It is as you say the opening gap that shows the column of black behind the jackets.

How interesting a post. The longer jacket is incredibly flattering, perhaps, as you said, due to the cut away effect. Both are so lovely. Pictures do so help us with perspective, don't they?

Both jackets are lovely and carry their own individual appeal. As for proportion the cut away front is amazing, it is creating a fluid line from top to bottom. I adore long jackets but find they can weigh down my petite torso I will have to try this jacket cut.

I agree that the v at the bottom of the jacket makes a difference. I think you need a super wide pair of trousers for the short jacket, though!liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-68333081662489571502014-03-08T09:01:59.198-05:002014-03-08T09:01:59.198-05:00You're right the cut away front is the key.

I think i personally like your longer jacket with the skirt and your shorter jacket with the pants, but i am not sure that i can articulate why. A couple of years back i analyzed my wardrobe and convinced myself that shorter tops and jackets are more flattering to my body shape. Any jacket that hits my between my high hip and the top of my thighs is just emphasizing my widest bit and thus not very flattering. But now you point out that there is another element to consider, the overall proportion of the various visual lengths. I had completely ignored that, silly me. I have been avoiding pants in favor of skirts but i think i need to go back and pay attention to the proportions. Thanks for making me rethink! And have a great and warm holiday!Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135632068660255341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-84202309482390602892014-03-08T03:29:29.830-05:002014-03-08T03:29:29.830-05:00Interesting comparison!

I remember the 80's suits and know what you mean. Maybe it would be a nice experiment to wear the longer one with ton sur ton trousers or skirt to check that effect too? (On the envelope I like the close color match on the longer jacket outfit). Thanks for posting, food for thought on the length of my next jacket!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144010556887549717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-52137936519410744432014-03-07T22:54:46.261-05:002014-03-07T22:54:46.261-05:00I like both jackets very much but I prefer the sho...I like both jackets very much but I prefer the shorter one with the pants and the longer one with the skirt. They look more interesting, just as the proportion photo you posted. <br /><br />Also, I think the color comes into play in the equation. The darker jacket shows as less contrast. Something I personally prefer in my clothes because of my body shape.<br /><br />Very pretty jackets and the fit is awesome.Sharon G Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121871965389227928noreply@blogger.com
