I think this was the right decision. I think you should have a sweater like this, but that the sweater strangely is not... being what it’s supposed to. I feel the shape is collapsing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177487 Wed, 10 Mar 2021 03:23:34 +0000 Jaime 2177487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, agree that the dropped shoulders aren't perfect for you. And Angie's points too obviously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177460 Wed, 10 Mar 2021 01:23:06 +0000 Anonymous 2177460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems a lot on you, compared to your body and usual style. I don't mind the lantern sleeves per se, but the dropped shoulders exagerate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177431 Wed, 10 Mar 2021 00:04:23 +0000 Anonymous 2177431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177427 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 23:42:01 +0000 Helena 2177427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I actually thought of you as I think it would look great on you.

Fashion forward and a great colour too . Hope you find something you like ! I’m kind of tempted by this one myself . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177425 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 23:26:04 +0000 Helena 2177425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone for your helpful input!</p> <p>Sarah, Angie, unfrumped, thanks for articulating what my spidey sense was telling me - the idea is right, but this particular version of it is a bit too much for <i>my </i>personal style (I love it on others, which is why I tried it out - a few influencers I follow had it and I had to try). I am going to brave the mall in person next week, so now I know what to look out for - a similar idea in a crisper and less oversized version - so a useful exercise!</p> <p>FI, I think this sweater is designed to be worn more as a sweater than a cardigan - if I find a similar style, the idea will be to wear it as such over a tank or cami (but not a long sleeve).</p> <p>Thank you so much all; really appreciate it! xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177418 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 22:31:37 +0000 unfrumped 2177418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that these are pretty balloon-y even for the style- you can wear that type of sleeve but I think would look better in less exaggerated version, because I think it overwhelms you a bit. Or just a fluid- fit regular sleeve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177417 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 22:30:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2177417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s cute, but didn’t you just say you don’t like layering sleeves? What would you wear this over? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177416 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 22:26:42 +0000 slim cat 2177416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems a bit overweening to me ( I maybe stuck in more structured pieces preference). It depends if you love it - then you’ll make it work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177415 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 22:22:46 +0000 Angie 2177415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look is good, and fashion forward. Size is right.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, FWIW, I have a hunch, <b>Helena</b>! The sleeves don't layer that well under coats, which is annoying. And they aren't quite polished enough for<i> your style preferences</i>. A little too slouchy, which I think might annoy you. And they flap about a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>The lantern sleeve is GREAT for you. But you might need a less slouchy version. One that looks neater and more crisp. Like these in Finds. You can't layer over those either. More of a swacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course, just guessing </p> <p>Wear it around the house for a bit, and see how you go......</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177409 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 22:15:34 +0000 SarahD8 2177409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think I will be the spanner here. I very much like the idea of balloon sleeves for you, but with your classic style I think it would suit you better if the cut were more tailored elsewhere— more fitted torso to contrast with the sleeves, or (especially!) a fitted/tailored shoulder rather than the drop shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177404 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 22:00:36 +0000 Carla 2177404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fits you like it fits the model in the advert, so I would say you’ve got the right size. &nbsp;Do you wear sleeves down (like shown) or are you a pusher-upper? </p> <p>FWIW, I like the look on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177403 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 21:56:47 +0000 LaPed 2177403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Definitely a little bit statement-y with the trendy sleeves and big bold buttons, but I think this could be a really fun addition for you if you’re wanting some variety. Great colour and the fit looks good for this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177391 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 21:32:18 +0000 cat2 2177391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The body looks right and the sleeve is supposed to be long, that’s the fashion bit. I would keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177385 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 21:26:47 +0000 Anonymous 2177385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves are too long also. You could have the sleeves narrowed and you might be happy with the results?</p> <p>As much as I've liked oversized things in the past, it's spring here now and trim is the way to go for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-this-cardi#post-2177362 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 20:25:22 +0000 Helena 2177362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi friends, wondering if you think the silhouette of this cardi is overwhelming me or if it's ok? I can't tell if I'm seeing it as too big because it is, or because it's so different from my usual fit (as with the striped tee I was unsure about last time).</p> <p>The fit in the body feels good, but the sleeves are pretty balloon-y (one of the things I like about it theoretically, because it's different from my usual), and the ribbing and buttons are also on the larger-scale size. I think a smaller size would be too short, so it's really probably more about whether the silhouette works than the fit (I think - willing to be corrected on that!).</p> <p>It is comfy and in the elusive cool-friendly beige that's so hard to come by, and would be a nice transitional piece for early spring. But it's not essential, so if it's not right, then it's not right; no big deal.</p> <p>What say you Fabbers? x </p>
