The current trend of fluid fits needs boxy toppers. <br />Would toppers that don't need to be buttoned close work for your weather? They may be able to work with some of your tops if coupled with a scarf&nbsp;till you invest in boxy toppers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confusing-part-of-creating-outfits-to-me#post-1270981 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:43:31 +0000 unfrumped 1270981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had this same problem( top and topper fit, not body type).<br /> I had a couple of solutions for actual cold weather, but light summer toppers have been more problematic for me, as we as the whole proportion of oversized or boxy jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confusing-part-of-creating-outfits-to-me#post-1270789 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:27:50 +0000 Sal 1270789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, I tend to either wear a fluid/oversized top with no topper OR a blazer/jacket/fluid topper with a more fitted tee/shell. &nbsp;I do have one longer top that suits a blazer but it skims closely to my body and drapes well.</p> <p>I also wear fluid sweaters but they may not be quite so work appropriate in some situations.</p> <p>Unfortunately boxy jackets are not great on me (hourglass, shortwaisted) and make me look like a rugby player (translation American Football player).. which is not my favourite look!</p> <p>This is where a store is great- take in a couple of fluid tops and try with a few toppers and see what works...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confusing-part-of-creating-outfits-to-me#post-1270408 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:19:00 +0000 Lisa 1270408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great question, I've been wondering why my older toppers do not work with any of the new tops styles.&nbsp; None of mine are boxy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confusing-part-of-creating-outfits-to-me#post-1270330 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:23:22 +0000 Angie 1270330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's why boxier jackets are so on trend - and vests. They were made to fit over fluid tops.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confusing-part-of-creating-outfits-to-me#post-1270321 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:09:34 +0000 always trying 1270321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the need for toppers in the cold AC even in summer, some kind of topper is necessary.&nbsp; In my warm climate, with a 20+ temp difference between day and evening, sometimes between costal and a few miles inland, toppers are a big part of year round wardrobe, even though heavier jackets and coats only get a few months wear. </p> <p>I have had little problem with blazers as they work well for me over everything except maxis.&nbsp; But with the addition of some oversized tops, and a couple of my recent fluid top purchases I am having difficulty finding toppers to work.&nbsp; Anyone have ideas about proportion, what kind to wear when&nbsp; more structured blazers scrunch the tops ?,,somehow drapey cardis seem like too much fabric.&nbsp; </p> <p>I am 5' 3", with shorter body and long legs.&nbsp; I buy regular size pants mostly 4 or 6 sizes, but 10&nbsp; or 12 tops and jackets.&nbsp; Mostly like petite tops as they are not too long on my short body.&nbsp; also fitting in jackets that fit&nbsp;is not easy as I have broad shoulders-actually if it weren't for my bigger boobs I would have a more masculine looking body,</p> <p>So after the big shoe purge, getting new ones, getting my impulse shoe buying under control, I have to do something about my jacket collection, but reluctant to do so as even though I seldom wear some of them, I feel that with them gone I am at a loss for replacements..And maybe someone can give some advice as to the over wearing of the denim jackets--or an alternative..</p>
