My husband's style preferences don't evolve much either. Since I'm looking around at people's clothing attentively on one of the most stylish cities on earth, my preferences are constantly evolving. It's exhausting, honestly.</div><div><br />RainB - I kissed a lot of frogs before I found this jumpsuit. Keep looking if it's not too discouraging. And be willing to alter...</div><div><br />Aquamarine, oddly, I seem to be in between sizes for BR pants. They fit my hips and legs but not my waist/tummy. Go figure... I saw some great blazers in a similar cotton/linen blend there, but I am only mildly successful at wearing blazers so I'm not too tempted. They look great though.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Becky and Lucy :)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034610 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 13:20:32 +0000 Christina F. 2034610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I tried a quick outfit today without the tie at all. It’s going to the tailor though. The waist drops and consequently the pants pooch or too much if the straps aren’t pulled up. </p> <p>I’ll have individual replies later. </p> <p>PS - I stepped back we far as possible but since my mirror is low quality it widens me out, in my opinion. YMMV. Someday I’ll have a closet with doors and not that cheap folding screen type thing that I have now, and I’ll be able to mount a proper mirror in a larger room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034587 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 12:16:59 +0000 Aquamarine 2034587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I wouldn’t size down. Husbands are interesting creatures, aren’t they? LOL.</p> <p>I have the cropped Avery pants in that exact stripe color way hanging in my closet. (I don’t see them on the website anymore.) I haven’t worn them yet but the fabric should be cool and comfortable in the heat. I’ve been impressed by BR pants lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034537 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 09:23:43 +0000 Jenni NZ 2034537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m loving the back story of the husbands the best! What is it about them? It is fun to try to get them to understand our choices sometimes.<br /> I like it and sympathise about the sometimes odd toppers we need for aircon, which I find most annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034528 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 07:23:04 +0000 Lucy 2034528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I really like this! I think it's cute, fresh and perfect for summery. I think it is definitely way more than JFE - I really think it suits you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034517 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 05:55:00 +0000 RainB 2034517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you! And very fresh. Would love an alternative to a dress myself, but every jumpsuit I've tried looks terrible.on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034461 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 01:11:02 +0000 Becky 2034461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great. The size looks right, as you definitely don't want too snug a fit, both for aesthetics and comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034459 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 01:09:02 +0000 Jaime 2034459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DH is also aesthetically oriented but fashion clueless and he doesn't always "get" my new outfit concepts. He is amazingly consistent though - when he likes something and says it he will say the exact same thing the next time I wear it even if it is years later.<br />Anyway, I like the jumpsuit on you! It is never a good idea to focus on one view when in real life no one sees us that way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034426 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 22:58:22 +0000 LaPed 2034426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is adorable on you! I feel like it has some of the breezy-yet-structured vibe you were looking for in linen pants a while back and had trouble finding.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, my DH doesn't "get" jumpsuits either. If I wear a dress or skirt, he's all compliments; any time I pull out the jumpsuit it's radio silence. I think it's the lack of visible leg. And the fact that he associates one-piece dressing with infants and toddlers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034425 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 22:49:52 +0000 Christina F. 2034425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks rachylou and Sterling. Sterling, the quality is very nice and it’s very lightly lined. </p> <p>Bennett, when I have this fit issue it’s actually much more apparent when you look at me from behind. The extra fabric tends to pool in the back. If I take an inch or two off the straps I’ll be good to go. Unfortunately, petite sizing often lengthens the torso of a garment as the numerical size increases. But I actually have a *very* short waist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034418 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 22:22:56 +0000 Bennett 2034418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough to judge fit due to the photo angle apparently, cuz I'm not seeing a too long torso like you are. Otherwise I really like this on you, and hope to see it with your sandals and toppers. You found a really good one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit/page/2#post-2034397 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 21:51:51 +0000 rachylou 2034397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034391 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 21:19:58 +0000 Anonymous 2034391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting thread. &nbsp;</p> <p>I've always done well with Banana Republic. &nbsp;These last two seasons have been especially good. &nbsp;So I imagine the quality is good. &nbsp;I really like it on you. &nbsp;I am drawn to the grey. &nbsp;It looks very sophisticated on you. &nbsp;I would not size down. &nbsp; </p> <p>NYC? &nbsp;I am even more inclined to say "definitely keep." &nbsp;I see you wearing this <u>with flair</u> in NY.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034388 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 21:05:29 +0000 Christina F. 2034388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Runcarla and Isabel - yeah, sorry, my setup sucks. I will get a new apartment within the next two years. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Isabel, the background is that I live in NYC and that tiny bathroom contains my only full length mirror (there is absolutely nowhere else it can be moved to either). If I back up, I'm standing in my bathtub. I am also not good at these kind of pictures to begin with, and I was using this angle on some recommendation I got last time but may have misinterpreted-- so I can't win! :P<br /></div><div><br /></div><div> I usually do outfits of the day at work or in the mirror in my building's lobby. But they've put in dimmer lighting in the latter so that's not even a good option anymore.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034387 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 20:59:32 +0000 Anonymous 2034387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and I'm not even especially jumpsuit-y. I think you did a great job of identifying how to make the idea work for your figure, not too much volume, a belt, trim overall styling. I like the vertical stripes too!</p> <p>The only thing I would change is your photo station, I wish you could take a little distance and not always with a downward angle?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034361 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 19:06:57 +0000 bj1111 2034361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>super cute!&nbsp; very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034355 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 18:49:31 +0000 Carla 2034355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sometimes wish I had an at-home stylist like Angie's Super Sam, don't you? DH doesn't have fun with fashion, and doesn't get tends. However, he supports my interest and snaps pics for me. Gotta love 'em. </p> <p>I'm getting used to your photo angles, and believe that this is actually a pretty great jumpsuit variation. I like the 'stiffer' woven fabric, closer cut of the garment, and the stripes - which all work very well for you. Your ideas for styling (just upthread) are perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034347 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 18:23:06 +0000 Christina F. 2034347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, Angie and Cardiff girl. Angie, I'm terrible with knots but I'll keep that in mind. I may leave the belt off completely with a topper.</div><div><br /></div><div>My other jumpsuits are mostly rayon numbers that will eventually srhink, though this one from Anthro is jersey. They're also all prints withblack backgrounds.&nbsp; I am happy to have found something in a crisper fabric, in a different color, that may have some longevity. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034327 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 17:43:19 +0000 Angie 2034327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's adorable.

