We definitely need to have a puffy-pirate shirt club.</p> <p>Sterling, I'm checking out the shirt, it's exactly what I need, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1646964 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 00:23:56 +0000 Scarlet 1646964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The body and the collar look great but I do find the puff sleeves to be a bit much It must be a nice material. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1646896 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 22:16:33 +0000 Anonymous 1646896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette -- this is the shirt I wear. &nbsp;It is their fitted shirt. &nbsp;It has held up very well through the years (not at all sheer and that matters to me). &nbsp;Despite the fact that it is "non-iron," I still have to iron it. &nbsp; But several of my friends swear that they take it right out of the dryer and wear it. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1646893 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 22:10:28 +0000 Anonymous 1646893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Colette, here is a pic of me in my puffy shirt.&nbsp; Alas, the only way I could depuff myself was to change shirts.&nbsp; Yarrrrrgh.&nbsp; I guess I'll have to sneak around in it since my SO doesn't want to be seen with a pirate.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1646761 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 18:43:17 +0000 Colette 1646761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your opinion. I did not get the shirt but I'm still thinking about it. I loved the fabric and the fact that it was not just a classic button down, but I just couldn't see myself managing the sleeves. The biggest part for me was what kind of jacket would fit over them, without looking like a wrinkled mess. I always have to have a jacket or topper because I'm freezing.</p> <p>Ledonna, how could I forget about Prince? Love him!!!</p> <p>Mochi, I did not know about your pirate bias, would love to see your pirate shirt.</p> <p>&nbsp;El Cee, Staysfit, kellygirl, Chris987 and Bonnie, thank you for the boost.</p> <p>Xtabay, please share your puffy shirt! And how you de-puffed it. I know my SO would make some funny joke too. But, if there is a puffy shirt club, I'm in.</p> <p>Sterling, I do want a classic shirt too. I'm going to check out Brooks Brothers. Is there a specific style that I should look for?</p> <p>L'Abeille, you are so right. This particular white shirt would be fun for weekends and dinners out.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645956 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 02:43:40 +0000 Bonnie 1645956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt looks really good on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645953 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 02:39:46 +0000 L'Abeille 1645953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get it, I love it! And keep looking for a more classic style button front shirt. One of the best things I learned from Angie was to duplicate my best go-tos (in my case, white shirts) if they become wardrobe bottlenecks when they're in the laundry. Before, I basically saved my white shirts for work days. Now, I can also pair them with jeans on Saturday or a printed full skirt on Sunday, and those outfits are so much more "me". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645896 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 23:36:12 +0000 kellygirl 1645896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you! It's much more interesting than the classic button down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645851 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 21:35:10 +0000 Chris987 1645851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The collar and cuffs do read a little "pirate-ey" to me but so what? If you like it go for it! Looks like a very nice and substantial fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645841 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 21:08:52 +0000 Anonymous 1645841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette -- based on your dress search, would you be more inclined to wear a fitted white button down? &nbsp;If so, Brooks Brothers has some really nice ones that require minimal ironing. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645818 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 20:36:57 +0000 Staysfit 1645818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the reference is so funny! I love the Seinfeld shirt episode, and I don't think your shirt looks anything like that! You look terrific in your shirt and I have think it would be a great addition to your wardrobe. It's very flattering, and I never would have thought of it on my own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645814 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 20:31:11 +0000 Anonymous 1645814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my new puffy shirt from Garnet Hill.&nbsp; My husband laughed at it, though.&nbsp; I had to de-puffify myself before he took me to dinner.&nbsp; Oh well, I guess not everyone likes the pirate look!&nbsp; But Colette, we could start a club, I guess, if you want to get that one.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645812 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 20:28:14 +0000 Ledonna N. 1645812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi I do also with Prince from the 80s.

It looks really nice. Then again, you ought to know I have a pirate bias. But really, it looks and fits great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645791 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 19:56:36 +0000 El Cee 1645791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Ledonna -- you look terrific in that shirt. But I did get a chuckle in regard to the Seinfeld reference.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645789 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 19:54:21 +0000 Ledonna N. 1645789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FUNNYbut, Truthfully I think it looks great on you love the veneck and sleeve </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-a-white-shirt#post-1645785 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 19:45:24 +0000 Colette 1645785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love a white cotton button down shirt. Always have, always will and I'm questioning why I don't wear them more often. One reason is the one classic white shirt I own is not a great fit. So, I'm searching for a great fitting classic white shirt and potentially a newer silhouette.</p> <p>Along the way I've found some interesting interpretations. This one in particular I just had to try on because it looked fun and I thought it could be cool. I immediately laughed when I put it on because it looks like the puffy shirt from the Seinfeld episode on me, not quite, but it's still funny. I know others could pull this off no problem, but on me I think it's overwhelming and silly.</p> <p>What do you think, puffy shirt or cool shirt?</p>
