I was just on a panel this week with a lady in a very similar cut black suit. She looked trim and sleek, esp with her black turtleneck and heels to finish the outfit. </p> <p>I LOVE your top and think the suit looks good. My only question on the pants is how they are fitting at the bottom. Do you need a little tailoring there? Not sure if it’s a PPL question or maybe they are tapering too early? Just worth a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062353 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 18:38:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2062353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats (low key, because I don't want to jinx you) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062248 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 11:12:47 +0000 anchie 2062248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YEY, happy that it passed Angie’s approval.<br /> shevia, thank you<br /> lyn67 and Bijou - I am glad that I am not the only one who feels like this. Traditional suits are not me, it has to have something like peplum on the jacket, non traditional pants, interesting details, or non neutral color.<br /> Bijou - this suit is stunning, I don’t remember if you modeled it for us?<br /> Fashintern - hm, no, my spring summer things were too big actually, but maybe I haven’t specified it, I usually just say that something just doesn’t fit because weight is such a sensitive issue and I didn’t want to sound like bragging:) I lost almost 15kg since beginning of the year when I introduced some lifestyle changes as part of my new year resolution. I didn’t want to invest a lot in my spring summer wardrobe because I wasn’t sure if I will be able to keep the weight off, but now I almost have nothing to wear - my whole fall winter wardrobe is about 2 sizes too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062244 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 10:19:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2062244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the updated look of fitted but not skinny or tight pants in a suit, hope you enjoy wearing this one, and the pieces separately too. </p> <p>Last winter’s suit is 2 sizes too big? Weren’t a lot of your spring/summer things too small? Sounds like there is a seasonal component to your weight shifts—gaining in winter, losing in summer, such that fall &amp; spring are the only times you weight is stable, maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062238 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 09:57:24 +0000 Bijou 2062238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie - I have really struggled with trousers feeling too masculine myself too - so this post definitely set off a light bulb for me too.</p> <p>I love the look and fit of your suit. Given you work in IT - a less traditional suit works perfectly - so I say this is a definite keeper. You look amazing in it. The blouse is wonderful, I really love the white stripe down the arm.</p> <p>I recently purchased a navy pant suit for when I need to be seriously dressed. My suit has fluid pants, but with a split at the front (same as my black pants) and a cropped jacket with a bell sleeve - both in Finds. These slight details make it feel feminine and fab to me. How you feel is everything! If you feel confident and fab, it projects and people notice that far more than what you actually were wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062228 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 08:11:55 +0000 lyn67 2062228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've learned so much from this post, thanx for posting!&nbsp;<br /> <br /><b>Angie is soooo</b> right ref the pants, and pardon my ignorance (I may be old fashioned) but I even questioned these are a complete suit or rather separates-seeing the fit of the trousers. <br /><b>BUT I can sooo relate</b> with you, Anchie! I've been feeling myself the exact way in a regular (classic fit) pants suit in the past, so I've during the years I've&nbsp; totally skipped them. <br />Now, and pardon my ignorance again- this is the very first time I see&nbsp; IRL an alternative, little more feminine fit on a female body <b>as a suit</b>.&nbsp;<br />This now widens out my fashion sight a lot-and think with all of our day's casualisation there is a place for this fit in some of ours' lives, events and crowds. The bulb went out-and I may give a try to this silhouette myself, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062173 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 01:28:54 +0000 Jaime 2062173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the original suit and I also like the BR trousers. Love the blouse. Definitely go with the cut that makes you feel good as that is the one you will look best in without question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062104 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 21:36:54 +0000 Angie 2062104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anchie,</b> the second set of pics in better light is an improvement! Less tight, and good. Go for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit/page/2#post-2062103 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 21:19:58 +0000 Gigi 2062103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the new suit and hope you keep it. I think it looks like it will fit in well with your work environment.</p> <p>I have the same reaction to more traditional pants...I don't feel like myself in them at all! I like the look of the skinnier leg here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062101 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 21:12:27 +0000 anchie 2062101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - new pants are not Ponte skinnies and neither is blazer. They are thick cotton with satiny feel. Maybe this is all misunderstanding because of difficulty photographing dark pants. I tried taking more pictures.</p> <p>Rayan needs belt to stay up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062098 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 21:03:58 +0000 Angie 2062098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooo interesting! </p> <p>Though it’s hard to judge from the pics because dark colours are hard to photograph - personally, I prefer the look and fit of the BR Ryan pants in these pics - although I think I want to pull them up a bit.</p> <p> That said, I FULLY support how you feel in something. It’s much more important than how I think it looks! So, go with the Ponte skinnies. There should be no more hesitation </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062092 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 20:38:16 +0000 anchie 2062092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Jenni NZ, karen13 and hgr - good to have so many votes for keeping the suit. </p> <p>I just took a quick picture with my fluid dress pants BR Rayan that I don’t feel good in. What do you think? Which style you like better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062089 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 20:28:12 +0000 hgr 2062089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the cut of the suit looks on you. &nbsp;Very sleek. &nbsp;The blouse is loose so the slender pants compliment the outfit very well (I always try to pair one loose piece of clothing with a fitted piece of clothing). &nbsp;You look great and I am very impressed with how many people at your job wear professional attire. &nbsp;I vote for keeping the suit. