In this case I might go with your first gut reaction. Which one are you in love with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864569 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:32:17 +0000 Sara L. 864569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others that both jackets look good. Personally, I prefer the other one from your previous post. I'm looking forward to seeing your post with styling ideas for both jackets. Maybe that will help clarify a clear winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864556 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:24:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 864556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is indeed a tough one Janet - they both have such fabulous potential in your wardrobe and have completely different vibes to them. </p> <p>I will say personally that I prefer the Zara one - which surprises the heck out of me! Somehow the longer length and the design motif makes it more avant garde and edgy to me. But is that what you're after?</p> <p>Would love to see a couple of side-by-side pics of the same outfit with each jacket. I think it might be useful to get a sense of which one really works best with your current wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864553 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:22:29 +0000 Carole 864553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed your other post so I need to check that out first before I can comment.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864533 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:00:28 +0000 rachylou 864533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Letimotiv. </p> <p>But not the easiest decision. This is great for the rock n' roll flare you've got, but the thing that gives it that flare is a certain Chinatown tourist shop vibe. I don't know if I saw it in real life if it would come off cool or uncool... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864530 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:58:13 +0000 Janet 864530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everybody! Wow, so interesting to see the range of opinions. Also interesting that everyone seems to like both of them, but the opinions on which one they like more are almost evenly divided.</p> <p>I am hoping Angie chimes in, even though I know she's waiting for me to post some full length outfit pics. I probably won't have a chance to do that until Sunday. </p> <p>I have a feeling that somehow the Leitmotiv one won't date so easily. The Zara one seems more trendy, even though I suspect both have some longevity as unique statement pieces. Mochi and Jules, I understand what you're saying about the Zara jacket -- it is definitely more of a "look" which doesn't bother me. It's a bit edgier and makes a bigger statement. </p> <p>I suspect that the Zara might be a little less versatile for me, but I could be wrong. The color palette of the Zara jacket is a little more challenging for me to work with, since it's heavy on gold, but at least it's a soft gold. The Leitmotiv has more colors in it, and a quick glance in my closet tells me I have a few tops that would go with it, color wise. </p> <p>It is worth noting that these two jackets have different seasonal use for me. The Leitmotiv one is so lightweight, I can wear it spring, summer, and fall. The Zara one will have to hibernate for the summer -- it's much too warm for our mid-Atlantic heat and humidity. The Leitmotiv one has enough room under it that I can layer a little more under it to take me well into fall. </p> <p>Ideally, whatever jacket I get will work with jeans as well as skirts/dresses. I suspect that will depend on what tops I layer underneath. I wear jeans so much more than skirts and dresses. However, now that I'm thinking about it, in the summer I move towards my shorts and skirts more, as jeans are often too warm, and that changes the proportions I'd be working with. Hmm. </p> <p>This is tough! I actually really like both of them. I wish I didn't have so much to do in the next two days -- I'm anxious to play around with these jackets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864437 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:34:15 +0000 Jules 864437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This fit does look more current to me, without triggering the "borrowed someone else's coat" vibe that I get from some oversized jackets.<br /> It's interesting what mochi said because I have to admit the back triggered a reaction in me that it looked somewhat specific and sub-cultury (although I had no subculture in mind!). Sort of like an old 80s satin rock band jacket if you know the kind I mean. But of course much nicer than that I think it's much more of a statement item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864359 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:45:04 +0000 bj1111 864359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>color me surprised because i too like this on you much better. your body gives the bomber the structure it was missing on the model.</p> <p>much much better looking on a slightly curvier girl than the models. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864245 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:02:21 +0000 Raisin 864245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to see both side by side! This is going to be tough though...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864240 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:55:17 +0000 Suz 864240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going on first impressions also, I prefer the first one. Despite the possible length problem. But you know what? Maybe you are going to have to show us both jackets in the same post, styled in ways you think you might like to wear. They are both beautiful pieces and you are beautiful in them, which makes it hard to choose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864180 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:03:58 +0000 Diana 864180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going on first impressions, I prefer the Leitmotiv. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864159 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:18:40 +0000 Ingunn 864159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor Janet! I think you'll have to keep both, because we are of no help for you this time. I am torn as well, because they are both great, one way or another. I think I prefer the length of the first one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864154 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:47:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 864154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough call as you say. They are different enough for it to be confusing but not so different that you'd want to keep both. </p> <p>I would say it would depend on what function this would serve &amp; whether you want the jacket to have staying power - this one is trending but I get the feeling the other shape is more you in the long term. