It looks almost identical when I pull it off my shoulders a little, but I really think it's too warm i'll keep an eye out for that silhouette though. </p> <p>It's $160 at the rack, a little bit more than I want to spend for something with limited wearability. Tempting, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1133253 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 22:45:03 +0000 Janet 1133253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The more I look at KL's sweater, the more I think it might have a V-front and V-back. Those kind of necklines tend to fall that way. You may want to search for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1133212 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 22:13:21 +0000 shemarie 1133212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, if you have a J Crew factory outlet anywhere nearby, try that.&nbsp; I have the exact same off-white/heather/oatmeal as your last photo <i>but without </i>the piping.&nbsp; I love, love, love it and have to keep myself from wearing it every single day.&nbsp; (My coloring is similar to yours.)&nbsp; While it doesn't have the dramatic effect of KL's deep, slouchy look, (LOVE THAT), it's nevertheless a versatile piece...especially for warmer climates.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1133201 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 22:04:57 +0000 Ariadne 1133201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous look. &nbsp;I think Diana's second link is your best bet so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1133130 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 21:13:34 +0000 Greyscale 1133130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn it, the previous J Crew boyfriend&nbsp;sweater I'd wanted (not this new one I linked)&nbsp;was still in stock recently - I thought it was long gone. But now it's final sale so I can't buy it to try out. AND I missed all their various "extra x% off sale" promotions.&nbsp;Grrrr. Obviously I should spend more time online shopping. (hah.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132516 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 08:18:33 +0000 Kiwibird 1132516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the KL&nbsp;look! &nbsp;The sweaters you have look good but I'm thinking &nbsp;the sweater Diana linked to (the second one with the wider V neck) may be closer to the look you're wanting to achieve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132511 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 08:08:04 +0000 Debra 1132511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous look that you will look fantastic in.

There's an online version with no piping that comes in either black or winter white - maybe I'll try the white!<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sweaters/Pullover/PRDOVR~A0823/A0823.jsp">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../A0823.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132477 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 07:09:17 +0000 glamourpuss 1132477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you considered trying a men's sweater? &nbsp;The way KL's sweater fits with the extra-wide neck and&nbsp;through the arms and body look more like a men's cut than an over-sized women's to me. &nbsp;I could be way off base tho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132475 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 07:04:30 +0000 ManidipaM 1132475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I love both of these new choices. They have the same vibe without the cold-shouldering.</p> <p>You said you wear white shirts. That last pale sweater should work great for you then, no? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132470 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 06:56:51 +0000 Greyscale 1132470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This Vince sweater is just about identical (though I don't have it pulled off my shoulders). I'm not sure I'd wear it, though. It's merino and cashmere and probably too warm for me.</p> <p>There's also one at J Crew that I like but the store didn't have it in solid colors yet - here's an xs (navy) and s (off white). I think I'm more likely to wear this one but it doesn't come in charcoal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132368 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 04:23:42 +0000 CocoLion 1132368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great look to go for. &nbsp;I do agree with the others that the sweater needs a bigger fit with a deeper v to achieve this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132358 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 04:10:19 +0000 Suz 1132358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Anna's right. Hers is cashmere, and the V neck is much wider and more shallow. Diana is also right that Eileen Fisher might have something like this. It's a great look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132317 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 03:32:20 +0000 Janet 1132317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the other ladies have already aimed you in the right direction. I'm just seeing this now and really love that look KL is wearing. I wouldn't mind doing something similar. I have a charcoal James Perse sweatshirt that gives a similar effect, although it's not a deep V neck so much as a wide scoop. I adore that wide deep V neckline -- it's one of the most flattering on me, so if I ever see a top like that, I'll let you know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132311 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 03:26:53 +0000 annagybe 1132311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking again at Kate, I think it's cashmere. It has a certain heft to the drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132308 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 03:23:09 +0000 Anonymous 1132308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should try a large or even XL in the Zara top. You might also look at men's V neck sweaters.<br /> If you want to try an inexpensive tee in this shape, Target has some.<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/p/mossimo-women-s-long-sleeve-lightweight-v-tee-assorted-colors/-/A-14614621#prodSlot=large_1_19" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/mossim.....large_1_19</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132298 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 03:16:58 +0000 Gigi 1132298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that this top should go back. No matter how big you get it, it's not going to do the same thing. The V-neck really needs to be wider in proportion to the width of the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132280 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 03:01:41 +0000 Jaime 1132280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your inspiration picture! Agree that this sweater needs a deeper v, or bigger neckline of some sort. But you have given me an idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1132002 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 23:18:19 +0000 Kristin L 1132002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with the ladies above. I think it needs to be a bit bigger to get that exaggerated look. I think what you have on in your pic looks pretty and would look great with a dark belt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131989 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 23:07:26 +0000 catgirl 1131989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love her too. And I agree with Anna, you need to really exaggerate the idea of what you have on. Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131969 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:54:19 +0000 Deborah 1131969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate is one of my style inspirations also.&nbsp; And I have this photo of her pinned too:)&nbsp; I think your outfit works but it's not so much a reflection of Kate's look which is much more drapey and slouchy&nbsp; (pants and sweater).&nbsp; I do think you would rock the slouchy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131962 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:52:20 +0000 Diana 1131962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eek, my earlier link went to the wrong Michael stars top.&nbsp; This is the one I meant to link.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/michael-stars-luxe-slub-relaxed-v-neck-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/michael-.....neck-black</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131955 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:49:01 +0000 Caro in Oz 1131955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Anna - there is something about the weight of her knit too which would probably help with the drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131947 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:44:26 +0000 gryffin 1131947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale - I think the sweater is very pretty and very flattering on you.&nbsp; However, if you want the same oversized "vibe" then I think you'd be happier with something that has more volume.&nbsp; KL's v neck is so oversized the effect is almost &nbsp;a portrait collar.&nbsp; Only you can decide if this sweater captures your version of her look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131942 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:41:40 +0000 Greyscale 1131942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I almost&nbsp;thought hers was heavier than the Zara one (which is very lightweight merino). The arms of hers bunch in a way that I interpreted as more weight. Maybe hers is a thick cotton tee?</p> <p>But anyway, you're all totally right - the V neck is totally wrong for that look and the drape isn't working. Now that I look more carefully, the shoulders on hers are way off her real shoulders.</p> <p>The Zara sweater is lovely and if I needed a regular fitted V neck I'd keep the small, but I'd rather save the money for something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131938 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:38:57 +0000 Diana 1131938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: linked the wrong thing.&nbsp; See below.<a href="http://www.zappos.com/michael-stars-slub-long-sleeve-v-neck-tee-black~1" rel="nofollow"></a></p> </p> <p>Eileen Fisher is probably also a good bet for this type of thing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131937 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:37:31 +0000 Diana 1131937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Anna and April.&nbsp; You need a finer and/or drapier fabric (i think Kate's may actually be more like a tee?) and to size up more.&nbsp; I would also add that you need to look for something with a wide, shallow v neck.&nbsp; The neckline on the Zara sweater will never be wide enough to give the look you want without also being way too low in front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131929 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:31:44 +0000 April 1131929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, go with a finer-gauge&nbsp;sweater and size up enough to have it drip off your shoulders. &nbsp;Divine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-copy-kate-lanphear-kr#post-1131916 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:14:11 +0000 annagybe 1131916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is big enough, nor does it have enough drape. </p>
