Totally agree with the ladies here. Looks superb with ankle length pants or pencil skirts. This is what I wear with it or the runway pants, well of course I got the Dior virus somehow [emoji23]

Btw. The jacket came in white as well for spring, very nice but I didn't get it to come back for the black prefall now .
I guess it'll be reissued quite often. I had a black Dior blazer with lapels before but this one is really a totally different look. It's all about the cut but I guess DH won't tell the difference. Here is the old one

Pourquoispas all of your outfits look beautiful. The white jacket is pretty too. Maybe next year.
Momasaurus there are two pairs of leopard shoes: the 4 inch jimmy choo stilettos that are strictly car to restaurant shoes and a pair of kitten heel Manolo shoes. I think I would go with the kitten heels.
Genie, if you are reading this I think pourquoispas' black Mary Janes are really nice. I think they are Gucci. I wonder how the heel is.

The heels are around 8mm but the whole shoe is extremely comfortable. A large heel and a round toe box make a huge difference . I bought two colors last year but now they're sold out. I found all Gucci shoes more comfortable than Chanel, Louboutin or even RV but their styles are not really what I'm looking for at present.

The slings are good for working indoors but not so much for town walking as far as I'm concerned. I'm interested in the new Louboutin moderate heels that were discussed earlier. They seem to come in black only?
PbP, were you referring to the ones with the pearl on the side? Those are cute. I find Gucci either super comfy or ridiculously painful/unwearable.
My basics over the past decade all seem to be Prada.
I'm still debating those two pairs. I just looked in my shoe closet and I have soooooo many summer sandals, so I may return the Choos. They are unnecessary. The Mary Janes are not ideal either, so for practical reasons may go back.

Love it with the ankle pants. A much more modern look and the slimmer cut works well with the clean lines of the jacket silhouette.
PbP, ooh, this is an exciting departure for you. I am finding the Dior very severe - it needs something to soften/brighten it - a scarf or contrasting blouse. Both Ari and PqP have shown beautiful looks with contrasting blouse and scarf. And the pants are a bit baggy? - the ankle pants look neater because of the skin showing as well as the neater line.
Have you tried it with jeans? Or a straight skirt like PqP?
I can see it with a crisp white blouse with a statement collar of some kind.

You're right about severe. It's the existentialist kind of look. But it's a modern classic. I have days where I need this kind of puristic look to feel on top of the situation. I would wear a touch of color with it. Bag or scarf. Most of the time I need a more feminine attire to be myself though.
I think severe is a good word. It looks great on Ari and on pourquoispas. I have already decided that the pants and skirt are going back. Even shortening the pants won't help. They are not a good cut for me. (In fact I am buying a backup pair of my ankle pants because they really are one of the few pairs of pants that work for me.)I'm deciding about the jacket. I'm not sure the jacket on it's own feels special enough to warrant the price. It would be one thing if I had a nice Dior ensemble that I could also break up and use as separates, but that's not an option. It would also be more reasonable if it cost $2000-2500 but it's $3850. So maybe the answer is to wait for a different bar jacket in a different season.
The jacket is 2980 euros here. So you might wait for your perfect one to buy in Europe if in doubt or if to many alterations are needed. I was waiting for the perfect plain black blazer and I found it. I won't need another one after this one and it will be a pleasure to own it. It's definitely not a Chanel sort of pleasure, more a quiet enjoyment for myself.
