Alexander Wang Jacket for those with a long neck (on sale)

Suz/Staysfit/Shannon/Karie & Angie: Did I miss anyone?

This jacket caught my eye. I would love to add something like this to my dressy capsule but it would not suit my short neck. It is modern classic with some avant garde thrown in. Very Helmut Lang too. It looks like it will not date quickly. And $270 doesn't seem like a bad price for a designer jacket. Available in sizes 2, 4 and 10.

That's a great jacket. Average neck here but my longish hair would probably obscure the collar detail, at least on the side where I wear my hair longer. The short side might show it! Actually, it's similar to the collar on my long BCBG jacket, but a more exaggerated version. Really nice!

Beautiful jacket, thanks so much for thinking of us! Does anyone know how Alexander Wang runs? I have a feeling my size is gone already. In most designer lines I size up and take a 6.

Cocolion - unless your neck is too short to accomdate the height of the collar I don't see why this jacket might not work for you. Look how the high collar cuts out with the notch giving her the illusion of a longer neck than she has. I do you you'd have to try it on but if the base collar is not overly high, somethings this kind of tailoring can actually balance the architecture. I find that with my EF notch collar tweed coat jacket from last year. PS HL is brilliant at this his smoking or gala tux is so cleverly constructed that it is very flattering to the neck. I've never tried on an AW jacket but I'd be interested to compare the tailoring and effect. Just a thought.

Staysfit, I have only ever tried on one Alexander Wang item (dress last year) and that item definitely ran small. If you can get your size, I think this jacket would look stunning on you.

Thanks for posting. I have a very long neck. My hair probably hides it. It is a beautiful jacket but I can not stand anything that touches my neck like that. Maybe because I have an old neck injury.

Extremely Long Neck Club here. Gorgeous jacket. Too bad it's black.

Oh what a stunner! And how sweet are you Denise for posting this Unfortunately my neck is kind of on the shorter side BUT my short hair I think makes it look longer.

Ooh. That is fab. Thank you for thinking of us!! I wish it were available in ink. I love that kind of neckline. What gryffin notes is also very interesting.

This is a great style for people with sloped shoulders (like me). The high neck really squares off the shoulders and makes your neck look longer!

I just love this jacket. Thanks for posting CocoLion.
