I'm super long in the torso, so I LOVE a higher waist and fully tucked blouse. This is wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look/page/2#post-1160192 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 14:57:53 +0000 Angie 1160192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way ladies, no pussy bow blouses for me either. I gave them up 4 years ago.&nbsp;I'm complementing the blogger and am&nbsp;much inspired by the overall silhouette and combination - rather than the individual pieces themselves.&nbsp;</p> <p>High waistbands are harder to wear on short waisted gals, but a column of colour makes this quite wearable.&nbsp;</p> <p>Actually, I think this look is excellent on a pretty pair with a small waist.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look/page/2#post-1160165 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 14:27:45 +0000 Janet 1160165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of the trousers! I wore some similar many years ago, but I was thinner then, which helped mitigate the shortness of my torso. I kinda feel like I need to be my thinnest to wear this successfully, and I don't think that's happening any time soon. </p> <p>I'm not sure how I could do this now. No bow blouses for me, so I'm with Rae in wanting a top with a little more structure -- a tucked Equipment blouse? But I fear high waists are coming back into style, and I don't think they look good on me at all. The last time I tried on a pair, hubs nixed the look in a heartbeat. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm not encouraged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look/page/2#post-1160156 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 14:18:00 +0000 Lisa 1160156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the top tips Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1160087 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:20:27 +0000 Inge 1160087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fantastic, isn't it!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1160085 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:16:25 +0000 Windchime 1160085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this elegant, flowing look. Trousers are on my "replace/update" list; if I can find them long enough, I'll give this a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1160082 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 11:49:02 +0000 Deborah 1160082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look but feel I have been here before. There are some things I can revisit and some I can't .... not sure exactly why. The more I think about it, I would have to wear a blouse without the bow. I do find it to be a very attractive look though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1160078 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 11:45:04 +0000 kkards 1160078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1160041 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 06:42:11 +0000 Jeanie 1160041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reminds me of a PIN I have of Katharine Hepburn. &nbsp;Love the look just don't feel quite svelte enough to pull it off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159906 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 03:04:10 +0000 Angie 1159906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trousers are from Zara. Look there first.&nbsp;</p> <p>We can all add heels if flats don't work (especially the petites) - so no worries Suz and others. Love the photo Shannon provided. I'm sure the wearer is in heels.&nbsp;</p> <p>High five, Diane.&nbsp;</p> <p>MUST tuck the top. High waist and pleats are&nbsp;essential.&nbsp;</p> <p>Diana, wear a column of colour or low contrast top and you'll be fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, a soft bloussoned&nbsp;tucked top definitely adds to the '40s vibe of the outfit. But of course a crisp button down will work too. So will a soft, fluid&nbsp;tucked pullover. Or oversized crop top.&nbsp;</p> <p>Beth Ann, I like the idea of a shorter jacket for sure. Very '80s. I'm in.&nbsp;</p> <p>Joy, loved that you chimed in about your Mama wearing this in the '40s.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159902 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 03:00:13 +0000 nancylee 1159902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely, Angie. &nbsp;I'm not usually a trouser girl, but I do like this wide cut, fluid leg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159893 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 02:48:32 +0000 catgirl 1159893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore this look beyond belief. Always have. This is exactly the look I was aiming for when I responded to your petite spots - flowy tailored cuffed pants a la Kate Hepburn. </p> <p>So apropos your petites post, how does a 5'1" gal find the pants that make this look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159875 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 02:30:41 +0000 Anonymous 1159875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This reminds me of outfits that my mother and friends were wearing in photos from the 40's. it would be fun to see this silhouette come back into fashion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159871 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 02:25:57 +0000 Parsley 1159871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I do think it's a challenging look to wear, but so very elegant when done right.&nbsp;<br />Thanks for the inspiration, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159866 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 02:16:15 +0000 rae 1159866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE look, but my body type is so much different than the bloggers there would be a ton of adjustments... more structured top with no bow, higher heels, less contrast between top and bottom... and I still don't know if I would like it on me! But that is what's nice about fashion is that there's something different for everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159781 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 22:59:28 +0000 Raisin 1159781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OHHHH, I love this look. &nbsp;I've done something similar before, but haven't tried it in a while. &nbsp;I want to break out some wide leg pants now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159768 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 22:30:51 +0000 Caro in Oz 1159768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159719 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 21:28:53 +0000 Ariadne 1159719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a beautiful look. &nbsp;I can't think when I'd wear it in my actual life, or else I'd be very, very interested in trying it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159703 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 21:08:50 +0000 Sharon 1159703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The '40s are my favourite. I really want to try this kind of look for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159702 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:57:31 +0000 Marley 1159702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a soft, flowy look!&nbsp; I would definitely <i>have</i> to wear these with heeled shoes though.&nbsp; No way could I pull off these trousers with a flat shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159692 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:48:12 +0000 Beth Ann 1159692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh laaaa.....I so love these trousers.&nbsp; I have one pair in black, but am looking for a lighter pair for Spring/Summer.&nbsp; They are still quite difficult to find.</p> <p>You know, I've been tempted to purge some of my shorter jackets --- the "shrunken" look that is questionable on my frame.&nbsp; Still, I wonder if a shorter jacket isn't best with these kind of trousers.</p> <p>While flats are hard to pull off, I think wide legs can be balanced by a moderate heel -- 2 inches, perhaps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159682 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:42:47 +0000 Suz 1159682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just going to comment on E's post - she wore pants like this recently. I love them. I think Beth Ann is after this look, too. I would for sure wear this, although probably with my little 1.5 or 2 inch heeled booties instead of flats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159658 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:17:12 +0000 Greyscale 1159658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I would definitely wear this, despite my short legs, though it certainly works even better on her. (I might even be convinced to wear that pink blouse - it's about the only pink that works on me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159652 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:08:23 +0000 E 1159652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I just wore an outfit a bit&nbsp;like this! (As Diana mentioned.) I felt very elegant and put together (all 5'3", of my&nbsp;long torso-ed, short legged self), not to mention super comfortable thanks to the fluid pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159627 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:55:33 +0000 Diana 1159627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, perhaps I should rethink my stance against tucking into higher rise trousers.&nbsp; But I am so very short waisted.&nbsp; </p> <p>This is terribly elegant.&nbsp; E. actually posted a similar look earlier today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159625 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:55:16 +0000 Lisa 1159625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved this look and was curious how to pull it off.&nbsp; Does the tucked top need to be flowy as the blogger did here, or would a crisp button down work too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159593 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:23:20 +0000 Anonymous 1159593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant! I love your idea of a cropped top too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159592 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:22:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1159592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - reminds me of this outfit with grey wide legged trousers I have pinned on one of my boards. I love that fluid look...if only I were 6 feet tall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159591 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:22:38 +0000 citygirldc 1159591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if this pant style would look good on my petite frame.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-trouser-look#post-1159588 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:17:58 +0000 Angie 1159588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trousers on the lovely blogger&nbsp;are from Zara, Gracie, so very affordable.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thistle, I would love to see you in structured wide leg trousers.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sona, a partial tuck will do the trick, clever girl. Pleae play around with the V on V look - start with a coloumn of colour. I would like to pair these trousers with a wide crop top actually.&nbsp;xo </p>
