opinions on this jacket from girlshop

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

Not feeling it

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

It's ok, but I don't love it. I think that the fit might end up being awkward and unflattering.

I agree, it looks a little awkward.

alb · Marc Jacobs

Thanks girls. I thought it was cool at first, but I'm starting to lose interest.

ranchera20 · Marc Jacobs

I actually like it! It seems different but in a good way.

littlebean · Kate Spade

I like it! (Today is the day where I like everything that everyone doesn't!)

cat · Marc Jacobs

I like it,I think it would look cute with jeans.

Kitty · Hermes

Something does look "off" about it. I think with that collar there needs to be more than one button.

squishy · Coach

it's cute and will probably look ok unbuttoned, but i'm worried about the fit. (the workmanship doesn't look that great, either)

I like the style but those back darts look like crappy tailoring. I think you can do better for the money.

Hedvig · Coach

I agree on the tailoring looking crappy. The jacket looks pretty frumpy to me, sorry.

thrillme · BCBG

I really like it--- what I think looks off about it is that it seems too small for the model

chloe · BCBG

haha when i first saw the title of this thread i was thinking "it would be funny if it was the one i had my eye on" and it was! I like the cut of this jacket just because it a cool take on a blazer/jacket. I like the collar and sleeves because it just seems different from what ive been seeing. But i suppose different doesnt always mean good. I showed my mom the jacket and she hated that it just had one button for closure. WHen i looked at it again there was something about the material and fit that made me think it looked a bit off.

Yeah, first glance at it I thought it looked like a school sewing project. Even the seam on the collar on the back is uneven. Quality wise, It looks like a $20 jacket from Rave. It's a good concept and all but for that kind of money it should be made perfectly.

sydney · Kate Spade

I'm on the fence on this. Cute look cute with a pencil skirt. However, I agree that the tailoring doesn't look good.

The shape has potential, but I'm leaning toward no... something's off about the fit.

fashionista L · Coach

I am not really a fan of tweed, or the shape... sorry!

kmd · Kate Spade

I actually think the problem is that the jacket is too small for the model. That's what it looks like to me, anyway.

I think it's alright, but I'm not a huge fan. The button looks out of place to me, and the collar looks puffy.

I agree with this - the collar looks like a wrap.
