I need to get some brighter colored pants. My pants are dark neutrals b/c I don't like to enhance my lower half, especially right now when overweight.</p> <p>Steph, I will try to post pics b/c I do see the value of them in assessing wardrobe questions. With my dark grey shirt and charcoal pants or black denim, I feel like I'm doing a Johnny Cash "man in black" look, and I'm not sure that's how I want to look.<br /> Will try posting pics of skirts and tops soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-used-to-wovens-what-to-do-with-tuxedo-shirts#post-334622 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 04:26:02 +0000 Steph 334622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pictures are always the best, but in my mind's eye, these shirts would work with a flared skirt, if they are tucked in. Considering their length, I think the look will be too voluminous and could appear sloppy if it is worn outside of an a-like skirt. If you belt the shirt and wear it untucked, that might work better, but I think it would depend. When I wear a woven untucked with a flared skirt, I never feel it looks right unless the shirt is close-fitting and shorter. </p> <p>If you aren't happy with the shirts with any of your skirts, maybe just stick to wearing it with those two pairs of pants right now, until you find a skirt you feel pairs well with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-used-to-wovens-what-to-do-with-tuxedo-shirts#post-334536 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:24:03 +0000 rae 334536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I think a lot would go with those, from looking at the pic! Solid colored skirts without much detail, simple shorts of any color, straight or wide legs as Girl X mentioned... The charcoal might look fresh with white bottoms, too.<br /> <a href="http://annaandsophia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cotton-tuxedo-shirt-69.50.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://annaandsophia.com/wp-co.....-69.50.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://resources.shopstyle.com/sim/ba/e7/bae71f01e10aa3664228a4b3a8027a50/thomas-mason-jcrew-longsleeve-tops-fabric-tuxedo-shirt.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://resources.shopstyle.com.....-shirt.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://images.jcrew.com/erez4/cache/images_onFigure_30_30627_30627_WA4200_m_tif_697c0b47f7fc186d.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://images.jcrew.com/erez4/.....fc186d.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s9.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/0C48C289.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s9.thisnext.com/media/l.....48C289.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-used-to-wovens-what-to-do-with-tuxedo-shirts#post-334487 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 00:17:49 +0000 rosee 334487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(le bump-bump)</p> <p>Also, what in particular to wear the darker tux shirt with (without going all dark head to toe)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-used-to-wovens-what-to-do-with-tuxedo-shirts#post-334349 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:32:27 +0000 rosee 334349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! Melissa, my shirts come down to hip length (cover most of my butt). My skirts are to the knee or just below the knee for a-lines and flares. I don't own skinnies right now b/c I don't find them flattering (but I have worn them when slimmer).<br /> Another question: tuck in or leave out shirts? I think I'm just not used to the woven shirts idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-used-to-wovens-what-to-do-with-tuxedo-shirts#post-334316 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:40:40 +0000 Girl X 334316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A-line skirts, straight and wider legged trousers should look great with a tuxedo blouse. I think it can work with a flared skirt as well, but it's a trickier look to get right. Your other options sound much easier to work with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-used-to-wovens-what-to-do-with-tuxedo-shirts#post-334309 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:32:05 +0000 Melissa 334309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks really cute! How long are the ones you bought? I am also a pear. I'm wondering if maybe you just haven't found the right pencil skirt yet--keep looking! I would also try the tux shirt with either flared trousers or skinnies depending on how long it is.</p> <p>Good luck, please post pics when your camera is up and running again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-used-to-wovens-what-to-do-with-tuxedo-shirts#post-334307 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:23:34 +0000 rosee 334307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't post pics b/c my camera isn't working, but I will provide a link to a blouse similar to the 2 I bought from JCrew over a month ago.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/catalogjcrewcomexclusives/shirts/PRDOVR~36328/99102227929/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~20+17+4294967139~90~~~~~~~/36328.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../36328.jsp</a></p> <p>I bought white and dark charcoal-slate tuxedo blouses that look very similar to the one above -- great sale and I wanted to own a tux blouse, at least in theory. Mine doesn't have the tuxedo ruffles on the shoulder, just on the bib and a ruffled collar (no lace on it). Problem is I haven't worn them yet. I have a-line and flared skirts and straight-leg or wider-leg trousers, because I am very pear right now. I think these blouses would look good with a pencil skirt, but I don't like how I fit pencil skirts (can I exaggerate the hipline any more?). I can't seem to find any bottoms that I own that I really like with these blouses, except for a charcoal pant and a black denim. Would a flare skirt work with this blouse? I am having so much trouble getting dressed in my heavier figure. Any help would be appreciated. </p>
