Both for the crispness, color, and the way it will integrate with your style. I feel like #4 is a sure thing for you whereas #1 would be a wild card.

I'm wondering because that might make a difference in what sleeve length you're wanting. I do prefer the long sleeve but that's partly because I love to scrunch. If you're looking for something to wear in the heat though, the shorter sleeve might be an option.</p> <p>I'm gonna be a total spanner though and say I'm not sure about any of them to be honest.....*slinks away*..... It may just be the stock photos, but I'm wondering about the weight of them which will affect the drape. They look kind of flimsy in the pics - will the soft lapels stay open or flap open and closed? And the length gives me a bit of pause - although the model is obviously much taller than you or I - lol! It's kind of a neither here nor there sort of length - it isn't cropped but it isn't the longer hip length that seems to be current in cardigans.</p> <p>I don't know....could just be projecting my own issues here...take it for what it's worth and I know you'd look fab no matter what :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420819 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 13:45:56 +0000 gryffin 1420819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty shape Deborah.&nbsp; I always favor black because it makes things dressier.&nbsp; I have a bogie about sleeve length in number 2, I like bracelet sleeves or long but it it has sleeves I prefer them to cover my elbows, to me it's a more flattering length.&nbsp; Agree with you and Una, like photo #4 best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420817 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 13:38:44 +0000 Suz 1420817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, you know I am going to tell you to try the blue, right? But take it for what it is worth -- I feel about blue as you do about black! Blue is my colour/ neutral/ everything!&nbsp;</p> <p>I do worry about s short sleeve style. I have trouble with that length, too. For some reason it is a difficult place for a sleeve to end on many of us. I do like the pewter, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420757 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 07:27:32 +0000 Dimity 1420757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an unreasonable dislike of short sleeved cardigans. They look right on some people, but I always run a mile when they beckon to me&nbsp;in a store. I like the colour of #1 but I don't recall ever seeing you in colour (besides denim shorts), so I'm not sure. Four looks nice too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420709 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 04:57:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1420709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I think the jacket in 1 and 4, with the rolled hem edges and the rumpled look, does not have your usual polish. It's cute, and you would wear it well, but I would get it only if you are looking for a little more casual vibe. The blue seems a little washed out to me, also, so of these choices, I lean toward the black. <br />I think the short-sleeved cardi would be great for summer, and I like the lines of it (the yoke seam and the drape front really appeal to me). But if you are not keen on that length of sleeve for yourself, then I would pass. I have a dress with a sleeve that length, and I really don't like the look or feel of it on my arms, fwiw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420708 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 04:57:44 +0000 catgirl 1420708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking again, I think it's the edge stitching giving it a more casual, less sharp look too - like it's been used and faded but not deliberately. Glad I'm not out of my head! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420699 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 04:27:11 +0000 Deborah 1420699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input.&nbsp; I am really leaning toward #1 in black. Una, you nailed my concern re the coloured one.&nbsp; It is a tad crinkly but in the colour it's not as 'sharp' looking as the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420698 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 04:23:06 +0000 rae 1420698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape but I am also not a huge fan of the half sleeve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420697 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 04:17:39 +0000 catgirl 1420697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 is my favorite of the bunch.&nbsp; Yeah, predictable.&nbsp; The first one is a great color but looks a little acid-washy, or is it just crinkly?&nbsp; I'm not sure on the sleeve length of the second - I actually like that length since I scrunch sleeves always, but it could be all wrong depending on fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420695 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 04:13:27 +0000 Elly 1420695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the one with sleeves--- I think if the color is true to the photo that it would be a great color on you and has enough contrast from black to keep it looking purposeful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420670 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 03:30:29 +0000 Sveta 1420670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color in #1, maybe a nice wild card for you to play with. The style is nice and if you like the rougher vibe then it may be a good choice.<br />Honestly the sleeve length in ##2/3 gives me pause. I would prefer them to be either shorter or longer - this looks like an awkward length to me...but then I am not into cardigans at all so what do I know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-jackets#post-1420666 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 03:20:50 +0000 Deborah 1420666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers,</p> <p>I so should be working but as you can see I am not that busy :)</p> <p>I have mentioned that I am keen to update and minimise my jacket /cardigan collection.</p> <p>I have two for your consideration.</p> <p>Both by Metalicus. Both are in fact "cardigans" but they have a relaxed jacket integrity that would make them suitable for work and play.</p> <p>#1 <b>The Jade Long Sleeve Cardigan.&nbsp; </b>I have been watching this one for&nbsp;while as I am very attracted to the colour (would work great with black or white) and the rough looking finish (I think it's a rolled hem)&nbsp; This also is available in black (see #4)</p> <p>#2 <b>The Lax Cropped Cardigan</b>.&nbsp; I believe Lyn D has this one in navy. I like it a lot.&nbsp; Good arm coverage, nice length but I feel it's just a little off for my style. Comes in a pewter also (#3)&nbsp; I do prefer either a long sleeve or no sleeve and fear despite liking it, it may make me <b>feel </b>a tad frumpy.&nbsp; <i>(Lyn D no frumpiness in sight when you wear yours, it's more about my shape)</i></p> <p><b></b>Would really appreciate your input if you have a moment.&nbsp; #4 is a bit of a no brainer for me and I am tempted, but I would like to know if you think the colour in #1 would work for me.</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p> <p>p.s.&nbsp; I move on quickly...skirted leggings, I am talking to you :)</p> <p></p>
