Thanks for the close up of the patterned leggings, as I could not see that detail in the first pictures. The texture does add a lot of variety. And more love for your haircut and new sandals, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568888 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 07:42:34 +0000 lyn67 1568888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the close ups, Manny:-). I see now, they have a gorgeous texture, how sad I didn't see them in my stores:-(. <br />Yes, I am 171cm, and hourglass, but cannot find tunics long enough. My thights are wide and muscular on front from the hips down to some inches above the knees, weird to explain, but kind of reminiscent of my long years practicing classic ballet in my youth:-). <br />I don't know how to explain better how and where are they &nbsp;shapely, but I'll post a pictie of my DD to see better on her. I was bummed when recently observed &nbsp;she has them, too:-)-and now I think it is about posture or tension in the legs, too. <br />Of course, having them when thin, is completely other thing, at 48 and overweight is another:-). I always feel like having to cover them(few inches above knees)-but so hard to find the perfect length. My pencils, and regular dresses are all to the &nbsp;knee length or lower, but I would like my tunics (worn with substantial leggings) only a tinny bit shorter, if &nbsp;that makes sense.&nbsp;<br />By the way, I will further encourage you to try &nbsp;faux leather jeggings. Mines are as thin as the regular ones and have a subtle shine, &nbsp;so do not expect to add any bulk, or so. And if the length of your tunics is perfect(as they all are)-they will only show half of their length so lesser impact, than you imagine!:-)<br />Cheryle, Debs from Oz and many other here have them with inserts of faux leather only and perhaps even more substantial, if you would like them so.</p> <p>ETA. Oh, I see now in Carole's thread, mine are not pleather or faux leather....just leather look, kind of Dashielle has! OMG, was it a big mistake, to name them so???</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568867 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 03:45:56 +0000 CocoLion 1568867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way you are celebrating your FFBO here. &nbsp;Love the first one on you so much, you look great in black. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568863 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 03:36:50 +0000 Beth Ann 1568863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific, Maneera.&nbsp; I think the fact that they skim, without being oversized makes for a perfect outfit formula.&nbsp; And so practical, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568648 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 17:45:28 +0000 Anonymous 1568648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great looks.&nbsp; I'd have to say #1 is my favorite, probably because of those great sandals, but they're all winners.&nbsp; I'd say you're ready to rock the fall season! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568608 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:51:23 +0000 Carole 1568608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great silhouette for you, Maneera! All outfits are fab but the first might be my favorite...love it with the pretty sandals. I've always loved the look and comfort of tunics with leggings/skinny jeans and am anxious to try this with a super comfy tunic cowl neck sweater I just bought.</p> <p>I'm wondering where the other fabbers get their faux leather leggings...might have to try to take this uniform up a notch with some!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568598 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:31:11 +0000 Elly 1568598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the first look-- very flattering and sophisticated on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568594 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:26:59 +0000 Maneera 1568594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone! </p> <p>Lyn67 - you're so very sweet! Yes, the leggings have a subtle pattern. I'll add a photo of them on a hanger! </p> <p>As for leather leggings, they may be out of my comfort zone for now! I am not bold with fashion...and I don't know why that is. I may try them on next time I see them in a store before I decide for sure. </p> <p>Like Lyn, I have shapely thighs --- I have a true hourglass figure. I don't have a very heavy bum, but I am as wide at the bottom as I'm on top, and the top of my thighs are my widest portion. That's why I like longer tunics. But even at 5'4", I find long tunics hard to find. I can imagine how difficult it would be for taller women! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568592 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:18:51 +0000 Elizabeth P 1568592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have loaded this post about six times and keep getting distracted before I get a chance to comment :)</p> <p>this is a GREAT uniform for you.&nbsp; You've figured it all out.&nbsp; I personally prefer the length of the tunic in #1 on you, to the longer one in #2.&nbsp; To my eye, #2 is more of a dress, so I'd prefer that one with boots (probably), not showing skin at the ankle.&nbsp; And I love the curved hem of #3.&nbsp; </p> <p>Now to get you into leather leggings :)</p> <p>Oh, and I LOVE your haircut!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568585 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:02:18 +0000 Susie 1568585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great looks for you...it may be a uniform silhouette for you but there is still variety and interest. Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568552 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 13:45:36 +0000 Anonymous 1568552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo I concur with Lyn67 on that ^^<br />I love shiny faux leather leggings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568522 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 12:38:55 +0000 lyn67 1568522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have loved a close up for the leggings, as I read they are all some kind of jaquard or patterned kinds-but I cannot make this out from your picties. Anyway, these all look great and my fave is the last look, I see that tunic has a rounded hem on front? I do have hard time assimilating this silhouette &nbsp;for me, I am tall and I have shapely thights, and so never find long enough tunics, or they are rather looking like a true knee length dress:-(. </p> <p>ETA: did I compliment your new cut already? It is more than fab!:-))</p> <p>ETA nr 2: I just read some of the comments, and agree with Cheryle to try some shiny faux leather leggings-I do have them-and I actually preffer them to the simple &nbsp;generic ones since buying them (even I have only one knitted tunic to wear it with!:-))-and that's why I have asked you for the close ups, too!:-)) Texture adds some more interest and yes, I think they will look great with suede boots, as I always look to change textures when coming to &nbsp;leather on (faux)leather if possible.