Military Jacket

[fashionjunkie^]

Hi,

I bought a very cute dark blue military jacket with golden buttons
on it and golden 'stripes' on the shoulders. But I can't close all the
buttons, should I return it for a bigger size or should I keep it?
do you think that the all the buttons must be closed?!

Thanks for your help!

Is it tight at the back or just fitted?

 

[fashionjunkie^]

Yes, it's tight!

I'd return, because you'll probably eventually regret that your not able to show off the gold buttons on that one day ya know! makes it more versatile if you able to wear open or closed! I say return it

a military jacket should be fitted when all the buttons are closed, but since you can't even close the buttons, it's probably too small. i think you should return it for the next larger size.

btw, didn't you try on the jacket before you bought it??

 

[fashionjunkie^]

No, I can close almost all the buttons, but not all...
my friend said to me, that I shouldn't get a bigger size, so I bought this one!
*stupid*

If its a cute tight jacket thats fitted, I dont think the gold buttons have to fasten. B)

I am still on the hunt for the perfect military jacket.
Most of the ones that I have seen feel a little over the top...

Have you checked H&M? They seem to have cheap and nice military jackets there.

how do you guys wear your jackets?

(1) open up? and unbutton of course
(2) button at the last button and tucked in
(3) button all the way up and leaving the top open

I've got two military jackets, a denim and a black one. I always wear them open. I really love wearing them. They remind me of Adam Ant ("pirate" singer from the 80's).

I bought mine at H&M for 30 euro!
But I'm looking for more, at Zara, Mango etc!
I really like the one Mango has on their site!
