Like Ummlila, white boots are always winners to me (especially as they provide a bookend to your hair).</p> <p>I'm sad to say goodbye to your Dark Romance theme, although I am excited about your new Spring theme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312821 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 22:25:40 +0000 MsMaven 2312821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots and pants and think the length of the pants is just fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>I look forward to seeing the top over other shirts--slimmer, yes, but how about a pale color or a print?</p> <p>And I love the whole outfit put together in #3. I love your posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312738 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:50:00 +0000 jussie 2312738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me, I don’t see any problems </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312705 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 03:06:05 +0000 Jaime 2312705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! Boots with pants are great - so much more interesting than black. I like the corset over blouse effect here. Would I like it better under a lower profile blouse? I don't know until you try it . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312702 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 01:48:57 +0000 Tanya 2312702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input!&nbsp; The consensus appears to be that the pant length is good as is and that they work very well with the white boots.&nbsp; Regarding the corset over the shirt, there were more varied thoughts, but overall it was "it looks well if it feels well".&nbsp; &nbsp;It felt perfectly fine.&nbsp; I will try it with sleeker shirt, too.</p> <p>Joy, my coloring is indeed medium-to-low contrast.&nbsp; However I don't' think too much about matching that in my outfits, sometimes I will, sometimes I won't.&nbsp; Having said that, I do have silver booties and will try the pants with them, too.</p> <p>Irina, I will try the corset over slimmer shirt as well.</p> <p>ChristelJ, yes, the burgundy softens the whole color scheme, I think.</p> <p>Dee, you are correct that peasant style shirts are not really my style, but I have a couple sort-of-along those lines.&nbsp; I will try those, too.</p> <p>Suntiger, will try similar layering without jackets when it gets warmer.</p> <p>Laurie, I can try the outfit without the corset too, it would be classic suit + shirt combo then.</p> <p>Angie, thank you very much on your opinions.&nbsp; Glad to hear it all looks good to your expert eye.</p> <p>Suz, I wore the thing the combo the whole day yesterday and it did not need much adjustment at all.&nbsp; It feels OK, I was more concerned about how it looks.</p> <p>Slim cat, glad you like the outfit.</p> <p>Kkards, ME+EM has some fabulous stuff and some great layering ideas.&nbsp; I will be trying to recreate some of their outfits for the spring.&nbsp; Every month when they launch I new collection, I think that I would love to wear half of it. I wish they were more affordable.</p> <p>Roberta, I will certainly play with versions without jacket or with non-neutral jackets.</p> <p>Nikki, thank you for sharing those great inspo photos.&nbsp; It is a fun look.</p> <p>UmmLila, thanks! Not quite sure what you mean by a "lower profile" shirt: a sleeker one, one with a deeper neckline or something else?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312698 Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:20:59 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2312698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of this corset very much but would prefer to see it with a lower profile shirt underneath.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>And I like white boots with everything :-)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312677 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 20:52:30 +0000 Anonymous 2312677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome WIWs. I really like the corset over shirt look. Very pretty on you. I saved some pics because I wanted to try the look myself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312659 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 19:10:02 +0000 Roberta 2312659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the corset top over the white shirt - timeless and chic.&nbsp; I hear you on the bunchiness; I don't see it, but you might feel it. A drapier textile might help. I have a Tencel blend white button front that I wear under sweaters because it doesn't feel as crispy crunchy.</p> <p>IMHO, the jacket lessens the effect. You might try another jacket in a color? The color of your coat looks great with the black and white, for example. Or leave it out altogether to show off the corset silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312652 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 18:09:48 +0000 kkards 2312652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the white boots with this outfit! its a perfect balance to the top<br />i like the layered effect on the shirt, but hear you on the bunching, it doesn't look bunched but sometimes when i try to layer like that, i spend all day straightening&nbsp; and fiddling with my shirt. so i guess if it feels ok to you, than it's good. on the other hand, I'm trying to justify - or find a way cheaper alternative - the ME + EM layering shirt which is a knit body with woven arms and placard, and feels like it would be ideal for this outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312643 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 16:32:51 +0000 slim cat 2312643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White boots are perfect for the slits - fab look all together! The shirt/corset works - it's more about your comfort and personal preferences. Gorgeous outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312640 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 16:05:30 +0000 Suz 2312640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love the white boots with these! Go for it. Love the length on you, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. I like the corset over the shirt, too -- clever and fun! I would wear it around a bit at home to see how it feels. I can imagine that if you find yourself tugging at it all the time it might be a problem -- but then again, maybe not!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312637 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 15:21:20 +0000 Angie 2312637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><u>My 2 cents on your questions:</u></p> <p>1. LOVE the white boots here. Contrast is dramatic and crisp!</p> <p>2. I LOVE the fashion forward length of the pants! Edgy. It works well, and especially with the vents that draw the eye up and down, adding vertical integrity.</p> <p>3. As long as the layering is comfy, and not annoying - I see no problem with the bunching.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312636 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 15:12:31 +0000 Angie 2312636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the Power of KILLER&nbsp;</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312629 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 14:47:39 +0000 Laurie 2312629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit, and the slit pants (big fan) with light boots (love the heels!).

The slim dark shape of the pants is still lengthening I think. Love the burgundy and scarf additions in photo 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312619 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 14:01:23 +0000 Irina 2312619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light booties with the pants, looks cohesive to me. As for a corset, I would try it with a fitted shirt for comparison but even with this one it looks great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312617 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 13:54:17 +0000 Anonymous 2312617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The corset over your shirt looks good on you. &nbsp;It does not look too bunchy in your photos. &nbsp;The black and white is high contrast and your coloring does not seem high contrast. &nbsp;Do you have silver booties or grey to try? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-front-slit-pants-with-some-questions#post-2312614 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 13:41:51 +0000 Tanya 2312614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week is the final week for my Dark Romance winter theme, so yesterday I decided to experiment a bit more than usual.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I have a black pantsuit, with pants with front slits. I find the pants much easier to pair with shoes in warmer weather when you can let skin show through the slits.&nbsp; In the winter, when you need booties, I have been wearing them with black boots, but found the effect meh, as the slits were sort of lost.&nbsp; &nbsp;In the Monday's blog post, in the collection, there was an example of similar pants worn with high contrast white booties, so I decided to give that a try.</p> <p>I have also seen multiple looks of corset-like tops worn over white shirts, to make them more wearable, so decided to give that a try as well. Instead of the usual black coat, decided to go for burgundy one and matching beret.&nbsp; And since the booties have a fun zebra heel, went for spotted scarf for a small does of pattern mixing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I have several questions:<br />1) What do you think of these pants worn with white booties?&nbsp; Is the effect jarring?&nbsp; &nbsp;What other color booties would you try?<br />2) Pant length - these are currently at the new full length, just below the ankle bone.&nbsp; I have worn this length with flat-ish shoes before, but not with heels like here.&nbsp; &nbsp;Does it work or it really shortens the leg line?&nbsp; I do have an option to let them out if necessary as there is an extra inch of material at the hem.<br />3) I like the effect of the corset layered over the shirt, but since the shirt is very relaxed, almost oversized, it makes it bunch.&nbsp; &nbsp;Of course, back in the past when the corsets wore worn regularly, everything underneath them looked poufy.&nbsp; Does this look OK or should I try it with slimmer shirt for less bunching? </p>
