urban outfitters overdyed jacket

Okay, so I saw this really beautiful jacket on sale on urban outfitters (sold out/top rated) but only came in XL http://pinterest.com/pin/488288784568289170/ the model is 6 foot and is wearing a Medium yet it doesn't even reach his waist. So I'm thinking since im like 5 foot 5? ish might aswell get the XL since I want the sleeves to be longer :c but now I'm regretting it cause maybe it wont fit me properly and im probably going to be wearing it unzipped 95% of the time :$ Do you think I will have to hem it or is it okay? because UGH im stressing out.

The first one does look like something a girl would use over a guy.
The second one is nice, but I can't see it being very versatile.
The third one I prefer out of the three. I'd go with black since it'd fit with any color.[/quote]

well the second one is for school.. and I only carry one binder (unorganized) so I think its pretty versatile.. but yeah I might get the third one i kinda want it beige cause it looks unique though QQ

@MrKratos: I guess I'm screwed with the jacket... oh boy maybe I'll get it hemmed before spring starts!

on the other hand since i'm kinda guessing you have a pretty nice fashion sense advise me on which bag to buy? I'm ordering it preferably in a couple days
I wanted this one but it's a handbag and I was looking for a messenger bag/shoulder bag my mom says it looks like its for girls http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2013-New-Arrival-Mens-Cool-Coffee-Handbag-Horsehide-Shoulder-Bag-Genuine-Leather-Fashion-Retro-Bag-LINSHI/417096_736871713.html

Then I wanted this one http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-wholesale-Linshi-asks-new-arrival-vintage-messenger-casual-chest-pack-man-bag-058/674753600.html (I just love the deep coffee color and the brand linshi style) except chest packs look SO WIERD idk if I can pull it off :$ (add a T to -asks)

So I think im going with this one.. cant decide whether black or beige (black/grey are my school colours) but I want to stand out.. and beige can be worn during the summer aswell... http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-quality-new-arrival-canvas-genuine-leather-mens-bag-fashion-casual-bag-shoulder-bag-messenger-bag/691360929.html

[quote=teenagedream]yeah thats what I was thinking.. rolling up the sleeves cause it looks thin enough. but I was going for this type of style x.x k fine im trying too hard to have a new look for second semester and this vibrant jacket was like PERFECT ugh.. http://www.fashionbeans.com/2012/mens-fashion-trend-over-sizing/[/quote]

Oversizing was a 90's/early 2000's thing in my opinion.
These days, I only see over sizing work on females, not males.
I think for the past few years, and the next few years, thin and fitted stuff will be popular.
Perhaps you should give another countries style a shot. Something like South Korean fashion?

[quote=MrKratos]It might actually be worse that way.
The thing is, in model shots, they tend to tighten the back with clips to make it look "fitted".
That medium he's wearing is a lot bigger than the picture makes it seem.

So imagine about a 30% increase to that medium, and maybe a few more inches into the arm length.
Seems a bit too baggy in my opinion.

When you get it, play around and see what you can do. Rolling up the sleeves isn't a problem because a lot of the time it would make it more stylish. But the length of the jacket itself well.. That's up to you. xD[/quote]

[quote=teenagedream]It's out of stock.. and I can't cancel it I think I'll try getting it hemmed it so.. but if I'm wearing it loose/unzipped maybe it'll be okay?[/quote]

[quote=MrKratos]Hm.. I would say you might have to thin it down. If this is going by generic American sizing, M-> XL is an EXTREMELY big difference. (Granted, I wear XS/S so I'm not sure anymore.)
I would say either cancel the order/return it and wait a while for the size you want. But that's just my opinion.[/quote]

you are too short to wear an XL. Don't get something that doesn't fit you.
