K/R a column of lime green

Hi!
Yesterday I arrived at yoga to find out it was closed due to a power outage. So instead, I browsed at Marshall... Didn't find anything until the last moment, this lime green outfit. I got the tank and the tee, and was all excited about it, but today I really wonder. I haven't removed the tags yet.

So what do you think? Shoud I keep or should I return?

Y= Yay, keep
N= Nay, return

Pic 3: same, but un-tucked

Love the way you're wearing it in #3 - breezy, sophisticated and trendy! I'm not keen on the tank tucked as the waistband of the pants is quite a large elastic.

You have such buff arms that you must at least keep the tank! Great color!

I LOVE #3.

A little long, but slouchy is in so rock on, Krish

The tuck isn't working for me either. The elasticated waistband makes it look like gear. #3 is the best.

#3 is terrific!! It looks perfect for those sticky hot humid days when you can barely breathe. Wonderful.

I'm not crazy about it the other ways as much, especially with the tucked top. But I think it might be possible to tuck if you wanted, with a wide white belt or a sash of some kind.

Thank you for your comments!

But if I keep the pants, how else to style them? I'm still ambivalent.

#3 works best IMO. I am not sure how I feel about tucking into the elastic waist band.

Love #3 especially, but the tee works as well for me.

You could also wear the pants with white or grey tops. A blouson, poncho-style or dolman sleeves could be fun, maybe a sheer tunic with a smart cropped menswear-style vest? Or an oversized print shirt in bright contrasting colours (red-orange-pink spectrum), tucked and belted? Or let the pants be the star with simple B&W prints in streamlined shapes (shell, tank top etc)...

Another vote for #3! #1 is too much slouch, in my opinion, but #1 lets your pretty arms show and that balances it out.

I really like #3 too. I think the tee needs to be worn with a contrasting colour and a more fitted lower half. I can see it with fitted blue or white denim and maybe a fun green shoe to make it pop!

Thank you all for these great solutions! They answer my question exactly. I see how it needs to be balanced.

However this morning I'm still not convinced about the pants! I just can't think of anywhere I would wear them... other than lounging at home, which may be the original purpose. However, even if bought at (supposedly cheaper) Marshall's, it still comes out as an expensive lounge. Especially if I won't be wearing it anywhere else. So me thinks me might return the pants and tee.

But tank, certainly me keep! After all the nice boosting comments I received here about my arms. I didn't know they could attract attention like this. True I've been doing mostly aquafit as a workout lately, mainly for how it makes me feel afterwards. But I think another benefit is a toned upper body. Anyway thank you! I have other items this tank could work with un-tucked, for example a pair of bell-bottom cream colour casual pants, a maxi skirt in a soft lime green...

I like the way the top works in #3. I'm not so sure about the lime green top with the pants, but I'm not a big fan of monochromatic.

I have a poison eye for banded hems on pants, so I'm not wild about that part. I like the color, although I'm not sure about it head-to-toe. I do love the sleeveless top though.

Have you tried a belted white button down shirt?
