But first, I ADORE the new top. It's superb on you! Like, really. That shade of blue white white and navy or black is sublime and I love the cut.&nbsp;</p> <p>Next, look at that outfit you showed following Angie's suggestion -- brilliant!!!!!! I love your version better than the sample!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190750 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 20:10:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2190750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fully agree with lyn67’s “ if tags are off you really should give it a chance- and just wear on your day, and see how it feels!” I had my linen crazy pants for a quarter century before I got up my nerve to wear them. When I finally did, I realized they weren’t so hard to wear at all! I understood them differently after that first night—I had them in my mind as flares, thought they needed low heels, and somehow thought the low rise demanded a crop top. I’m not comfortable in those, so have had eyes open for gauzy over or under-layers. It all seemed very complicated. Then I grabbed a bunch of tops I thought could work, had my family pick one, and went with it. None of the above was true. They were so comfy, cozy, and fun! </p> <p>TL/DR: wear the shirt, with whatever, at least once this spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190730 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 19:01:03 +0000 Irina 2190730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sally, FashIntern, suntiger, kellygirl, Star, Katerina&nbsp;</b>- thank you, your kind words mean a lot to me!<br /><b>lyn67, Thanks!&nbsp;</b>I’m really attracted to this type of shirts but my hight and shoulders/chest/hips proportions make it very difficult to get the fit right. I probably never had a button down shirt that fits correctly in the shoulders.&nbsp;<div>Linen drapes better than stiff cotton but not always. I don’t wear viscose, I probably have a couple of pieces. Funny, I don’t mind wrinkled linen but dislike wrinkled viscose :)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190726 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 18:36:33 +0000 lyn67 2190726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this for you and ON YOU, Irina! I think you styled and&nbsp; wear this shirt really well looks like&nbsp; you have the right&nbsp; life and environment, too -but I can so relate!&nbsp; <br />It happened to me, can you imagine(!!) with almost exactly the same garment- mine was a white and small blue pinstripe oversized pouplin oversized shirt, which I felt in love from Zara----and then...just couldn't make my own---for my body and life---so, my heart broke&nbsp; when had to&nbsp; return it- but I do not regret. Crisp shirts in general are so NOT ME-so an oversized one, even less so.&nbsp; I just have to make peace with this. I sometimes can make work&nbsp; a drapey viscoze or a casual linen shirt much more easier with my persona and wardrobe- and was surprised to find out&nbsp; you were wondering on the same.&nbsp;<br />Now, if tags are&nbsp; off you really should give it a chance- and just wear on your day, and see how it feels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190668 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 15:51:26 +0000 Katerina 2190668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great shirt! I love the outfits you have created. I nodded to Shevias comments , I also smiled at your maximal remark about the trench version But I am a maximal dresser, so my perception is different from yours.

I like the way one panel of stripes in the opposite direction keeps things from being too predictable, but is not hectic/disorderly. I can’t figure out why I like the black pants better than the jeans, which are more harmonious, but I do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190535 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 07:04:19 +0000 Sally 2190535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces that you have put together.&nbsp; As others have said it has a real arty /architectural vibe.&nbsp; I like it all but especially love it with the black jacket in number 2.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190514 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 03:57:35 +0000 Irina 2190514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chevyspaghetti, Angie, slim cat, lisa p, Cardiff girl, Jonesy, Jenna,&nbsp;<br /></b><b>RunCarla, notsaf, shevia, Sloper -&nbsp;</b>thank you all for your suggestions and encouragement.

It may seem busier than your usual solids, but it really doesn't come off as too hectic. I did smile at the idea that adding the trench made it too maximal. Not at all, but if it is for you try the sneaker look without the trench. Hope to see more versions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190458 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 22:05:18 +0000 Irina 2190458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the idea,&nbsp;<b>Angie!&nbsp;</b>I planned to wear these jeans with a black t-shirt but now I will wear it with this shirt, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190455 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 21:58:44 +0000 Angie 2190455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Irina</b>, JUST LIKE THAT :)</p> <p>*happy dance*</p> <p>KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190453 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 21:55:16 +0000 Irina 2190453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Runcarla,&nbsp;</b>cropped jeans in the picture are not white, they are cream and don’t work with the shirt, unfortunately.

The blues are gorgeous and the crisp white banded collar works beautifully with your white sneakers! And the side slits and cuffs add further visual interest, without seeming fussy. It doesn't really seem oversized to me at all, but then again I wear mostly loose-fitting tops so perhaps I'm an outlier :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190414 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 19:19:33 +0000 Irina 2190414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kind of like this,&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190391 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 18:39:36 +0000 Cardiff girl 2190391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely shirt with a little added bit of quirkiness.l am sure that you will get a lot of wear out of it but I can understand your second thoughts.l think that’s because you are a very minimalist dresser at heart and this &nbsp;is a little bit maximalist but it’s all good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190389 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 18:32:57 +0000 Anonymous 2190389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree 100% with Angie , and was going to comment on the sizing , but it *is* a very interesting piece that I can imagine working with a lot of other bottoms too ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190387 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 18:11:48 +0000 Angie 2190387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then you're good <b>Irina.</b></p> <p><b></b>BTW, I can see you rock this vibe:<b></b></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190385 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 18:02:04 +0000 Irina 2190385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b></b>Thank you, ladies!<br /></div><b>Slim cat</b>, you are so right. I get confused by statement pieces sometimes. I like them but most of garments in my wardrobe work well with each other and don’t require much thought. I should try when I feel at least a bit creative!<br /><b>Angie</b>, unfortunately I can’t size down, this fits OK in the chest area, smaller size will be tight and buttons will gape. Common problem for me when buying a button down shirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190372 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 17:39:09 +0000 Angie 2190372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've styled the shirt perfectly, and in that special <b>IRINA</b>-<b></b>way!&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE the way the white sneakers pick up the white of the collar. And the addition of the tans in #3 is pretty too. I like #2 and #3 best.&nbsp;</p> <p>Part of me wants to see you in a size down in the shirt ......that said, you are ready for NYFW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190369 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 17:36:10 +0000 slim cat 2190369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the architectural/arty vibe - great find. I think it's working in all your outfits - even maximal version with trench .&nbsp;<br />Sometimes certain pieces require some special mood - that could be the case with that lovely shirt ( love it one day, not sure the other day ).<br />I vote to keep the shirt and post more fun outfits later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190357 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 17:21:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2190357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, and I think it works well for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab---stripes#post-2190352 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 17:14:44 +0000 Irina 2190352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, happens to me sometimes - I admire a garment, buy it and then wonder if it actually works for me.<br />&nbsp;This is a wild card of 2021. I’ve been adding striped tops this year, I haven’t had any for the last 5 years sans some lounge wear.&nbsp;<div>Maybe I should’ve bought linen to keep it more casual. Don’t know... lots of doubts. Interestingly, I loved it when I first put it on and even showed to DH. He liked it, too and he is not a big fan of oversized clothes. I removed the tags and ironed it. But today while I was putting it together, I started questioning my decision to keep it.<br />What do you think?<br />The last outfit with the old trench is a bit too maximal for me and I’m not sure I would wear it.<br />Shirt - Uniqlo&nbsp;<br />black pants - COS<br />black car coat - BR<br />trench - The Bay (second hand, gifted by a friend)<br />navy jeans - old Massimo Dutti<br />Thanks for looking!</div> </p>
