These will be going into the donation bag. I like the color and may look for a more modern pant in a similar color. Right now I seem to gravitate to tone on tone outfits but may need to move on to more contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1582167 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:04:06 +0000 Angie 1582167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the concept, Joy. But I don't find the trousers all that current. A little tight on the waist, and too short. I vote pass on. Topper is great though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581945 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 01:15:27 +0000 unfrumped 1581945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, for me I'd keep and try to update the supporting act--pointier boots, trendy sweater, maybe--because I wear trousers almost every day. and sometimes a different color opens up a different look for the same silhouette.<br />But, you have lots of more interesting items so yes, maybe these are ones you can part with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581938 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:53:43 +0000 Sal 1581938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Joy<br />I think the trousers are okay, but I have seen you in pants/jeans/trousers that I like much better. &nbsp;I vote pass them on.<br />Thanks,<br />Sally</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581837 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:51:19 +0000 Anonymous 1581837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Deborah.&nbsp; We are planning to downsize and move this year.&nbsp; Those pants will probably not make it to a new closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581399 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 10:06:57 +0000 Deborah 1581399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the tonal look here Joy. &nbsp;No need for colour from my perspective:) &nbsp; &nbsp;I do think the pants look a little dated, they are not quite the sharp flared silhouette that appears to be out now BUT that doesn't mean they don't look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581252 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 19:15:43 +0000 Anonymous 1581252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your wisdom and wealth of ideas.&nbsp; I like how these pants fit in the rear (don't droop) but wondered if they needed to be more fitted in the thigh to look modern.&nbsp; the shoes I'm wearing in all 3 photos are ankle boots with about a 1.5 inch heel.&nbsp; For real flats I would have to have the hems shortened a bit or tighten a belt to keep them pulled up.&nbsp; It sounds like that may be worth the effort.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581168 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 13:11:06 +0000 Karie 1581168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you've had some great suggestions already. The slacks in #3 look shorter than the ones in #1 and #2 - are you wearing different shoes? I think I'd hem the length in #1 and #2 up a tad - 1/2 to 1 inch - as I think they'd look better with less length length at the break.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with the others on the color. I think what you're wearing looks good, but to take it up a notch I'd switch the top to one of a different color. You do wear volume on volume extremely well (I wish I could do that but it overwhelms me).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581151 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 12:25:25 +0000 krishnidoux 1581151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Bijou on the color.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would switch footwear too. Somehow these heels don't quite go with the pant's style. In the first pics the pants look like they are too long.&nbsp;</p> <p>These pants might be challenging to style. I would embrace their very masculine cut and pair them with </p> <p>1) A very structured, long jacket + a tucked ruffle /jabot blouse + pointy-toed boots/shoes.</p> <p>2) A structured denim jacket + colorful scarf + simple knit top, untucked but not too long.</p> <p>3) A brooks brother type white button down loosely tucked + an upscale belt with detail, such as crocco or metal + a more fitted suit-type jacket + square-toed booties/shoes/boots.</p> <p>4) A utility shirt, possibly in denim or khaki, with sleeves rolled up, bling on the neck (such as a statement golden chain) and delicate shoes.</p> <p>I would consider having the hem taken in just a tad.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581134 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 09:50:55 +0000 Bijou 1581134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whenever I am not sure of what to put with an item, I often look at Net-a-Porter for ideas. &nbsp;I searched pants and then in the colour section put in neutral and also brown pants and looked at the styling they made for similar pants to yours. &nbsp;The look that I loved, was the styling of a winter white top and coat with the pants. &nbsp;But they had many options (soft black blouses, burgundy knit...). &nbsp;I like your styling, but to my eye, it is a bit too much of the one colour, I would prefer a pop of colour to be added for some drama. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-volume-on-volume-with-flares#post-1581107 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 05:31:39 +0000 Anonymous 1581107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking through my cold weather clothes I found flared or bootcut trousers, probably thrifted. Does this work? Trousers are BR and a light weight wool.<br /> I welcome your wisdom and thoughts on the trousers and this outfit. If the trousers look ok, I'd welcome suggestions for styling them. </p>
