It is interesting to see the design of the herringbone trousers with a gathered waistband at the back. The trousers look smart yet relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-711793 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 18:21:02 +0000 Anonymous 711793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modern Classic was my first impression.

Love it and think you'd look amazing in this type of style Julie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710964 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 16:56:03 +0000 nicoleb 710964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol @ Traci with the "elegant grandpa" description! XD I love it. </p> <p>I like looking at this outfit, I won't bother to try and describe it because that's already been done, but the more tomboy or androgynous looks i see on here just convince me further that this is just really not my style. </p> <p>But like i said, I do enjoy seeing it on others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710956 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 16:50:16 +0000 RoseandJoan 710956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara you are a diamond, thank you. Sorry for not providing the link in the first instance :-(</p> <p>Laura and Angie, I do like to wear heals but those are a little crazy. I would add an oxford or a mid heel into the mix depending on the chores of the day.</p> <p>So step one, would be to acquire a jacket of this type to add to the things I already own. I'm excited.</p> <p>@ Traci, elegant grandpa is a great description and really did make me LOL.</p> <p>Thank you so much for your feedback. It is really interesting to see how we all interpret a look.</p> <p>&lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710872 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:29:59 +0000 Debbie 710872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say it is a stunning outfit.

Where is the romance? The blouse is forever classic - but that item happens to be very on trend at the moment - so it's a little confusing.</p> <p>You'd look beautiful in this look, Jules. What will you pop on your feet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710804 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:09:05 +0000 Traci 710804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to find a better sounding adjective for it, but when I think of the slouchier menswear inspired styles, I think "grandpa". So I might call this look "Elegant Grandpa". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710797 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:03:36 +0000 MNsara 710797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie is gone, but I searched for more details too and found this<br /> <a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Flecked-Herringbone-Trousers-With-Roll-Hem/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2434706&#038;cid=2623&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=200&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Multi" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-F.....;clr=Multi</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710796 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:03:13 +0000 Mellllls 710796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't have a good definition of the look but i do like it. it has modern classic elements to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710792 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:59:47 +0000 Angie 710792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you mind providing the link so that I can see the photo on a larger scale, Jules? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710774 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:42:17 +0000 shiny 710774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't get modern classic with this at all. I am curious how others do? Or maybe I don't know how that term is defined. To me this is more of a trendy, rather than classic, look? </p> <p>My first reaction was "Katherine Hepburn" but then I did a google search and her pants were wide legged. However I still think it applies: it's a feminine take on menswear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710764 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:32:44 +0000 Laura 710764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, I think this outfit is completely you. The slouchy trousers and long sweater coat (I have a navy coat from last year at Banana Republic and it's incredible) are so you. I'd say the important element is that the sweater coat has defined shoulder seams, on the shoulder, so it doesn't look like a cascading cardigan. It needs to have a tailored appearance on top to fit with the menswear feel.</p> <p>p.s. Not sure I love the shoes with it. You can do better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710762 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:29:57 +0000 MNsara 710762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm drawn to this too! Love the minimalism, the striking light &amp; dark, the ease/slouch in it, nice bit of structure in the trousers, and maybe in the coat. Looks to me more European than New York urban.</p> <p>I get Eileen Fisher allusions with the ease, the proportions, and the color pallete.</p> <p>It reminds me of street style pics from some fashion week.</p> <p>This is why I've never defined my own style. I can't describe anything I just keep revolving around euro modern, classic with a twist. But what is the 'twist'? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710753 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:18:53 +0000 Diana 710753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luxe Tomboy.</p> <p>Like, an androgynous look but with soft, luxurious fabrics and shapes. Sweater must be cashmere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710743 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:08:08 +0000 RoseandJoan 710743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay so we are seeing modern classic, tomboy, minimal but with a softer or more romantic edge. That gives me a starting point and actually some of these words I would already use to describe my style. I would need to work on the simplification of my look with neutral pieces and minimal styling. This could be fun.</p> <p>I have been eyeing this mac for a while but the colour gives me pause, if it happened to come in black or navy or even grey I wold be frantically saving the pennies.<br /> <a href="http://www.fredperry.com/women/jackets/full-mac.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fredperry.com/women.....l-mac.html</a> I think this style of mac may fit the new brief. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710725 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:40:34 +0000 Vildy 710725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, there is a feminine/romantic element in the *way* the top piece is worn, almost like a cape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710720 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:33:40 +0000 Deborah 710720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would call this Modern Classic. I could absolutely see you wearing this look:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710709 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:16:50 +0000 celia 710709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see you wearing something like this.<br /> I don't know what to call it but to me it looks like a kind of slouchy polished.There is no apparent structure in any of the items but the fact that the top and bottom are low contrast creates a long line which makes it look polished.Does this make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710700 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:05:57 +0000 Inge 710700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not entirely sure either, Julie, but I could absolutely see you wear an outfit like this. I love the idea of the long coat on you, combined with slouchy or wide-legged trousers.</p> <p>My first thought was: Smart Casual (Modern) Classic with a bit of Androgyny/Tomboy thrown into the mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710692 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 11:56:25 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 710692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. It is a longer slim coat, slightly loose fitting neutral pant and white tee. I think it is a manfriend classic casual look.</p> <p>I'm sort of joking. Whatever it is, I am drawn to it too. I appreciate the simplicity and calmness of the neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710687 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 11:28:18 +0000 Claudia 710687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modern Classic Minimalism?</p> <p>I like this look very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710683 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 10:46:40 +0000 Vildy 710683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dunno. Maybe a new style: Romantic Casual? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-define-this-style-1#post-710673 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 10:00:55 +0000 RoseandJoan 710673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I came across this image scanning the new arrivals at ASOS. I am very drawn to the pieces which form the look but more than that I feel there is something about the photo which defines how I wish to dress now.</p> <p>I would really appreciate your help in distilling the look, how would you define it and do you think it is compatible with my personal style?</p> <p>Thank you</p> <p>ETA link <a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Flecked-Herringbone-Trousers-With-Roll-Hem/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2434706&#038;cid=2623&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=200&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Multi" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-F.....;clr=Multi</a> </p>
