I really like the texture on the shirt, which almost mirrors the leopard pattern on the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542720 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 18:18:28 +0000 Alassë 1542720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great combinations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542703 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 17:47:56 +0000 Maneera 1542703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cheryle. I do have dark grey tops....I don't have soft greys! So I'll try grey as well tomorrow. </p> <p>I'll try the cobalt too, Celia. Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542694 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 17:36:48 +0000 celia 1542694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, so many ideas for my burgundy jeans :)<br /> #2 and #6 are my favorites, although I understand the blush issue, it is something difficult to find the right shade of blush for you.<br /> I echo what others said about cobalt. While I was shopping for mine I just happened to be wearing my cobalt blouse and really enjoyed the two colors together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542680 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 17:05:21 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1542680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape and detail on #2 but not as much the color.&nbsp; I love white on you and find it very crisp against the burgundy.&nbsp; I&nbsp; love #5 with the scarf.&nbsp; It feels almost reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn in her skinnies.&nbsp; </p> <p>Have you tried grey?&nbsp; I find grey hard to work with but a dark charcoal or graphite can work well on a winter and it is one of my favorite neutrals with burgundy.&nbsp; I will look for&nbsp;a picture when I am home later.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542671 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:50:44 +0000 Maneera 1542671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it, Joy? It's the reason I wear these jeans with only blacks....and mostly in winter. The natural pairing for burgundy is with lighter, earthy colours. And those colours wash me out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542666 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:46:41 +0000 Anonymous 1542666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On you I like 7 best, the fit and lower contrast color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542660 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:31:36 +0000 Maneera 1542660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an awesome analysis, Melinda. I could not have written that better myself!!!! </p> <p>My weather doesn't allow for toppers in summer. Nothing but denim vest! This is why I have never been keen on trying the jeans out in summer. You're the one who decoded my colouring to be Deep Winter. So to answer your question.....yes, top 1&amp;2 are the wrong color on me but probably the right colours for the jeans. I am weary of light colours from brown/beige family on the top because they emphasise my bust...just like you pointed out. </p> <p>I do love the idea of blues, tunics and chambray style shirts. I'm going to try those ideas tomorrow. Thanks again for the detailed reply...you make excellent points that are all very helpful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542656 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:25:05 +0000 Melinda SF 1542656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo what many say here so I'll strive to add some additional thoughts.&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>#1 works fine with burgundy, but on you it would be better with a cardigan, jacket or other topper, maybe olive or other neutral, or even a contrasting color. A denim shirt even?! &nbsp;a long necklace could also work . The color washes you out(is it the photo? hard to tell). &nbsp;</li> <li>I like #6 for many reasons but definitely needs something around your face like a bib necklace, some gorgeous earrings, etc. &nbsp;</li> <li>The leopard flats are a no brainer</li> <li>#2 is my fave</li> <li>I'd love to see you try a slightly longer style, not too long, maybe in olive or your favorite shade of blue, with 3/4 sleeves. This is because to me these burgundy jeans are reading as a skinny/slim cut and surrendering your waist can be a fun thing to try given that you have curves. &nbsp;This is why #1 is harder, it's making your legs disappear while pushing the bustline forward. &nbsp; this is where the topper I mention above can also help. a buttoned up denim shirt is another example. You can wear a heel with that to lengthen the leg.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <br />Hope this helps.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542651 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:09:56 +0000 Suz 1542651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all! But 1, 2 (perhaps with Diane's caveat-- a cooler blush might work better on you), 5 and 6 are my favourites. You can absolutely treat burgundy as a neutral and with your dark hair you have automatic outfit cohesion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542637 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 15:19:48 +0000 Maneera 1542637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie</p> <p>Di, I think I may need a new scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542628 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 15:04:22 +0000 Angie 1542628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good options here, Maneera. </p> <p>I like #2, #6 and #7 best. #2 and #6 because of the ease of the cut of the tops, and #7 because the tighter silhouette of the top is low contrast against the jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542627 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 15:01:58 +0000 Anonymous 1542627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, so maybe my screen wasn't lying? A scarf would certainly help if&nbsp;it had a bit of burgundy in it for sure. It's a great way of wearing your good colours near you face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542619 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 14:57:38 +0000 Maneera 1542619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane...you're right. That top is NOT a good colour for me. That's precisely why I haven't worn it with these jeans before. I retrieved the top today from my 'donate' pile. While I like the top...I am not sure how to wear it. Maybe buy a burgundy scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542612 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 14:51:46 +0000 Anonymous 1542612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've got some great options for pairing with burgundy! My favourite is the white floaty top in#6 and I'm liking the stripes for a touch more casual too. I do like the light shade in #2, but is the blush tone 'icy' enough in tone for your cooler Winter colouring? It could just be my laptop screen of course as I'm seeing it as a warm blush.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542607 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 14:41:36 +0000 Maneera 1542607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! This outfit lab is eye-opening! To my mind, NONE of these worked. #2 was a bit ok....but I wasn't sure at all. </p> <p>I'm so glad to know I can treat these jeans like neutrals for my wardrobe! How cool is that?! That means I can wear them in so many different ways! *clapping hands* Brilliant!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542596 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 13:57:02 +0000 Sara L. 1542596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had burgundy jeans until recently (they got a little too tight so I got rid of them).&nbsp; I thought they were&nbsp;versatile and went with most neutrals and blues.&nbsp; All of these are good options with #2 being my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542593 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 13:49:05 +0000 Jenn 1542593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all works!

I love the pairing in #2. Least fav is paired with the black top, but it still works (just my personal preference). Otherwise they all work to me. Super versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542587 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 13:38:06 +0000 Pree 1542587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great.&nbsp; Blush in 2 and white in 6 are my favorites with #5 with stripes and scarf up there also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-jeans-outfit-lab#post-1542570 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 12:17:13 +0000 Mona 1542570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tops in #2 and 3 the best.

I had an hour to kill this afternoon and thought I'd try some of the options. </p> <p>I am wearing these jeans after a while and noticed they had stretched out at the waist. They need to be washed....there is whiskering at the crotch because I suppose they are too stretchy. I still went ahead with trying some options. Let me know if any of these work. My go to option has been a black crossover top or a black drapey knit that has gold detailing on the shoulders. Both of those work....so I'm not wearing them here. </p> <p>Shedev and Beth Ann, I'll try cobalt and navy next. Those are the colours I have in abundance! Thank you for your suggestions. </p> <p>But for now, are any of these tops working? I got lazy and didn't bother changing shoes to match the outfit over and over. I'm wearing the same 2 pairs of flat shoes in all pictures - leopard print pointed toe flats and black square toe flat shoes. I can change shoes and add accessories.....for now I just want to understand what colours work with burgundy ON ME and for these pair of jeans. </p> <p>Thanks for all your inputs in advance. </p>
