But I like the idea of belting over the tunic, which would highlight the waist under the jacket and bring the tunic up a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819698 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 03:27:40 +0000 Amy 819698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the untucked a lot better. I am digging the tunic length of that top with the jacket and the slim trousers. Great pattern mixing too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819567 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 01:35:48 +0000 catgirl 819567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like untucked. Could these pants do a belt? That sometimes helps "lower" the half-tuck a bit, by creating a horizontal visual. Also it's what keeps my half-tucks in place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819499 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:35:24 +0000 Diana 819499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. I'm glad my instinct was right that the semi-tuck does not work here! </p> <p>Ceit, I'll definitely be trying these pants with my Doc Clemencys! </p> <p>Nancylee too, I have to admit that I do not like to full tuck into pants unless they are very loose or I am wearing a long jacket over. I'm too self-conscious about muffin top! I might try a fitted shell tucked in with a belt and a blazer over it all though (to hide the muffin top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819457 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:35:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 819457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Untucked - and fantastic tonal pattern mixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819446 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:27:43 +0000 Nicole D 819446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pattern mixing - advanced level! Looks great untucked, I think the top is a bit too fitted to tuck. It would be interesting to see it tucked woth a belt... I love your booties. Very nice look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819439 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:17:40 +0000 NancyLee too 819439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be curious to see it completely tucked in, with a wide black belt (as wide as the waistband anyway) to highlight your narrowest point, your waist. Do the trousers have belt loops? Or try a narrower belt if it will sit at the mid-point of the waistband. Might give you a long leg line, if you can do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819251 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:35:08 +0000 Tina.b 819251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the untucked version is best. Love the combo of the black and white in the various patterns. Very harmonious and interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819245 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:19:25 +0000 Emily 819245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think untucked is the way to go. It's a bit long, but not by much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819240 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:14:34 +0000 Anonymous 819240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Untucked for me too. I think the rise is too high on these pants and the top is too long for it to work. Love the untucked version:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819199 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 18:13:01 +0000 Sarah A 819199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think untucked was a good move, this is a fun look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819191 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 18:02:27 +0000 Anonymous 819191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the waist is a bit high, but I would also try it semi-tucked with the sides kind of rolled under. That can salvage a semi-tuck on a longer tunic (I have a striped tunic like that, and that is what I do when semi-tucking it).</p> <p>I love the pattern mixing. I would like to see this with your Clemency Docs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819133 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:46:08 +0000 texstyle 819133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the untucked. I think the waist is a bit high to tuck this particular top. I like the outfit and pattern mixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-checks-and-dots-semi-tucked-or-untucked#post-819127 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:41:56 +0000 Diana 819127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pattern mixing today with striped tunic, microcheck pants, and polka dot trimmed blazer. I kept everything B&amp;W (with red shoes of course) to keep it from being too hectic. </p> <p>So I originally wanted to wear this with the tunic semi-tucked (photos 3&amp;4). I loved the curved hem that it made in the back (photo 4) but thought it looked rather unbalanced and contrived from the front (photo 3). I am wearing it untucked at the moment as in photo 1 - I think the tunic is slightly too long but I can live with that. So what do you guys think? Was I right in ditching the semi-tuck? And is there some way I can fix it? Would a faux semi-tuck a la Angie be better? Or is the waist just too high on these pants for tucking? </p> <p>Dorothy Perkins tunic, BR pants, Aqua jacket, Portlandia booties. </p>
