Nice look. </p> <p>I agree with the suggestions to try a fix on the buttons/holes before giving up on it. I have a number of shirts that do the same thing! I think sometimes the buttonholes are just a smidge too big for the buttons, or the buttons too small for the holes. I've also just used a bit of fashion tape to keep the shirt closed when it seems like a small gaping issue contributes to the problem -- it seems so many shirts are cut with buttons that hit right above and below the fullest part of my chest, which seems to contribute to the issue. And there are some shirts I just always wear with a tank underneath. I've also done the thing where I simply stitch the shirt up and put it on over my head, if it's roomy enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606573 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 15:20:41 +0000 Mirjana 1606573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful shirt, I agree with Lindalu tray to wear it open over black turtleneck or tank top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606560 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 14:34:20 +0000 lindalu 1606560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great on you!&nbsp; Could you wear it open, over a plain black t or tank? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606556 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 14:13:05 +0000 unfrumped 1606556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice to get the buffalo check in less expected color. It looks great like that and can see more options to combine with leather, buckles, Metallica to look even less traditional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606545 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 13:38:53 +0000 LaPed 1606545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, a beautiful shirt with bad buttons... I'd maybe try sewing it shut, or finding slightly larger-diameter buttons to replace the originals. </p> <p>Or (what I'd probably do), just wear it open shirt-jac style over a graphic tee.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's such a great shirt -- I bought DH a very similar cobalt buffalo shirt for the holidays and it's one of his favorites now. So nice to see him in a bold color for once -- hard to find for guys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606536 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 12:54:06 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1606536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt in plaid.<br /> Someone can explain me whar RATE means? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606534 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 12:31:16 +0000 Jjsloane 1606534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the buttons, I like the color and the plaid on you. If I really love the item I fashion tape it up, but that seems a bother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606533 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 12:26:32 +0000 Anonymous 1606533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shirt on you. &nbsp;It is such a shame that it is flawed. &nbsp;Hopefully you will be able to find something similar (or better) that works for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606472 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 06:30:23 +0000 Diana 1606472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I have had skirts that I had to take off over my head because I couldn't get the waistband over my hips! So clearly we have different problems! ;). Maybe you could get snaps put in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606468 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 06:18:58 +0000 CocoLion 1606468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plaid really suits your style and the shiny boots are super cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606451 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 04:45:05 +0000 kellygirl 1606451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this color and pattern on you! Hope u can find a replacement--stat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606450 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 04:40:26 +0000 catgirl 1606450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I can get this over my head - as an IT I often have to step into dresses instead of putting them on the regular way. I am looking at some Rails shirts which look perfect but are quite expensive. Anyone have other ideas? I came very close to a wardrobe accident and I don't think it's the buttons because they all do it - it's a design flaw. Oh well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606442 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 04:17:09 +0000 Karie 1606442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt looks great on you. When I've had that problem with buttons I've done what Diana said - run a stitch about half way up the placket and put the shirt on over my head. It works!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606440 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 04:03:50 +0000 Marmee 1606440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL about Diana's suggestion to sew the shirt closed and slide it over your head. &nbsp;With my shoulders, I'd likely rip the shirt if I tried to do that.</p> <p>Great color on you. &nbsp;I feel like the cobalt elevates the shirt from the standard red version.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606433 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 03:39:53 +0000 Theodora 1606433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in cobalt! Hope you can figure out the button issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606399 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 03:10:18 +0000 Jaime 1606399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting that you find cobalt to be hard to find on RATE items - I'd thought about it. Top looks great on you, although those buttons wouldn't last a minute on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606360 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 02:05:17 +0000 Kaelyn 1606360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt is my favorite color. I love it worn this way. Looks cool and effortless, but the bold color makes the shirt interesting. I think you're right about it being more common in polished items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606359 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 02:02:58 +0000 Aquamarine 1606359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astute point about polished vs. RATE....but it's a great color on you.,Love it in the plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606353 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 01:52:23 +0000 Windchime 1606353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in cobalt!</p> <p>I hadn't thought about many cobalt items being more polished than RATE, but I believe you have a point. Maybe that's why it's underrepresented in my wardrobe even though I adore it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606350 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 01:44:35 +0000 Diana 1606350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt looks great on you! With shirts that gape or won't stay buttoned, I just sew the front shut and put it on over my head. I never wear them open anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606349 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 01:30:24 +0000 Aida 1606349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you Una, maybe replace the buttons with larger ones or stitch a little of the button holes closed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606337 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 01:04:35 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1606337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great addition to your wardrobe and definitely in line with your style. I hope someone has some wise advice regarding the button issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606336 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 01:01:36 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1606336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you and it definitely is so great with your style that the cobalt is a plaid rather than solid. The whole outfit is wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-cobalt#post-1606332 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 00:53:40 +0000 catgirl 1606332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like cobalt but don't have much as it seems to be one of those grown-up colors with more polished than RATE items.&nbsp; Anyway, I'd picked up this flannel shirt at the Rack and wore it today with my old grey COH skinnies and these oil slick sneakers for a casual day out and about.&nbsp; </p> <p>I love the shirt but the buttons won't stay done even though it's not&nbsp;tight&nbsp;- they are a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen!&nbsp; I need a substitute because it's a great weekend item, and I can see it with leather skinnies or my leather skirt too. </p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
