I like the crop-sleeved orange top best. If you think you'd be cold, I'd do a long-sleeved tissue tee underneath.</p> <p>Don't like the second pair of floral pants at all. I see them slipping too easily into frump-ville if you're not doing hard-rock shoes and accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562190 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:34:41 +0000 Anonymous 562190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I looked again. I think I changed my mind. I'm not too crazy about either one. The Paiges look as if you were growing some sort of skin illness all over your legs, from a distance, and the H&amp;Ms are fitting a tad off on your upper bod.</p> <p>I think the H&amp;Ms are still a good bet for just trying out the trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562155 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:46:48 +0000 Jonesy 562155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried those H&amp;M pants on a while back! They were too low rise for me and the fit was off...I sort of see the same issue with you in these pics. I think, at least with the solid knit, fitted tops, they might be emphasizing your tummy. If you are bent on keeping them, I would pair them with a woven boxy top, say, in silk or denim like Rita suggested. I agree with Diana re. the print/fit of the H&amp;M pair vs. the other pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562147 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:35:06 +0000 Diana 562147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the H&amp;M pants but I would sew the front pockets shut. I don't love the length but, like Angie, I kind of have a poisoned eye for ankle pants. I wonder if there is enough hem allowance to let them out an inch or so? Not loving any of the top options, I'm afraid. I'd try it with something blue and blousier. </p> <p>I much prefer the print on the H&amp;M but I do think the jeans styling of the Paige might be more flattering. Probably not 10X more flattering though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562091 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 13:08:15 +0000 Sarah A 562091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my fave is with 15-16 the canteloupe graphic t! great pants... i wish i had an H&amp;M! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562088 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:59:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 562088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so springy Natalie! If you go for the H&amp;M pants, I would have the front slat pockets removed and stitched shut. They kind of stick out otherwise - I've done this now to a few pairs of pants and it's always been worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562078 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:42:52 +0000 ManidipaM 562078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, I think the salmon and raspberry colours look best on you, esp raspberry --- which leads me to suspect (along with your red top in the last set of photos) that you wear colours that are 'bluer' better than 'yellower' shades (coral, cantaloupe). This also reminds me of Angie's comment on your 'wearing mint' thread, where she felt it was too sage for you (sage is yellower than mint).</p> <p>As for the pants, I can't honestly say I think Paige is 10x better! However, the H&amp;M seems to be cropped. Would you prefer something longer for versatility? In which case Paige is the way to go. Another thing that irks me a bit about the H&amp;M (whose pattern I prefer, maybe because it is darker, but that's a very subjective opinion) is the pockets --- I don't like the way they're sticking out sideways at your hips. Do you plan to sew them shut if you keep the pants? Otherwise, again, go with Paige. Or keep looking for a lower price and better product. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562070 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:22:23 +0000 Anonymous 562070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely prefer the H&amp;M pants. I would rough them up though. Amongs the tops, I like the coral cardi the best, but I'm envisioning some UWP madness with them. They all look too sweet. What about Una's suggestion of a striped top? It sounds fantastic. What about a simple white or black top and jean jacket? Or a leather jacket?<br /> Remember Angie's outfit with the floral Kate Spade skirt, for NYFW? She kept the top and shoe choice minimal, to let the print of the skirt do the talking. That's where I would go wih these pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562067 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:06:58 +0000 modgrl 562067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit I am not super digging these pants. How about pairing them with a silky boxy blouse or a denim shirt? I love the corals on you but don't live any of these combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562051 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:59:17 +0000 Jjsloane 562051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first pants better (still not on the floral pants thing) but would prefer it with woven tops (fitted blouse untucked or drapey top) Not loving the knit tops. For this trend I personally would dress up the pants more. I think a dressy top and little heels or ballet flats so it's intentionally adult (and more your style) IYKWM? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562036 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:42:37 +0000 Kirti 562036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the salmon and raspberry! I didn't think I would like floral pants, but these are kind of cute!</p> <p>I would not pay $200 for a pair of jeans that are on trend (mostly because I'm on a tiny budget) but if you love them, then why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-562008 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:01:34 +0000 Fruitful 562008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the raspberry cardigan is the loveliest colour on you. Not surprising as it seems to be the most saturated! And both of those pants are cool, in different ways. The Paige looks like the texture is nicer, but it's up to you if stuff like that weighs a lot on your decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-561998 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:42:21 +0000 goldenpig 561998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suggestion--I do have a black &amp; white top! If you can't find it online, let me know and I can look for one for you next time I go out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-561997 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:39:32 +0000 catgirl 561997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I would but we don't have an H&amp;M here and they don't do online. At least I don't think so - will have to look! I think you should wear these with a black and white striped top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-561994 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:36:24 +0000 goldenpig 561994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, you should get a pair of these H&amp;M ones! Weren't you the one that started the floral jeans thread? They look similar to the ASOS one in color and print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-561993 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:35:51 +0000 christieanne 561993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pants are cute - so it does seem the H&amp;M is the way to go for now.<br /> I like the raspberry cardi but also all the scroll printed ts - nice mix with the floral. </p> <p>Bold choice ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-561989 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:30:53 +0000 catgirl 561989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just saw those pants in Lucky (the one thing I could afford in there!). LOVE THEM. I prefer them to the Paige because of my color preferences. And there will be plenty more florals to come, so I'd keep the cheap ones to see if you love the trend. It does seem very much your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-which-top-looks-best-with-these-floral-pants#post-561988 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:23:39 +0000 goldenpig 561988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair of wide legged blue floral pants (kind of like silk pajama pants) that I wore a lot in the 90's and sadly eventually donated it, but I have been looking for a new pair of floral pants ever since they've come back in. I bought these size 8 floral pants at H&amp;M. They're cropped ankle length, which I know Angie doesn't care for. But they're only $14.95, which is the perfect price to try out a new trend! The size 8 did not give me muffin top unlike the 6, so I went with the 8 even though the fit is a bit looser. It's 98% cotton 2% spandex but doesn't seem stretchy at all (more like pants than jeans) so I don't think it will bag much.</p> <p>Which of these H&amp;M tops do you think goes best with the floral pants? I'm trying out some new pastel colors for me--sorbet colors, as Angie suggested. Aside from the cut of the tops, which color looks best with my complexion?<br /> 1-5. H&amp;M pants<br /> 6. White graphic T<br /> 7-8. Salmon textured floral T<br /> 9-10. Peach long sleeved T (a little worried this may look too much like pajamas with the pants though)<br /> 11-12. Raspberry cardigan open<br /> 13-14. Raspberry cardigan closed<br /> 15-16. Cantaloupe graphic T</p> <p>I also tried out a pair of Paige Skyline Skinny jeans in floral (17-19), what do you think of that one--is it better than the H&amp;M? The Paiges are $189 though, so they'd have to be 10X as fab, LOL!</p> <p>Thanks so much for your help! </p>
