I have been craving a green army jacket for quite sometime now. Here are some of my picks:
I can’t pull the trigger because I can’t decide. Which do you like?

I really like all of those. I had been looking for an army jacket for a while too, and mostly finding things out of my budget, like that Elizabeth and James. I bought one from Target, the Converse brand, and have already worn it quite a few times. I mainly wear it belted. It’s great over pencil skirts to toughen them up a bit, and also casually. Here’s a link:

Thank you! I am trying to convince myself that I would wear it all the time. Do you wear yours a lot?
Sorry for that humongous link! I bought it about a month ago and I’ve worn it a dozen times at least. I took out the tie so I could wear it belted. It’s a light cotton, perfect for our climates (I’m in Arizona). I like that the pockets have some gathering, it’s a pretty detail. I’ve put it over a tank and pencil skirt and heels, worn it with jeans, thrown it over a dress that is similar to your Alexander Wang. Very versatile.
Thanks so much! I do need something lightweight and I love the price point on the Target one…..
For you, Sydney, because you’re tiny, I would choose the James Perse. For a taller/larger boned woman, the Elizabeth and James. Don’t want you to get lost in there!!! lol…
Val, you are too sweet, and mistaken! I do like the James Perse one a lot. I am also loving the silk one. Oh, decisions.
the james perse is nice (i tried it on at saks recently) and can pass as a “shirt” also
I like the idea of wearing it as a shirt too…..
Hmm, well I like the slouchy fit of that Club Monaco one, but like the structuredness of the E&J. Lol, I’m sure that didn’t help. I just wished the James Perse was more saturated in color.
I bought one from F21 and I have to say it has been surprisingly versatile and I love to wear it.
Well, you just summed up what is in my head! This is why I keep staring and not buying. 🙂
