I've seen men in very hot countries wear them in the Summer.

I can see how it goes in a heavy, 90s masculine direction with that pattern. But if you make it funky with chunky jewelry, beachy jewelry, and flowy pants, it should work well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt/page/2#post-2337937 Thu, 07 Sep 2023 11:57:34 +0000 Star (Lise) 2337937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jonesy, Suz and Zaeobi&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>others&nbsp;</b>earlier on up thread thank you for also confirming black/white works with my silver hair.&nbsp; Before going silver I was thinking of giving up black and transgressing to Navy.&nbsp; While navy is still an option I have found black super flattering with my silver hair.&nbsp; You know we often hear that as you get older black does you no favours but it seems not so in my case.<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt/page/2#post-2337936 Thu, 07 Sep 2023 11:53:28 +0000 Star (Lise) 2337936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea&nbsp;<b>Zaeobi!&nbsp; </b>Going to try the collar thing for sure, with other shirts too.&nbsp; Not too sheeny, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt/page/2#post-2337922 Thu, 07 Sep 2023 05:25:35 +0000 Zaeobi 2337922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with your hair! I think I know the type of shirts that you mean in the films - does yours have a slight sheen to the fabric? If so, I'd be tempted to play that up a little if you're feeling too masculine in it currently. </p> <p>Another thing about the neckline, is that you can try tucking the collar inwards like Trinny does (to see whether you like it) without having to sew anything - I suspect this type of fabric will stay in place that way. Just a thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt/page/2#post-2337918 Thu, 07 Sep 2023 04:02:08 +0000 Suz 2337918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and think it's fab with your hair. Glad you are going to give it a try for a while longer. I agree with others who said a "style lab" post might be worthwhile. The forum is great at giving styling suggestions for particular items.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt/page/2#post-2337901 Wed, 06 Sep 2023 23:22:03 +0000 Jonesy 2337901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it's a classic pattern and it looks fab with your hair!

Maybe they skewed too yang/masculine?</p> <p>For example, I skew yang/masculine, but my male shaped oxfords have to be red patent and polka dot. I look good in my puff sleeved eyelet blouse and my floral skirt but I would never wear them together because for me they are OTT yin/feminine. Instead I wore the eyelet blouse yesterday with my striped skirt because stripes are yang and I didn't feel like wearing a denim skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt#post-2337884 Wed, 06 Sep 2023 19:29:37 +0000 Sal 2337884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shirt on you. Classic in the best way.</p> <p>I am pleased you reword and felt good. Pieces handed on can be hard even if you like them - you may not have chosen them yourself. I can feel this way with gifts - I like them and the sentiment behind them but maybe would not have chosen them.</p> <p>A small bracelet or necklace can help shirts feel more feminine if you want to do this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt#post-2337882 Wed, 06 Sep 2023 19:15:26 +0000 Star (Lise) 2337882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Irina&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>it is practically the same!&nbsp; &nbsp;High Five.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; I wore mine tonight again and was perfectly happy in it.&nbsp; I must have been in a different mood.&nbsp; This is the reason I am a slow editor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt#post-2337876 Wed, 06 Sep 2023 18:06:19 +0000 Irina 2337876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is.

Good idea to set it aside and see how it goes.<br />About my breton tee: after pondering I realized that I like breton tees on others but not on me. I should have known that I do not wear stripes and in addition the shape is boxy. It is not a flattering piece.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ticking-striped-shirt#post-2337842 Wed, 06 Sep 2023 12:52:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2337842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks&nbsp;<b>Helena</b>!&nbsp; I do value your input.&nbsp; You know classic for sure.</p> <p>I love RL&nbsp;<b>Mary Beth&nbsp;</b>and thanks for the examples.&nbsp; Haha Yes they were mobsters wearing this exact pattern in the movies I watched :).&nbsp; The feel of the fabric is good and so is the fit.&nbsp; Good for my Late Spring and Early Autumn.&nbsp; I like it with dark wash denim mostly.</p>
