I'm trying to make sure any gearish jackets I add coordinate with them, and I'm not sure I'm brave enough for a full outerwear pattern mix. Colours appear to be pretty close though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153655 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 17:08:24 +0000 Suz 2153655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fab print -- I love the idea of puffer plus leggings. Or maybe a vest and leggings, if they make it in a vest!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Florals in general are sort of my "wild card" patterns...I go for stripes, plaids, and checks much more often, but love having at least one floral in my closet for each season. Often my "floral" or "floral-esque" patterns are on scarves in the winter, and it's usually blouses/ tops in summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153648 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:37:11 +0000 Minaminu 2153648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a fab print!

And, yes to the matching puffy! :D</div><div><br /></div><div>I giggled at bad pattern placement. Much like unfortunate pocket placement on utility shirts! Once you see it, you cannot unsee it!</div><div><br /></div><div>I tend to avoid patterned tops and bottoms.

I think it’s a lot easier to wear a print that’s unusual for your style when the color contrast is low. It’s a lot less in your face then. I’d definitely give the leggings a try! For me it’s stripes - I used to love them, but now I don’t wear them all that often. I still have two high quality breton shirts which get worn in spring and summer from time to time, but other than that, nope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153355 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:08:09 +0000 Janet 2153355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love a good moody floral. That’s a nice one. I’m with Robin in the “not a leggings fan” camp but I do wear them for workouts and I have two pairs that are patterned (dark colors and low contrast because I hate emphasizing my thick legs). I love that puffer though! </p> <p>I love lots of prints and patterns but I’m not especially a fan of dots or any prints that read “cute” for myself (I can enjoy them on others). But if it’s a dotted pattern with a twist — say tone on tone or maybe a metallic dot — it gets my attention and becomes less cutesy and more interesting (see examples below — even though I dislike puff sleeves I love the dots on that second top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153337 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 13:04:55 +0000 RobinF 2153337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate leggings for myself (torture anyone?) but really love that print. Now I'm off to check it out...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153330 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 12:07:45 +0000 kkards 2153330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, those leggings are super cute...and the puffer! Matchy matchy at its best! But i can see both working independently, and what a great way to add something unexpected to winter dressing&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153324 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:54:04 +0000 Anonymous 2153324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tempted by the puffer, though can't justify the $ since there are things I need much more! I'm with you on low contrast textural looking prints! Some of the prints on Jess' blog reminded me of this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153317 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:03:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2153317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a pair of floral leggings in a print I would not expect to use, but I love them. The pattern is literally called “ditsy”, which is ordinarily a word for what I’m trying to avoid. <a href="https://www.pourmoi.co.uk/products/energy-mesh-panel-sports-leggings/?styleid=76594" rel="nofollow">https://www.pourmoi.co.uk/prod.....leid=76594</a><br /> I can totally see the dark floral leggings fitting in with the “is it gear?” section of your wardrobe that wanders across that boundary &amp; back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153312 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 09:25:01 +0000 Jessikams 2153312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gawwwwgeous. And tempting. I have an old pair of leggings that is becoming saggy, perhaps this replacement is calling..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153301 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 07:20:05 +0000 Jane 2153301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! A beautiful print that makes me very randomly think of English literature like Rebecca and Wuthering Heights. I love the puffa too a d I would be going all out for this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153300 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 07:13:15 +0000 slim cat 2153300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snake print suddenly became very interesting for me - got belt last year and silk top this summer ( Marshalls ). Florals aren't usually my go to prints but somehow in black&amp;white they have a certain appeal to me.</p> <p>Your dark and moody florals look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153266 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 02:35:48 +0000 Anonymous 2153266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like UmmLila, I like the winter woodsy print in the jacket best. It reminds me of a floral quilted bomber jacket I like to wear as an indoor topper. It has a floral print on black.<br /> The print that can catch me by surprise is the ditsy floral. If it has great colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153253 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 01:50:48 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2153253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bad pattern placement is something I never think about myself, but can’t un-see once it’s pointed out to me. </p> <p>I love me a dark floral, and these are lovely. I almost like the jacket Angie pointed out better, because it’s unusual to find a puffer like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153241 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:46:11 +0000 Anonymous 2153241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to laugh at the potential for bad pattern placement , as I notice those things almost before anything else This print is stunning and if we had access to Athleta in Canada , I’d be in trouble . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153240 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:44:45 +0000 Carla 2153240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jenn - it’s in your wheelhouse, and Brooklyn’s too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153238 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:41:13 +0000 Jenn 2153238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah, I love that print!

I see what you mean about the floral, there's nothing ditzy about it, it's very subdued. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153232 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:26:35 +0000 Sal 2153232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like patterned leggings - fun for a change.&nbsp; I have one pair of Athleta and they have been excellent.</p> <p>I definitely am drawn to floral and stripes.....and spots.&nbsp; I have had checks but no longer and typically avoid plaid.&nbsp; Here are my patterns that are not stripes, spots or floral (except for scarves). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153229 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:17:46 +0000 LaPed 2153229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you! I'd successfully forgotten about the puffer for a few moments there, because I'm trying not to add anymore puffer jackets this winter. I have plenty of outerwear... but it is very tempting to go for the matching jacket. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Rachylou, do it! We can twin.</p> <p>SarahD8, I go back and forth on leopard print! I love it in certain contexts, and have a lot of theoretical leopard outfits in my head, but haven't managed to find the right leopard pieces yet. (I'm one who struggled to find leggings that fit until the high-rise versions started appearing. Life-changing for me.)</p> <p>Bijou, that is such a pretty print! Soft Mod. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153228 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:03:49 +0000 Bijou 2153228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geometric prints generally seem to overwhelm me, but I have one dress that slipped through, probably because the flowers in the print softened the look.</p> <p>Your dark florals are lovely and a matching puffer would be so fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153224 Mon, 09 Nov 2020 23:48:07 +0000 SarahD8 2153224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, very nice! I can totally see those leggings on you, and I see why the shirt appeals too.</p> <p>I'd wear that print on the leggings but my first reaction to the product photo was "hmm, if only I could remove literally the entire waistband." Saved from temptation by my non-existent torso, lol!</p> <p>My wildcard pattern is leopard. The standard incarnation doesn't do much for me but every once in a while my head is turned by an offbeat color way. I don't actually have anything leopard in my wardrobe but I suspect it's just a matter of time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-a-floral#post-2153218 Mon, 09 Nov 2020 23:24:29 +0000 rachylou 2153218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh...
