At I suggest blush. &nbsp;It will sing of spring but can be worn with dark neutrals successfully too. &nbsp;Rounding out costs with accessory capsules can be expensive too especially if you include boots and cashmere scarves. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit/page/2#post-2228651 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 14:46:04 +0000 anchie 2228651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coats are not that expensive here - I think I can find decent one for the price of the Boss suit.<br /> I probably need minimum one for the deep winter and one for milder days, but 3 coats would be better because I will wear them daily for the next 6 months. I was thinking maybe navy wool coat and cream puffer coat. Third is less of priority, maybe some fun coat later in the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit/page/2#post-2228636 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 13:43:05 +0000 Minaminu 2228636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>smart decision.

Just as well you don’t live here. They are generally hundreds and hundreds of dollars here or even a thousand. I don’t own a good one but there isn’t really the need as I live in the warmer areas of our temperate climate.<br /> I think it sounds good to save your budget for the coat situation since you will need warm outerwear more.<br /> The suit did look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit/page/2#post-2228592 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 08:42:47 +0000 anchie 2228592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have made my decision - Boss suit is going back. I think it will be smarter to spend my budget on something that is actual need, and I just remembered that my winter coat situation is in dire condition. Last 2 winters I was WFH and in that period I bought 2 winter coats, but they were both intended for casual wear and threy don't fit over my work blazers. All my other outerwear dates pre weight loss and they are 2-3 sizes too big. I am now back in the office full time. I can still wear my winter coats if absolutely necessery but they look sloppy. For some reason I don't enjoy shopping for outerwear, and considering that they are on the expensive side, it will take me few more years to replace all, if my weight stays stable. This winter I would like to get 3 coats - one light neutral, one dark neutral and one in fun color. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228336 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 04:57:44 +0000 LAR101 2228336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Angie, that the Boss suit is a cut above. Personally, I would keep the Boss (finances permitting) and then decide what to do with the Dondup (keep or sell or donate). </p> <p>I think you wear both well. </p> <p>Personally for me, the Boss blazer is a HEWI. I’m always looking for the shorter wider lapels to balance my bust and avoiding those ‘ leaner, longer front lapels like on the (Dondup) blazer’ that do not follow the curve of my hourglass bustline. I wish I looked good in them, Alas it is not to be. </p> <p>I do think you wear both well<br /> And these are different enough to keep both. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228321 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 02:02:37 +0000 DonnaF 2228321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you consulted yet with a tailor on the Dondup pants and been reassured about the success of an alteration? </p> <p>I have no answer for you regarding the Boss suit. I don’t think photos really show have different the fabric may look IRL. And in the end, it’s an emotional decision, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228165 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 12:47:57 +0000 lyn67 2228165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Dondup better-not only for the shine:-) but has a leaner, longer front cut on the blazer and no standing out visible buttons (which can mess with some future stylings), but if there is place for both...:-))&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228153 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 12:28:45 +0000 RobinF 2228153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me the Boss looks a little more casual with the topstitching and pocket flaps. But only you can say if they will get enough wear if you have both. It looks like they both fit you really well so that isn't a factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228121 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 10:03:14 +0000 anchie 2228121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You raised many valid points. I haven’t decided yet but I am leaning towards returning. If I did not already own Dondup suit, I would keep for sure. But now I feel I would prefer something more distinctly different. On the other hand, my DH and DD like it a lot and think it is not similar to the other suit at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228080 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 02:33:54 +0000 Jenni NZ 2228080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to know. I personally prefer the one you already own more- because Lurex!<br /> I always lean towards not buying but then I have so much choice already. No pants suits though, and you would wear both if they feel different enough… I’m no help sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228062 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 01:01:46 +0000 Jaime 2228062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Dondup suit on you but I do see the HB as being different. The jacket seems a bit more fitted rather than straight and the lurex of course. I do like the cuffs on the HB trousers. Do you ever wear the pieces as separates?