You can certainly tuck You could also use a hi-low hem and tuck just the front. LOVE the shorter 'do, so sassy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754906 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 02:07:41 +0000 Isis 754906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll second Una- this outfit begs for one of your cool hats! You are a natural for tucking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754793 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:45:17 +0000 moira 754793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if the "paper bag" look might seem more pronounced with a skinny belt?</p> <p>I also think a pointier shoe with a bit of a heel, a bootie perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754317 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:47:59 +0000 catgirl 754317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look! It's a look I strove for back in the late 80s and have wanted to recreate again - if only my waist would make an appearance. I think a scarf or some sort of dashing hat would make this PERFECT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754246 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:40:01 +0000 Jaime 754246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie you are so sweet and you really know how to make my day. Haute Tomboy Safari! A rare compliment - as a matter fact, I think it might be unique! In any case, I dearly treasure it. Thank you everyone for easing my tucking fears - I was so in fear of the tuck that being fashion backward was the least of my worries! I am glad these pants passed muster (more or less). I would never have dared try without YLF - what more can I say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754206 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:46:42 +0000 Angie 754206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have so missed your outfits darling, Shevia. What a treat :)</p> <p>(LOVING the short, cheeky new do, btw).</p> <p>Of course tucking works on you! Very well in fact. Love those casual trousers. On trend! </p> <p>You are looking very Haute Tomboy Safari. Makes your pretty face shine even more brightly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754203 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:42:31 +0000 celia 754203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pants, but will let others declare them fashionable or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754131 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:27:20 +0000 TraceyLiz65 754131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I steer away from pleated pants... This doesn't look bad and your figure looks good, I think tucking with a different pair of flat front pants would be fabulous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754129 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:25:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 754129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has a bit of an "Indiana Jones" feel to it Shevia and I actually like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754042 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 05:31:56 +0000 Beth Ann 754042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia: I think Deborah has some great ideas, and Shiny is right, this could easily be perceived as retro, with almost a "paperbag waist." What about pairing it with a crisp shirt, rolling the pant legs and trying a slightly lighter oxford, slipper flat or bootie?</p> <p>I also find that I'm ready to explore high waists and even pleats again, but it can take some experimentation to create a look that is modern and fresh. </p> <p>P.S. With the pairing you have here, a long, casual pendant would be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-754001 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 04:15:25 +0000 deb 754001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think tucking works for you I am not fond og the pleated pants, though. Could you try with non pleated trousers?. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-753985 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 03:22:45 +0000 Jaime 753985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you both! I am very self conscious about my thick middle. I know I am not overweight, but my stomach muscles are damaged from my huge (and I mean huge) pregnancy and it is really hard for me to look at my side view objectively. </p> <p>These are probably not the best pants for lots of reasons but it is easier for me to deal with a higher waist tuck because of the way I am shaped in the middle. I think you are completely right Deborah that the shoes are too dark and heavy here - but I did want to road test them (they were totally comfortable!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-753982 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 03:13:40 +0000 Deborah 753982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia I think you look cute I think I would prefer to see a lover contrast between the pants and the shoes, having said that though the belt does work nicely with the shoes (great shoes BTW). Because the outfit is summery and light, some skin showing around the foot would be good, the shoe looks just a little heavy to me.</p> <p>I think you can definitely tuck. you have a lovely figure and these pants have a slouchy vibe, and I don't mind a high waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-753980 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 03:09:43 +0000 shiny 753980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to guess those pants are so out of date, they are now back in style. I dunno.. I am liking the vibe here. Though, you have the figure I'd bet you'd totally rock lower rise belted and tucked easily... no? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---tucking-does-this-work#post-753969 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 02:33:12 +0000 Jaime 753969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not tucked in years. At least since my twins were born. But I was feeling reckless and decided to try tucking into these high waisted pants. I look at the pictures and really have no idea if this is disaster or is salvageable and what tweaks are needed. T- shirt too low? Pants too short? Shoes should be closer in color and/or higher? Pants out of date? Forget tucking? Please advise!</p> <p>(Thrifted Zara paperbag trousers, thrifted Robert Clergerie oxfords, thrifted belt, Zara t-shirt) </p>
