Why? The value contrast is lower, and the jacket is more minimalist.<br /> I like the 3rd one least because the jacket looks busy, and a lot (to me) combined with the pattern of the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2188026 Mon, 19 Apr 2021 14:52:06 +0000 Chris987 2188026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes <b>Angie</b>, complimented :-)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks <b>Jules,</b> yes a different top is a good idea</p> <p>Thanks <b>Style Fan</b>! i know you wear earth tones a lot so love to hear your ideas.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186776 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 20:46:55 +0000 Style Fan 2186776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, you already have lots of great suggestions.&nbsp; My favourite looks are the first two.&nbsp; I like the proportions of the jackets with the pants in look #1 and #2.&nbsp; I also think cognac boots would really look fantastic with #1.&nbsp; Lisa had some great points about the top.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186709 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 16:45:40 +0000 Jules 2186709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great suggestions here and I look forward to seeing the cognac jacket and boots if you decide to post it. I think at that point maybe the camo pants become neutral backdrop to the cognac complement but we will see! My honest other gut reaction is that I would prefer to see all of these with a different top, the black turtleneck feels heavy. However this may be down to personal preference. But I’m wondering if you could simply try another black top you already have with something like a crew neck, and whether that might make a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186706 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 16:09:41 +0000 Angie 2186706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your cinnamon boots will look great with the cinnamon jacket!

Will have to think about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186659 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 04:14:13 +0000 Anonymous 2186659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Gigi said. Those were my thoughts. I like the second pair of your booties best for this outfit, but either would work. The jackets in 2 and 3 wash you out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186655 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 03:39:56 +0000 Gigi 2186655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like no. 1 the best--I think there's something about the warmth of the cognac that works with your natural coloring. It seems that the lighter jackets in pics 2 and 3 wash you out a bit. I like the outfit formula on you--the colors work well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186651 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 03:05:02 +0000 rachylou 2186651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 the best, all deep tones that I feel enhance one another... eta: I also feel the first jacket dresses up the camo whereas the second feels a bit too fancy to me and the last a little too casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186646 Wed, 14 Apr 2021 02:49:24 +0000 notsaf 2186646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see these with white or another light neutral under.

I think it is a combination of the color of the jacket and the more tailored fit - great juxtaposition with the casualness of the camo. All are good though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186589 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 20:28:19 +0000 Chris987 2186589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Janet!</b> Yeah I do love the shape of that jacket, and have it dup'd in burgundy, but both&nbsp;probably read more "fall" than "spring" unless I go with much lighter companion pieces as several&nbsp;have suggested. </p> <p><b>lyn67,</b> of COURSE I want you to be honest! lol. What you've said is what I'm feeling - dark booties and tops feel&nbsp;"winter-ish" and lighter colors feel more "spring-ish". The tricky part&nbsp;is that we keep having days where it's winter in the morning and&nbsp;spring in the afternoon and I feel like I've forgotten how to deal with that after being cooped up for a year :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Good point <b>Jaileen</b> about the safari jacket feeling a bit military and of <br />course the camo is too. I have enormous respect for everyone<br /> who has served, past, and present (including our own LeDonna, my Dad, one of my brothers, several of my Mom's&nbsp;male cousins, DH's aunt, etc, etc...) but as a fashion look it's a bit too tough for me. </p> <p><b>Celia, </b>yes, yes, and yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186588 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 20:14:06 +0000 celia 2186588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one the better because of the color contrast and the shape of the jacket but have a feeling that #2 suits your coloring IRL.<br />For #3 I am having a bit of trouble reconciling the weight of jacket and the turtleneck but could see a lighter fabrication top underneath.<br />You already got great suggestions , hope to see more styling of those pants . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186557 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 17:23:50 +0000 JAileen 2186557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first two better than the last. &nbsp;The last one’s jacket is kind of military, then with the camo, it’s too much military IMO. &nbsp;I guess I like just a tad of military. &nbsp;:)</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>I’m trying to find some grey camo. &nbsp;So the pattern, but not the military color. </p> <p>ETA: I really like the jacket in 3, just not with camo.</p> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186550 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 17:04:49 +0000 lyn67 2186550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you really want me to be honest? I love them all 3 -the black boots and top is&nbsp; great for early spring- so not too sunny or warm yet- and all&nbsp;3 jackets look great here,&nbsp;&nbsp; too. For later spring would change up the boots and top combo to a lighter color, say white or ditto to&nbsp;<b><i> lisap</i></b> said.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186549 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 17:04:47 +0000 Janet 2186549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 the most, maybe because of the shape of that jacket.

