IT!!!Wow!! -you did your best job here, Lisa! And I so agree with Suz ref. for the long unavailability of suitable tops for wider hems (not only pants but midi skirts, too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319933 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 13:02:56 +0000 LJP 2319933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all ! &nbsp;I appreciate the thoughts on proportion. This vest is earning its keep - that's for sure. I've duplicated it in black and they've become workhorses for our fickle spring weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319931 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 12:41:20 +0000 RobinF 2319931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! The pants are great, just the right width and length. Fabulous vest. I have been keeping my eye open for a long vest like that.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319926 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 12:23:23 +0000 Olive Green 2319926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks a lot like my Pinterest inspo, which is largely Japanese older ladies with the most impeccable eye for proportion and colour.&nbsp;<br />Like they did all the fads and took the best parts.&nbsp;<br />The quilted gilet and the tone on tone.&nbsp;<br />So nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319905 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 04:22:00 +0000 Sally 2319905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colours and the proportions look great.&nbsp; It also looks comfortable and at ease too which is what I like about the new fit of trousers as the flow gives a more chic look.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319629 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 19:07:37 +0000 Helena 2319629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this ... Amazing colours on you and the vest makes the outfit complete without compromising the minimal clean feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319626 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 19:00:15 +0000 Katerina 2319626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this!

And I love how your hair looks so good with those colors! I echo all that Suze had to say. I think for most of us our eyes are just now adjusting to the new proportions. At least that is true for me. I am remembering back to when my teenage daughter talked me into wearing my first pair of Skinnies. They looked so odd to me at the time and I felt so subconscious in them and had no idea what kind of shoes to wear! Lol! Now I am feeling the same way about wider legs and actually have not yet worn a pair. I think it is time! You look fab in them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319612 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 17:49:09 +0000 Tanya 2319612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the colors and proportions are perfect.&nbsp; I love the duo of vest and shoes, I can see them 'anchoring" many different outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319604 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 16:33:49 +0000 kellygirl 2319604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!

I think the proportions work. And with the layering too, which is hard to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319557 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 11:23:19 +0000 Dee 2319557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This wide leg look is spot on for you and I agree that you've got all the proportions just right in this outfit.</p> <p>The sweater's cut, fit, colour, neck and hemline all flatter you and work well with these cropped wider pants which are fab on you. The sweater/pants also works wonderfully with the colour, cut and length of the vest. Your shoes finish this casual outfit off perfectly.</p> <p>I think some of the elements of this look could be a useful template when selecting other pieces for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319545 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 06:52:56 +0000 Star (Lise) 2319545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is good.&nbsp; #2 is superb.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319534 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 04:29:59 +0000 Suz 2319534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fabulous, <b>Lisa</b>! The proportions look just right to my eye (nice new top, by the way!) and I love both versions, with the topper and without. Colours are fab on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>You know, your mention of proportions got me thinking....remember when cropped pants first came in and it was so, so hard to figure out what in heaven's name we were supposed to wear on our feet when we lived in cold northern climates? I swear it took at least a year, maybe two, before booties with higher, narrow shafts became more widely available to pair with such pants -- and those booties were <b>crucial,</b> especially as the pants got wider. You basically could not wear the look for half the year without them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think something similar happened with tops. Pants got wide...but tops did not change a whole lot. That was fine, or at least okay, for people who are comfortable tucking or semi-tucking. But even then, the proportions sometimes felt not quite right. It is only now, several years into the trend of increasingly baggy, loose or wide leg pants (and now, full length wide legs) that manufacturers have finally figured out that what we need are shorter slightly boxy tops that can be left <b>untucked</b>. But they can't be SO boxy that they make us all feel like linebackers, LOL. And they can't be midriff exposing for those of us older than 15. Well, most of us, anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think one reason so many of us are going for a bigger style refresh or reset this year is that this is the first season it has been remotely possible for those who do not shop designer or super high end brands to find items that complete the looks we may have been imagining or craving. Even those who may not have had a well formed idea of how they wanted to look still knew something wasn't feeling right with how they did look. But then, since we weren't going anywhere anyway, we might as well just eat more chocolate.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's not like it is easy to source the stuff we need -- it's still tricky -- but more of it is out there.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ok. Off my soapbox.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319527 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 04:07:33 +0000 Irina 2319527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like this outfit, Lisa!

It definitely works, though I'd personally want the pants about an inch longer. But I often say that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319495 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 01:20:46 +0000 cjh 2319495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is just right, color, proportions, and styling with these pants. I always liked Tribal brand separates, well made and well fitting. The vest is also great. Shoes - perfect choice. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-warrior-32223#post-2319494 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 01:13:10 +0000 Sal 2319494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this Lisa - like the proportions a lot.
