Wearing T-shirts longer than jackets

Why can't I get used to this? {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

I'm not sure I'll get used to it either. I really dislike the look. I feel like a slob if my top hangs out.

Much of the time I think it looks really bad on models during presentations, too.

I have a Dakota lamb leather cropped moto jacket and I LOVE it over longer tops with skinny jeans and boots. I always get compliments. I think the key is a longer shirt, but not frumpy (if that makes sense).

Re: Wearing T-shirts longer than jackets

It's not something I'd ever wear. It's just not my style and wouldn't work with my "look."

But - I think it looks perfectly okay on other people.

Just because something is out there, it's not necessary that we all have to love it and wear it. You don't even have to like it!

It's a popular look, but I've never thought it looked very good (sometimes better than others, of course). It breaks up a person's "look" midway down the body which I don't think is very flattering. Oh well!

I don't own many jackets but I love open cardigan styles worn over a longer tank or tee. Traditional length jackets look like business wear to me, just not my style.

I should add ... I do wear shorter-over-longer - just not shrunken jackets over hip-length t-shirts. I love layering - but not this jacket/t-shirt layering.

Re: Wearing T-shirts longer than jackets

So many jackets are so short these days that if the tops were shorter than the jackets my B BUTTON would show, and I'm don't like to be forced to tuck things in, but on occasion I have and worn a belt.I have gotten used to having tops hang down below the jackets, but they can't be loose and sloppy.

Tacky, Tacky, Tacky!!!!

It looks like Mommy forgot to remind you to tuck in your shirt. There's no way I would ever wear this look, and honestly I've never seen any of my kids or grandkids wearing this. Thank goodness!

I see it sometimes at WalMart, but never at any higher end places.

Because you are resistant to change.