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568416 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 01:41:27 +0000 Anonymous 1568416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous uniform for you, something that you can dress up or wear casually and wear any season. I especially like the first outfit. As Firecracker pointed out, it looks amazing with your hairstyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568366 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 23:41:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1568366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You definitely have a winning uniform formula here. I love the sleek, modern look of 1 and 2 (and these go so well with your new hairstyle!), and in 3 you revive a little of your former boho streak, with that eclectic print. Nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568361 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 23:24:30 +0000 unfrumped 1568361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, very fab. These are really great tunic/legging combo's. I love #1. So simple, and that makes it look sophistocated, "expensive". Yay for<u> real </u>tunics, not shrinking shirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic/page/2#post-1568329 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 21:49:09 +0000 Brooklyn 1568329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look for you and a very comfy and stylish way to work from home. I agree with you about tunic length. I like tunics that hit mid thigh or even longer on me. And loving your hair by the way. Goes well with this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568325 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 21:45:16 +0000 catgirl 1568325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an absolute uniform/FFBO for me too.&nbsp; It feels&nbsp;very familiar in both my cultures (US and India).&nbsp; I wear my tunics swingier than yours, but the advantage you have is that yours look like they could be worn as sheath dresses too. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568324 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 21:36:54 +0000 Angie 1568324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first two renditions are killer fabulous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568319 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 21:29:07 +0000 Aida 1568319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a brilliant formula for you Maneera, and I find the added Mod vibe especially fun with your newer 'do. The purpley patterned one is my fave -- most Mod of the bunch! The short dress could work for you, as long as the dress is <i>short</i> so that it hits mid-thigh. There always seem to be loads of those around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568278 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 20:07:17 +0000 kerlyn 1568278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really lovely, Maneera! &nbsp;This has become one of my favorite silhouettes for fall too. &nbsp;And I totally agree about length being of the utmost importance. &nbsp;I've recently added a couple soft knit tunics, and they are getting a lot of use already.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568276 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 19:49:56 +0000 Jenn 1568276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an especially great work-from-home formula. So easy, comfortable, and flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568257 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:32:14 +0000 Sal 1568257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These really suit you Maneera, you look great.</p> <p>Proportions are so important- I have had hits and misses with tunics, being tall they can often be too short.</p> <p>I like them particularly with some of the foot showing, such as with those wonderful sandals. Tall boots are great too, I used to wear them with ballet flats as well and still think that is a good look, although maybe not such a modern one.</p> <p>Nice hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568245 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:05:29 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1568245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three great looks. I love the column of black and the extra interest in the sheer sleeved version. A great formula, indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568243 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:01:01 +0000 Liz A. 1568243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look so beautiful! i love the dark colored ones on you.<br /> i have never seen a tunic like those in a store here. i only see the kinds that just cover the butt but probably not the front... looser like sweater tunics. a long torso also compounds the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568242 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 18:00:11 +0000 Stephanie 1568242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, you look amazing! I especially love your outfit in #1. So flattering and I love the sandals </p> <p>I have been thinking about fall uniforms a lot myself, mostly because I really like being able to get dressed quickly on weekdays. I gravitate towards flowy tunic length tops partially tucked with skinny pants for work, but I LOVE love love this variation. I could see this working for me at work or for running errands on the weekend. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568187 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 16:38:12 +0000 Maneera 1568187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad my long analysis on tunic length and fit could help you, Cerinda. Since I've worn this combo for years, I kind of have experimented ALOT. I am a short, curvy girl with a large bust....it kind of dominates my proportions. The length of the tunic is very important for me to get the right proportions. Unlike other Fabbers here, I cannot wear leggings with a short dress - somehow the proportions always look off. I HAVE to buy tunics, and only those that will hit Atleast somewhere mid-thigh. </p> <p>For the fit, anything that doesn't have Lycra or spandex makes me look like I don't have a waist....since I have to buy clothes to fit the largest part - my boobs. Also, woven fabrics with a belt do not look as good - they create a sharp dip at the waist; it only further emphasizes my large bust. Knits, on the other hand, stretch generously over the bust and skim the curves of my body </p> <p>I actually wear regular tunic tops only with skinny jeans....the kinds that just cover my crotch and butt. I never pair them with leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568159 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 15:52:04 +0000 Cerinda 1568159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant uniform. &nbsp;How great that you can do both plain and pattern and mix and still hit the happiness factor. &nbsp;Your comments about tunic fit and length options are really thought-provoking...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniform-1-leggings-and-tunic#post-1568128 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 15:13:32 +0000 Anonymous 1568128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great uniform, one of my favorites as well. <br />I really love that layered necklace in the first outfit, and the patterns on the second two tops are very very cool.
