I had a charcoal maxi cardigan for a long time that I loved...but always struggled with a coat.  Jules on "Not as simple, but same proportions" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-as-simple-but-same-proportions#post-2288588 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 12:09:58 +0000 Jules 2288588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love these proportions and seeing them styled for a colder climate is inspiring!

My cardi logic is the same as yours: Long = outerwear Short = tops (or arm coverage). FWIW, my mum just sent me a photo of herself in a burgundy/ maroon hooded parka from Seasalt that looks fabulously fitted (waist definition) but with ease BlueJay on "Not as simple, but same proportions" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-as-simple-but-same-proportions#post-2288533 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 01:42:06 +0000 BlueJay 2288533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW!

Nailed it!

But usually my boots have covered them. Finding a pair of loafers I can actually wear has been a new experience! I can easily play with colourful socks. Fits right into the garconne theme.  BTW, reviews of these shoes say the toe is narrow (not for me) and the heel is wide (compared to most slip on shoes? no way!!!) I have had to be very judicious and break them in with body glide, bandaids and now socks, but it is working and they do not fall off my feet even with the socks. They also have a nice supportive footbed. Thanks NAS and Angie!  cjh on "Not as simple, but same proportions" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-as-simple-but-same-proportions#post-2288468 Thu, 27 Oct 2022 20:21:20 +0000 cjh 2288468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So cute with the patterned socks!

This is actually a combo (cropped pants, long cardigan) that I've been wearing for at least four years and I still enjoy it. But wearing with loafers is new.  My version includes a scarf and patterned socks because it's cold here! I will take the scarf off in a few hours.  I prefer long cardigans to shorter ones but I do own several short ones, too, that I tend to wear as tops (as in the third outfit).
