FLATTERING ACTIVE WEAR JACKET

I was noticing Isaac's TSV today, which looks cute, but I am now a total convert to "peplum" french terry jackets, like this one: 

 

https://www.qvc.com/Denim-%26-Co-Active-Peplum-Zip-Front-Long-Sleeve-Jacket.product.A277655.html?sc=...

 

It gives you a waist, and to me looks flattering on women of all sizes.  Doesn't give that shapeless, "blocky" look, but gently curves in and out.  AND, it's not too long (I'm 5'3"), nor is the peplum part too big or stick out to far.  You do have to watch that with some peplums, but this one is not exxagerated.

 

And, no hood, so can be dressed up somewhat, more versatile.

 

Have been on a Denim and Co. 'kick' lately, but I do find their sizing, while not perfect, more consistent than some others.

 

Hubby has never spontaneously commented on other active wear jackets--  with this one he immediately said, 'hey that's cute!"   Sold!   I had to get the deep olive and new antique rose....

Here's another video of it, showing more models wearing it and looking super:

@Oznell

 

Issac & D&C are hawing the same/similar jacket?

"Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

Re: FLATTERING ACTIVE WEAR JACKET

Well, @Mz iMac, they aren't.  It was Isaac's new jacket that got me musing about my D and Co. jacket that's been around forever!  (Not quite.)  I'm really sold on the shaping of the Denim and Co. one, and on the absence of a hood.  I kind of think it makes it more versatile...

 

On the other hand, Isaac's seems to have plushy-good cozy lining in his!

@Oznelli have that d and c jacket but mine washed terribly.The zipper didn’t shrink but the jacket did so I don’t like how it lays.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, @dex.  I've occasionally had that happen with french terry too-- so maddening that you never know ahead of time what will happen...
