I love the jeans on you, but I hear you on the catching-on-the-tops of boots issue--annoying! But they do look really good :). I love the white windowpane check flannel shirt, your new patterned v-neck looks smashing, and your long grey cardigan suits you beautifully. I share your love for merino and patterned knitwear! Your haircut looks immaculate and chic to me, but I commiserate re. the hairdresser kind of doing their own thing rather than exactly what you want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater/page/2#post-2240403 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 13:00:19 +0000 lyn67 2240403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything in these picties, including hair-which is WOW, LOVE it textured to so piecey- but I can never&nbsp; achieve this look for myself. Think is in the cut and that you have a very dense hair&nbsp; which can be texturised&nbsp; easy in 3D.&nbsp;<br />You mastered the layering with a long cardigan look, love the new flanel and sweater they are so different-and do a great job with the new jeans-which I find íhere good enough&nbsp; but I too hold on some styles which worked so well in the past and am very critical with new cuts-even a few cm can change all the silhouette we are after. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater/page/2#post-2240270 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 17:04:19 +0000 Katerina 2240270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look sensational in all these outfits. They are soo good! I really like the jeans on you - I think the length is perfect. And the flannel shirt - just WOW! Stunning gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240267 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 16:48:12 +0000 Suz 2240267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Indigoprint,</b> yes, I do that, too, with pants that taper a bit. With pants that are straight the cuff rarely stays up on me, alas!&nbsp;</p> <p>It's interesting that some people see these are a boot cut or flare -- they are not. They're straight. But this is the fit issue for me. It's because straights always fit snugger on the thigh on me than they are meant to fit or fit on anyone with slimmer legs -- so that in turn can make&nbsp; the bottom look either flared out (as here, because these are short). The pant, in effect, can't <b>go</b> straight because of my curves, LOL!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Carla,</b> makes sense you'd be into a lighter coloured flannel, too. It brightens things a bit! Sorry about the snow. Although that brightens things, too!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, flannel can indeed be sticky. I tend to use cardigans if I want to layer over -- or jackets with smooth lining.&nbsp;</p> <p>My verdict on the jeans after a day's wear -- they stretched out just enough (but not too much for me), they are comfy, but the length is a bit uncomfortable. They'll be fine with sneakers and higher shafted boots, but they "catch" on the tops of many booties, even the ones I am wearing in the photos. Not my faves. But useful for the time being as I continue my search. I was down to boot cuts and BFs&nbsp; and one pair of wide legs, and one pair of light coloured cigarette jeans which are more like slim straight on me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240225 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 13:30:19 +0000 Indigoprint 2240225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;You look Fab! Crops are hard for me. It's hard to get past the teasing of "high waters" from high school. But I wear them quite a bit now . Your fit looks as good and intentional as your reference photos.&nbsp; Sometimes with a crop I will roll up the bottom just a hems width. It does not really affect the length but sometimes reels in the bottom width a bit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240197 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 05:02:07 +0000 Carla 2240197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm… I’m feeling lighter coloured flannel myself this season, and have two new button downs getting a lot of wear (see finds). &nbsp;I really like your winter white version and how you’ve styled it. &nbsp;Jeans look fine. &nbsp;Nice outfits with the new tops. &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>Sorry about your rain. &nbsp;We are getting snow in my part of the world (and your old stomping grounds). &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240195 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 04:44:45 +0000 Anonymous 2240195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks amazing on you. &nbsp;I have been enjoying some flannel shirts for the fit store time ever. &nbsp;Now I want a white one like yours. &nbsp;Today I am wearing a black and white shirt under a plaid sweatshirt of black, white and red. &nbsp;The sweatshirt does not really fit smoothly over the flannel shirt. &nbsp;Maybe I need a smaller flannel shirt or a larger sweatshirt? &nbsp;It is a little cool today for the flannel under a sweatshirt, but not too bad. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240185 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 02:49:03 +0000 Bijou 2240185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like The Cat, I cannot get over your white shirt, stunning on you!

