A little too ruffle-y on the collar. Not bad though. Not fashionable, but certainly not a faux pas. If you love it - wear it.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373832 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 13:51:02 +0000 Peri 1373832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The verdict is in...not fashion forward but still in style enough to be okay.</p> <p>Hey, that's all I aspire to!! Good enough for me, I will keep wearing mine until I find a newer style I can't live without! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373723 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 04:11:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1373723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the soft drapes on yours, Peri. There was one featured in NAS this year that made Angie's picks. So I don't think they're out of style. (What Aida says.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373694 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 03:30:04 +0000 janni 1373694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not on trend in and of themselves, but I think could be a part of a great outfit. I really like the look of yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373686 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 03:21:51 +0000 Michelle 1373686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this thread! You've reminded me that I have a purple ombre cascading cardigan in my closet. I loved it two or three years ago, and perhaps it's time to break it out again.<br />&nbsp;:) <br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373666 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 02:58:45 +0000 Carole 1373666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope not, I just bought another. I think wearing them with skinny bottoms and great accessories will help keep the look current. I just love the versatility and comfort and the silhouette with skinny or straight bottoms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373662 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 02:56:42 +0000 Anonymous 1373662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <i>hope</i> they're not, since&nbsp;I have a few and really like the shape.</p> <p>I have a feeling Aida's take is probably about right, so I'll keep wearing the ones I have but maybe lean toward other styles for new cardigan purchases.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373648 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 02:41:22 +0000 thimblelina 1373648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say yes to Aida's verdict... And you need to decide if this is on your personal classics list. I have some personal classics: Bettye muller winkle picker sling backs with the long exaggerated toe; bronze flatforms I bought just under the wall in Lucca; a beautiful sueded mermaid midi skirt in a color I love... I might push those things to the back of my closet for a few years but this ain't my first rodeo &amp; I know they are likely to cycle back. But this approach really only works for pieces that are terrific quality and are truly beloved. I want to keep up with trends and silhouettes, but there is a small contrary streak that doesn't like to look cookie cutter 'current' day in and day out. Every now and again I enjoy busting out something old with some good memories and a little patina. I think your cardi looks like a nice example of that genre. Maybe it's just a lounge sweater or an office sweater this year if you still enjoy it. I have a snug black cashmere cardigan that is in a similar limbo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373616 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 01:44:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1373616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find them a good shape for my shape, so will continue to wear them. </p> <p>And I like yours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373604 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 01:34:06 +0000 catgirl 1373604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still wear them, on trend or not.&nbsp; They are useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373574 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:50:52 +0000 Aida 1373574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote not dated but not fashion forward, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373568 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:46:12 +0000 Anonymous 1373568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the fence with these. I have one in my closet I haven't worn in a couple of years now, and every time I consider wearing it and put it on, I take it off again. &nbsp;They are in pretty much every store and at every price range now except for high-end and designer, which suggests it's not a fashion forward look anymore. &nbsp;Now that I've typed this, I think I am going to put mine into the donate bag :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373561 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:34:53 +0000 Mermaid 1373561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my humble opinion, they do not look dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373533 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 23:49:34 +0000 Sal 1373533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are fine to wear. Often I wear mine as I add a layer as the day cools. I like this one actually, a nice length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373513 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 22:58:12 +0000 Peri 1373513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm....I didn't consider at all what I put it on with for the picture, just wanted to show it! It is still mid-80s here, no cardigans in sight!</p> <p>I do tend to put it on over anything though, later in the Fall if I'm chilly. I don't really think of it as an important part of an outfit, just as a bit of warmth when needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373507 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 22:47:16 +0000 Deborah 1373507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There seems to be a lot of variations on the waterfall style cardigan. Some earlier versions can IMHO look a tad frumpy bit generally I think they look great. I like yours. I think you need to consider the overall outfit not just the cardigan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373502 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 22:44:22 +0000 Kristin L 1373502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they're dated yet either. I think it depends on what it's worn with.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373501 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 22:41:19 +0000 Mellllls 1373501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they are dated yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373496 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 22:32:02 +0000 Peri 1373496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Thistle, I had forgotten that post! The CM Callie wrap looks great, wish it wasn't wool. I need cotton to get much use out of it. The hunt begins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373455 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 21:43:50 +0000 Thistle 1373455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I reread Nagie's post today and the link to current cardis.</p> <p>Waterfall are not on the list per se. Tunic length with some volume. Art flounces that drape like a waterfall. </p> <p>I would check out today's post and the link to current styles.</p> <p>I would keep the one you have, though, until you find the right replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373452 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 21:39:31 +0000 Thistle 1373452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I thought waterfall ones were on trend again as part of the oversized look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-waterfall-cardigans-too-dated-pic#post-1373449 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 21:33:19 +0000 Peri 1373449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They aren't trendy, but they are still showing up in a lot of stores. Not even dated type stores...saw ones today in Loft and in Saks.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been thinking it was time to replace mine but I'm not sure...it is so useful. I'm not sure I like the look of the long "boyfriend's grandpa" ones! I might like the cocoon type if I could find the right one.&nbsp;</p> <p>So...rulings on mine, and suggestions for its replacement are welcome! </p>
