This Really Exists

Greeneyedlady21 — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 11:08:58 GMT

I've been looking for a new black faux leather moto jacket and came across this one. An off the shoulder. At Bloomingdales, brand is Do and Be. $98.

What is the point, I ask. Somebody please explain.

Colder Shoulder?

The way I saw one woman wearing an OTS jacket here was with a crisp white collared shirt with the cuffs extra-long so they were nearly covering her hands. She had on a fairly large statement necklace, too. It looked a little odd at first but then I realized that was the style.

Well, it may be the style, but it's not my style.

("This Really Exists" reminds me of that M&M-Santa Claus commercial that's shown during the Holidays)

I love them both. I would layer over a very thin wide scoop neck fitted t-shirt with extra long sleeves.

To separate women from their money.

I'm not a fan of the style even in leather. The idea of an off-the-shoulder jacket eludes me.

And, you can wear it in the winter under another jacket!

As someone else said, these aren't outerwear jackets. These are meant to be part of someone's outfit. I actually think the second one is cute but not something I'd buy for myself or wear. I'm not into leather clothing.

I like the first one. It's definitely not outerwear but I don't think it's trying to be. Reminds me of Olivia Newton John.

I'd love to see it with a collared shirt underneath, maybe romantic style neckline with ruffles as a contrast. Hmmm....

Those are for fashionistas who are going out to a club or something. They aren't for everyday wear.

It's not my style, but I think with the right jean or skirt, it would make an interesting and "cool" outfit.

A great example of trusting your style instincts, your money and just say "No"!

IMO, it is just another example of designers desperate to come up with something different, no matter how ridiculous it is. Also an example of how some women will wear anything if they are told it is in style.

@GenXmuse

Exactly! If anyone is donning that 'jacket' against the bitter cold they're a few fries short of happy meal!

I don't do strapless and a leather shirt in Miami just isn't very practical (considering what it probably costs!) but I guarantee my husband would like it!

@SilleeMee,I've seen this too. It's an interesting look.
