Lady Jacket Cardigan Sweater

I really like the lady jacket look, this one is perfect because it is more casual in a sweater knit vs the dressier more blazer style.

 

Unfortunately this one is too short for me at 20". What's with everything being cropped? Works well for petite women.

 

It's from J Crew Factory $69.00 100 percent cotton. Navy and ivory or mushroom and ivory. 4.8 rating

I buy a lot of clothing from JCrew and I have "loved" this sweater jacket for a long time but it is way too short for me. I do love it, however.

@Greeneyedlady21  That's a cute jacket. Check out A-618808 just for the heck of it.

I'm a stripe girl so I like it. It's a bit short. Cropped jackets and cardigans have been trending for awhile.

 I really like this cardigan.  I would have never guessed it was 20" by looking at it on the model.

Re: Lady Jacket Cardigan Sweater

I totally get what you mean! It can be so frustrating when a jacket has everything you’re looking for except the length. Cropped styles are everywhere these days, and while they look great on some, they’re not always practical for everyone. I wish more brands would offer the same styles in a variety of lengths to cater to different body types. The sweater knit sounds perfect for a casual but put-together look, and the price is great for 100% cotton. I might have to check it out, but I’d definitely be hoping for a longer version too! Have you tried looking at other stores, or maybe even checking J.Crew’s main line? Sometimes they offer similar styles with slight variations. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!

I love and wear only cropped tops, sweaters, etc. I'm 5'8" and actually shop the petite dept for tops because I look better in short tops.

The striped one is also available in solid colors.
