i last got mine on the way to a funeral in about 2002.

do I need a new one? What has changed?
i am toying with light wash. I KNOW
but that shade suits me and the summer clothes I would wear with it. CANNOT do cropped nor really biker

This - is it cropped or not? Is unclear

( btw old one was Next - hence this as starting point, was a long journey to funeral)

No, I think that one is quite long, would definitely be hip length on me though I'm only 5'4. I quite like the wash on that one.

i like the wash on that too but it's def not cropped

I need one too. my last one was a baggy levis number from the early 90s, not a good look. I want something cropped/fitted as well. will watch with interest...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/04/2013 10:57

I like the wash on that but it looks really long to me. I think more fitted/shorter ones are generally much more flattering - you have to be careful not to veer into this sort of bagginess with the less fitted ones.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/04/2013 11:00

Quite like the look of this one

you see, this is the thing, trying to work out HOW old faves have aged, and what the difference is

I have the current season one from Fat Face and it's nice. Simple, not long although not cropped and a nice denim shade.

OneLittleLady · 14/04/2013 14:08

I have a slightly cropped one from Joe Browns. It's a light wash and goes brilliantly with all my summer clothes. Had to be cropped as all the standard length ones were massive on me ( I'm a teeny 5 foot FYI) so cropped was the way forward

Am trying and failing to imagine a pony in a denim jacket...possibly with gold leggings too? :)

I have this one which is lovely.

Warehouse do nice ones but they don't fit me at all but worth a try.

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/04/2013 15:01

Oh the warehouse ones are tiny - I couldn't do a 10 up round my boobs and am generally an 8.

noddyholder · 14/04/2013 15:05

I think you need to go very light or dark Mid blue is a bit OAP they all wear them at our local church 'lunch club'

noddyholder · 14/04/2013 15:07

nice have seen

JamEyelid · 14/04/2013 15:53

I've been thinking of getting this Fat Face one.

All Saints but expensive and probably too dark for you

I've got a Dorothy Perkins one from last year. It is a really nice fit, if you can get to a store they might have some more sizes in.

DS1 has a really light one, it's always in the wash!

noddyholder · 14/04/2013 16:52

There is a lovely on in zara but i could n't do it up easily even teh L

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/04/2013 16:53

Do people really fasten denim jackets though? I don't - I like them v fitted and a bit cropped, and leave them open - the same as I do a biker.