He's tall and thin, and it took me years to get him into slim fitting clothes, and now he LOVES them.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Jules - I think the belt doesn't add much, it's true. It's not needed to keep the shape, certainly. I'll try it without the belt in my outfit lab. Why do retailers think we need self-tie belts with everything?</div><div><br /> </div><div>Suz, he's usually more enlightened than that. He was raised by good feminists! I said to him, "Do you think I'm trying to look sexy all the time? What about at work?" I think he may have been trying to say it's not super flattering, but as I said above...meh on that. I explained "the point" to him, which is that a one piece outfit is easy but it's often a pain for me to wear skirts and dresses with bare legs due to chub rub, needing to shave my legs, etc.<br /> </div></p> <p>ETA - I just realized he probably thinks if I’m asking him at all, it’s to figure out if the item is sexy to him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034314 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 16:52:20 +0000 Suz 2034314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you! And your DH is hilarious. OY!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034312 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 16:33:47 +0000 Jules 2034312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d even try it without the belt. I don’t even like it on the model, too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034282 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 15:30:26 +0000 Lucy 2034282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and think it will work well with the toppers and shoes you've shown. The only thing I would do is tie the belt in a simple knot rather than a bow to keep the vertical integrity of the outfit.&nbsp;<br />Also I chuckled at your comment that your husband is "a photographer (amateur) and has great aesthetic judgment but it doesn’t translate to clothing at all," as that describes my husband as well. :)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034267 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 14:36:14 +0000 Christina F. 2034267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, Julie and Sara. Julie, I'm well aware of the need for a topper - in the summer it's sweltering outside but freezing inside (I walk to and from the subway to work 10 min each way). So I'm in sleeveless stuff that I can layer over all summer, anyway. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I am including my ideas for styling here so I can refer to them later when I outfit lab.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034247 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 14:03:19 +0000 Sara L. 2034247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great. They're very flattering in the belly and hip area. I think the fabric will look good at work with a topper.&nbsp; It's pretty subdued. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034245 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 14:02:18 +0000 Julie 2034245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! Though keep in mind that needing to wear a topper makes jumpsuits less practical. Not that that stops me, I think they are fun. Maybe try with a structured denim jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034234 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 13:38:40 +0000 Christina F. 2034234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, I’ll bet. My husband was never closely exposed to anyone with the remotest interest in fashion before me but we’ve been together 11 years by now. (His parents did thank me for helping his non-work style, which I shudder to even think about. Dire.) He’d hate my outfit today, as I’m wearing what he’d think of as Mary Richards pants (he loves old school shows like Mary Tyler Moore, but not the fashion).</p> <p>Anyway, I have enough information to move forward with an outfit lab rather than take it straight back. I crave new silhouettes like this I n the summer when they are easier to achieve. In the winter I wear a lot of skinny jeans and while I achieve good variety of stylings, I get bored and tend to experiment where I can. </p> <p>Thanks, Column! </p> <p>Janet, thank you again and no worries, your opinion is very helpful to me. I don't want to settle because I finally found a good fit (minus a small alteration). As for my husband... his liking it is definitely not a requirement. He’s a photographer (amateur) and has great aesthetic judgment but it doesn’t translate to clothing at all. He usually adjusts to new looks on me or him over time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034232 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 13:36:57 +0000 Janet 2034232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get it totally! I am not sure my sarong pants are the most flattering (perhaps JFE), but my husband pronounced them “interesting” and “cool” so I kept them and feel pretty good about wearing them. I don’t mean to project my issues onto you! There are a lot of jumpsuits out there these days, so I would be picky. The jumpsuit does look cute on you, so if it’s comfortable and meets your flattery requirements, and you’re ok with hubs’ less than enthusiastic reaction, I say rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-jumpsuit#post-2034230 Tue, 11 Jun 2019 13:33:42 +0000 Column 2034230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY flattering...and SEXY! I would wear as-is. </p>
