Lace moto jacket?

Susie

Lace is not something I would usually wear but I've been wanting to try it. This jacket looks like it could be a fun way to wear it. What do you think?

I like the jacket! If you're thinking about it, is there a Nordstrom's near you where you can try it on?

Love the jacket! The fit would be key. Those sleeves look like they'd be a pain to alter.

Oh shoot I missed the zipper sleeves. Sleeves are always too long for me. But I do have Harry the magic tailor.

Unfortunately I don't have nordstrom so I would have to order it to try it.

I was prepared to hate it just on the description but I think that's quite lovely and worth a try.

I saw this in my local store and loved it!
Unfortunately they didn't have my size to try on, but I thought it was really tempting.

Anybody have any styling ideas for dressing it down so that it wouldn't just be for the holidays?

That thought does give me pause, Parsley. Did it look really dressy IRL? I would want it to be more versatile than that.

Ooh, fun! I like it. It does look a bit dressy but then daytime sparkle has been trendy recently, AFAIK, so you could probably get away with dressing it down with jeans, etc.

To me it looked dressy; I could see it as a part of a holiday outfit or with a shell and a pencil skirt for a very polished work look.

What I'm trying to imagine is whether I could make it work with something like colored jeans and a tee for my casual lifestyle. I think it could, but I'm still in the learning stages as far as putting things like that together.

I think this could just be thrown on, it doesn't always have to be fancy IMO.

This is a beautiful jacket, Susie, definitely worth a try!
I agree with Dana, you could dress it up or down. White, blue or black jeans and a striped tee or sweater. Boyfriend jeans, slouchy khakis, a plaid button-down, patterned trousers... more casual footwear...

The sleeves on this are regular length vs. moto length, so maybe this would work! The lace looks heavy and in almost a reptilian pattern so to my eye it looks pretty versatile.

You could do a denim shirt under it for casual, too. I love that it's metallic. I think you should totally give it a try. The style and sheen kind of balance the sweetness of the lace.

I am with IK. I was prepared to hate it based on the description and thinking of a tactful response.

Then i saw it!

Free shipping, free returns - I think you should totally try it! It is so fun!

I would definitely try to style it in a casual way. I think it could work really well with jeans, booties and a tee. I think it's fun to combine a dressier piece like this with more casual ones.
