I'd love to see it in a monochromatic white/silver outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1798091 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 15:51:00 +0000 Angie 1798091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MUCH better.</p> <p>You shan't regret keeping that top, Anchie. Promise.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1798041 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 13:08:10 +0000 anchie 1798041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I decided to listen to Angie and to keep also #4, together with 2 navy that I decided before. I did play with the gray one in my closet and of course Angie is right, it goes nicely with many of my jackets. And I never intended to wear it on its own anyway. I took a picture in the daylight to show you the better color of the sweater and of my hear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797907 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 00:16:50 +0000 jill58 1797907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie makes a good point. I often prefer a light colored layer under jackets, however, on their own I much prefer the darker tops. When I clicked through your photos those were the ones I liked right away. I prefer darker tops myself--lighter neutrals make me feel washed out. If you're not crazy about the lighter colored tops, I would keep looking. I actually liked the grey sweater but #3 and #5 are the real standouts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797902 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 00:07:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 1797902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided before I read any comments. I love # 2 white and # 3 stripe. I'm afraid I really don't like #1, and find #s 4 and 5 a bit boring. Depends what you want them for! I didn't comment on the Boden thread but totally agreed with your decision there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797898 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 23:56:26 +0000 Angie 1797898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sticking up for the dull colour in #4: <ul> <li>bad light</li> <li>when you wear business casual - you need simple and sleek layering pieces like this to wear under jackets. Add jewellery lipstick and a good jacket, and Bob's Your Uncle. The colour moulds into the outfit.&nbsp;</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797815 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:03:24 +0000 Elle 1797815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not enthused about the lighter tops so I would pass on them. &nbsp;The white one is a bit see through and seems to need a camisole and the other colors (at least on the screen) are not as flattering as the navy tops (which I LOVE on you). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797805 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 19:19:09 +0000 LaPed 1797805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2, 3, and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797804 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 19:09:03 +0000 Kathleen M 1797804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it helps, I think the white top looks great on you. But if it's not making you happy, I think you should move on; there are lots of white tops out there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797789 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 17:53:57 +0000 Anonymous 1797789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Challenge accepted!!! &nbsp;</p> <p>Number 1:&nbsp; Just read your comment on this one. &nbsp;Never mind what I wrote. &nbsp;I agree with your decision. &nbsp;</p> <p>Number 2: &nbsp;I loathe all tops that show the underlying garments. &nbsp;I will never get used to seeing this. &nbsp;It is distracting and rarely flattering. &nbsp;I also feel the white is too stark for your coloring. &nbsp;I feel your pain regarding finding white tops. &nbsp;</p> <p>Number 3: &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp;</p> <p>Number 4: &nbsp;It doesn't seem to fit you well. &nbsp;It bags near the base, perhaps? &nbsp;Or it shows too clearly the layers beneath? &nbsp; Keep looking. &nbsp;There are better light colored tops out there. &nbsp;</p> <p>Number 5: &nbsp; My absolute favorite of the five. &nbsp;Gorgeous. &nbsp;Flawless. &nbsp;Perfect. &nbsp;I know the fabric feels wonderful against the skin. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797739 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 15:06:24 +0000 anchie 1797739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems that we all in agreement that navy stripes and navy elbow sleeve one are both keepers. Those are the two that I like the most.<br /> There were not much love for the long sleeve gray one, and I also agree with that. It does not fit me that well, sleeves are very long and there is some weird bunching arround the waist. Color is also not the best on me. That one is return for sure.<br /> Now to the hard part.<br /> White one did receive some positive feedback. I am very short on white summer tops which are essential for me. I have been looking for them unsuccessfully for some time now. They are usually to thin and transparent or to clingy. This one have some potential but the style is not really me.<br /> Gray elbow sleeve one is nothing special, I am not wowed with its color, but as Angie said, it can be useful as layering piece. And I really can use some lighter color in my spring tops collection. I am just not very excited about that one. Should I keep looking? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797735 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 15:01:22 +0000 Anonymous 1797735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is an odd grey colour.<br /> The rest look fab, and I am a hard -core navy lover so of course love those in you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797728 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 14:47:22 +0000 Elizabeth P 1797728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white and navy's on you as well.&nbsp; I also agree the grey ones wash you out.&nbsp; This is exactly what I'd say if I were to try on the same batch of tops, so either your colouring is very similar to mine, or I'm just projecting :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797723 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 14:30:53 +0000 Angie 1797723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THE STRIPE.

And I"m with Mochi in thinking the others are a bit dull for your colouring. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797695 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 13:42:51 +0000 Mochi 1797695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also echo Suz about the navy. The others: my first reaction was that they wash you out, but then I thought that they'd work well as layering pieces (rather than stand-alones). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797680 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 12:53:59 +0000 Suz 1797680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure whether I am biased here, but I really like the navy ones on you. (I might have a navy short sleeve on its way to me, too, LOL). With your silver hair, the dark is striking and the fit looks good on those. The other colour is not as dramatic but might be useful -- I am not sure about that. &nbsp;</p> <p>I like the first one on you, also, but the sleeves look long so I wonder about the sizing. The white linen also looks good and you would not have grinning with lighter trousers -- it would be a good layering piece under a jacket with white pants.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-banana-republic#post-1797674 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 12:37:13 +0000 anchie 1797674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you have been so helpful during my recent Boden K/R, I want to use your collective wisdom again. I just received package with 5 sweaters from Banana Republic. I am sure about two of them that I will keep (can you guess which two?) but I am very undecided about the rest. Please help me, need your honest feedback.<br /> Sweaters in question are those in finds. </p>
