I like the slouchy cardi.</p> <p>If you can't find a racerback bra, you might be able to find a bra converter. I think that there are ones that you can use to pull the bra straps in closer on your chest, so that the straps aren't placed so far apart on your shoulders. You could also perhaps look for a convertible bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2194181 Tue, 11 May 2021 02:26:04 +0000 Flytigress 2194181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been really happy with this racerback bra, the first I've ever really liked:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.shopbop.com/future-foundation-lace-front-close/vp/v=1/1577895410.htm?fm=search-viewall-shopbysize&amp;os=false&amp;searchClick=true&amp;searchResultClicked=Future+Foundation+Front+Close+Racerback+Bra&amp;ref_=SB_PLP_NB_1&amp;breadcrumb=Internal%20Search">https://www.shopbop.com/future.....-viewall-s</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2194171 Tue, 11 May 2021 00:58:45 +0000 Jonesy 2194171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the tanks on you!

I hope you go back for the cardigan. </p> <p>I have been getting into this look myself and the cardi I got is quite slouchy. Loft is another good source for the tanks, I purchased the one in Finds in magenta to wear with olive bottoms, but will likely go back for white and black. They are quite affordable when they run a promo, which is often. I went with the bigger of my two sizes (S vs XS), and it is fitted without being tight. I like that even in the bigger size, the armhole is quite tailored and not low. They do require a racer back bra rough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193936 Sun, 09 May 2021 23:26:55 +0000 LaPed 2193936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I kind of love the slouchiness of the cardi, but I'd be curious to see you in a more fitted/structured take on this style -- something like the Everlane Texture Cardigan (which did come in black, though I have no idea what's in stock currently). The tank looks great on you, as do the jeans! I'm an older millennial who's never managed to drink the skinny kool-aid. I'm so excited there are finally other options. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193876 Sun, 09 May 2021 17:42:04 +0000 Angie 2193876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER cutaway tanks! Fab juxtaposition with the roomy cardigan. Very '90s </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193867 Sun, 09 May 2021 17:23:17 +0000 Greyscale 2193867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I do think yours suits you better than this does me. Especially with those perfect jeans you styled it with. Maybe I could make this work with my slimmer fit gray jeans and a light tank. Anyway yours is a great look all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193844 Sun, 09 May 2021 15:45:03 +0000 slim cat 2193844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look with tank-tops and your fun jeans ( the fit is awesome! ).<br />Cardigan works well with your all black look but I wonder if you "love" it - I could not make that style work for me, got instead linen BR cardigan last summer in black ( slimmer/longer a bit ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193842 Sun, 09 May 2021 15:40:39 +0000 Style Fan 2193842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the review.&nbsp; I am looking for a cardigan like this. However, I am not sure how I would look in the dropped shoulders.&nbsp; I tend to do better in structured garments.<br />I like both tanks on you.&nbsp; The cardigan looks great with the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193841 Sun, 09 May 2021 15:40:29 +0000 smittie 2193841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do they have this style at everlane? I would try them first, just because I think the cotton will be more reliable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193836 Sun, 09 May 2021 15:22:41 +0000 Anonymous 2193836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well both the tank and cardigan look a whole heck of a lot better on you than me - and just highlights how much better these tanks work on smaller amd higher breasted women . Ah the realities of aging . I found a really nice racer back bra on Amazon a few weeks ago - from one of the usual big brands . I would never wear this kind of tank without something over it now anyways so I think I’m keeping what I bought . I think the off white looks great on you - for whatever it’s worth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193831 Sun, 09 May 2021 14:37:39 +0000 Irina 2193831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Greyscale,&nbsp;</b>thank you very much for the review of the BR cardigan. This is the color I had in mind and it looks great IRL. Seeing it on you and Lisa p helped me to decide on the size. I ordered it today, so fingers crossed. If it fits, it would be my “cottagecore” cardigan that I’ve looking for the last year </p> <p>I like the fit of the cardigan on you - slouchy as intended. I would probably suggest even to size up for comparison. You have hight and strong shoulders to pull of more oversized look that is popular with chunky cardigans. But it seems that you are not into this color. Does Everlane have a black one?