How do you feel about.....

shirts that are longer than the jacket worn over them?

Seems to be popular; they're showing a lot of this look. I'm personally not a big fan....

I don't mind short over long it's several years old. If the jacket is kept open, the long line of the top from neckline to hem forms a strong slimming vertical.

I'm sure back in 2013, it was very popular.

10-yr old fad? 🤷‍♀️

It's fine with me. I think it can be made to look good, but I don't think it should be your go-to for out-to-eat dining, business meetings or office attire. If you work from home, it is a great idea. When I went from office in town to my home office, I realized within 24 hours, I was my own secretary, my own office clerk, my own computer repair guy and I would not be able to wear business suits in order to untangle cords in the floor, pull the tray of carbon-filled ink out and ruin my white gabardine pants or jacket.

So, I began wearing pajamas for work (the worn ones) and then I graduated to leggings. I am fine with casual wear such as this depending on the time, place.

This is a good look with leggings.

It looks a whole lot better when ladies that shouldn't wear leggings with a short jacket like I saw this AM. A long shirt under the jacket whould have covered what should have been covered.

I like it a lot. I'm petite & I feel that it elongates my silhouette .

yes. it's a pervasive 'trend' that's been going on for some time now. Didn't ask for a timeline; just posted some examples and asked what you thought about it..

I like it as long as the jacket is free flowing and not cutting you off.

It depends. There was a time years ago, I thought it looked sloppy. Shirts were always tucked in.

But, now I think it depends on the woman, what she is wearing, colors, and how it looks on her. Also, like to see a monochromatic look. Jacket, top, and bottom the same color.

In the first photo, I think there is too much fabric around her hips and she's cutting her body into thirds using black, white, and blue.

Second, the shirt is too tight around her hips and don't like this outfit at all. Her partner needs help, too.

The first picture looks nice. Second one looks sloppy. I'm OK with the look if it's put together properly and neatly. It all depends on the fit.

to me the tucking improves the look

as does a much longer shirt

@Andreatoo I've always liked this look. I've been seeing it for quite a long time.

I used to go out of my way to avoid that look, even going back to change what I was wearing before dashing over to the local grocery for a single item.

But it looks ok with the trimmer fit of leggings and jeggings as long as the underlayer isn't too long.

In your OP photo, his looks proportionally ok, while her flannel is way too long for her jacket.

I think balancing the proportions is key to making this look good.

More often than not I'll pick A over B

I've done it a few times. Just to do something a little different when I wear a Jean jacket.

This concept has been around awhile but I still like it.

It is a nice casual look. However, I do not like the flair blouse underneath the jacket, I would prefer a straight lined top underneath. I also feel there is a time and place to wear such a look since it is very casual.

This has been done for years now. I remember when it first started, I hated it. LOL

I think it looks good in some cases and in others it looks bad. I don't like either look in the opening post. To me, the proportion is off with the white shirt and jean jacket and that shirt is the wrong type of shirt to wear under that jacket.

In the picture of the woman wearing the red, I really hate the look of the outfit with the top tucked in and the jacket shorter.

Don't like - never have, never will, but don't care if others want to dress that way.