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2228025 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 22:22:12 +0000 lozz_oz 2228025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any chance your budget permits keeping both? The pants suits look is very you, so they will get worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227963 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 19:09:05 +0000 Anonymous 2227963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Dondup a bit more than the Boss too, but if you'd wear both and not get tired of the look quickly, keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227938 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 17:53:20 +0000 anchie 2227938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I found the suit on invite only web site called Best Secret, so the link would work only for registered users. I got invite from another faber here I can send you invite but I don't think it ships to US. </p> <p>If anyone else is interested in invite, please let me know. I have found many gems there. They have extremly fast and free shipping and returns, and you don't have to pay anything in advance, just what you keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227934 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 17:43:02 +0000 Angie 2227934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like me<b> anchie</b>, you LOVE to wear pant suits! They are not orphaned. The Boss suit is a cut above the other. KILLER.&nbsp;</p> <p>KEEP :)</p> <p>Try with HIGH shaft boots! These pants are quite cropped.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can you provide links to the items please? I cannot find the here!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227927 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 17:24:40 +0000 cat2 2227927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep, I think they will see different uses given the metallic sheen to one versus the other. And the fact you would be wearing different accessories will make them stand out yet more. You might style one more for fall and the other more for Spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227910 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:24:28 +0000 anchie 2227910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boss suit skews more warm and Dondup more cool, but they are both navy definitely. Not sure if that even makes sense:) And yes, Boss is lighter weight.<br /> I would probably wear each suit approximately 2 times per month for at least 9 months yearly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227908 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:20:01 +0000 kkards 2227908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the additional pictures of the close up on the jackets…looking at those, it looks at least to me, that the Dondup reads slightly more black and the Boss slight more blue…for that reason alone, I’d keep both. Also as it’s unlined, does that make it more year round than the&nbsp;Dondup? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227906 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:16:22 +0000 anchie 2227906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear Boss suit with my usual shoes and accessories like navy, cream or accent color, but I think this suit is made for and would look its best combined with earthy tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227905 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:09:04 +0000 Kaelyn 2227905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fair point about possibly needing to add cognac accessories to pair with it. Might still be worth it if you'd get a lot of use out of the cognac stuff and would like to add it anyway, but that is a lot to add to it to make it work. Do you have other accessories that look good with it already? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227904 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:07:27 +0000 Carla 2227904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both. &nbsp;They are different enough from each other, but from what I’ve seen of your style - they are definitely in your wheel house and will get lots of wear over time.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227903 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:05:49 +0000 Star (Lise) 2227903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie I think maybe you just answered your dilemma yourself.&nbsp; If you have to buy a bunch of cognac things to match the Boss suit is it really such a good deal money-wise.&nbsp; I realise I am in the minority here but since you posted the 2nd batch of pics side by side these look so very similar I personally think one is going to get neglected over the other in the long run, so would rather spend 200 euros on something quite different.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227902 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 16:00:22 +0000 anchie 2227902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One thing that is giving me pause is rust stitching on Boss suit. It is out of my color scheme and I am not sure how limiting that can be. But it is very discreet and not that visible. I think Boss suit would look great with some cognac shoes and accessories that I don’t own.<br /> Dondup on the other hand looks great with silver shoes and accessories that I do own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227900 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 15:42:48 +0000 Kaelyn 2227900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, seeing them in the same spot like that really highlights the differences. I'm also noting the different pocket styles. I say keep both if you really love them! Dondup would be LOVELY for a holiday party or any other event where you want to shine, and Boss would work equally well casually or professionally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227896 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 15:22:40 +0000 anchie 2227896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to mention- don’t think that style lab would help in this situation. I don’t have many different ways to style the suits and I think both can be styled in the very similar way. Only difference that I see is that Dondup suit because of the lurex can be styled for holiday party, while Boss seems more casual and would look good with chunky sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227891 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 15:14:54 +0000 slim cat 2227891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both - vote to keep them.<br />It's different enough and looks fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-another-denim-pantsuit#post-2227890 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 15:09:18 +0000 anchie 2227890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Took the photos of the blazers in the same spot, to show differences and similarities. Boss is unlined and has silver buttons and rust stitching. Boss pants also fit me better, no alterations needed. </p>
