I said I loved your pants...and I already have them. Bought them two weeks ago! I need to get them hemmed so I haven't worn them yet.&nbsp;</p> <p>I mainly bought them for dance lessons and practice (ballroom) but they are so comfy, and lighter weight than my winter pontes, I can see wearing them in my regular, mostly casual life. Especially now that I have admired them on you without knowing what I was looking at!</p> <p>I tend to ignore men. Of course they like form fitting over loose...they want to look. That's their issue! I love my DH of 30 years, but he keeps weird plaid jackets and bright yellow shirts and doesn't care a bit if I like them, so I'm wearing what I want. Plus I've found most men take a long time to get used to a new style. Unless it is the form fitting stuff, then they are all over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1208210 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 02:17:03 +0000 Sveta 1208210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 works better because fitted top makes cropped sweater stand out more.<br />Men...what do they know really?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1208205 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 02:11:07 +0000 cciele 1208205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, DS! Well, kids say the darndest things ... and we love 'em anyhow ;)</p> <p>I really really like how the cropped sweater looks with the voluminous pants. Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1208019 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:53:14 +0000 Golden 1208019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look fine but 2 looks best to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1208018 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:49:58 +0000 April 1208018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@FL: "He must have one stylish granny." &nbsp;Um, actually he doesn't. &nbsp;He thought the loose-weave cropped sweater looked like something knitted by my mom, who is not known for her fashion sense. &nbsp;</p> <p>He changed his tune slightly when I told him the sweater was from Urban Outfitters (one of his favorites) --&nbsp;but only slightly.</p> <p>Ah, well. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1208009 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:27:12 +0000 leopardluxe 1208009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2. Those wide leg pants look fantastic and the more fitted tee with poncho creates a really nice balance. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207992 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 21:56:41 +0000 Marmee 1207992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, but I can see why Angie picked #2, with the more minimal top. &nbsp;LOL at your son's comment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207979 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 21:40:47 +0000 sarah 1207979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without looking at what others said, I prefer #2 - and those pants look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207952 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:59:54 +0000 fuzzylogic 1207952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bwahahaha! Out of the mouths of babes, hey...! He must have one stylish granny!<br /> My preference is to pair something fitted with something loose, but I am drawn to the loose, flowy top in #1. I feel that the cropped, boxy sweater gives it enough structure.<br /> Those pants will be so versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207943 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:47:20 +0000 Em 1207943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer #2.</p> <p>*DS just walked in, BTW, and when I asked his opinion (of #2), he said, "Uh, you look like Grandma."*</p> <p>I'm not surprised by your husband's response... Men must be REALLY sick and tired of the lack of femininity these days... They don't care for any of these "fluid" fashions being discussed among women.</p> <p>This will sound conceited, but I need to explain it in order to make my point. I'm sure you can relate. There was a time when I was turning heads regardless of what I wore. That's not the case now pretty much again regardless of what I wear, but there's a difference in perception when I wear pants (which is most of the time...) and when I wear a skirt or a dress. A few days ago I was wearing a form-fitting dress with a fairly low neckline and went to get groceries after work. Half of the guys around my age in the store were all smiles and tripping to help me without being asked. Then again, I'm not the type of woman who brushes them aside and says "I CAN do it" (one of the reasons many of them are no longer gentlemen...). I graciously accept, let them do it, and thank them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207940 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:42:05 +0000 rachylou 1207940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a little torn. Maybe #1 with skinnier pants... and #2 for fluid pants. Really love the crop sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207918 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:10:07 +0000 April 1207918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies, I have a "leave no retail stone unturned" disclosure to make. &nbsp;</p> <p>Years after abandoning them because their frump factor had skyrocketed, I bought those pants&nbsp;from... J Jill. &nbsp;They're these:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jjill.com/jjillonline/product/itempage.aspx?item=HM088K&amp;h=M&amp;sk=M">http://www.jjill.com/jjillonli.....&#038;sk=M</a></p> <p>WARNING: Do not click if you are subject to full-leg cropped pant apoplexy. &nbsp;I cannot take responsibility for whatever else you might see while on the site... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207917 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:05:06 +0000 Catnip 1207917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #2.&nbsp; You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207910 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:52:35 +0000 Peri 1207910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really can't tell a big difference, but I'm more drawn to 2.

Love nr 2 the best, your flares are gorg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207869 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:50:48 +0000 Angie 1207869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #2 and Killer look. xo</p> <p>(Can we go parasailing with your next pair of flares?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207868 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:50:43 +0000 Neel 1207868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both looks work. Look 1 with fluid over fluid being more fashion forward as Angie would say. I love that cropped poncho style sweater. And you have styled it very well. </p> <p>I think both flatter you equally well. So can't really pick a favorite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-on-fluid-or-fluid-over-fitted#post-1207862 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:44:54 +0000 April 1207862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got these wide-leg drapey pants back from the tailor (who nipped in the hips a little so I didn't catch a strong wind and accidentally&nbsp;go parasailing). &nbsp;</p> <p>I've been wanting to wear them with this cropped sweater-poncho thing, but what are your thoughts about what should go under the sweater?</p> <p>1. &nbsp;Fluid shirt (Express Portofino)</p> <p>2. &nbsp;Fitted tee</p> <p>Kind of worried that #1 is so much "fluid" that I'm drowning, but maybe my eye hasn't adjusted yet. </p>
