Heat tech in winter and Airism for summer. Their thing is tech fabrics in not so gearish shapes. I find their clothes a bit too preppy/sporty but sometimes I find gems like these shorts. I do try to stop by when I'm in NYC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-for-a-warm-rainy-friday-and-some-spiegel-snaps#post-1002846 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 06:56:53 +0000 jayne 1002846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, that shorts (yeah plaid) and those oxfords are fab together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-for-a-warm-rainy-friday-and-some-spiegel-snaps#post-1002843 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 06:50:28 +0000 goldenpig 1002843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the plaid shorts outfit!

A nice nod to fall, which I wish would arrive already. Love the jacket - the back does look especially nice on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-for-a-warm-rainy-friday-and-some-spiegel-snaps#post-1002304 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 15:40:45 +0000 Anonymous 1002304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shorts with the oxfords, and the jacket looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-for-a-warm-rainy-friday-and-some-spiegel-snaps#post-1002302 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 15:39:18 +0000 Lantana 1002302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your shorts outfit and the jacket too. I think the broad lapels work well on you and the back is an excellent fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-for-a-warm-rainy-friday-and-some-spiegel-snaps#post-1002296 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 15:33:30 +0000 Diana 1002296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today is quite rainy but also quite warm, so I opted for shorts and a loose and sheer, but covered up blouse.&nbsp; Chose my grey oxfords to keep my toes from getting wet.&nbsp; Nothing too special, but it feels comfy and is quick drying!</p> <p>I'm also attaching some photos I took last night of the Spiegel jacket in case anyone wants to see how it fits a short waisted pear.&nbsp; (I lightened the photos so you could see detail, hence they are a little grainy and washed out.)&nbsp; I like that it looks a bit oversized from the front but tailored from the back (I admit I don't like the look of true oversized jackets from the back.) It is cut narrower in the back (as some people noticed, the back/shoulder measurement is actually quite small) and I think that helps keep it from being too boxy.&nbsp; I was worried that the lapels would be too big and overwhelming but I think they are actually a really good size!&nbsp; It doesn't really work too well closed on me, as I think the snap is in the wrong place on me (too low since I'm so short waisted); however, I usually wear my jackets open so I don't mind.&nbsp; I did try holding it closed higher up and that looked good, so I may consider putting a second snap in at the low bust level.&nbsp; Anyway, I am definitely keeping! </p> <p>Outfit details: H&amp;M shirt, Gap tank, Uniqlo shorts, Kenneth Cole belt, Born oxfords.</p> </p>
