I think it's cute, and it also somehow helps with the issue of the shirt being visible under the sweater, as it's more "meant to be" a layering look if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45847 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:40:31 +0000 Ellen 45847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And look for button-fronts with very thin buttons. I once tried layering with a pearl-buttoned shirt and that did not work at all! I had bullet points down my front. Some buttons are bulkier than others, so add that to the list of things to watch for in a button-front shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45846 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:38:53 +0000 Ellen 45846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it has a lot to do with fit. I also find that it's easier to get a smooth look with a very lightweight button-front shirt (I have a couple from Gap which are hard to wear on their own because they are thin and wrinkle easily, but are perfect for layering). Another trick is to accessorize well... scarves and necklaces that are well-placed can help to distract the eye and make your look more polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45832 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:58:09 +0000 Amandalael 45832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks! I am new to this website and it is nice to know others stress about the same things I do! I think it may be a mixture of not getting the right sweater and just being overly critical. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And, I don't like the idea of the faux ones, although they do look good, for some reason I just can't bring myself to buy one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45792 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:29:11 +0000 ChristineB 45792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the lumps are always more noticable on ourselves than on others. Also, the fit of the button up shirt and the sweater are key. The button up shirt must be fairly close fitting, and the sweater can't be too close fitting. THis will help some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45778 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:00:34 +0000 Inge 45778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wondering about this as well, so I'm curious to read more answers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45743 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 06:19:08 +0000 Amanda 45743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I started wearing button downs again this summer, I felt that they must look bumpy under my cardigans -- but I always got such good reviews when I posted photos on the forum, that I finally decided I was being too critical. But it does depend on the sweater -- I don't feel comfortable with really fitted sweaters over a button down, those I save for camis or tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45663 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:05:01 +0000 Laura 45663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bring back the dickie! Bring back slips!!</p> <p>I'm all for it, Nicole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45661 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:03:50 +0000 Nicole 45661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amanda, </p> <p>I know!! That same exact thing drives me CRAZY!!! I went out and bought some sweaters that are a little more substantial because ALL of my sweaters were fine guage. Unfortunately, being top heavy, chunky sweaters don't flatter me very much. </p> <p>Does anyone remember "dickies"? False collars that you wore under shirts. I wonder if they still make them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45651 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:27:47 +0000 carissa 45651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps the other women you see are wearing a faux look. Its simply a sweater with the collar &#38; cuffs of a button up shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-up-shirts-under-sweaters#post-45618 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:19:42 +0000 Amandalael 45618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I know this has been popular for a while, but I would like to wear a sweater over my button up dress shirts for work. I always feel, though that the buttons are showing through and the shirt looks bumpy underneath. When I see other women wear it, I don't notice it. It this just part of the look or are there ways to make wear this look without the bumps? Thanks for your help! </p>
