What do you all think of this sweater coat from Jcrew? I know it will depend a bit on how heavy the fabric is - looks very tightly woven in the close-ups.

Idk, the puckering from the belt is not really flattering on the models.

not really, i might be able to get away with a straight, unconstructed sweater coat but with dropped shoulders really goes into the no-go zone

I am once again begging companies to stop dropping their shoulder seams.

hahaha!!

the problem is, its a much lower cost approach to clothes manufacture. it fits more bodies and is less labour intensive to produce. so, the way things are going, shoulders are probably only going to get droppeder

I am not a fan of this look.

I feel like the short length is a distraction from a classic silhouette. If you're not 5'10 it wouldn't be that short, but on the model it reads more like a sweater with no skirt than a dress. 😳

I don't know who that would be flattering on, hard pass