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864147 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:33:42 +0000 Deborah 864147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet just checked out the other one in your prev post. I like the Yoox one best. I prefer the pattern and tones and the shorter length. Take this with a grain of salt though as Im not vp crazy about bomber jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864132 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 05:49:44 +0000 CocoLion 864132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am torn. Right now, I think I prefer the shorter one though. Plus, it will be more unique. Zara things have a way of becoming ubiquitous.</p> <p>But I could change my mind tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864126 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 05:38:07 +0000 DonnaF 864126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess we need to know how you plan to wear the jacket(s). To me, you can pull off a long bomber due to your super long legs, and am wondering if the cropped one would make you look disproportionate -- which is the opposite of Tina's thinking, lol.</p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing styled photos of the two jackets side by side this March. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864119 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 05:29:25 +0000 MNsara 864119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, just scanning through the comments and there is no consensus! I might like this one better for the boyfriend fit it has.</p> <p>But, I think it will be good to get full length shots to compare. </p> <p>They are very different from each other, and I think they're going to have very different ways they'll look best for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864098 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:57:23 +0000 Tina.b 864098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this one as well, but I think I prefer the other. So different from each other for something incredibly similar, if that makes sense. I'm more drawn to the floral pattern of the Leitmotiv. And I think with your long legs you pull off the cropped shape really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864094 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:52:16 +0000 annagybe 864094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864041 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:04:56 +0000 Mochi 864041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hold on; you're going to get feedback you never got before in your life. </p> <p>But first, I like the other jacket more in terms of fit; it highlighted your tiny waist and I just think this style of jacket looks better cropped on most people. </p> <p>For me, personally, the pattern on this one brings to mind something a yakuza would wear. Japanese hubs was in agreement. I suppose that in Baltimore you would not get others making this association.....</p> <p>Get the other one, which I liked a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864040 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:04:40 +0000 Kristin SF 864040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am Team Leitmotiv as well. The print on that jacket is exquisite and its cropped length is so flattering for your figure. I do like this Zara jacket, too, but prefer the first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864031 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:53:32 +0000 sarah 864031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I like this one MUCH better - the proportions are much better to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864027 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:51:05 +0000 Nicole D 864027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Letimotiv. Tough on though, the second one has such a striking image on it, like wearable art. But I think the shorter cut is more flattering. Could you size down in the Zara one? They are both exquisite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864025 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:46:38 +0000 rae 864025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn, too. I like this one with jeans, but I predict I'll like the cropped one with skirts and dresses. I really love the sporty stripes on this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-864014 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:38:17 +0000 Anonymous 864014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm totally torn. I love the length of the other one but the motif of this one is soooo pretty.<br /> I'm going to give it a sleep.</p> <p>ETA: Ok, I vote for the yoox one. I like the length better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-863995 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:24:32 +0000 Anonymous 863995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer this one on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-863994 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:22:48 +0000 abc 863994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what alaskagirl said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-863988 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:18:01 +0000 Echo 863988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very hard to compare the two because they are so different. I like this one better, though. I prefer the contrast arms and the Asian-inspired print. I prefer the almost letterman style of this one over the banded style of the other (which doesn't actually strike me as bomber). What does it reverse to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-863982 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:08:56 +0000 catgirl 863982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmmm. I prefer the shorter one. My eye isn't adjusted to this longer length in a bomber, and I like the pattern and color scheme of the Leitmotiv one more. That is just me, of course... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-bomber-jacket-arrived-too#post-863979 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:07:47 +0000 Anonymous 863979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like this one better on you! </p>
