I grew up in a time when clothing wasn't so casual. In my family, smart casual was worn, and that's the way I dress to this day. If <i>Comfort Chic&nbsp;</i>isn't the persona&nbsp;I should use, even though comfort is the overriding factor in all of my clothing choices, then I need to come up with something else. I'm after a smart casual look that's both comfortable and chic, and don't think those two things are mutually exclusive. So girls, gimme some help here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441801 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:47:54 +0000 Sveta 1441801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you can - why not? If this makes sense for you it all that matters. Style descriptor is to help YOU, not make sense to somebody else.</p> <p>BTW I still don't have my own and absolutely clueless about those descriptors. You are miles ahead of me!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441799 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:44:21 +0000 annabelle 1441799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. For myself, I try to keep in mind "urban chic" with the modifier "approachable." i.e., I never want to be over styled or so expensive looking that I come off as unfriendly or unavailable. I always add pattern and occasionally RATE or bohemian elements. So I like the "comfort chic" identifier. It's a real thing. </p> <p>I'm not sure the comfort descriptor goes with your penchant for tailoring and feminine detailing that you've been exploring recently, though, bettycrocker. You're on a journey, and this is a really neat idea to consider! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441702 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 23:23:55 +0000 crutcher 1441702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Relaxed Chic...Remember Stacey and Clinton and all of the times they had someone say "its so comfortable"?...I guess those experiences put off any definition of "comfortable"...But hey, BC...it is your party... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441694 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 23:18:00 +0000 K.M. 1441694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Comfort Chic, and I want it for me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441689 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 23:16:11 +0000 Dimity 1441689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with unfrumped and comfortably chic.

I know <i>Comfort Chic</i>&nbsp;means different things to different people, but what matters is what it means to me and how it will be used for shopping&nbsp;and styling outfits.</p> <p><b>Staysfit</b>, I'm with you on this. Things have to feel good (i.e. not be scratchy or itchy or pinch) or I won't wear them. They can't be tight, either. But it doesn't stop there. The pieces have to look smart casual&nbsp;chic. Nothing frumpy or touristy or too casual. Not too dressy most of the time, but I do need dressy outfits for special occasions. Shoes have been the most difficult things to shop for.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441346 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:36:41 +0000 Olivegreen 1441346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Could go arty woolens or floaty earth mother boho or sporty elastic waists and spandex. Could be Palm Beach casual with bright tunics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441332 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:54:59 +0000 Anonymous 1441332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>unfrumped</b>. I can see how there'd be perhaps a clearer message with&nbsp;<i>Comfortably</i> Chic. Funny how two extra letters at the end of a word can change one's perception, eh?&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Windchime</b>, please educate me on what <i>Sporty Luxe</i> is supposed to mean. I don't think that describes my style, but&nbsp;I've always wanted to know. It's the word sporty that I'm not sure about. I don't wear anything that I'd classify as sporty.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441327 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:34:42 +0000 unfrumped 1441327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Use same word root but differently.<br /> One blogger uses the style term,<br /> "Comfortably dressy". She is/ was MOTG and focused on washable but polished, well/ fitting items and quit trying to have separate wardrobes -- prolly lots of knitwear but some style choices to not look like lounging sweats. So less distinction between at home vs. errands vs going out ( maybe not formal wear!)<br /> So " comfort ____" has the potential to be a bit tainted by the prior associations-- comfort food, comfort<br /> shoe, whereas maybe<br /> Comfortably chic give a more active sense of HOW you are achieving your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441326 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 12:31:03 +0000 Windchime 1441326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you can! Actually, that term could be useful for a lot of us, I think. I know that I am not willing to sacrifice comfort for style. </p> <p> Have you tried any sporty luxe? That seems the epitome of comfort chic, in a way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441319 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:38:57 +0000 Summer 1441319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! &nbsp;If it works for you, go ahead. &nbsp;You're the boss! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441312 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:17:32 +0000 Style Fan 1441312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.&nbsp; I need to be comfortable too.&nbsp; If it works for you then it is a great term.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441301 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 10:13:58 +0000 Staysfit 1441301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew it was an excellent term as soon as I saw Firecracker use it the other day! I love it! Go for it! It resonates with me as well because I never purchase anything unless it's absolutely comfortable. Nothing itchy, tight, that pinches or that I can't move well in. Plus, I feel everything before I try it on. If I don't like it, I don't bother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441231 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 03:22:30 +0000 AM 1441231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like Comfort Chic. It's easier for me to see the winter version of Comfort,Chic (because I see cozy). I'm not sure how I see the summer version but perhaps that is because I am struggling with summer myself&nbsp;(and it's too freakin' cold to get my head around warmth). How do you see the summer version? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441226 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 03:10:10 +0000 Jeanie 1441226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it....Comfort Chic is what I aspire to. &nbsp;&nbsp;I find it is (for me) a very hard combo to get right. &nbsp;I think there really are no other words that can replace comfort when comfort is key. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441223 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 02:57:57 +0000 Sal 1441223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Relaxed Chic - but it is your choice, and it only needs to work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441218 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 02:48:57 +0000 Day Vies 1441218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joy. Your style tool should work for you. If it puts the right picture in your mind's eye of your perfect style then it's the right choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441188 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 02:00:55 +0000 Anonymous 1441188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, UmmLila. You've put an image in my head that I can't shake, and now I've connected the word "comfort" with comforters. :)</p> <p>"Relaxed elegance" has a nice ring to it, but I think I feel more chic than elegant. Elegant conjures up a very polished look that I neither have nor feel. Chic is, by my definition at least, stylish but not elegant. It's like there are levels of refinement, and mine is not the top level where an elegantly dressed person would be. </p> <p>Maybe "Relaxed Chic?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-use-comfort-chic-as-my-style-persona#post-1441183 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 01:51:01 +0000 Anonymous 1441183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Betty, you can use anything you want.
