I would prefer a darker pair of jeans but thats me. Love the best. And I like it loose. Would you belt it a la Emmanuel Alt?

Love this shrunken style on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually love the J. Crew vest as a bit of a wild card for you. It looks like a piece you could play around with and if it stays at the office, so what? You got a lot of wear out of that boxy cardigan that was basically an "office sweater."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897356 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 01:51:44 +0000 Cee 1897356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... I have one grey Woolovers cashmere/merino poloneck, a faded grey T-shirt and a medium grey Lands' End turtleneck skivvy and that's about it.</p> <p>I may have to invest some more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897350 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 01:44:29 +0000 gryffin 1897350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale - I made peace with gray when I realized it was "black light"!&nbsp; Like the vest a lot.&nbsp; You could always swap out to a braided leather belt and tuck the end in a la EA or add a drop hip belt.&nbsp; Tie belts have a way of coming untied at least for me.&nbsp; Both outfits look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897343 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 01:02:48 +0000 Molly Mac 1897343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both outfits are right on trend and you wear both looks well. I like the vest without the belt, but if you want more structure, I would consider adding a thin leather belt. Patent leather or embossed for texture would add some subtle visual interest and you wouldn't have to worry about belt loops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897342 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 00:59:50 +0000 rachylou 1897342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!! Keep the sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897341 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 00:53:46 +0000 JAileen 1897341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your grey jeans. I really like the look in #1. I think long vest would look nice with a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897331 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 23:51:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 1897331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fab! I like the sleeveless gilet/vest/"thing". To me it does look like what I've seen of your style x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897330 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 23:43:34 +0000 jussie 1897330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fab :). I don’t think the vest is too shapeless, personally. You look really sharp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897328 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 23:15:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1897328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans -- just got a replacement pair of light grey ones myself -- as well as the look you have going with them. The long sleeveless vest-cardigan I'm less sure about. It seems to have less structure than the looks you usually favor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-less-black#post-1897323 Fri, 09 Mar 2018 22:45:26 +0000 Greyscale 1897323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wardrobe is still monochromatic, but I've been mixing in more white and grey recently. Today's outfit ended up much lighter than I intended. White and black striped silk shirt, high rise grey jeans, and my new biker jacket. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it! I don't like wearing this shirt with truly black jeans, but I think I'd prefer a darker grey or faded black. But I was in a rush and these were at the top of the pile. </p> <p>(Photo captures an unwitting motion that I do far more often than I realize: adjusting my glasses. It made me laugh so I didn't re-take the shot.)</p> <p>I'm also really waffling about this sleeveless cardigan from J Crew. It has a belt, but no belt loops, so I'm wearing it without the belt here. If I keep it, I might add little thread loops. I think it would look better with a loosely draped belt pulling it in at the waist. What do you think of it? Too shapeless? It's a nice heavy cotton/wool blend and I have to admit I'm cold in my office right now, so it's tempting to cut the tags! </p>
