I see edge, and proportions that are "just flattering enough".&nbsp;The curved hemline of the sweater is ideal as it softens the&nbsp;horizontally cutting line across the body, and your low contrast boots - that melt into your jeans - ground the look and create unity.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-under-a-cropped-sweater#post-1130564 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:28:46 +0000 April 1130564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Thistle -- I think the proportions are a little off. &nbsp;The purple sweater is maybe slightly too cropped for the striped layer. &nbsp;I can definitely see the purple sweater over a dress, though, or the striped layer with a slightly longer cropped sweater. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-under-a-cropped-sweater#post-1130461 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:46:10 +0000 Thistle 1130461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater.&nbsp; Not sure about the proportions of the sweater with the stripes.</p> <p>I think our cold front is heading your way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-under-a-cropped-sweater#post-1130457 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:42:35 +0000 catgirl 1130457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In agreement with kkards. This is a look I love but have yet to master despite years of trying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-under-a-cropped-sweater#post-1130444 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:23:58 +0000 Diana 1130444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, I agree about the cowl neck actually.&nbsp; I think I need to get a better striped tunic. I have kept this one because it's crazy versatile, but the truth is that it's a little too big in the body so the cowl sits a little too low and the looseness also distorts the stripes, which annoys me (it's not so visible here with something covering up the top half). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-under-a-cropped-sweater#post-1130441 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:21:44 +0000 kkards 1130441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the stripes with this, but i'm not crazy about the cowl neck with the neckline of the sweater. but that could just be me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-under-a-cropped-sweater#post-1130439 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:19:16 +0000 Diana 1130439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Rae and others, I'm trying short over long with stripes today.&nbsp; I think my stripes are a little too bold to be honest, but apparently the only stripes I have are bold black and white.&nbsp; <br />Today's weather is super weird (50F and raining right now but supposed to drop to 15F sometime in the evening.) Not sure how to dress for that!&nbsp; I have a big wool coat and scarf in preparation for the evening commute but I was definitely too warm on my commute this morning.&nbsp; </p> <p>handknit sweater, Dorothy Perkins tunic, Vince jeans, Dolce Vita boots. </p>
