A lot of options are either too dressy or too basic (don’t want a layering tee, something with a bit more detail or flair would be nice). Solid color. I have a lot of prints. </p> <p>That Tahari is gorgeous but it’s the kind of dressy piece I don’t need more of! I like this one below too. </p> <p>Onward! I do have a burgundy moto that I still like, so if nothing else, maybe that will enjoy some extra wear this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370259 Wed, 18 Sep 2024 11:21:37 +0000 Helena 2370259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here to commiserate Janet ... The promise has not met the reality so far this season colour wise, at least that I'm seeing. I'm hoping it's because it's early days!! The v-neck you showed is beautiful, if it was a cotton or viscose rather than cashmere I'd be all over it. Good luck with the hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370235 Tue, 17 Sep 2024 19:44:03 +0000 Suz 2370235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, <b>cat2</b> -- so many beautiful jewel tones on Elie Tahari. <b>Janet,</b> I seem to remember that we both bought something in Boston from that brand.

Unfortunately, Canadian companies have lots to offer, particularly in burgundy, such as RW&amp;Co, or The Bay, but they don't ship to the U.S.</p> <p><b>Old Navy</b>&nbsp;currently has lots of different things in burgundy: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/search.do?searchText=burgundy#department=Women">https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse.....ment=Women</a>, although the quality is not as good, but I do like their short-sleeved and long sleeved t-shirts because they are not as thick and they're great for layering.<br /><b>Uniqlo</b> has this gorgeous forest green sweater that I might buy for myself:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.uniqlo.com/ca/en/products/E465736-000?colorCode=COL58&amp;sizeCode=SMA001">https://www.uniqlo.com/ca/en/p.....ode=SMA001</a><br /><b>Lululemon</b> burgundy-black sweater:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://shop.lululemon.com/en-ca/p/women-sweaters-and-wraps/Jacquard-Multi-Texture-Crew-Neck-MD/_/prod11270308?color=50591">https://shop.lululemon.com/en-.....ck-MD/_/pr</a><br /><b>Costco!</b> I have a forest green top by Banana Republic (made for Costco?) find below.<br /><b>Thrift stores&nbsp;</p> <p></b>Good luck!<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370221 Tue, 17 Sep 2024 15:39:07 +0000 cat2 2370221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Elie Tahari website has some long sleeve knit jersey tops in Grape.

Last year I purchased two simple cashmere ones (on sale) in both forest green and burgundy…good colors for me, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370128 Mon, 16 Sep 2024 11:57:33 +0000 Janet 2370128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cate, I also really like EF’s colors, but the cuts usually don’t love me. I tried a lightweight merino sweater recently in a wine color, and it was a nice weight and drape, but the body was much too roomy and the arms too short — just a weird fit. They seem to cut with extra room in the torso where I don’t need it and the effect on me is tunic-y. A shame because their colors are so good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370117 Mon, 16 Sep 2024 01:39:22 +0000 Anonymous 2370117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I don't always love the styles, Eileen Fisher often has beautiful colors.

