new denim jacket

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

No but it felt wrong not to be able to I sometimes do over a dress

My denim jacket was bought in 1989 ... Shock

Perfect timing, I've been looking in the shops and have only seen cropped ones. I have a nice waist but also have hips and cropped jackets accentuate my hips too much. Am gutted the long one in Next is sold out. I wear a denim jacket on casual days at work Remus in place of a smart jacket and therefore need to be able to do up some of the buttons or team it with a scarf. My old one isn't very comfortable at the moment so have just purchased the grey Next one as think the colour might suit my wardrobe better. Thanks for posting the thread op, I'd never have thought of Next!

I have a Falmers one from Matalan, nice colour and fit.

Too square. The front all crinkled. Plus odd green yellow hue to wash.

I loved the white broderie top I shoved in too. £14 bargain.

Link to top - I need more broderie in my life (although would prefer grey to white tbh!).

twentythirteen · 16/04/2013 18:19

Just fyi, you were right op, the grey one is going back. Yuck.

I had a nude bra on anyway when I tried it.
No see through

Blimey - Next does 100% cotton? Faints. Will have to have a look in there.

You see I can't do frills so any detail has to be on a plain shape

Do you happen to have tried any of their long sleeved striped t-shirts? Just had a look online and they are also 100% cotton and look longer than belly button length (grrrr at M&S and H&M). Wondered if they might be worth a look irl.

No. Had a long sleeved one in autumn I was optimistic about but it shrunk in length.
Link ?

Got the pale grey skinnies. Find them great in summer

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/04/2013 18:08

Here They have lots of colours. I might go and have a look.

I like grey skinnies and need new ones, as mine have gone baggy - will check those out too. I haven't been in there for ages as I used to go in, shriek and walk out in disgust every time.

Can only stomach online. Are some good finds but you need to be discerning

Ooh yes. Good reviews too.
They call it a "striped top" too. ;)

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/04/2013 18:22

Yes - that's because it is a striped top and not a Breton. :) Wink

Would a S fit in the mink top? It looks quite loose.
