The hoodie with the FLARED pants and sneakers... big yes. Not sure about the belt if black. May drop your waist too low visually and may outshine the sneakers.

Would brown be better for the belt, and I have a long torso if that’s any help to visualize.

jess, i'm not sure that this sweatshirt will work tucked into these pants. not sure how the kangaroo pocket will impact the tucking, especially because these pants are a mid rise. i think this is one of those outfits that needs to be tried IRL.

Agree about the hoodie being too bulky to tuck. Definitely worth trying, though!

I like the light neutrals together and the contrasting belt and shoes, but feel that you need to try it on. The hoody looks perfect for California, in fact, the whole outfit does.

Oh, with a long torso and the pants being midrise... yes, I think everyone is right about needing to try it on. I do feel a sweatshirt with a welted hem would be tuckable tho. And I’m thinking a brown belt, if not lighter.

And now I’m thinking, ‘what about a semi tuck?’ Maybe the hoodie is too heavy for a full tuck...

For the hoodie I was only going to front tuck if that’s possible. Some hoodies have extra material on the bottom you can tuck but the pouch area is still loose and untucked but allows the waistline to be shown so your right semi tuck is good too.

I’ll have to try this in person.

I agree with the others that the outfit looks great in theory, but it will all come down to how it works on YOUR body. Everyone has different torso and rise lengths, and proportions can really make or break an outfit.

This is one reason why capsule wardrobes sound great in theory but can be difficult to put together when it comes down to it. One top might work proportionally well with one type of bottom but not with another, or one top might tuck better in a midrise than in a high rise. The only answer is to get your hands dirty and try stuff on!
