I love 1 and 8. The other photos are hard to make out, but I can see from your inspiration photos that you've achieved the character, even if I can't make out the details. (Black is sooo hard to photograph--don't feel bad about it.) I also think these drapey pants are about the hardest thing to capture in photos, regardless of color. You need one of those wind machines they've used in the models' pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1472028 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 03:51:37 +0000 Jaime 1472028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both culottes on you. With the first one, I would also try a lighter shoe and/or a bit of a heel. I know I am a flats person but with culottes a bit of heel seems to make a big difference. The others are just to dark to appreciate properly (it is hard to even see they are pants)&nbsp;but I love the concept. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471961 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:23:39 +0000 CocoLion 1471961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #8! &nbsp;No they are not too big, they look perfect to me. &nbsp;I like the flowy&nbsp;culottes&nbsp;in #1 as well. &nbsp;Not as big a fan of the palazzo pants, but probably because they read better in movement. &nbsp;#6 is my favorite among the palazzo looks because the bare arms help break up the expanse of dark color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471952 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:13:09 +0000 amiable 1471952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - the culottes in #1 are quite flowy. &nbsp;I'll be wearing them more, as they're very practical and fit well &nbsp;Hopefully they'll render better in pictures on not-quite-so-dismal days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471928 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 01:23:21 +0000 Suz 1471928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the culottes on you. They look quite "flowy" -- is that correct? I think you can wear them brilliantly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471840 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 22:14:01 +0000 amiable 1471840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah - sorry that photos are awfully black! &nbsp;Let me see if I can lighten them up. &nbsp;It rained outside all day today, and lazy as I am, I didn't want to go outside to take pictures in the rain even for better light. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471835 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 22:03:32 +0000 Daria 1471835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black culottes look very promising! (Agree with Angie that it's hard to see all black on the photo). And shoes look like fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471796 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 21:13:54 +0000 Angie 1471796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Yes. Length).&nbsp;</p> <p>Ooooh. I'm liking the look of #5 because cobalt is dazzling on you, Amy. Fun with black.&nbsp;I can't see much of the all black outfits unfortunately, but the culottes look like winners. Fab top and bottom&nbsp;proportions in #1.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471761 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:16:05 +0000 rachylou 1471761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your #2 for right now. But boy nothing says '70s to me like culottes. I was embarrassed by them in the '70's btw. I was scandalised by pants for girls and my mum was all feminist on me... ahahaha!</p> <p>I feel... haha... the difference between culottes and palazzos is... rayon. Now rayon, nothing's says '90s to me like rayon. Lol. I make myself laugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/era-challenge---70s-with-culottes#post-1471756 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:06:53 +0000 amiable 1471756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's the difference between culottes and palazzo pants? &nbsp;Length? &nbsp;(Obviously). &nbsp;Is there more?<br />I'm combining them here, because I found examples of both when I searched pinterest for 70s style inspiration :)</p> <p>I don't have inspiration pics for all of these, but where I do have them, I'll paste them in.<br />#1 Culottes with tonal flowy shirt.<br />#2-3 Same flowy shirt with palazzo pants. &nbsp;(I rather like this, and think it might work for a dressy event).<br />#4 inspiration pic for tonal wide pants with flowy shirt.<br />#5 another, not so successful, attempt at something like the inspiration pic.<br />#6 Palazzo pants with boxy, flowy top.<br />#7 inspiration pic for #6.<br />#8 flowy top with denim culottes (are they too big looking now? &nbsp;I think I liked the fit better last summer)</p> <p>These are all intended to look at least sort of 70s, for the era challenge, but I think I'd wear several of them as-is now. &nbsp;And I'm going to be reading Angie's suggestions for culottes over and over, because I really enjoy wearing these!</p> <p>Suggestions for improvements?</p> <p> </p>