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193811 Sun, 09 May 2021 11:43:35 +0000 Brooklyn 2193811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cutaway tanks are great on you. I stocked up on these last summer. They were everywhere, so don’t settle if you don’t like the fit because more are likely to appear. I prefer the versions with more coverage (so you can get away with wearing a normal bra and there’s not too much, ahem, side of chest action). I wished I’d waited on the Jag version below, because within a month other retailers had the same colour in a version with a bit more coverage. Might not be available where you are but the Neuw Jonesy singlet below is (in my view) the Queen of cutaway tops. Very substantial cotton. Not too bare. Yummy selection of colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193800 Sun, 09 May 2021 09:59:51 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2193800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cardi on you, and the Madewell tank is great. Good luck finding racer back bras—I’ve been searching, to no avail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193795 Sun, 09 May 2021 09:20:30 +0000 Bijou 2193795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ribbed tank is superb on you, definitely worth buying a bra to wear with it! The chunky cardigan makes for a nice change up from jackets and blazers. Nice to see this in your palette and with your fab jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193792 Sun, 09 May 2021 08:37:46 +0000 Liesbeth 2193792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tanks look great! About the cardigan: those trending dropped shoulders are a look you need to be into, it IS slouchy. I have ONE myself and it's a pretty structured one for this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-chunky-cardigan-and-cutaway-tanks#post-2193784 Sun, 09 May 2021 06:48:08 +0000 Greyscale 2193784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on a quest for a chunky cotton cardigan to pair with a high-neck cutaway 90s tank top. And, turns out <b>Lisa P</b> found the perfect ones at Banana Republic! I had my eyes on that same sweater and tank, and&nbsp;<b>notsaf&nbsp;</b>had a whole thread about it too. Reporting in with some try-on notes.</p> <p>My Saturday dance class -- all of us vaccinated -- is close to the fancy outdoor mall in Walnut Creek, which I've never visited! So, since I had to drive all the way out there anyway, I thought I'd stop by the Banana Republic and check out the sweater.</p> <p>So, it looks fantastic on Lisa P, especially in the terra cotta color she chose. I was looking at the natural/white one, and it's a little less awesome on me. The natural is a nice rich creamy color, really gorgeous, but even after adding some white tops to my black wardrobe this year, I'm just not ready for this much white! Not the sweater's fault... I would have bought it in black, for sure. </p> <p>Anyway, I didn't buy it (yet). It's really nice, though. I like the chunky knit. Loose but substantial. It's maybe a little warm for me (I run hot, and it was 90 degrees there today).</p> <p>Sizing wise, this is probably the right size (XS), but I feel a little shapeless in it. Maybe because it's paired with my ginormous "gen Z" jeans that still need to be hemmed.</p> <p>(Have we discussed the silly TikTok gen Z vs millennials jeans conflict? I'm nominally gen X, so I can ignore it and be happy that the jeans of my teen years are back.)</p> <p>The tank tops of my teen years are back, too. I already own the Banana Republic cutaway rib tank that a few of you have, in both black and white. It's more fitted than my usual (light knit with a lot of spandex, so it clings).&nbsp;It fits well but I was curious to try one size up for less vavavoom, just like Lisa said. Especially for the white one that's a little sheer. Alas, like others have reported, the armholes weren't quite right when I sized up. The photo shows the one I already own and wore to the store (black XS) -- I didn't take photos of the S.</p> <p>Instead, I went next door to Madewell and discovered that their Brightside ribbed tank is a similar style but more substantial, looser, and less stretchy. It's cut pretty straight, which caused some gaping around the armhole, but overall it fit well and with a more relaxed look. I bought one in black (XS). I also tried the cream color, which is much creamier, almost yellow, in person. The photo looks like the off-white I was hoping for. Do I trust my eyes or my camera?</p> <p>(If I'm going to wear these tanks I need to get some neutral racerback bras!)</p> <p>Photos<br />1,2: Banana Republic cardigan<br />3: Banana Republic ribbed tank<br />4: Madewell ribbed tank</p>
