They are covered with toppers at least half of the day. &nbsp;I like patterns for summer to replace some of the accessories I usually wear. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363990 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 16:20:21 +0000 RobinF 2363990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>I am with the consensus! Love your outfits and yes to summer patterns! I do wear them in winter too but more as a way to tie two solids together than as their own statement.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363989 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 15:24:41 +0000 Dee 2363989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>April</b> and <b>Star,</b> looks like plenty of us do wear a lot &nbsp;more patterns in summer compared to winter.<br /><b>Aquamarine</b>- Very true about how pattern can help camouflage any &nbsp; perspiration issues due to hot temps of summer.<br /><b>ChristelJ</b>- Seems summer is just more conducive for wearing head to toe patterns in a variety of ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363986 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 14:57:19 +0000 ChristelJ 2363986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such pretty tops!<br /> I wear patterns most of the time year round, but in summer I wear patterned wide leg pants and also maxi dresses with head to toe pattern that give a more maximal effect. So, larger swaths of pattern in summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363981 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 11:45:56 +0000 Star (Lise) 2363981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love your tops.&nbsp; Yes I don't wear pattern in winter and I do in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363979 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 11:20:47 +0000 Aquamarine 2363979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely wear patterned tops, except in warmer weather when I do like a few in my closet, for the same reasons everyone else does. I also find that patterned tops hide sweat a bit more. Gross, but it happens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363977 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 11:12:59 +0000 April 2363977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee, I have few patterns at all but they do seem to be mainly be summery items! Had not noticed this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363975 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 11:07:35 +0000 Dee 2363975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jaime</b>- yes that third piece does have a profound effect on the amount of &nbsp;colour/patterns and proportions of an outfit.<br /><b>Runcarla</b>- you’re right, the texture of solid colour pieces; be they knits etc.. does come into play much more in the cooler months.<br /><b>Brooklyn</b>- I rarely wear my patterns on the bottom, I have 1 pattern skirt although I do have a few patterned dresses. I just feel I need the visual interest focused closer to my face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363973 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 10:43:26 +0000 Brooklyn 2363973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely Dee. I like no 1 in particular. </p> <p>I definitely wear more pattern in Summer because it’s a way of adding interest/individuality when you can’t layer. I tend to wear it more on bottom than on top, but it’s all good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363962 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 03:52:24 +0000 Carla 2363962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What&nbsp;<b>Suz&nbsp;</b>wrote. &nbsp;I’ve been pondering patterns as well, and actually played with my Finds and created a capsule of all my patterned items.</p> <p>I had an epiphany when a vlogger I follow was discussing summer dressing, and said she leans more into&nbsp;<b></b>colour and pattern in the summer, and layers and texture in cooler weather.<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363951 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 00:41:48 +0000 Jaime 2363951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits - love the balloon jeans on you. I think Suz has an excellent point about pattern being a way to add interest in the heat. I wear patterns on top all year round, but they are cut by the third piece in cooler weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363948 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 23:38:16 +0000 Dee 2363948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b> - I think you’re right, that lack of layering in summer does make me feel the need for something a little extra on top. The blue/white Winner’s top was bought about a month ago.<br /><b>Slim</b> <b>Cat</b>- I too struggle to wear any of my plainer tops in summer especially.<br /><b>Cat2</b> - I hadn’t noticed this difference until I was organizing my closet by colours and saw how many patterned tops dominated my summer wardrobe.<br /><b>kkards</b> - yep stripes and ginghams do count, so welcome to the club.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363942 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 22:33:05 +0000 kkards 2363942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 1st one has a batik feel, which IMO is just so summery. &nbsp;And you can’t got wrong with pink floral&nbsp;</p> <p>are stripes and gingham patterns? &nbsp;Then yup, I do wear more patterns in the summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363941 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 21:48:44 +0000 cat2 2363941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun picks. I love my summer prints as well. It hadn’t occurred to me but I only have a few winter prints; maybe I should keep an eye out for wool challis? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363938 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:40:12 +0000 slim cat 2363938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute tops - love pic #1 ! Very breezy and pretty - all the looks!<br />I'm a pattern wearer - all tops are printed in my wardrobe ( exclusions are rare and not worn much ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363937 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:40:05 +0000 Suz 2363937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these! I agree with you about patterned tops in summer. I think because we tend to layer less, we crave more interest in one piece on the top.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the print of the top from Winner's in #1. Is that a new purchase?&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the balloon jeans, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws---patterned-tops#post-2363935 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:37:09 +0000 Dee 2363935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems there's something about summer that has me happily wearing a larger variety of patterns compared to my usual stripes or solids during the rest of the year. &nbsp;Maybe its all the sunshine, warm temps and flora around or just the prevalence of so many patterned options offered at this time of year.</p> <p>Here are a few of the patterned tops that have been in my rotation recently:</p> <p>1) Blue/white palm leaf linen top from Winner's with denim wide crops.</p> <p>2) My older pink floral top seen in my last post now combined with white cuffed crops (As per <b>Angie's</b> suggestion)</p> <p>3) Black/white geometric flutter sleeve top with my balloon jeans and black slides for a cooler/cloudy day.</p> <p><i><b>How about you? Does summer have you wearing more patterns?<br /> </b></i></p>
