A fitted red skirt suit is now on my list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350394 Sun, 15 May 2011 19:11:09 +0000 Kristine 350394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, it's a beautiful suit and "trendy" didn't even cross my mind. I think it's classic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350361 Sun, 15 May 2011 18:09:12 +0000 MsMary 350361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing red skirt suits to work for 20 years, so in my mind it's the furthest thing from trendy! I vote "go for it!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350344 Sun, 15 May 2011 17:57:01 +0000 firefly 350344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not trendy to my mind, what you're describing sounds quite classic (and fabulous!).</p> <p>I think I read somewhere that Kate's is a red suit to which she added her own black belt. I imagine you could add something similar or even a length of black grosgrain ribbon, if you were so inclined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350311 Sun, 15 May 2011 17:14:56 +0000 Scarlet 350311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing to hold you back--I also think it is a classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350258 Sun, 15 May 2011 15:05:40 +0000 Maya 350258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't a suit, by definition, not trendy...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350247 Sun, 15 May 2011 14:43:21 +0000 rute 350247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A red suit is not too trendy! It's a classical! Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350243 Sun, 15 May 2011 14:41:06 +0000 Inge 350243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay too. I especially love the sound of that deep raspberry (a favourite shade of red for me;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350232 Sun, 15 May 2011 14:27:54 +0000 Angie 350232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me. It has a very classic edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350228 Sun, 15 May 2011 14:24:51 +0000 Evie 350228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too classic to be trendy. I think nude shoes give a contemporary twist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350224 Sun, 15 May 2011 14:19:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 350224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input. I work in an office where many managers wear jeans - and the jeans sometimes look about 10 years old, worn and faded so I already think I stand out to some extent. I am okay with that as long as the look is professional.</p> <p>When I think of Nancy Reagan, I think OL but then I am only thinking of her in the later years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350214 Sun, 15 May 2011 14:00:26 +0000 Anonymous 350214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy Reagan pops into my head when I see this look, so it definitely doesn't seem trendy. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350210 Sun, 15 May 2011 13:56:15 +0000 Nadya 350210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's trendy at all. A red suit is a classic: I wore one for college interviews in 1981! Get one you love and I bet you'll wear it for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350197 Sun, 15 May 2011 13:24:30 +0000 Anonymous 350197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Kate's suit, but don't know how comfy i would be in the workplace with such a bold choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350196 Sun, 15 May 2011 13:22:45 +0000 Ornella 350196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't think twice about getting my hands on the right one if I found it. I already wore red skirt suit many years ago, my cousin once kindly borrowed me her Max Mara piece for the special occasion (my husband, BF at the time, had masters ceremony and being a new graduate myself with very basic wardrobe I had nothing appropriate and classy enough for the event, so she stepped in).<br /> I've longed for such wardrobe staple ever since. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-skirt-suit-too-trendy#post-350193 Sun, 15 May 2011 13:18:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 350193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been a bit fixated on a red skirt suit for months. I was watching a TV show and one of the characters was wearing a red skirt suit. It was very fitted with a knee length pencil skirt, a slightly cropped very fitted jacket, and was worn stand-alone with nude legs/shoes. Then last month, I saw the pics of Kate Middleton wearing another red skirt suit and my enthusiasm was renewed. </p> <p><a href="http://ukate.net/2011/03/08/designer-of-kate%E2%80%99s-red-suit-finally-revealed/" rel="nofollow">http://ukate.net/2011/03/08/de.....-revealed/</a></p> <p>I have always loved a deep raspberry red with black so I could get either the plain red or one more like Kate M's with the black edging if I decide to pursue this idea. </p> <p>What do you think? Is it too trendy? </p>
