As for the last outfit #4 does look more streamlined with a low contrast between the sweater and shirt. However I agree with Suz: it is the shirt straight hem which throws #5 a bit off. Hide the hem completely or use a shirt with the rounded hem and this will be a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble/page/2#post-1178152 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 03:28:52 +0000 Parsley 1178152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Mia: I never have thought of you as a pear- you seem very well balanced. I think of you as a slender hourglass.<br />I like every single one of these outfits. That white top in the first pictures looks so on trend and modern. I love it! What is it?<br />The outfit you actually wore works really&nbsp;well with its tone on tone look. But really, it's all just fine tuning- they're all good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble/page/2#post-1178120 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 02:58:25 +0000 shiny 1178120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-3 is KILLER.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for 4 vs 5, as&nbsp;April said "what hips?" I do not think #5 is an&nbsp;unflattering shape on you AT ALL.

I very much like.</p> <p>Interesting about #4 and 5. #4 to me is the epitome of style. It has that *It* factor, and dang if I don't wish I had a grey top and grey sweatshirt. But now that you mention it, the cream <i>is </i>very flattering to your complexion...but it really doesn't have the *It* factor. Maybe it's the straight across hem. Maybe because a white button down is the universal default and just too conventional... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble#post-1176739 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 22:16:27 +0000 In My Joi 1176739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both looks are so cool, but my fav is&nbsp;"What I Might Wear" , pictures 1-3!<br />I simply <b><u>adore</u></b> it!

I love all renditions, Denise. Do have a soft spot for #1. You had me with the white. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble#post-1176227 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:39:04 +0000 Suz 1176227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all wonderful looks and I find your analysis very helpful. I really like 1-3 -- that sweater is a lot of fun, and so are the pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>I, too, prefer 4 to 5, but I'm almost 100% sure that it's the straight cut hem of that shirt that is creating a problem and if you wore the shirt from #1, it would work beautifully on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>In my boxy-over-button down look the other day I opted not to show the shirttails at all because the proportions didn't look right to my eye. But today I am trying one with a shirttail out. Will try to snap photos later. It really does seem to matter what shape the shirt has, and how long it is in relation to the sweater, not to mention all the other proportion issues.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble#post-1176174 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:36:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1176174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!&nbsp; The first look is very modern, almost "Japanese architectural" if you know what I mean. </p> <p>Love the softness of #4 and find its drape very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble#post-1176170 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:35:23 +0000 lyn67 1176170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First one is fashion forward for me, and looks fab on your frame.

Oh, right about the boxy over boxy, I love your white sweater over white blouse. So much better than the white over white boxy thing I just posted! Agree also with the choice of #4, not that #5 is bad but #4 is better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble#post-1176025 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:32:40 +0000 donnat 1176025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 4 is the winner. The other looks are nice too though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble#post-1176004 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:14:55 +0000 jenanded 1176004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love to see the experiment and 4 is a peach for this pear! I wonder if it both shape, less figure chopping and a level of tonal action w greys and black... inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pear-dressing-trying-angies-boxy-sweater-ensemble#post-1176002 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:09:15 +0000 kkards 1176002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-#3 are eye opening, what a great way to use a cropped sweater and to pair it with non jeans. love them all, although &nbsp;#3 is probably how i would wear it. i agree, i like both #4 and #5, but again, #4 is my preference, but #5 could be good with a lighter denim.&nbsp; </p>