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062079 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 19:59:12 +0000 karen13 2062079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another love for the suit as you model it. I quite like the the slimmer pants and wish I could wear them like you do. I am the exact opposite - I only feel comfortable in more trouser-like styles. The fit is fab and the blouse is TDF. You are right to hold out for perfect, but I think this is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062077 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 19:55:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2062077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie I just love the suit. And the blouse. The white stripe looks really interesting, when you take the jacket off. I love the look of skinny pants.<br /> I guess my preference for skinnies has not changed for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062073 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 19:46:45 +0000 anchie 2062073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you torontogirl</p> <p>This is the type of pants that I feel absolutely worst in. Especially if I don’t wear heels with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062071 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 19:42:25 +0000 Helena 2062071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love it - it looks flawless to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062062 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 19:10:44 +0000 anchie 2062062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and rachylou - we cross posted. I very much appreciate all the opinions here and I take all the advices into consideration. I don’t have to decide now, have at least 2 weeks to return. Will try it on one more time tomorrow and will also keep looking for different suit. This season there are many plaid and double breasted suits and not so much simple essential suits that I am looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062052 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:48:45 +0000 anchie 2062052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LisaP - I am tucker and I always tuck regardless:) I bet you can tuck too. </p> <p>Leslie - yes, guys are in suits in majority but women are all over the place. There are not many women in my department, only other women there is close to retirement and is rocking Hilary Clinton type of pantsuits. </p> <p>I am really conflicted. I always had at least few classic fluid dress pants like BR Ryan in my wardrobe and never felt good in them - either frumpy or masculine. But they are kind of essential for the work wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062050 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:46:40 +0000 rachylou 2062050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I suppose it depends on your profession about the skinny pants, but your coworkers don’t look so very formal. I find very formal suits frumpy and few occasions for them these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062049 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:45:01 +0000 Angie 2062049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie, I should have embellished my thoughts. You don’t need to go wide in the pants. I’m thinking fluid cigarette pants made of a wool blend. Like my own pant suit from Scotch &amp; Soda. They are very tailored and slim - but not skinny. They don’t cling on the legs. </p> <p>You have the majority vote to get this suit! Go for it. Your work environment looks wonderfully diverse and casual. The suit will fit in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062041 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:32:05 +0000 Leslie 2062041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is lovely and trim and with the skinny pants looks very young and modern dressed up. And you've got the body for skinnies! I concur with Angie that wider legs--not neccesarily wide, just not skinny--is more traditionally dressy, so what matters is what you need the suit for and who your audience is. I saw fellows in suits in the picture, but not so many women. We tend to have more latitude than men because we have so many more options. But I see younger-than-me women rocking skinny suits with both flats and heels, and to my eye, they look dressed for doing business.</p> <p>You really have great taste in clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062029 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:14:30 +0000 Anonymous 2062029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I LOVE this on you, but now that I read Angie's comments about how a more fluid pant is more professional, I can see that too. &nbsp;I'm with you in feeling a little too masculine in a basic , more fluid dress pant despite how contradictory that sounds. &nbsp;Food for thought. &nbsp;I'm dying over this blouse, and have definitely envy over your ability to wear a blouse AND tuck it in ! &nbsp;I can do neither ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062028 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:14:06 +0000 anchie 2062028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, what to do. I just checked their site, and couldn’t find better pants for this blazer.<br /> But they have this other suit in #3 ;)</p> <p>#1 and #2 are ‘mine’ suit on the model </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062025 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:06:36 +0000 Kate 2062025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful suit and a perfect fit to my eye. I really like the cut of the pants. The blouse is gorgeous—I wish blouses weren’t such a tough fit for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062022 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 17:56:55 +0000 The Cat 2062022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said.

I vote keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062011 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 17:34:47 +0000 anchie 2062011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I will check if the Drykorn has the pants in the same color and fabric but in different cut. There is no point of keeping the blazer if I can’t make a suit. Do you have maybe a recommendation for a different suit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062009 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 17:29:23 +0000 notsaf 2062009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so funny! I wish the Hampshire pants were a hair longer, so I actually like your new ones better. I'd vote keep, but you'll know what works for you, Anchie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-suit#post-2062008 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 17:28:32 +0000 Angie 2062008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anchie</b>, I've said my bit. My perceptions are the same. YOU are wearing the suit though, and I am always on the wearer's side. Listen to your feelings.&nbsp;</p>
