But I often wear a top that I can semi-tuck to hide the elastic waist and ties.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-styling-tips#post-1692944 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 16:26:35 +0000 L'Abeille 1692944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer to wear a longer top with something asymmetric about it, because my wide linen pants have gathered or tie waistbands that do things to my tummy that I prefer not to display! Favourites are a tunic-length blouse with very cutaway sides--so like deep slits, but very scooped-- and a woven tank with asymmetric pointed bottom hem and layers. These are the closest I get to Lagenlook; the wide pants demand something flowy yet there needs to be some kind of structure or bare skin to not overwhelm me.</p> <p>Although a couple of times lately I have worn my navy ones with a striped top and a belt to create a highwaisted look, plus a topper. I feel very Kate Hepburn, but haven't taken a photo yet, I don't want to break the illusion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-styling-tips#post-1692867 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 14:08:03 +0000 Angie 1692867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a shorter gauzy high-low top in cotton or linen?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-styling-tips#post-1692866 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 14:00:25 +0000 Eliza 1692866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you put your finger on what isn't working about the tops you tried?</p> <p>I find with wide leg pants, excess length or volume in a top can be problematic. Sometimes a shorter, more structured top will help with balance and proportion.I have also seen structured tunic styles work with this look. &nbsp;It is just tricky to grab the right length and body skimming fluidity needed. Also, the nature of the fabric paired with linen is important to me. I find some synthetics can fight the season and textured quality of the linen pieces. No quick answers here, but I empathize with the dilemma.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-styling-tips#post-1692858 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 13:48:12 +0000 always trying 1692858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how do you style your wide leg linen pants?&nbsp; I bought a pair in a nice light shade of grey.&nbsp; I have a lot of cotton, linen, etc. tops that I thought would work with them, but am finding I am not hit on anything yet.&nbsp; Was planning to wear them Thursday to a casual lunch.&nbsp; I do not wear sleeveless, and plan to wear either flat sandals or the ones in the photo. It is the tops that are the problem.&nbsp; </p>
