I have a tank dress that might be slim enough to go with it well. It is a bit of a sack dress, though, and I think waist definition is important under this shirt. I'll have to try it and see.</p> <p>I tried it with my highest-waist jeans (waistband on my navel), but my torso is so long that it leaves a lot of skin exposed. And tucking in a cami seemed to break up the line too much. However - the exposed skin would be totally fine for weekend wear, so maybe I'll just do that next time. I do have one pair of dress slacks that are high enough, but they are too nice to wear to lab. I saw some nice cotton high-waist pants recently - maybe I'll give them a try.</p> <p>These jeans are fine in outfits with loose tops, but they're just not that flattering in any case and the rips are getting too ripped over time. I bought them as emergency jeans last year when everything was too small, and I'll probably keep them as backup, but I have other loose-fit jeans that are better for most outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1684286 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 19:28:37 +0000 Beth Ann 1684286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pants could have a "dystopian movie" cool if styled differently --- do you have "room" for a "roomy" pair of distressed jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1684094 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 14:18:22 +0000 Tanya 1684094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this too on you, and like tha pairing with the black jeans. I got the same top in white and have been wearing it mostly with very high waisted bottoms.<br /> I also 100% agree with you on BR last season- I know most people disliked it, but I really enjoyed the fresh look and am a bit sad they gave up on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1684069 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:52:37 +0000 Angie 1684069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale, may I suggest that you pair the top with high waisted pants/jeans or a regular skirt. The length of the camisole looks off to my eye, and takes away from the architectural integrity of the top.&nbsp;</p> <p>The top could also work well over a sheath dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1684054 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:33:51 +0000 Sara L. 1684054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the crop over the tank.&nbsp; I have a cropped top that&nbsp;I like to wear over a dress.&nbsp; It takes the thought out of figuring out the right layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1684040 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:21:09 +0000 Janet 1684040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really love the top (and tank treatment) on you! I do think the jeans look a bit big, so I understand what you mean there. I'm not feeling oversized jeans anymore, which may be convenient since some of mine that were distinctly baggy 3 years ago are much less so now. :-/</p> <p>ETA: I love the idea of white jeans with this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1684033 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:07:32 +0000 Suz 1684033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot! The top looks great on you in my opinion. I love the idea of a white pair of jeans with this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1683992 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 12:00:58 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1683992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how this works ... did you get the idea from Lisa's kensie top? It is difficult to see the fit of the jeans, but I like the idea of white ones as an alternative also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1683960 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 11:13:48 +0000 Real_me 1683960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crop tops look very good with high waisted wide leg trousers fitting at the hips, something like in attached images. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1683931 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 09:26:26 +0000 rachylou 1683931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. This is something I'd wear over a dress... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1683782 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 02:18:18 +0000 Greyscale 1683782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool idea. I don't own any white jeans but I considered getting some. The Gap had some that I loved but never bought, last year. Slim boyfriends with a weathered finish that wasn't pure white. It was very much my style. I'd shock everyone at work if I came in white jeans, which would be fun.</p> <p>Though I haven't been posting here much, I've been wearing a lot of white shirts recently. I like the contrast with my usual black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1683779 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 02:13:31 +0000 Anonymous 1683779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is totally perfect and you are so cool! But yeah, the jeans are just a bit big on you , that's all. I really like that top - especially with a tank under like this . Do you wear white jeans at all? It would look great with those too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-challenging-silhouette#post-1683776 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 02:10:48 +0000 Greyscale 1683776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or maybe not so challenging. I bought this BR cropped shirt last year -- I know a few of you have the same one. I loved the concept, but I've only worn it a few times. I couldn't figure out how to make it work without baring too much midriff.&nbsp;I finally found a light tank top that fits under it and covers the gap. Obvious in retrospect!&nbsp;</p> <p>The other challenge is just getting used to the boxy look. Until I took these photos, I thought this style of top wasn't the best on me -- but once again a photo changed my perspective.</p> <p>On the other hand, these ripped Zara jeans look less lovely than I'd thought. They really are just too big, and the extra fabric of the jeans and the tank top combine poorly.&nbsp;I'll try this outfit again with relaxed skinny jeans and a slimmer cami, and consider passing these jeans along.</p> <p>I did really like the BR offerings the season this shirt came out. Unconventional shapes, interesting ideas. I can see why it wasn't commercially successful but the few things I bought from BR that year have all become favorites. </p>
