I like it! The blue and citron make it you, but I love the burgundy boots and scarf. I have a black turtleneck pullover (mine is ribbed) that I could press into service for something similar. A question: do you think the pleats are necessary to get the right look for someone already curvy like me? I'm having a hard time finding that shape in my size, but maybe something just relaxed and tailored like one of the below would work?</p> <p>Gray are from Eileen Fisher.

They fit and feel SOOO good. I'm making them pretty in cool weather by adding:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Refined and dressy flat shoes</li> <li>Drapey scarves</li> <li>Glitzy bag</li> </ul> <p>See outfit below that I fitted on yesterday.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845653 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:15:04 +0000 Jane 1845653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 4, because everything seems to look just right and fitted. I think the pants need to be vey well cut to pull it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845651 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 11:56:38 +0000 Traci 1845651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I was just going to echo what Shevia just said. &nbsp;I think this is all about pulling off the fit in the pants. &nbsp;There seem to be lots of pants out there that are marked high waisted, but don't really come all the way up to the natural waist. &nbsp;I think the look starts to skew androgynous when the curve of the waist is obscured. &nbsp;In your examples, 5 seems more menswear than the rest.</p> <p>The other adjustment I had to make was getting used to pulling my pants up to my natural waist. &nbsp;I realized I had a couple of pairs of pants that would work like this, but I tended to slouch them down to atleast my belly button.</p> <p>In my view, moniker wise, this is gamine instead of tomboy, but a &nbsp;mature version, not a youthful version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845609 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 02:11:27 +0000 Jaime 1845609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely see the appeal. I don't even think slouchy ankle lengths have landed in many places yet, so I wouldn't worry about it going out soon. For me it would be a question of very well cut pants for my body shape, so that I could even consider tucking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845607 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 02:05:09 +0000 Suz 1845607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this kind of look and feel good in it if I feminize it just enough. Doesn't take much - make up, earrings and watch and bracelet and ring, something nice in the textures. You wear silks so well and a silk blouse tucked drapes really nicely to the point where you don't really feel it is "tucked" -- it is more "bloused" if you know what I mean -- and a bit easier to wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845590 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 01:19:36 +0000 Jenn 1845590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Traci</b>, I actually thought of you as I was posting this!</p> <p><b>annagybe</b>, some of those looks are a good example of where I <b><i></i></b><i>don't </i><b><i></i></b>want to go.

You can fem it up with a pussy bow blouse, a silky neckerchief, or interestingly textured top. </p> <p>I wear buckled brogues, pointy toe flats, and sneakers with ankle pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845371 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 08:23:39 +0000 rachylou 1845371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it (!) but am not totally sure I can wear it. I got some Target pants to try it out with... the shoes are stumping me. I don't want to go menswear or girlie... not sure what that leaves... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845353 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 04:21:30 +0000 Emily K 1845353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I know what you mean. I am busty and I have a difficult relationship with tucked shirts. I do love a half tuck and find it easiest to wear. I also prefer lower rises to get more room between bust and waistband. I can make full tuck work especially if the fit of the top is close and the pants aren't too cinched at the waist--mitigates the potato sack effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845349 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:54:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1845349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I like this silhouette, too, and I hope it's not dated. It still looks plenty current to me, anyway. I especially like 2 and 3 with the long top layer added. I think you can do it with a semi tuck, or even a very bloused semi-tuck. Sometimes I'll barely tuck a little of a top into my waistband, especially if the pants are high-waisted, and I like the effect. In colder weather, you can substitute lace-up boots and roll the pants to near the top of the boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845331 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 02:20:11 +0000 Jenn 1845331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you normally tuck your tops, Emily? That would be a big shift for me. Of course, I also have to find a pair of trousers in this shape in my size, which isn't turning out to be particularly easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845307 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 00:41:36 +0000 Emily K 1845307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that look! &nbsp;I bought these pants (finds) and I enjoy wearing them although they fall into the JFE camp I think (I hope!). &nbsp;So far, I've worn them with long and short sleeve tee's (tucked or half tucked), with a slim-fitting sweater (fully tucked), and with a button-front (semi-tucked). &nbsp;I wish I had a beautiful, fluid tank to pair with them. &nbsp;I struggle with the shoes. &nbsp;A high vamp feels stumpifying to me. &nbsp;I've worn these pants with both the shoes shown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845305 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 00:24:17 +0000 Jenn 1845305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, exactly! Too tomboy is an issue for me too, though for different reasons than you. Looks can skew masculine on me because I am tall, with less delicate features (I share the specs, flat footwear, and lack of nail polish with you), I suppose the answer is to just try it on...my solution will be to try pairing it with a healthy dose of lace, and my wavy hair worn down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845298 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 00:00:51 +0000 Angie 1845298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. I like the vibe too, Jenn.</p> <p>I like #4 best here. </p> <p>I am deciding about these COS trousers (see Find). Need to assess whether the vibe can be "Urban Pretty", and not too Tomboy. With my body type and short hair, specs, love for flat footwear, lack of nail polish and minimal jewellery &nbsp;- things veer into Tomboy territory very easily, and it's not what I want.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845286 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 23:23:22 +0000 LaPed 1845286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ankle pants (in any form except cuffed denim) have barely penetrated where I live -- probably because it's cold so much of the year. I really hope I get to wear my cropped bottoms for a couple more years...</p> <p>I really like 4 and 5 -- the oxfords give it a geek-chic vibe that I really enjoy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845283 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 23:11:08 +0000 Style Fan 1845283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look a lot.&nbsp; I haven`t seen in IRL but that means nothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845281 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 23:06:36 +0000 Jenn 1845281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal, &nbsp;</b>#3 is a bit high-contrast for me, but I do like those pinstripes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/digging-this-silhouette#post-1845280 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 23:04:21 +0000 Sal 1845280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look pretty cool to me, i like 3 but it would not suit me (I can't do white and high waist together)...In all cases the footwear is very modern, the seperates are more classic, so it is all in the wearing.</p> <p>Here it is all about the skinny jean still with a few harems and genie pants, and the odd cropped denim...</p> <p> </p>
