But tailored fits are AS on trend. That's the remarkable thing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/3#post-1435281 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:28:01 +0000 jackiec 1435281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting how it all comes round and round, but with just enough difference that you need to update things here and there. I hope the fluid tops never ever ever go out of style. I better stock up on my favourite fits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1435274 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:07:26 +0000 ElleH 1435274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny my body never cooperates with fashion. When I had a bloating problem bodycon was in &amp; when I became skinny oversized style came in. Go figure (no pun intended). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1435270 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:55:22 +0000 catgirl 1435270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fitted button-downs make me want to weep!&nbsp; And is&nbsp;having a waist a prerequisite to&nbsp;waist definition?&nbsp;I'm a slouch gal through and through, skinnies aside.&nbsp;&nbsp;This has me contemplating whether I need to look "fresh" given that the trends are not catching my eye lately.&nbsp; Hopefull I'm not in trouble as long as what I wear is still somewhere in that melting pot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1435138 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 17:06:25 +0000 E 1435138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what fun! Thanks to the forum, I've fallen in love with little tailored jackets, and I'm always into natural waist definition. Ruffles &amp; flounces are my friends too! And I've been exploring wider leg trousers too. Sounds like a season full of inspiration for me &amp; I look forward to all of your interpretations &amp; photo-filled posts. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1435136 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 17:03:04 +0000 MsMaven 1435136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big sigh of relief on the return of tailored. I've been mourning its loss to my wardrobe. I'm with those who like/need a neat, set in sleeve at the shoulder line. Not a fan of ruffles, but there is something nice about a tailored jacket worn with a ruffly shirt.</p> <p>It will be nice to see something other than skinny/jeans or pants available in the stores.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434872 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 02:25:29 +0000 ElleH 1434872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad I kept &amp; purchased some tailored items. I'm hoping I didn't buy too many oversized or slouchy items. That trend didn't stay long. It doesn't help that I'm a slow adopter of some trends either. I don't have anymore flares that fit, which is a shame. I do like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434864 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 02:13:10 +0000 rae 1434864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the tailored thigh with a flared leg! DH loves the cut on me, and I'm having fun with softer fabrications for them, too. Butterflies and rainbow colors and lace up details have caught my eyes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434509 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:25:12 +0000 Eliza 1434509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the options! While ruffles haven't ever been my thing, I like variety and find that with so many styles, it is a matter of proportion and interpretation. Great to have a tailored day or a more fluid day. Nothing makes me happier than your list of the many styles happening simultaneously. I find it liberating and much more fun to assemble outfits when many feel fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434500 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:14:53 +0000 Gail 1434500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am excited as I never quite got the hang of slouchy tops. I love them on other people but always felt that the&nbsp;&nbsp;look overwhelmed my frame. I could never get it right .<br />I have 3 structured shirts that have ruffles on the front that I was about to get rid of , however I think that I will hang on to them a little while longer and see if I wear them again !&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434478 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:59:12 +0000 Beth Ann 1434478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New leg of the style journey, eh?&nbsp; This sounds like fun! If the ruffles and details are thoroughly grown up, I'm in!</p> <p>You know, I want to love denim jackets, really, I do, but I'm still mourning the loss of the one I purchased in 2000.&nbsp; It had a long life -- a full decade, but finally succumbed to holes and sagging.<i>&nbsp; It was dark, traditional in style, but&nbsp; quite lightweight with lots of comfy stretch.</i>&nbsp; If you ever see it's offspring in the stores, pls let me know!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434453 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:37:51 +0000 celia 1434453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tailored and natural waist definition sound Pretty good to me. I love slouch but it is not very flattering for my body type.<br /> Ruffles I guess it kind of depends what will be in stores.<br /> in the end I am glad for the variety of silhouette s available on the market right now. I like to see people expressing themselves and not conforming to one kind of silhouette or style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434450 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:32:52 +0000 trekkiegirl 1434450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh oh - the black velvet jacket with ruffles I posted a question about recently will totally fit into this. Maybe with a mermaid skirt and my stacked Oxford lace up heels ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434431 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:01:55 +0000 Janet 1434431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad I never totally gave up tailored fits! Although I'm definitely enjoying my fits on the easier side of tailored these days, rather than clingy or bodycon. </p> <p>As for ruffles, etc., it's funny, I have one green patterned blouse that's been in and out of the donation bag because it has a tiered hem and sleeves, but I love the pattern and the neckline, and it's floaty and has nice movement. I just moved it back into my closet to play with again, so my only remaining "ruffly" item is getting a reprieve! </p> <p>It's funny the way fashion has gotten to the point where it moves so fast it's almost as though anything goes, and if you're not riding the crest of a trend, surely you're doing something that is "pre-trendy"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434406 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 13:09:01 +0000 crutcher 1434406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is going to create such fun...I love tailored and add just a touch of ruffles well...that is perfect...Can't wait to try and style...Thanks for the post... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434398 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 12:41:35 +0000 Aquamarine 1434398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking forward to your guidance on all these trends.

I have quite broad shoulders but am not an IT and the current fits seem to easily slip off or reveal my bra.</p> <p>I'm looking forward to a post showing images of these new trends Angie. Maybe I can just bypass the slouchy trend, since I've hardly got into it, at least for work wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434349 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 08:19:13 +0000 Ruth M 1434349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tailored and structured - love!</p> <p>I like the look of flounces and ruffles, and will look forward to trying these out.</p> <p>I also used to wear gathered sleeves and puff shoulders, but since reading YLF, I suspect I should not have worn them (particularly the gathered crowns) as an IT with a fairly strong shoulder line!&nbsp; So I'll be looking forward to seeing your guidelines on this.</p> <p>I'm happy to see variety in silhouettes.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434303 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 05:29:29 +0000 Catnip 1434303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been struggling with slouchy tops without much success. &nbsp;I've bought seven and kept one. &nbsp;Somehow, much as I theoretically appreciate them, I cannot bring myself to wear them in public. &nbsp;Untucked fluid fits, on the other hand, are great for me, especially in knitwear. &nbsp;</p> <p>I've noticed many women recently who appear to be drowning in vastly oversized tops. &nbsp;These seen to look especially bad when the shoulders are unstructured and slide around. &nbsp;IMO, a very slouchy top and &nbsp;skinny pants do nothing to make a woman look thinner.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434277 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 04:04:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1434277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so funny, because I'm still trying to get more boxy, slouchy, and fluid fits into my wardrobe. Good thing the looser fits are still looking current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434260 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 03:21:47 +0000 Ariadne 1434260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent. &nbsp;As much as I love the look of the slouchy trend, it almost always looks dumpy on my curvy figure. &nbsp;I'm happy tailored looks and waist definition are coming back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-thoughts-on-whats-looking-fresh-for-2015/page/2#post-1434251 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 02:59:33 +0000 Jaime 1434251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fits I will take on a case by case basis, but I am interested to see which ruffles come out to play.

I'm also looking forward to some posts on how exactly these looks will work.
