Different looks for sure, but you do them equally well. I think the high contrast really works too because the sweater does not hit at the widest part of your bottom half, which is the problem I always feel I run into for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222385 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 18:26:29 +0000 MsMary 1222385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 'em both, but if I had to pick I would go with the high contrast look, which made me smile very broadly!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222269 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:57:46 +0000 rachylou 1222269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look good, but I think the low contrast for the season... unless it's turned grey and overcast like up here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222248 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:41:06 +0000 Adelfa 1222248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix, I see what you mean about the neckline on the dark top!</p> <p>Kelly, I noticed those things too. I carry my weight up top so I guess the dark color balances me out. I was trying to figure out why the dark looks more polished. I was puzzled because I think of low contrast looks as elegant.&nbsp;Footwear and fabrication, yes. But I wonder too if the dark/light somehow fits with my own coloring to look more pulled together. Not sure. I love the pink too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222243 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:37:26 +0000 Adelfa 1222243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane, I like both too :-)</p> <p>Columbine, yes definitely! I think I started going for lower contrast for figure flattery, but now I'm liking it for itself too.</p> <p>Janet, the mood of low and high contrast really is different, isn't it?</p> <p>Gennifyr, I definitely get repeating personal contrast in clothing. I think part of what has happened for me is that I started highlighting my hair and my own contrast level went from quite high to moderately high. This has influenced my color choices!</p> <p>Beth Ann, that's an interesting tip about exploring both but limiting color choices. I love this advice since I am pretty minimal. Pale pink is one of my "life" colors. I wonder if I could add one other pale color for low contrast looks. Maybe pale lavender or mint.&nbsp;I do mid to dark gray a lot, but I'm not sure that pale gray flatters me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222242 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:36:32 +0000 kellygirl 1222242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both too. I think the high contrast comes across as more "polished" than the pastel but that is due to foot wear too. I find the darker color on top also looks more slimming for some reason but both are very flattering on svelte you! Wear both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222236 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:30:45 +0000 Vix 1222236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Adelfa --</p> <p>As others have said, you pull off the high contrast with the white on the bottom really well! </p> <p>Since the black is a high neckline, however, and I do prefer the lighter top on you...the low contrast look wins in this particular battle.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222221 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:09:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1222221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know I do high contrast, and I think your high contrast look is quite slimming.&nbsp; We see the midline area as a graphic element --- not a wider body, if that makes sense.&nbsp; I love the soft tones on you as well, as I think your coloring can pull of both -- the warmth in your skin and hair makes that possible.&nbsp; <br />Something about the warm quality of the SoCal sun makes these colors particularly at home there.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'd encourage you to explore wearing both contrasts, but to limit your palette in each to keep your wardrobe from losing cohesion.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222216 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:01:59 +0000 Gennifyr 1222216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both on you. &nbsp;For me, I like high contrast looks because I have high contrast colouring so it just looks meshes better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222214 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 16:00:59 +0000 Janet 1222214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love both on you! </p> <p>I like high and low contrast on me too, but I depends on the pieces and my mood. When it comes to light or white bottoms, I almost always go low-contrast because I'd rather not call more attention to my bottom half. But you wear white bottoms so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222212 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 15:58:12 +0000 columbine(erin) 1222212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Diane I think&nbsp;both are good. However, low contrast and columns of color are really appealing to me these days. The pink t is pretty on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222199 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 15:37:42 +0000 Anonymous 1222199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh! Tough call. I like both contrast levels. I know, no help am I? You rock both looks equally well to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hi-or-low-contrast-with-white#post-1222196 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 15:34:12 +0000 Adelfa 1222196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been pairing fluid tees with white jeans. In general these days I am going for lower contrast looks than ever before, but I also tried a higher contrast look for fun. I can see the pink tee outfit with more refined, lower contrast footwear, but I was headed out to walk the dog. The cut across the waist in the high contrast outfit is severe, so I tried to mitigate it with low contrast options in each half of the outfit (shoes, jewelry).</p> <p>What do you think? Is low or high contrast appealing to you these days?</p> <p>pink tee: Joie<br />charcoal tee: Mango<br />jeans: Kut Catherine Slim BF<br />sneakers: Cons<br />pumps: Stuart Weitzman</p> <p>Sorry for the dog bed and picture in the second photo! </p>
