I don't really enjoy layering, for example; it feels too constricting. After my "year of the pants" in 2019, I did discover that even with high waists, the forgiveness of pleats, roomy thighs, and drapey fabrics were my friends--both for fit range and for comfort. I can wear such trousers as comfortably as stretchy joggers. But I do have to watch too much volume on the bottom. The tapered ankle is key.</p> <p><b>Joy and Gillian</b>: I do love bright color; I am in good stead with Angie and other YLFabbers in that regard. But Joy, I really love your description of ombre tonal dressing! I knew the focus was on top with the tomato red sweater, but I wasn't sure if the bottom was actually darker or just quieter. In any case, I prefer my bottom half to disappear, so I'll think "ombre" more often!</p> <p>Thanks for looking, everyone!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tonal-dressing-and-other-trends#post-2177370 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 20:36:52 +0000 Anonymous 2177370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All red is such a power look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tonal-dressing-and-other-trends#post-2177333 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 18:52:17 +0000 Angie 2177333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tonal-dressing-and-other-trends#post-2177195 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 09:10:22 +0000 N 2177195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow amazing!
