A little WTW help svp, I'm a little unsure

I am posting three looks for your consideration.

The event is an arena rock concert in a couple of weeks time, the temps are rapidly dropping and there is likely to be lots of hanging around so comfort and warmth are key but this is also my first date night with DH for nearly three months so I hope to look edgily pulled together in a this old thing kind of way.

All three outfits feature the Creative Denim soft faux trousers which are the colour of espresso and my new Vagabond Lorac ankle boots.
#1 - grey leopard sweatshirt
#2 - faded navy Whistles tunic tee
#3 - BDG (I think) oversized denim jacket

Which of the three looks do you prefer? Are they all a little too try hard? Does one look read as romantic rock 'n' roll more than the others? Should I scrap the lot and start again?

I really would appreciate your opinions, the good, the bad and the meh and thank you in advance for your time.

p.s in pic #4 I pulled down my hair and shook my head as I do have a pea head and I felt a little volume may help with the proportions, ha.

I love the oversized denim jacket. That looks rock and roll to me--a little romantic with the hair down too. None of these look like you are trying too hard--they all look fab.

This a no contest to me: I think you look amazing in #2. That color is gorgeous on you. You'll need a jacket/coat to stay warm but it might be nice to have the option of a cooler top while in the actual concert.

ETA - I'd wear your hair down. I like the jacket second best.

Love the lines of first one -- reminds me of the MOTG dark classy coordinates capsule post. But is it warm enough?

The top in the second is a really nice color with your eyes and skin. I don't "get" that look overall, with the cuffed pants, but I'm not up to speed on current fashion. How would this look with the denim jacket for warmth?

The cuffed pants were not intentional, I do not like the broken leg line with such a slim fitting trouser either Amy. I think I cuffed the hems when putting on the boots and forgot to readjust.

Well that's a vote for each look

I am loving #2. The color is simply gorgeous with your skin and hair and the detail at the shoulders adds that bit of edge that you want. I also think the proportions are extremely flattering.

I like the other outfits as well but this is my favorite by quite a bit because it looks so fab on you.

I like #2 and #3-- both are cool!

LACeleste

I'm a fan of #2. It's great!

I like #2 best, but worry that you'll be too cold. xo

I would need a topper perhaps a coat Angie.

#2 is in the lead.

I love outfit #2...and hair #4!

deb

#4 is my fav.

cciele

I pick 2 too! The length of the top works well over the pants. And hair down How does the denim jacket look open over the blue top?

Day Vies

#4 is my favorite because your hair is down -- volume looks fabulous on you. I think you should go for higher contrast color to your skin like in #1 or 2. #1 I think you'll be hot, because it's a sweater. #2 I think you'll be cold but, can you wear a long-sleeve fitted tee (black) underneath? I think it will maintain the silhouette but keep you warm too.

I like 2 best but I fear you will be cold!

#2 with a topper and hair down - you look amazing in these pants. Romantic rock-n-roll is you all over. I loved your "this old thing" comment.

Transcona Shannon

#2 with the jacket from 3/4 and hair down. Gorgeous!

Suz

Julie, you are beautiful every possible way. Love the new pants and booties.

My favourite here is #2, but all of them work great. Can you show us your topper options for #2? I am sure you would need one.

Gigi

I too love #2--it shows off your lovely silhouette better than #1. Maybe put on the jacket, unbuttoned, over #2 for warmth? If temps are dropping but you're also going to be in a concert with lots of people, it seems that you will need to layer to stay comfortable.

Beth Ann

#2, with hair down!

Lantana

I think #2 in blue has the right touch of nonchalant.

Lyn D.

#2 too!

JayS

Romantic rock 'n roll with a bit of edge? #2 all the way. I really like the soft drape of the top with the harder edge of the trousers. Edgy with a bit of sophistication. A topper is a must but these events can get hot and having the option to remove it might be more comfortable overall. Have a wonderful time!

Jaime

I see everyone loves #2 but I also really like #1! You look beautiful every which way though.

Ooo, it looks like we have a consensus, when the Little Miss' are in bed I shall play around with toppers which will be an absolute essential.

Hmm, jumper, jacket or coat...I'll be back.