You've gotten great suggestions already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186548 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 16:52:08 +0000 Chris987 2186548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks<b> kkards</b>, good memory! I do have TWO pairs of booties in colors similar to that cognac jacket. Shown below. They are actually more different in color than it appears in the finds.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186547 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 16:49:15 +0000 Chris987 2186547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas Angie, THANKS! As far as other cognac items - I have boots, a bag, and not much else. I've been thinking of looking for a top in that color. For example Madewell seems to carry a lot of earth tones. I grabbed a few finds for inspo..&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186545 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 16:43:22 +0000 kkards 2186545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all 3, in the order that you’ve shown<br />#1 is my fav, i like the darker jacket, and while i love it as is, if i recall from a WIW you posted a couple of weeks ago, i think you own booties that are this color....I’d love to see this outfit with those booties</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186529 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 16:03:31 +0000 Angie 2186529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like ALL three jackets, <b>Chris</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like combination #3 the least because the Summery topper is best without a Wintery turtleneck, IYKWIM. The first two look seasonally complementary, and work well.&nbsp;</p> <p>For jacket #3, lighten up with a white/light top and/or bottoms. Lighter footwear too, maybe. Light blue, olive, tan, mustard, cinnamon....examples to get you going.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the intensity of the cognac! Do you have an item in that colour that you can add to the outfit?&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186515 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 15:37:33 +0000 Chris987 2186515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>RunCarla</b>! Good point about olive/"orange" being opposites on the color wheel. I&nbsp;do like to wear soft orange/pumpkin shades and cognac is really their cousin. I too think the safari jacket looks a bit long, it's not just the camera angle. I need to try it with some other pants, maybe slimmer ones. Interesting that you also suggested lilac - I've had&nbsp;olive and lilac/lavender on my "wish list" for a LONG time but haven't found many choices&nbsp;in the lilac/lavender family. Maybe there are more around this year. </p> <p><b>Suz, </b>thanks, and good point, the cognac does feel more fall-ish than the lighter tan. I do have some light&nbsp;tan sneakers, I should try them with these outfits. And yes the safari jacket does seem a little&nbsp;long. </p> <p><b>Slim cat</b>, thanks, and yes gold jewelry is a natural addition here. Good luck with&nbsp;your outfit experiments! It won't be 75 here for another few months :-(&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186510 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 15:26:52 +0000 slim cat 2186510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 and #3 a bit more like @lisa p mentioned. The color and the shape of the handbag could add more neutral/light color to the outfit.&nbsp;<br />I think adding a bit of gold jewelry is good idea.<br />Funny but I tried to do the same camo pants yesterday with black camisole, white and grey striped shirt and silver/black jewelry ( 75 degree at CA ) and was not in love with results. Will follow all the suggestions to play with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186507 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 15:17:55 +0000 Suz 2186507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the intensity of the cognac. But I might wear that particular combination more often in fall. I agree with <b>Lisa</b> that for spring, it feels a bit dark overall.&nbsp;</p> <p>The other two options are great for spring with a lighter (or olive) top and lighter footwear. Like <b>Carla</b>, I prefer the lines/ proportions of the second jacket to the third, but also agree it might be camera angle. Plus, these look like jackets for different purposes. Maybe sneakers with jacket 3?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186501 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 15:03:37 +0000 Carla 2186501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good workshop exercise. &nbsp;I see what Lisap sees in in #2, but I like #1 just a smidge more (they are both&nbsp;<i>excellent&nbsp;</i>combinations). &nbsp;The jacket in #1 has a little bit more intensity - almost orange - so a complement from across the colour wheel for the olive/camo. &nbsp;The jacket in #2 bookends your hair perfectly (as does #3). The lines and proportion of the jacket in #3 aren’t as pleasing as the shorter #1+#2, but that could be a factor of photography angle. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>FWIW, I wear earth tones like this all the time and pair butterscotch and golden beige with olive (see Finds below). &nbsp;I also style my olive chinos with white, navy, and lilac.&nbsp;</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186499 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 14:47:04 +0000 Chris987 2186499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT suggestions <b>Lisa p</b>! That's exactly the type of thing I was hoping for. I think I agree about the cognac jacket, although I do have boots in that color. It just doesn't quite "go".&nbsp; I do have a couple of sweaters in pale tan and one in light blue&nbsp; (I'm getting out my spring sweaters today), and have medium brown booties too. I've been looking for some lighter tan-ish colored shoes for a while and that would work well. I've been looking at pale olive tops too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186496 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 14:40:13 +0000 Anonymous 2186496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are nice outfits Chris - and right up my alley too &nbsp;I'd be tempted to try a different top under the jackets - like a t or linen sweater in a pale olive or something tonal with one of the jackets.....and with lighter footwear to bookend your hair colour. &nbsp;Of the 3 posted, I like 2 and 3 the best - the cognac jacket isn't really tying in anywhere (but you could try it with cognac boots or sneakers if you have those). &nbsp;I wear my darker camo pants with pale blue, pale olive, or even pink ; something to lighten up the look and add some femininity . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-feedback-camo-earth-tones#post-2186495 Tue, 13 Apr 2021 14:32:04 +0000 Chris987 2186495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been doing some spring outfit creation from my closet, and decided to tackle these camo pants. I tend to wear olive tones exclusively with black and white, and wanted to try something different. </p> <p>For this session, I'm wearing these pants with a black turtleneck and booties, with the three structured earth-toned jackets I own. The first two I’ve had for several years; the safari one was new last spring and has never been worn (thank you Covid ).&nbsp; I’d probably add gold jewelry and maybe a scarf but skipped those for now. </p> <p> I have the light tan zip jacket (#2) in black also, which would be my default.</p> <p><b><i>Which one do you prefer, and why? </i></b></p> <p><b><i>Thanks for all your inputs!</i></b> </p> <p>p.s. It’s spring here, and although these may not seem like spring colors, they are colors I wear year round, and it’s going to be cloudy this week with temps not much above 50F, so this IS an outfit I'd wear now.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
