Glad you kept it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2076091 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 20:48:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2076091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear you're keeping and wearing it, Janet. It looks fab. And you could say it shortens the torso perhaps, or you could say it lengthens the legs. In my book, it looks really great. (Another short torso reporting in. I'm loving the more cropped options available these days.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2076034 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 18:27:40 +0000 Janet 2076034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Chris, that's a great sweater! Definitely reminiscent of the one I got. I also reminds me of my old Aiko sweater from years ago -- black cashmere with white leather patches that go down the sleeves. I still have it and love it but I tend to save it for cold weather so I can layer a thin top underneath, and I kind of baby it too because it's dry clean only. I'm a sucker for a sporty stripe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075950 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:13:47 +0000 nuancedream 2075950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater is an absolute knockout on you, Janet!&nbsp; I don't notice your short torso because what I see, besides how fab you look, are your legs that go on for days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075945 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:05:07 +0000 Chris987 2075945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sweater is gorgeous, and perfect for you, glad you decided to keep it! I love Rebecca Minkoff and have tried several&nbsp; clothing items but they never fit me right. I found this TH sweater in a similar style that I'm considering...it's not quite as interesting a design as yours but might actually fit me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075793 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 20:21:47 +0000 Laurie 2075793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweater, congratulations on finding tops for high waisted jeans/pants. Love the leather coat/scarf/amazing purse!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075790 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 19:58:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2075790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. It's the perfect color and it makes your legs look soo long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075717 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 15:03:50 +0000 Janet 2075717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, I think your assessment is pretty spot on! I don't do body con ribbed tops anymore either -- this kind of fit nicely disguises a lot of my extra fluff! LOL&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075700 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 14:35:45 +0000 Jules 2075700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a fellow short-waister I think this type of welted sweater is ideal for higher waisted pants, actually. The welt coming slightly over the hips lengthens the torso to my eye, and maintains an overall subtle hourglass silhouette which wider, crop-styled tops do not. And more forgiving than a body con ribbed top (now I’m just projecting my own issues which you don’t have, lol). I hope more tops like this appear at retail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075691 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 13:41:16 +0000 Janet 2075691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reassurance, everyone! The sweater is a hit. I wore it last night to go have dinner with my husband at a new-to-us place, and it wound up being the perfect choice because we got seated in a closed-in outdoor patio on a brisk night. It was perfectly pleasant wearing a cotton sweater. Hubs likes it too (always a good thing!). </p> <p>I have now successfully updated my F/W knitwear. The collection was looking tired when I pulled it out at the end of the summer, as I think every sweater I owned was at least three years old, some as old as 15+ years! The exception was the nice basic solid-color V-necks I found last year from Boden and Rag &amp; Bone. So I was in the market for a couple of new *interesting* and modern sweaters, and this is just the thing I needed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but/page/2#post-2075690 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 13:28:17 +0000 Elizabeth P 2075690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great sweater!&nbsp; Glad you decided to keep it.&nbsp; My eye is not quite adjusted to the shorter length, but I can see that it's "right".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075686 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 13:18:52 +0000 Joyce B 2075686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks perfect for high waisted pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075685 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 13:09:51 +0000 Bijou 2075685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you kept it - I 100% agree with Helena - it looks amazing on you and great with your flared black pants and jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075645 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 04:32:33 +0000 rachylou 2075645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is excellent!

It looks freaking amazing on you. I want that sweater because it's awesome, and because I want it to make my legs look a gazillion miles long like it does your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075611 Thu, 07 Nov 2019 01:37:14 +0000 Christina F. 2075611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look great and feels very quintessentially you.

You see how the shirt sits just on the belt loops area and they are slightly visible, I still think a basic black belt could be worn in the loops. Being the bottom of the shirt will move slightly the belt will be a nice accessory visible instead of empty belt loops. It will match your skirt and boots too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075576 Wed, 06 Nov 2019 22:59:27 +0000 Janet 2075576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I won’t be tucking this — no good on my body type and it’s short enough that it will never stay tucked. </p> <p>I have several pants and jeans that have high enough roses to wear with this. At least 3-4 off the top of my head. It also could work with my black skirt and tall black boots, hmm. </p> <p>I’m on Team Wear. Wearing it tonight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075574 Wed, 06 Nov 2019 22:54:59 +0000 Anonymous 2075574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top looks slightly short, but the colors match well. Can we see it tucked with belted jeans. I think if the top was longer it would go better with thinner leg jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075566 Wed, 06 Nov 2019 22:36:30 +0000 hereforthecake 2075566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you! I think the length is perfect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075562 Wed, 06 Nov 2019 22:27:36 +0000 LaPed 2075562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I want one! Love the sporty-retro ski look. It's amazing on you and combined with the flares your legs look a mile long (in the good way!). As long as you don't mind having a top you can't wear with the lowest rises, I think it's a keep. Do you have skirts you could try with it, or dresses you could wear it over? I get a fair amount of mileage out of shorter sweaters that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-love-this-sweater-but#post-2075555 Wed, 06 Nov 2019 21:36:37 +0000 Bennett 2075555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it sirs nicely with that banded bottom.
