So good for summer. Never say never </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412092 Sun, 03 May 2026 18:33:47 +0000 Lisa 2412092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Aquamarine</b> - I'm delighted to try chinos for summer this season because last year the linen was a disappointment. It would be nice to have a non shorts option in the heat.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - *happily collects killer rating* Indeed, the slides and bag are a perfect pair. :)</p> <p>Your chinos for summer are lovely! I look forward to trying chinos this season because the linen last year really didn't work well for me, which was disappointing. This summer I plan to keep linen to shirts and see how chinos do for an alternative to shorts when I want more leg coverage. I'm excited to give them a try this season!</p> <p><b>LJP</b> - I also think the slides look very versatile, I'm delighted to hear that you found them useful!</p> <p><b>Suz </b>- I'm excited to give the chinos a try this season since the linen were such a disappointment last year. It would be nice to have a non shorts option when I want extra leg coverage.</p> <p><b>Star (Lise)</b> - I'm eager to find non jeans options for warmer weather, hopefully these chinos fit that need nicely. :)</p> <p><b>slim cat </b>- The slides and bag were meant to be, they are such a perfect match. :)</p> <p><b>kellygirl</b> - If I wore chinos for work all the time I'd probably be tired of them too. I'm looking forward to styling these for my WFH lifestyle.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412088 Sun, 03 May 2026 18:01:05 +0000 kellygirl 2412088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection! Glad you found the sandals. I hope they're workhorses for you. Fab chinos too. I wore those for years for work and I'm pretty sure they're not in my future but they look great on you. Never say never but I'm pretty sure never. LOL. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412064 Sun, 03 May 2026 05:21:15 +0000 slim cat 2412064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a lucky find - perfect match!

I'm really enjoying pants instead of jeans lately, even though it is still jeans weather. I imagine those sandals will be very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412060 Sun, 03 May 2026 04:36:38 +0000 Suz 2412060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants look great! I hope you enjoy them more than the linen. I love cognac accessories. These sandals work great with your bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412058 Sun, 03 May 2026 02:42:00 +0000 LJP 2412058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fitting pants and I love the sandal/ bag pairing . I have a pair of those same sandals from a diff brand and they are very useful and work with a lot . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412057 Sun, 03 May 2026 01:55:05 +0000 Angie 2412057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER match on the new slides with that awesome bag! You were dead right not to resist ;)</p> <p>LOVE the chinos - and it's a biased love because comfy roomy cotton chinos have my heart in the Summer too. I have a boyfriend-y pair from Boden, and a BIG cream pair from Everlane. (See FINDS). They really hit the right note, since I don't wear linen anymore.&nbsp;</p> <p>You make a printed tee look chic and pretty, <b>Lisa</b>!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412054 Sun, 03 May 2026 00:41:48 +0000 Aquamarine 2412054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chinos are definitely a summer pant option. I’m always looking for the perfect pair, and agree that linen can be too beachy (and often not polished enough). Good find, those sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412051 Sat, 02 May 2026 23:46:44 +0000 Lisa 2412051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni NZ</b> - The box on the shoes says "cognac Ayden Slide Sandals by Michael by Michael Shannon" but I agree with you, they are more slide than sandal to me too. :)</p> <p><b>Jaime</b> - I also think the match is perfect, thanks for looking!</p> <p><b>unfrumped </b>- Talbots sounds like a great option for chinos, I'll keep that in mind. And I can sympathize with a waist fit, I also find it a challenge to find a waist that fits me well, often they gape too much in the back of the waist, or the waist is too low for my preferences.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412050 Sat, 02 May 2026 23:35:41 +0000 unfrumped 2412050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I am a big chino fan as I wear shorts less often and I like the cotton chino fabric better than most jeans. I really need a high- quality, high-waisted ( or highER waisted —very hard for me to hit my true waist) , tailored style, straight leg to girlfriend-adjacent, maybe a brand/ style that I slightly size up &amp; tailor waist down. I have some chinos from Talbots that git me through last year but they sit a bit too low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412049 Sat, 02 May 2026 23:17:05 +0000 Jaime 2412049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a perfect match! Nice outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412044 Sat, 02 May 2026 22:32:48 +0000 Jenni NZ 2412044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a strong matchy-matchy gene as well! (You probably know that ) So I love how the new slides go with the bag.<br /> Don’t think I own chinos but I have several pairs of summer long pants of thin fabric- not linen. Our temperatures are all over the place too. Now in our last month of autumn.<br /> I don’t call shoes sandals unless they have a back strap, out of interest. I would call yours slides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-something-new-and-what-i-bought#post-2412042 Sat, 02 May 2026 21:38:15 +0000 Lisa 2412042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello.</p> <p>After a week of cold and rainy days I was happy to return to some warmer weather today. This spring the weather has been keeping me on my toes, some days it's hot enough for a short sleeve tee and shorts, other days it's cold enough for a sweater and boots!</p> <p><b>#1 to #3 - Trying Something New</b><br /> When the weather gets too warm for jeans, I often reach for shorts. Last year I tried linen wide leg pants as an alternative and while they were comfortable, the linen seemed too beachy for my WFH lifestyle and elevated casual personal style.</p> <p>This season I decided to try these JCrew chino's in stone as a non jeans, non shorts alternative. </p> <p>For their first outing I paired the chino's with a moss green graphic Life is Good tee and white Ecco sneakers. My JW Pei tote from last year's NAS pairs well with the reversible Tory Burch belt on the cognac side. </p> <p><b>#4 to #6 - What I Bought</b><br /> While running errands I stepped into a Rack Room Shoes, not a store I visit often and stumbled upon these cognac Ayden Slide Sandals by Michael by Michael Shannon which perfectly matches my tote and belt. </p> <p>My machy-matchy gene couldn't resist taking the sandals home. I think they work really well with the belt, bag, and chinos.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
