This clearly has a fancier vibe, but it’s hard to imagine a life in which both are needed, unless you’re a representative for a company with a famous logo in this color or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072503 Sun, 27 Oct 2019 17:44:59 +0000 Synne 2072503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your answers.

That said, did you try recombining the pieces? You may like the pants with a fitted top or the jacket over a dress or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072467 Sun, 27 Oct 2019 15:56:44 +0000 Angie 2072467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072270 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 22:58:58 +0000 Cardiff girl 2072270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree that we would need to see you in it to give an informed opinion but if you are having doubts trust your instincts.There will be other clothes that you might feel better in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072262 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 22:15:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2072262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If my husband made a comment like that I would have to LOVE the item to keep it, because the comment would keep ringing in my ears. He is generally very tolerant about my wardrobe and I prefer us both to like the stuff... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072235 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 20:45:59 +0000 rachylou 2072235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, hard to say without seeing you in it. But it’s supposed to be super relaxed, that I can tell, with a little swagger. Unkempt in a just-so way, not actually sloppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072195 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 18:37:53 +0000 always trying 2072195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would look better if the belt was the same fabric as the suit, like a tie belt or something.&nbsp; I think it just looks like something that was too big and so the belt is just to make it fit, or not look like a big jacket that belonged to&nbsp; a bigger person.&nbsp; Reminds me of a velvet tunic&nbsp; have that is now looking too big since I lost weight.&nbsp; I tried it with a leather belt and it just didn't look right.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072193 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 18:30:59 +0000 SarahD8 2072193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet, though I am also really curious to see the suit on. Maybe it's just a matter of figuring out the styling? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072190 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 18:22:50 +0000 Janet 2072190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to give a firm opinion without seeing it on you, but from your description of how it makes you feel, I'd say it's a return. It just doesn't sound like the reality measured up to the promise of the editorial. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/crushed-velvet-suit-kr#post-2072189 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 18:19:30 +0000 Synne 2072189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this velvet suit, and can't decide if I love it or loathe it.<br /> It looks sooo good in the editorial. I can see myself wearing it to various events. New Years-eve with friends, datenight and a rock consert etc.</p> <p>I am quite tall, and believe I can wear this sort of statement piece well (I stand out in a crowd either way). It is also the kind of glamorous and interesting that I would like my style to be. The colour goes very well with my hair, and I like the thickness of the velvet, the texture is interesting and dramatic.</p> <p>With that said, the suit feels overly pyjamas-y. The waistband is elastic, and I may have ordered a size too big, or it is supposed to look extremely relaxed. Am I seeing some Hugh Hefner too, or am I imagining things? My husbands said this reminded him of Austin Powers... like, what Mike Myers himself would wear. Hah.</p> <p>What is the forum's verdict on this? Does this sound like a keep or return to you?<br /> Thanks for any input! </p>
