I have been able to go to the hair dresser, and am now sporting a shorter cut than before the pandemic. I find myself gravitating toward simpler, more streamlined top styles now, but maybe that's just pandemic in general and nothing to do with my hair. Who knows?! haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170915 Tue, 09 Feb 2021 15:32:41 +0000 Ledonna N. 2170915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Great topic&nbsp; I enjoyed reading all the comments</div><div><br /></div><div>I gave myself a quarantine cut.&nbsp; I have been growing my loc for 3 years.&nbsp; I needed a fresh start.&nbsp; I must say&nbsp; I look like a bit of a chaotic mess.&nbsp; Lots of hats and head wraps by summer I can start to style it again.&nbsp; <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170490 Sun, 07 Feb 2021 10:38:54 +0000 wilma2323 2170490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>totally agree.

It never occurred to me. No doubt because when my hair is long, like it is now, I tend to wear it up. I may not actually like long hair... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170189 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 15:40:31 +0000 Helena 2170189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I never thought of that, but that's very wise. In general, I think editing right now is a "proceed with caution" venture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170134 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 06:54:29 +0000 Gigi 2170134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are being very smart! I have had short hair most of my life (about chin length), and one year not too long ago I decided to grow it out. I was confused when tops that had worked very well for me in the past stopped working. I had loved turtlenecks, and looked good in them, but with longer hair, I didn't find them flattering. On the other hand, deeper scoopneck tops, which hadn't looked good on me before, now looked OK. It took me a while to figure out that it was my hair length that was creating the change. I thought about it and decided that I was going to stay with shorter cuts as my main style, so I use that length as my main barometer for which necklines to buy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170119 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 03:20:43 +0000 MsMaven 2170119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve reached the point where my now below collarbone hair keeps getting in the way. Today I went for a walk and it was chilly and windy out. I realize I could use a headband, tried tying a scarf instead but then how do I get the mask to work? Ended up with a low ponytail and put the hood up and the scarf around my neck. Very busy.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I hate ponytails but I wonder if maybe MrMaven could do a loose braid in back, but he wasn’t home. If all goes well I get my second vaccine Feb 20 and 2 weeks later I’ll see if I’m brave enough to go to a hairdresser.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>In the meantime I’ll keep trying ideas I learn about on this forum.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170114 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:48:20 +0000 Jaime 2170114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair has been short for years, but there was a major shock to my system when I went from dark brown to black and white. I think culling according to poor fit, quality etc. is the way to go for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170112 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 02:44:17 +0000 unfrumped 2170112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting observations!<br /> Also, Celia, I hadn’t noticed as much about fabric texture , or maybe even pattern, but I could see that.<br /> Scarves too. I know you don’t need short hair to wear a scarf, but thers more going on around my face and neck with longer hair, added to the mask. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170101 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 01:18:22 +0000 celia 2170101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hairstyle and lenght hasn't changed much as I usually don't go shorter than shoulder lenght bob( LOB?). However,I have fine straight hair and whenever I want to wear turtlenecks the proportions feel better if I do a ponytail or updo of some sort.<br /> I find that not only necklines but also fabric changes the way I wear my hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170093 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 23:05:01 +0000 LaPed 2170093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, definitely. I enjoy turtlenecks a lot more when I have a pixie or if I put my hair up, and a vneck or boatneck can feel a little too exposed when my hair is super short. A not-too-high crewneck seems to work no matter what, and I love button front shirts because you can adjust how open to make them. I like to go back and forth between long and short (spring 2018 I cut a very short pixie, grew it to a cleopatra bob in 2019, and continued the grow-out through 2020 so now it’s down to my shoulders with the bangs mostly grown out), so I try to keep a variety of necklines, knowing I won’t be reaching for all of them at any given time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170083 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 22:29:18 +0000 Sal 2170083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree.