Sporting Sporty - YouLookFab Forum

I’m so glad a light summer workload is giving me more time to participate and post outfits for feedback.

This is my version of sporty – one item – the knit bomber. I have been aiming to vary my silhouettes, therefor the high-low fluid top. I like the look better with the bomber closed (wearing in office A/C). Later, I will wear just the top and shorts to run errands. I tried both a matching-color and black tank top under the blouse and was surprised that, to my eye, the black one was 100% better. The side view on 1 shows the tank. The warm white tank looked too underwear-ish

I won’t wear sneakers to work (on principle, lol), so, wide-strap sandals it is. Oh, and I Love these shorts – they fit my tomboy persona very well. Also enjoy my braided belts as they grow and shrink with their position on hips/waist – so versatile!

Thank your for looking, all comments appreciated.

Bomber: Express outlet
Top: Zara (last fall)
Shorts: YMI
Sandals: Nine West “Carie” (last summer)

Great outfit! It works really well with and without the bomber. I like the hemline of your top.

I love everything about this outfit, Gracie. The black tank looks intentional. I like it best with the bomber but the top has an interesting hemline.

This outfit is fantastic on you. It goes beautifully with your hair and coloring, and all the pieces cohere into a uniquely flattering look. It is a little tomboy, a little edgy, a little modern classic. The bomber is just the perfect topper, and I bet it goes with a lot of things.

Ooooh I adore those shorts! I totally want a pair. Great look, I think it's equally good with the bomber (I prefer it zipped up) and without it entirely. The shorts are somewhat sporty, they look like slim skater shorts to me I also like wearing a black tank underneath in this type of outfit, because the lower layer then looks nice and long even though the light top is technically adding a vertical element. It does seem to minimize that in a way.

Fun shorts and great look! I like it with the bomber, but like it even more with just the fluid top contrasting with the fitted shorts.

Astrid

Great look! Both with and without the bomber jacket.

Wow, this is fabulous. I love every detail about it! From the cool asymmetrical strapped sandals to the amazing shorts, to the top's asymmetrical hem, to the bomber -- it's perfect!

Windchime

I love those shorts! Actually, I love the whole outfit! As Firecracker pointed out, it goes beautifully with your hair. To my eye, you've made two terrific outfits--one with and one without the bomber jacket.

Fabulous. I LOVE those shorts.

Terrific outfit!

Great outfit! I like it best with the bomber open - but, that's just me! I think that the black tank is working because it really helps prevent the "grinning" effect. I'm curious - did you try semi-tucking the top (banded bottom) into your shorts? I'd like to see it that way. Also - your shoes are so cool - and wow! Look at your legs!
