I love the low contrast and the fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273885 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:17:42 +0000 Gracie 1273885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works!&nbsp; All the colors play very nicely together and the slouchy fit of the khakis looks right to my eyes. Perhaps a metallic belt will help with the loose feel of the khakis.&nbsp; I think the black studded bag adds a pop of contrast to the outfit and I know it's bookending your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273876 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:11:20 +0000 Aida 1273876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pants, definitely looks like a slouchy khaki. Use a belt, it will help with the feel LOVE the metallic loafers with this, very nice touch of glam. I think I'd prefer this without the vest to keep the look a bit more streamlined which might also help combat the baggy feel. And then semi-tuck the shirt to show off the belt and add a little <i>more</i> structure. I too have trouble with slouchy khakis, yet other slouchy pants are OK. I think you're onto something&nbsp;about it being something to do with the thicker fabric. For that reason, I bought slimmer relaxed khakis instead of a truly oversized pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273670 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:44:56 +0000 Neel 1273670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww thank you lovely ones! I am a bit at ease now about the pants.</p> <p>But truth be told, I wasn't really happy with the outfit for some reason. Felt a bit *sloppy*. Could be because this is the first pair of khakis for me and I might take time to get used to the thickish material. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273583 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:27:18 +0000 Angie 1273583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casual Baggy Fabness with a touch of Glam.

The shoes and metallic shine of the vest are brilliant together - love that!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273543 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:32:51 +0000 jackiec 1273543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Neel - I think your outfit looks great! Love the fit of the khakis. I have the same ones I think, and they feel the same. Intentionally slouchy, which I love! YLF!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273534 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:17:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1273534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the fit of the khakis - nothing a belt won't solve. And they look fab with that lovely fluid tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273503 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:35:09 +0000 pil 1273503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look terrific too! The neutrals are quiet and restful but still interesting with the details you have put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273500 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:28:27 +0000 Neel 1273500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone! I think the linen version in the same size fits me much better. Anyways .. Too late now that I have ripped the tags and worn it already. I will enjoy them and call them my slouchy khakis </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273490 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:12:24 +0000 Jaime 1273490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Mona about the vest and loafers. The fit looks good to me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273475 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:59:50 +0000 Anonymous 1273475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks good, and a belt would fix it. I like it with the metallic flats a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273463 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:36:41 +0000 Mona 1273463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit came together rather nicely. The metallic flats echo the sequins on the vest and colours are harmonious all over. The fit of khakis looks good to me. I have the same khakis in olive and I sized up for a roomier fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273455 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:16:03 +0000 leopardluxe 1273455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks just right and really like the low contrast combo and the use of the sequined vest to add a bit of sparkle/shine to the laid back look. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-mismash-of-khakis-and-vest#post-1273435 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 09:45:57 +0000 Neel 1273435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to wear my new Gap&nbsp;khakis today ....&nbsp;with the&nbsp;black vest but it looked frumpy with flats of all kinds&nbsp;(And I was in no mood for heels today to run errands). &nbsp;Then I was digging for casual fluid white/gray tee. &nbsp;No I don't have one(!) Gladiators - No luck yet. &nbsp;Nothing that fits this super low volume feet. &nbsp;Brown/Cognac handbag - No.</p> <p>Then I ran short of time and this is what I came up with. &nbsp;Meh ... but I have to post it anyway! &nbsp;I tried too hard to re-create the ensemble. &nbsp;LOL!</p> <p>So khakis (Gap)&nbsp;with oversized graphic tee (Mango/old), olive sequined vest (Mango/old) and&nbsp;pewter loafers (cheapie)&nbsp;it is! &nbsp;Black studded tote (Steve Madden/old)&nbsp;because I did not have the time to switch bags! &nbsp;I am not sure how this turned out. &nbsp;My happiness factor is always low in low contrast neutral outfits. &nbsp;But I was comfy and cool. &nbsp;</p> <p>So I am&nbsp;up for suggestions for improvements! &nbsp;Thank you for looking and commenting as always :)</p> <p>P.S Sorry for the headless pics. &nbsp;I was a bit frazzled after the trip. </p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;Do these khakis look a tad&nbsp;too roomy? &nbsp;I had to pull it up all the while to keep it in place (a belt can fix that). &nbsp;A size down&nbsp;would be a bit too snug around the tummy causing a muffin top, I think. &nbsp;Does the fit&nbsp;look off to you?</p>
