I love that dress on its own, too, it's a beautiful piece.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315955 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 12:38:01 +0000 Tanya 2315955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input!&nbsp; Some varied opinions here, which I expected.</p> <p>Irina and Lyn67, I agree that a fitted knit dress is not ideal and that a looser shirtdress would be better, but I don't have any with long sleeves that can be worn now, so figured I could experiment with the knit dress and see if it works.&nbsp; The bottom, worn open, does not cling - it glides nicely over the pants, it is only the top part of the dress that clings.&nbsp; Since I would wear these pants with a body-con knit regular top anyway, it wasn't an issue for me.</p> <p>Angie, Jaime, Star and Sisi, you are very kind, thanks!&nbsp; Glad to hear that short jacket works to your eye.</p> <p>Suz, thank you!&nbsp; &nbsp; I am very happy with those light blue cargo pants.&nbsp; &nbsp;They have already been worn several times even if they are more of a summer-weight, and I think they will be workhorses this year.</p> <p>Brooklyn, I think I know what you mean.&nbsp; I like it with the short moto, but would probably like it even better with a long topper.&nbsp; Unfortunately I do not have anything suitable.&nbsp; I think it would need a spring-weight drapey trench or similar in a length similar to the dress, and the only one I have is dark navy and would in theory go with this outfit, but I wanted to keep it light in colors.&nbsp; I have a drapey sleeveless trench/gilet in white, and I tried it, but it did not work to my eye as it is about 10" shorter than the dress.&nbsp; So I concluded that the long topper would need to be the same length as the dress or slightly longer.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315921 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 09:40:55 +0000 Brooklyn 2315921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! But I’m not too sure about the moto jacket TBH. It starts to look more choppy and lose that long, luxurious, uber dramatic appeal. I think I’d prefer a longer jacket or coat. Something closer in length to the dress. Or a long gilet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315920 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 09:39:41 +0000 Sisi 2315920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like this a lot ! All what <b>Angie </b>said. I like it with the short jacket - I like the different lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315919 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 09:24:15 +0000 lyn67 2315919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works, but it depends on your liking ref the bodycon fit over pants. I have a very similar cardidress...my ideea now is&nbsp; to wear it like a duster, brilliant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315918 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 09:16:58 +0000 Star (Lise) 2315918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool!&nbsp; A fave for me too.&nbsp; Everything works.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315901 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 03:33:15 +0000 Suz 2315901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, <b>Tanya</b>! I totally think it works in all iterations and really like it with the moto -- a bit of textural contrast&nbsp;</p> <p>Those are stunning pants, too, by the way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315899 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 03:28:19 +0000 Jaime 2315899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, what Angie just said ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315861 Thu, 30 Mar 2023 21:46:34 +0000 Angie 2315861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 = KILLER to the Power of KILLER </p> <p>LOVE!!!

I, personally, prefer looser dresses for this formula.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-326-dress-over-pants#post-2315857 Thu, 30 Mar 2023 21:29:20 +0000 Tanya 2315857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my first attempt at this formula, worn past weekend.&nbsp; &nbsp;It is a variation of the 4th suggestion, with a long button-through knit cream dress (so-called cardigan dress) instead of a shirt dress.&nbsp; It was worn half-open over pale blue wide cargo pants, with cream oxfords and blue cross body.&nbsp; &nbsp;It was quite warm so I did not need a topper.&nbsp; I only tried the cream moto over to see if it works, as I find coats/toppers for this formula tricky.&nbsp; &nbsp;What do you think, does it work, or would you suggest trying something else and what?</p> <p> </p>
