There are some very interesting comments and perceptions here, and they are quite helpful to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613983 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:45:51 +0000 lyn67 613983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think will work much better as separates try teh pants with a black top, cardi, or blazer, very edgy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613939 Mon, 07 May 2012 06:29:43 +0000 ManidipaM 613939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, I'm in the minority, but I LOVE the two pieces together --- all I'd suggest is opening up the top of the jacket at least to show the blouse. Something animal print or the 'now' cobalt blue would be fabulous, as well as the 'of-courses' of black and red. Something in a darker shade of brown or grey with a sheen or sparkle would be great too --- sandy gold shell? dark grey satin? --- just add pearls, a la Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613936 Mon, 07 May 2012 06:21:10 +0000 Jenava 613936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually adore those pants on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613905 Mon, 07 May 2012 04:52:42 +0000 CocoLion 613905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, I love the tuxedo pants! But I would take off the bottom black band and wear them at a shorter length. I don't know if anyone else suggested that, I haven't read the other comments yet. Of course taking the black band off the bottom would make them less special, but they might be easier to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613806 Mon, 07 May 2012 01:39:45 +0000 Kyle 613806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this photo was not styled...I definitely have felt it needs a black top if I wear these items together. A pop of red might work, too. I was more worried about the overall silhouette and the fit of the pants. My husband loves this, and I trust his judgment because he is always very honest with me, but the pants were still a concern. I could definitely see wearing these pieces separately and probably together. The pants will look nice with a longish black blazer, or possibly a tailored white blouse. I could see the jacket with a very fitted pencil skirt and heels. </p> <p>I'm glad you like the pieces...I really want to elevate them to killer status...and I do sense some concerns about the taupey color? Vix, thanks for noticing the peplum. The idea of creating a waist appeals to me!</p> <p>Your feedback is much appreciated, and I certainly welcome any and all styling suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613798 Mon, 07 May 2012 01:33:31 +0000 marianna 613798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd also like to see the pants with a longer black top. That will be fab!</p> <p>I like the jacket a lot, but I'd prefer it with other bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613789 Mon, 07 May 2012 01:29:01 +0000 Jonesy 613789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket and the pants, but agree about maybe splitting them up. I think the idea of a black top with the pants is fab, and somehow I am envisioning that jacket (with its awesome peplum!!) with a black pencil skirt. The shorter, fitted shape seems made for a pencil skirt, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613747 Mon, 07 May 2012 01:05:04 +0000 Vix 613747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Assuming these pieces are the same shade...they look a tiny bit different on my monitor...</p> <p>I love this as a suit on you -- after all, you have plenty of modern classic in your closet -- why not go for a modern STATEMENT?</p> <p>Peplums on those with Rectangle shapes = all kinds of awesome, and apparently you have magic legs that make cropped, banded-in-black pants look ridiculously long-stemmed.

I look forward to seeing the suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613736 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:55:10 +0000 Angie 613736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking another photo, Kyle :)</p> <p>The trousers will work. The vertical colour blocking, the black heels (low contrast with the black blocked hems), tapering, and your gams help to create a longer leg line with this notoriously leg shortening silhouette. I am with Deborah in finding that they are begging for a black top - blouse or jacket - of which you have a few to choose from :). What is your impression, Kyle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613724 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:37:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 613724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are AMAZING - I love the black detailing on them. I like the jacket, although not as much as the pants. Together it seems like a lot of taupe - I would probably break them up and use them as separates. If worn as a suit, I think you will need to wear a fairly bright coloured top to have more colour near your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613711 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:09:34 +0000 Amy 613711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, cool! I agree with the others who suggested this might work better as separates. If the jacket also had touches of black, or if you were book-ending the black somehow, that might work better.</p> <p>No mistakes here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613702 Sun, 06 May 2012 23:44:46 +0000 Jjsloane 613702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but separately I think. Very bold statement. I'm sure you can work some styling wonders with each. Nice to have some fashion memories of your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613692 Sun, 06 May 2012 23:30:59 +0000 raclar 613692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite part is the pants! I love the wide black tuxedo-esqe stripe! I agree its very bold! I think maybe adding another color/pattern might be good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613640 Sun, 06 May 2012 21:05:13 +0000 Midwest Girl 613640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very striking suit and on you it works. I don't think you made a mistake, but I would like to see the jacket styled with some color or patterned accessory. I'm not sure I can articulate what would look right, I just feel it needs something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613631 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:57:04 +0000 christieanne 613631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bold! I would like it as separates for sure.And together for a very fashion forward occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613627 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:53:32 +0000 Deborah 613627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle was this purchased as a suit? I like both pieces but I am not sure about them together, but then maybe this is too fashion forward for me :)</p> <p>Something makes me want to see a boyfriend style jacket, or oversized blouse with those pants.</p> <p>And I don't think you made a mistake with the pants, they look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613599 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:17:18 +0000 Kyle 613599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the front. It's a light taupe, yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613596 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:11:02 +0000 Angie 613596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it might work! May I see the suit from the front to be sure? </p> <p>(Very usual colour for you, Kyle. Is it taupe/beige/grey?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613595 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:10:48 +0000 Kiwichik 613595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm I think I'll wait for wiser council </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suit-does-it-work#post-613594 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:09:15 +0000 Kyle 613594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We brought this back from Italy. Did I make a mistake with the pants? </p>
