Cheeky with a nice dose of self-aware, slightly mocking humor. I especially like the line about the fashionable onion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264629 Fri, 30 May 2014 03:26:05 +0000 Anonymous 1264629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. Those were fun. I am totally going to do the coat/cape thing this summer&nbsp;<i>indoors</i>, where it's freezing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264624 Fri, 30 May 2014 03:10:00 +0000 catgirl 1264624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great! Sometimes the advice is so offensive and all about looking as thin and "perfect" as possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264616 Fri, 30 May 2014 03:01:45 +0000 cciele 1264616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice little slide show, writing aside! I also think most are on point, but agree about the label/Chanel thing. And I really don't see the coat-cape thing around where I live, but I've seen it appear quite a bit in the fashion blogger world. Will have to try it out </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: I peeked at the companion piece, 20 Fashion Rules You Should Resolve to Break, and I really like #11:</p> <p>11. You should dress for your body type.&nbsp;Nope. Nope. Nope. You should wear things you like and that fit you.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/fashion-for-every-body">Your body is not a problem that needs to be solved through strategic dressing.</a>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264603 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:45:41 +0000 Jaime 1264603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hats and tucks and shoes, oh my!

Given that I'm super clumsy, jacket-as-cape just won't work for me! However, lots of great points there! The layering bit especially resonates with me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264590 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:38:28 +0000 Alassë 1264590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Peri. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264559 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:05:00 +0000 Peri 1264559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, my shoes feel really wrong...I must be doing <b>great!!</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264550 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:59:37 +0000 Angie 1264550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought it was good. Nice article. Hits some very key points.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have narrow shoulders - and my coats and jackets drape over me "cape style" just fine. I wear that look a lot, and have done so for 20 years. I saw my late Mum do it - so I did it too. I don't do it to look fashion-y and "cool". <i>I do it because it's practical.</i> I wear a coat outside, but it can get warm indoors when I&nbsp;shop with clients. So I drape my coat&nbsp;over my shoulders so that I'm cooler and hands-free. I also drape my coat in-between shops when I'm out and about. If you've shopped with me you'll know that I move fast - so I get warm (thankfully). The concept&nbsp;makes perfect sense to me.&nbsp; </p> <p>There is no way&nbsp;I would drape my coat for show. If I'm cold - I put my coat on properly. I loathe feeling cold.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264517 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:30:39 +0000 Parsley 1264517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's some truth in a lot&nbsp;of those, even if it is a little cheesy.<br />The whole idea of just mixing things up and wearing something unexpected is pretty valid. <br />I don't buy the whole "coat as a cape" thing, although I guess it does make people look like fashionistas- just not in a good way, IMO.<br />Thanks for a fun read!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264510 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:25:34 +0000 Diana 1264510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so I always thought the jacket-as-cape thing was highly impractical but I actually did it a couple of times when I was in England because I was cold but didn't want to take off my bag and put on my jacket for a short jaunt down the street or something. And surpringly the coat stayed on really well. I think it's just that my particular trench has shoulder pads so they actually stay in place. I wouldn't wear it that way if I was going to be wearing it for a long time or jumping around or whatever, but it worked amazingly well. </p> <p>Fascinators rule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264509 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:23:14 +0000 catgirl 1264509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, I paid no attention to stupid writing - just the looks themselves.&nbsp; I mean, it's MSN *eyeroll*</p> <p>ove the chunky shoes with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264505 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:20:56 +0000 Aida 1264505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's framed as a very "buck the rules" thing,&nbsp;with a good dose of&nbsp;bite. Half the time I couldn't tell if they were being dry or scornful ;)&nbsp;I dunno about the draped coat, that's not practical enough for me. I know I have the shoulders to make the coat stay put, but I think I'd still drop it. I mean, I drop my coat when I'm holding it in my arms! They do make for pretty pictures, I suppose.&nbsp;I did enjoy this quote about layering though: "You're an onion. A fashionable onion." And also the more&nbsp;graciously termed&nbsp;semi-tuck as we&nbsp;call it here&nbsp;called the "half-assed tuck job" because, really, that's what it is isn't it? ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-10-ways-to-look-more-fashionable#post-1264503 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:19:46 +0000 lyn* 1264503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a single Chanel flat lying in the gutter today on my commute home.