&nbsp; And I think this is wise.&nbsp;</p> <p>When my hair is worn down I prefer an open neck, when I have it quite short or tie it back a crew or even turtle neck work fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2170077 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 22:10:57 +0000 Anonymous 2170077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i had my shoulder length hair cut very short in autumn and have been maintaining it myself. Ultimately I am expecting the style to be temporary and I haven't bought clothing to accommodate the change.</p> <p>It is winter and I have been wearing scarves to fill the necklines of sweaters, which seemed unnatural at first because I don't usually wear them, but I found some that I like.</p> <p>My button down shirts might have seemed like good choices for more wear but to me, they look too masculine without the softening effect of my hair.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2169995 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 17:27:36 +0000 Anonymous 2169995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wanting more covered necklines lately, though unrelated to hair. Lower necklines just break up my already short torso- I decided. My hair has always been at least shoulder length as long as I've had a choice about it.<br /> That said though, high necklines and toppers are problematic. I feel blocky. So v and scoop neck are better if I have to wear a topper, and higher if my legs are bare. Long pants and no topper seems ok either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2169986 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 16:46:45 +0000 unfrumped 2169986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, no, between the couple of cuts snd s gre hacks I have it myself, it’s not long enough, but not near either!<br /> I didn’t have the foresight to think that I could let it grow long on sides &amp; back but hack the bangs, and do a little ponytail. At one point I thought I was back to being able to have repeats, if less frequent, haircuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2169985 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 16:46:37 +0000 Irina 2169985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very interesting observation. I haven’t thought how my hair style might affect my preferences for certain necklines. I had my hair in a short bob for last few years and didn’t like scoop neck tops on me, going more for high crew neck styles. My hair now reaches my shoulders and I plan to let it grow for another couple of inches. Maybe lower crew and scoop neck will look better? I have to try on some of my summer/spring tops. I’m not editing any clothes right now but curious to check anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2169982 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 16:40:49 +0000 nemosmom 2169982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks to entering and exiting various phases of lockdown since March, my choppy layers have been neglected for nearly a year now.&nbsp; I find myself in more up-dos and messy bun-type things than I would like...&nbsp; I have been relying on my spin pins to prevent elastic band damage.&nbsp; BUT, I have been enjoying turtlenecks again for the first time in a long time.&nbsp; I think having all the hair away from my face and neck makes it work.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2169978 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 16:22:36 +0000 Carla 2169978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair situation is so very different from what it was a year ago, that I almost don’t feel like myself! &nbsp;I’ve gone from a short earlobe baring bob to a shoulder grazing lob, and the length is pulling out the curl. &nbsp;Up-dos work well on mask wearing days and &nbsp;clear the neckline. &nbsp;Is your hair long enough to put up?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cautious-tops-editing-until-haircuts-stabilize#post-2169975 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 16:03:17 +0000 unfrumped 2169975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Though I finally got a couple of haircuts mid-way last year, my ability to schedule further appointments has been disrupted by haircut guy retiring, virus cases rising, and new hair stylist found but then out sick.<br /> In addition, we’ve discussed some about its being harder to play with new hair styles because of how mask impacts the<br /> experience.<br /> When I evaluate tops, shirts, sweaters for fit, color, style, use- I focus a lot on necklines. I actually like not- too - high crew necks, but do also like shirt collars and some cowl necks.<br /> But I notice that the longer ( and messier!) my hair gets, the more I’m bothered by higher necklines and may think, why did I ever get this?<br /> But then, if I adjust my hair to try to imagine it shorter and more pixie- like, the proportions shift. </p> <p>So, I’m trying to watch out for too- hasty “ collar- culling” during pandemic, until I get to a better haircut situation. Poor fit, fabric, bad colors — all these still seem reliable tests for editing out. This also would affect how well I can assess new items, especially if expecting longevity. ( Not saying one can’t “ dress for the hair you have today” , plus recognize enduring styles that have worked across the years. </p> <p>How about you-how is your hair “ situation affecting what you prefer to wear and maybe how you view your existing tops and jackets or wardrobe planning? </p>
