You wear all of these so well, stylish with a minimum of fuss. The new Birks are perfect too and they are just so comfortable, my favourite summer sandal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291734 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:22:49 +0000 Katerina 2291734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new pants are great and I also love the new blazer! Perfect finds. You have styled the new blazer really well, you look beautiful in all the outfits. I love the addition of the long white shirt to the shorter jacket - very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291543 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 15:12:04 +0000 Angie 2291543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! Clever,<b> Sally</b>! The long shirt under the shorter jacket visually tricks the eye and elongates proportions. Well done :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291503 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 07:51:26 +0000 pirouette 2291503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of theses outfits and new pants are fab. My favourite is 2 I like the slouchy look and the sleeves rolled up in the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291497 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 06:01:29 +0000 Sally 2291497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Rachylou, citygirldc, Zaeobi, RobinF, Firecracker and Angie<br /> @Angie the pants seems comfortable at current length but I guess I need to walk around and see how they are.<br /> I do think you are right about jacket proportions and the shorter jacket seemed to work better with a longer shirt under it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291462 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 19:37:29 +0000 Angie 2291462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE THE BLACK BIRKIES,<b> SALLY!</b> KILLER look on you :)&nbsp;</p> <p>All outfits work well. Have a preference for you in a longer blazer as in #2 and #5.</p> <p>New pants are fab! But need a hack - unless they are fine to wear they are in #5, and the hems don't slip under your heels. Full length slouch and scrunch is on trend!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291453 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:20:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2291453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cool slouch in your new pieces.

The blazer in #3 is very cool and I love the shiny pants. I don't mind the first look either with the skinny jeans. It is still a silhouette that I am used to seeing and I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291446 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 17:36:27 +0000 Zaeobi 2291446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is #2 - the 'structured slouch' from both the blazer &amp; joggers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291444 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 17:27:05 +0000 citygirldc 2291444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of the items.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291404 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 05:13:49 +0000 rachylou 2291404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all work to me as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291396 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 03:28:29 +0000 Sally 2291396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all.&nbsp; I"m quite surprised about the love for 4 and 5 as those pants are quite out of my comfort zone.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />@Helena - slouch is another good word for ease<br />@ Kkards - good idea to change the footwear to change proportions.&nbsp; I will experiemnt<br />@nemosmum - thank you<br />@runcarla - I like the term 'accidental suits'.&nbsp; The fabric is not the same shade or texture but I dont thinkt that matters these days.<br />@Suz yes I'm thinking that jacket might go well with white or gray pants.<br />@Dee yes they are quite shiny and silk (but not silk).&nbsp; They dry very quickly and don't crush.<br />@Umlila I have a habit of folding my sleeves.&nbsp; Will have to experiment.<br />@suntiger thank you<br />@Jaime - yes yay to thrifting but I now have to start weeding out my wardrobe again as thrifting can make you acquire a lot.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291392 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 02:47:09 +0000 Jaime 2291392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent finds!

I might like the sleeves scrunched rather than rolled so high. And the shiny pants especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291362 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 22:20:14 +0000 Dee 2291362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the new blazer is a great find, works fab  in #1 and #2. I also like outfit #3, and I don’t see any issues with proportions. Those new pants seem like they have a bit sheen to them and would definitely work well with heels and your blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291361 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 22:16:50 +0000 Suz 2291361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks like a great fit -- it works really well with the joggers in #2. I also love the new pants in 4/5.&nbsp;</p> <p>The jacket in 3 is shorter, so the proportions are different. If you tried it with different footwear and scrunched the sleeves, I think it would work a lot better. Lower contrast bottoms might also ease your eye into the look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291339 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 20:41:40 +0000 Carla 2291339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #5 - the accidental suits are my favourites. &nbsp;The blazer jacket looks like a classic, but you’ve styled it in an interesting way - juxtaposed with casual athletic style pants and sandals - so it is modern, fresh, and hip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291338 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 20:37:07 +0000 nemosmom 2291338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So hard to pick a fave, but I say #5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291334 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 20:19:11 +0000 LJP 2291334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, I knew that, sorry. The new pants are terrific ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291328 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 20:04:20 +0000 kkards 2291328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh i like them all…the subtle pattern on the pants in #4 &amp; 5 is fab, a great way add interest to black pants. I think the proportions in #3 are fine, but maybe this outfit needs different footwear, maybe the boots from #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291326 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:55:06 +0000 Helena 2291326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!!! Especially 5, but all of them. Fab proportions and just the right slouch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291325 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:54:55 +0000 Sally 2291325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you LJP. Actually the new pants are pics 4 and 5. The joggers are old pants I’ve had in the back of the cupboard for over 6 year. A good argument for holding on to things.<br /> Thank you lyn67. I find the pants really comfortable and easy to wear in transitional weather but I think the shiny pants are more dress up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291324 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:42:15 +0000 lyn67 2291324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is quite a sharp ease which I love!!! Both new things, the new blazer and the new&nbsp; pants&nbsp; definitelly&nbsp; have that ease you were looking for--and they work great together or even with other pieces you styled them here! A slam dunk!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291322 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:33:03 +0000 LJP 2291322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new pants , and the new blazer ! #’s 2 and 3 are my favs . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trialling-a-blazer-proportions#post-2291319 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 18:48:22 +0000 Sally 2291319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my new aspirations is to find more ease in my clothes. Even though the skinny jeans / slim pants seem to suit me more than baggy trousers I don’t want to wear them as much now.<br /> The good thing about thrift shopping is being able to experiment without committing.<br /> I found this blazer in a thrift shop. It’s a good brand and is so comfortable with a little stretch. Pic 1. I tried my usual with the slim jeans and combat boots.<br /> Pic 2. Tried with cotton joggers and Birkenstocks and this is what I wore to work.<br /> Pic 3 tried the joggers with another blazer…proportions seem off<br /> Pic 4 -5 . some new pants I found …not my usual style but something I thought I could dress up with blazer and heels. I thought they looked better before I took a photo of them. Another thrift experiment. </p>
