The fit and drape is lovely on you and they look wonderfully versatile to style as well. Such a good wardrobe item for the heat! (and yes, we are back to hot weather as well, I've been in shorts when not having to dress for a work meeting this week) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2414085 Fri, 29 May 2026 11:56:14 +0000 Janet 2414085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gauzy pants are such a win in the heat! You look cool and comfortable. We have just come out of a full week of rain and dreariness and yesterday was brilliant and the best of summer — high temps around 78 with low humidity and a good breeze (the sailboat people here were surely thrilled!). We will be slowly moving back into our usual sticky summer sadness soon enough, so I have my easy gauze pieces ready! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2414079 Fri, 29 May 2026 10:45:50 +0000 Dee 2414079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol- Thanks, hope your new green linen pants will serve you well .<br /> ROBINF- So happy the heat is back, now I can finally wear my sandals again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413929 Wed, 27 May 2026 13:42:13 +0000 Carol 2413929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been feeling the heat for months already. Looks like great pants. I wisely thrifted a pair of mud green linen ones like this, recently. I love the first photo--there is something so put together and elegant about a breezy top and bottom together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413927 Wed, 27 May 2026 13:26:23 +0000 Dee 2413927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your kind feedback.<br /> ROBERTA- you’ve got a good point about how black &amp; white might look a bit crisper in the heat.<br /> BJ111- No real issues for laundry, wash delicate and hang to dry. White top is 100% cotton, pants are a 55% viscose 45% cotton blend.<br /> SUZ- I agree that wrinkles are less apparent with this gauzy fabric and when the colour is darker.<br /> SAL - I love the staying power of my classics, thanks for your lovely compliment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413917 Wed, 27 May 2026 12:31:56 +0000 RobinF 2413917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look like great pants! Gotta love easy breezy in the summer. I like both of these and the sandals look good with the pants.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413913 Wed, 27 May 2026 09:49:14 +0000 Sisi 2413913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous! I have a weakness for gauzy materials and the shirt and pants look perfect for these temperatures. It is Summery hot also here (34 deg C in the middle of the day), they say it won't last but, like you, I enjoy it while I can. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413894 Tue, 26 May 2026 23:22:46 +0000 Jaime 2413894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic crops that suit you beautifully! Great hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413886 Tue, 26 May 2026 23:09:25 +0000 Roberta 2413886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and white keeps you looking crisp even when it is muggy. We've had a few warm days in Chicagoland, and I've been inventorying (is that a word?) my linen tops and pants. I have a gracious plenty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413874 Tue, 26 May 2026 21:53:04 +0000 bj1111 2413874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weather can’t keep you down. </p> <p>How does the gauzy fabric perform in the wash? Would love to twin—I am a little leery of gauze that shrinks or otherwise twists </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413871 Tue, 26 May 2026 20:58:03 +0000 Suz 2413871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, Dee! I love that cotton gauze material -- brilliant in the heat, as you say -- and hides any wrinkles, too. That was obviously a smart purchase. I like both outfits equally. You look effortlessly chic!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am still sad about the Bay, too. Sigh....</p> <p>Today we have something verging on <b>chill</b> here. The weather continues to be up and down. But I know the heat is coming.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413869 Tue, 26 May 2026 20:14:21 +0000 Sal 2413869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a natural chic style Dee and look great in these easy casual looks. The balance between being classic and modern is not always easy but you get it right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413867 Tue, 26 May 2026 20:10:25 +0000 Dee 2413867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>STAR( LISE) - Yes, the sudden change in weather is like rediscovering your closet all over again.<br /> SLIMCAT- I can imagine that long hot summers eventually lose their appeal.<br /> KKards- Thanks, black and white is definitely an easy combo to work with.<br /> ANGIE- Thank you and yep, wide-legs are an easy go-to for me. My hair in # 2 is feeling the humidity lol.<br /> LJP- I'm also still sad about The Bay being gone. Some tacky liquidation company has taken over the old Bay nearby. Not impressed at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413863 Tue, 26 May 2026 18:17:01 +0000 LJP 2413863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah the good old days with the Bay . Sigh . I love a pant like that that works for all situations . The heat is here as of today and forecasted to be in the low 30’s for at least a week . My husband launched the opening volley in our annual summer air conditioning battle . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413862 Tue, 26 May 2026 18:16:50 +0000 Angie 2413862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you post again, <b>Dee</b>! Looking super cute, super relaxed &nbsp;and summery! Like both looks equally. And your wavy bixie is particularly pretty and elegant in pic #2.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look KILLER in pants that are wide, high rise, and defined at the waist! YOUR silhouette ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413857 Tue, 26 May 2026 16:33:40 +0000 kkards 2413857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>black and white for the win<br />love the easy of these pants, and they look great in both outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413856 Tue, 26 May 2026 16:19:50 +0000 slim cat 2413856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect summer outfit! Love the striped tee and cropped pants especially!<br />We are in between temperature wise - low 70s until next week. I'm usually happy to have cooler spring/beginning of summer since our summer is very long and often hot. Enjoy the heat ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413855 Tue, 26 May 2026 16:19:48 +0000 Star (Lise) 2413855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I particularly like the striped tie tee outfit. Very fab. Yes summer seems to have started here. It is still bearable. Now I am in the throws of trying to figure out what works clothes wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breezy-black-and-white#post-2413854 Tue, 26 May 2026 16:08:26 +0000 Dee 2413854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The heat is back on and these gauzy wide-leg black crops are so comfy and easy to wear when it gets hot and humid. They were bought at The Bay just before Covid. Drawstring elastic waist and it even has pockets.</p> <p>Kept things pretty simple with an equally breezy white gauze button-up top, then went a bit bolder with a black &amp; white stripe tie-waist tee.</p> <p>The heat isn't going to last but I'm enjoying it while I can.<br /> Anyone else feeling the heat? </p>
