In mall trying new style

Sally

Veteran

Hi
I've put some stuff on hold. I've bought black looser pants in end photo.
I to 2 khaki coat and black yoga style dress pants
3 to 4 red jacket and dress pants
5 purple cost
6 black sweatshirt top
7 grey sweater

Just wondering how the looser pants look with looser sweater. I would wear with slip on sneakers, ankle boots, loafers or Oxfords.
Also which jacket looks good if any.
Thanks for in advance for feedback.

I really like the purple and olive jackets, but I think everything looks good, I do not see any issue with any of the items here.

Thanks Tanya. I have an issue with dress pants because I have a flat butt but think maybe it looks ok with the baggier top

The olive jacket is nice. The red one doesn't seem to close properly and looks a little shoulder-paddy, but that could just be the photo angle.

I prefer both of the black pants (#1/2, #6-8) to the gray in #3/4; the gray don't have a wholly "intentionally roomy" look, if that makes sense. As you say, probably due to not filling out the seat enough. Are you still losing weight? That would be another thing to consider when going for roomier/oversized pieces -- how long you'll be able to continue wearing them before they stop looking intentionally roomy. Love the look of the big sweater with roomy pants in #7/8 (good cut, no banded hem, drop shoulder seam is sporty). Do you like that shade of light gray? I like the olive coat but worry it's a little short for its heaviness. Same with the purple. Not sure what your weather is like! Do you have enough mild weather for it to be useful? Sweatshirt top looks good. Red jacket looks a bit big in the shoulders to me.

Thanks. The black pants are the same. I bought the one pair. No I'm not going to lose anymore weight...this is me at my goal plus or minus 1 kilo.

I don't love the fit of the red jacket and the style looks a little too 90s to me but the other two look great, the black pants, and yes no problem the looser sweater with the looser pants.
You have a really good eye for what suits your body type and hairstyle.

I like 6,7,8. I love those slouchy pants. To me, they look completely stylish, especially with a little ankle showing. The grey top is nice with the drop sleeve. I can picture this with a leather jacket.

I dont love any of the jackets on you. They seem to have a little too much structure.

My thoughts are the same as Smittie's on the jackets. I love the less structured looks of 6, 7, and 8 on you. I also like the pants in 1 and 2.

Thanks everyone will get pants and sweats but pass on jackets. My black jacket I've been wearing at size 16 is way too big for me. I'm a nz size 12 and now I'm looking for a replacement. Will keep looking.

I like #6 and #7 best.

Thanks Angie. I got both the tops in 6 and 7 and the pants as well as the pants in the other post. Also found a black jacket to replace my too big one. I may not wear with the pants though. Thank goodness for YLF....it's like having your BFF along shopping but one with style cred!

It's easier for me to say what I don't think is hot - the red and grey. The others I find very pleasing.

Sally

Thanks Maneera and Rachylou. Yeah I need more slip on sneakers. I'm also going to try with lace up ankle boots

I love the pants you already bought. I'm a big fan of looks 6-8 and also like the purple coat. Although the sleeves might be a little short?

I also like 6-8 best. Congratulations on reaching your weight goal.