Nice choices. Not brands that I’ve ever seen in the US and the wrong season for us now, but lovely eye candy!</p> <p>Eliza, I hear you! The jacket hewi sounds so good though. I hope you find it.</p> <p>Kate, I love that color! No three-quarter sleeves for me though — just a quirky preference I have. Otherwise I’d be tempted. </p> <p>Angie, I perused those brands and didn’t see anything right for me, but thank you for the ideas!</p> <p>Maybe later in the season… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370100 Sun, 15 Sep 2024 20:49:48 +0000 Sal 2370100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://polclothing.com.au/collections/new-arrivals/products/domino-cami-spot-print">https://polclothing.com.au/col.....spot-print</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://polclothing.com.au/collections/new-arrivals/products/keel-top-green">https://polclothing.com.au/col.....-top-green</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://gregory.net.nz/collections/all/products/dt11656">https://gregory.net.nz/collect.....ts/dt11656</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://gregory.net.nz/collections/all/products/ds11660">https://gregory.net.nz/collect.....ts/ds11660</a></p> <p>A few of the cool greens around here.</p> <p>I tried on the third outfit here in the weekend - and it was tempting.&nbsp; I loved the pants but was looking for something other than dark pants.&nbsp; The green was beautiful though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370099 Sun, 15 Sep 2024 20:11:47 +0000 Eliza 2370099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We share many color preferences. I have been looking for the right burgundy, non-boxy, single breasted or perhaps open, slightly fluid, not too long or too short, blazer-jacket for a few F/W seasons now. I think I have too many variables to accommodate! Frustrating. I am also looking to add a few cool green items. Very rare sightings. Busy with the last month of a house reno, so my searches are focussed elsewhere, but I am missing ‘that’ jacket that would bring some edge, as well as function to the season. I’ll share anything that pops up and appreciate the question. After years of earth tones predominating, I have been glad to see an uptick in cooler shades, but wardrobe gaps have arisen over time. Best with the quest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370098 Sun, 15 Sep 2024 19:43:59 +0000 Kate 2370098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this teal blouse from Uniqlo on a whim, when I was at my local store to pick-up an order. I was attracted by the color, but it’s already proven to be a really nice addition to my warm fall wardrobe.

And cool reds. Not typical spring colours but fresh.</p> <p>I like the sweaters you linked- a sweater is seems the perfect place to start to wear with denim and grey and blacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370072 Sun, 15 Sep 2024 00:32:14 +0000 Janet 2370072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I wish our secondhand stores here were more interesting.

Quality in the shops that were my normal go-to’s is just plain sad. &nbsp;My take-always so far:&nbsp;<b>Zara&nbsp;</b>is worth a look, but it’s hit and miss. &nbsp;Sometimes something so beautifully made - but you have to dig through a lot. &nbsp;<b>Uniqlo&nbsp;</b>in-store styling/merchandising - love it! &nbsp;The clothes aren’t always made for my body, but love the way things are put together on the mannequins! &nbsp;Good merino offerings. &nbsp;I’m surprised by the quality of fabric and construction found in&nbsp;<b>Mango&nbsp;</b>items. &nbsp;Brand carried by Hudson Bay, a Canadian department store, but has an online presence and some stand alone mall storefronts. &nbsp;Still trying to figure out sizing. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370055 Sat, 14 Sep 2024 21:39:15 +0000 Janet 2370055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bloomingdale’s has some sweaters that seem simple but nice. Not sure if I want cashmere right now, kinda looking for a bit more season-spanning, but may be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370054 Sat, 14 Sep 2024 21:36:15 +0000 Janet 2370054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ideas, Cat, Carla and Lisa!

A lot of what I've seen in stores lately is more earthy colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-or-forest-or-emerald-green-finds#post-2370046 Sat, 14 Sep 2024 19:00:44 +0000 Janet 2370046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been keeping an eye out for some updated tops or maybe a jacket for F/W in emerald, forest green, and burgundy, since these colors are supposed to be coming into trend and they are some of my favorites. I have an old burgundy long-sleeved V neck tee that is looking worse for the wear, and not much in a nice deep cool green anymore either. </p> <p>Everything I see online so far is either too dressy or workwear-ish (collared silk blouses, etc) or slinky junior-ish tops. Or super basic pieces that look like they’d only serve as base layers. Some items are ruffled or cowl necks or other styles that just don’t appeal to me. Fabrications look cheap and uninteresting.</p> <p>Greens in particular are still more predominant in olive and yellowish shades — not many cool greens yet. </p> <p>Am I missing something? Has anyone seen any good items around in these colors? I feel like either I am getting harder to please or offerings are becoming less appealing, but maybe it’s both. I walked through Anthro the other day and could not have been less impressed. I felt like an old fart! LOL</p> <p>Please enlighten me if you’re seeing any good solid jewel tone tops around (not workwear or gear!). </p>