I really like this jeans silhouette on you. It's a nice change and you wear it well. I have some jeans like this, and they took some getting used to. My favorite way to wear them is as you are here, with a fairly close fitting bootie that closes the gap. (I empathize and chuckled at needing flood pants but not wanting them to look like flood pants!) Great find on the sweater. And the refined flannel shirt is lovely, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240136 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 22:30:20 +0000 Anonymous 2240136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usethat same Kevin Murphy paste but I swear one extra microgram in my hair turns it into a gluey mess .

I prefer a narrow-ish cropped length, rather than flared, but I understand we all have our own specific likes. The length looks good — short enough to be deliberate but not too short, which is my problem with a lot of crops. </p> <p>That sweater is great, as is your layering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240130 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:59:18 +0000 Suz 2240130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b>, I think it was still a bit wet, LOL!!&nbsp;</p> <p>But I do use stuff -- often Kevin Murphy Rough Rider (which I need because most creams and pastes don't give me any hold) and sometimes also a kind of gloss.&nbsp;</p> <p>He gave me a very textured cut this last time and the sides are super short, a bit masculine for my taste, but whatever. It's almost grown out to the next cut stage now.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240127 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:57:08 +0000 RobinF 2240127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the piecey-ness of your hair, when mine was short it always wanted to lay smooth but that isn't what I wanted!</p> <p>Great looks, I quite like the jeans.

I'm pendantic about jeans shape on myself! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway. I cut the tags and am wearing. They are not my "dream jean" but they will certainly help out during the wet season. I was in serious need of options!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240089 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 19:01:52 +0000 cjh 2240089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not sure how anyone could suggest improvements to these combos!

Your preferences make a lot of sense.&nbsp;</p> <p>ALSO sticking up for this straight silhouette that I think is flattering too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240081 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:38:14 +0000 Suz 2240081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thank you all. I will say, the hair looks better in photos than IRL. I wasn't happy with the last job my Victoria guy did and am going to Vancouver for the next cut. I miss my old stylist there!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, the type of tapered jean I like best on myself is not a skinny, but a slim straight with a very slight taper (like a cigarette pant or some "mom" jeans) or a baggier silhouette (like a BF). I find those the most flattering and easy to wear for my body. </p> <p>Boot cuts&nbsp; also work well but at full length, they are useless in the rain. Cropped wide leg jeans are okay (as are cropped trousers) and full length wide legs are also good in a drapey fabric (not in denim).&nbsp;</p> <p>Straight leg jeans have traditionally been a bit trickier for me in all lengths. Often they are cut too. narrow in the thigh for me. And if they are loose enough in the thigh, they are too floppy/ loose in the bottom. A straight leg <b>trouser </b>can work well in the right fabrication. But even then, I tend to like a very slightly tapered tailored trouser. Not a skinny.</p> <p>Lord &amp; Taylor is no more, <b>LIsa,</b> so that's why the Bay doesn't have much stuff. They were just selling off whatever hadn't sold and I lucked into this piece and one other.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the BR shirt -- it's a great winter addition. Years ago I had a Zara flannel shirt that was similar but this is nicer quality.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240077 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:27:11 +0000 Angie 2240077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In short - KILLER gorgeous all round the signature <b>Suz</b>-way! And rocking it :)</p> <p>Look at the fab V-neck! Isn't it a fab flannel shirt, and very reasonable.</p> <p>NOT FLOOD PANTS. Length looks on point, as does your styling! I prefer these straights on you rather than tighter tapered styles - if that is what you mean? Or do you mean baggy styles with tapered hems look better?&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE your hair too! It looks so neat and sharp compared to mine right now since I'm growing it out. I can enjoy my ex-cut on you! Scarf is SUBLIME with your silver tresses!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-jeans-br-flannel-shirt-new-merino-sweater#post-2240069 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:13:33 +0000 CarolS 2240069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look great on you Suz -- I think the cut flatters and the length looks deliberate. The white flannel shirt and leopard print sweater are wonderful additions for you. The last L&amp;T sweaters at my local Bay store were very tired looking indeed. I'm glad you found some winners. </p>
