I like it a lot. Just add mid-calf to high boots. I'm thinking a warm brown, not too dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-akris-punto-imitation#post-1550066 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 07:07:17 +0000 Maneera 1550066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2.

I think you have the proportions just right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-akris-punto-imitation#post-1549925 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:48:43 +0000 unfrumped 1549925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit and shevia, thank you for comments. I'm not committed to the top, but was experimenting to see what might work.</p> <p>Aliona, you may be right. I can't really wear a super-cropped top and so have&nbsp; mostly been wearing the culottes with waist-defining tops to take advantage of the high waist and pleats, and do less volume on top, since most pants are lower rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-akris-punto-imitation#post-1549921 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:43:50 +0000 Anonymous 1549921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on the Akris fandom! I like the culottes, agree with Staysfit that the XS is better. Not sure about the top with them--it could just be the photo angle throwing me off, but for the look to work like I've seen it styled, the top may need to be wider at the hem and shorter to showcase the waistband. I don't know about you, but that is definitely not a functional life look for me ;). I think the culottes could work with other tops though, they seem like a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-akris-punto-imitation#post-1549917 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:41:20 +0000 Jaime 1549917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the second one has the better fit. Like this a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-akris-punto-imitation#post-1549910 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:33:23 +0000 Staysfit 1549910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure how it's supposed to look either but I think the extra small fits you well. I like where the arms hit and the torso fit. I love the color! The entire outfit looks great in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-akris-punto-imitation#post-1549902 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:24:14 +0000 unfrumped 1549902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With apologies to annagybe, since I know nothing about designers, but I have liked Akris Punto (though I haven't been able to get fitted in what I've tried of it), so this analogy popped into my head for fun.</p> <p>Trying on the culottes with a cropped sweater because it's boxy, has a high neckline (for Angie-points) and I  noticed it would match for a monochrome look. Got that color thing to watch out for.</p> <p>This square look was trending but is not my best.  I did look for some woven  summer tops in this genre,but did  not find one I liked, because a) they were mostly in white or black and b) I did not look very much.</p> <p>Pic 1 is S and 2 is XS.. <u>I think</u>. </p> <p>Anyway, the smaller size looks like it might layer better as sleeve is not as boxy, while larger size top looks like maybe it's supposed to be more intentionally boxy.</p> <p>Short-sleeved warm sweaters are seasonally confused but might work in AC. The bigger problem is that short tops like this only work for me over fuller bottoms with high waistbands. And I  have a similar monochrome option with other tops, and also like to tuck in tops with these culottes when I can. And I might have enough of this warm dark red, which is not actually burgundy.</p> <p><i>Other than that</i>,  just throwing it out there. Any comments welcome. </p>
