I would experiment with a few tweaks - coloured shoes or sneakers maybe or swapping out the turtleneck and see if you prefer it.</p> <p>But I like it as is - nice modern look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357930 Mon, 15 Apr 2024 08:56:37 +0000 Angie 2357930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fabulous! Proportions are dead right with your versions, and to my eye trendy classic </p> <p>It might be the dark and Wintery look as Jonesy suggested that triggered your reaction. Looking GREAT nonetheless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357910 Mon, 15 Apr 2024 04:49:39 +0000 Anonymous 2357910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe more contrast such as lighter wash jeans or jacket. A shorter jacket would also look different. I like the turtleneck and your shoes and everything in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357898 Mon, 15 Apr 2024 01:21:51 +0000 Jaime 2357898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great but I would try tucking in the top with the blazer on also. A long leg line is not a bad thing . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357854 Sun, 14 Apr 2024 01:42:24 +0000 Cee 2357854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great, Carla :D</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357844 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 20:11:08 +0000 Kyle 2357844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love the jeans worn full length with a pointed toe shoe. And I happen to prefer your version to the inspiration. It has more polish and elegance. One of my favs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357840 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 18:48:10 +0000 Kathie 2357840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great outfit! Honestly, if you hadn't pointed out that it felt "off," I wouldn't have looked at the details. I think the jackets in the inspo pictures are just slightly longer, giving a more relaxed vibe. Also, while the more delicate pointy-toed shoes seem to work with the wide-legged pants, I find that a hard to pull off IRL, and usually go with a shoe with a bit more visual weight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357836 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 17:39:22 +0000 Suz 2357836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the wide legs on you! And the outfit, as <b>Jonesy</b> says, is simply more classic than the inspo pics. Not a bad thing -- just a different look!&nbsp;</p> <p>For myself -- I also go more classic than the inspo photos when I wear wide legs -- because that's me.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;And since I am shorter, I rarely wear a regular length blazer with my high waisted wide legs, but to make the proportions work better for my own, I instead go for a shorter jacket. To get the movement I crave, I also, as others have pointed out, tend in add more value contrast. And if not more value contrast between top and bottom, I tend to add more colour or a scarf. But this is just my own style signature coming out -- I think there are other good ways to get the look that works best for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357826 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 13:14:58 +0000 BlueJay 2357826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfit, Carla!</p> <p>In your outfit inspo looks, they tucked their tops with the blazers, like you did in #3, pics #1 and #2 your top isn't tucked, as Zaeobi says. I think that would help, also maybe adding a belt, maybe in a lighter colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357803 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 07:40:28 +0000 Zaeobi 2357803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe a lighter turtleneck underneath? </p> <p>The other thing I noticed was that your top comes past the belt loops in the first two photos - if you want to keep the darker colours, then maybe adding a belt would help? Like in photo #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357793 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 01:54:44 +0000 Jonesy 2357793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My two cents is that, first, I think this is a gorgeous outfit on you! I think it looks fab. In terms of the silhouette and the inspiration pics, it seems to me that your outfit is less slouchy overall: The jacket is more fitted (as you note) compared to the inspiration pics, the turtleneck is slim-fitting too, and the jeans are wide-legs, but not very slouchy (i.e., no dropped crotch, like #5). So, overall, to my eye your look is more classic, if that makes sense? It also seems less spring-y than maybe you were after, because of the dark tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357784 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 22:22:30 +0000 Style Fan 2357784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Irina's idea. Your light-coloured puffer or lilac trench would work, but then they aren't blazers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357777 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 21:59:29 +0000 Irina 2357777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how this turtleneck looks with jeans. To me, #3 is perfect. As for the blazer, I don’t think colors of the blazer and the denim &nbsp;work well.&nbsp;<div>I would like to see a light Uniqlo puffer over it or a trench (sorry, don’t remember if you have one).&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357774 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 21:43:28 +0000 Style Fan 2357774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit and proportions are excellent.&nbsp; I echo what others are saying about contrast.<br />I wonder if a lighter-coloured top would create more contrast and achieve the look in the inspirational pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357771 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 20:55:43 +0000 Laurie 2357771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those jeans look amazing on you. That's all I've got! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357765 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 19:25:12 +0000 Roberta 2357765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me as the fourth in the tones being too much of a sameness. At first I thought I wasn't crazy about the blazer, but I think it's what wiser minds than me have noticed. I would Try a shorter blazer in a lighter tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357762 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 17:54:49 +0000 Dee 2357762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree with <b>SarahD8</b>&nbsp;that its likely just the contrast levels that are making your outfit feel a bit off to you. Your outfit is all dark tones while your inspirations have a dark/light contrast with the top and jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357759 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 17:25:50 +0000 Jules 2357759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the proportions but I think the dark neutrals all together are coming across a bit dull - so agree with Sarah basically. </p> <p>To add, it might be a bit of seasonal fatigue with winter colour combos too. Like maybe this will feel fresh again in December, vs a lighter base layer for spring.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357758 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 17:16:41 +0000 SarahD8 2357758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I notice about your inspo photos is that there is more value contrast than there is in your outfit -- the light wash jeans to contrast with the dark top in 4, and the white/cream tops in 5-6. I feel like the value contrast breaks up the volume a bit. But your outfit is all dark -- maybe that is making it feel too visually "heavy"?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357757 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 17:12:29 +0000 Anonymous 2357757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla,I like everything as is. &nbsp;I love your hair,but may add a scarf and lipstick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6wide-leg-jeans#post-2357745 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 16:31:08 +0000 Carla 2357745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday DH and were invited for an afternoon of cards (bridge) with friends. &nbsp;They keep their house cool and it was a rainy, cold day. &nbsp;I layered up with cami, sweater, and jacket over my newer wide leg jeans - which I wore full length.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>I feel like there is something ‘off’ with the styling. &nbsp;I like the look of the pointed toe flats, but I’m not sure about the sweater and/or blazer jacket. &nbsp;My&nbsp;<i>thought&nbsp;</i>was that a turtleneck would elongate my upper half and balance the long line of the high waisted full length pants. &nbsp;I’m not sure if that was achieved? &nbsp;or, maybe the proportions of the jacket are wrong? &nbsp;It’s a more fitted piece and it seems slouchy and oversized is ‘in’?. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>#1-3 my attempt, 4-6 inspo</p> <p> </div><div>What say you?</div> </p>
