I agree the cuff is fantastic. &nbsp;It makes me feel like Wonder Woman! &nbsp;(And yes I kind of wish I had bought two.) &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Mtgirl, yes I think this look would definitely work with a jean jacket to casualize it a bit. &nbsp;Next time I think I'll try one of my leather jackets too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knit-formula#post-1039393 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:15:58 +0000 rachylou 1039393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knit-formula#post-1039368 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:34:13 +0000 MsMary 1039368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe you can actually KNIT a gorgeous top like that!</p> <p>And the cuff just makes the outfit!&nbsp; You are super fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knit-formula#post-1039366 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:32:54 +0000 Anonymous 1039366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks awesome! I was wondering what the untucked version would look like as I don't have belt loops on my trousers. </p> <p>I can see possibly adding my jean jacket for my very casual life - do you think that would work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knit-formula#post-1039364 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:31:35 +0000 Anonymous 1039364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Diana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knit-formula#post-1039336 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:59:50 +0000 kellygirl 1039336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab, Diana.

Love that cuff. And the top looks really interesting. Wish I could better see the texture.
