WIW: Summer Flats & Tunic - YouLookFab Forum

I’m wearing my new Lucky “Arrow” flats for the first time - totally comfortable! They are not snug at the heel but the vamp is high so they really stay on my feet (they don’t slip off my heels/I have low volume feet). I like their summer-looking materials.

I’m attempting to bookend my sheer tunic with the flats - the colors are not exact, though, I’m seeing the ‘textures” going together – does it work? And, these jeggings are snug, do I need to wear a longer tunic? (this one goes past the crotch point only about 2”, I do not feel exposed). I’m wearing a navy v-neck tank top under since the tunic is very sheer.

Thank your for looking, all comments appreciated.

I think it works! And if you're comfy with the view from all angles, the length looks fine to me. I like the textural interest of the shoes.

Oh, I definitely like this outfit. The flats and tunic are great.

kkards

great shoes, the bookending of the shirt and the shoes is great! i think the length of the tunic is good.

What a great fit. I was just going to ask if the shoes give enough support because they are really really pretty. The tunic is great and I think that the jeggings really fit you well. Do they bag out over time?

Zibbets

Fabulous, all of it! Yes, the shirt and shoes are perfect together. YLF!

Gracie

Thank you for your feedback, ladies!

ladywone, the shoes are very comfortable, they have a padded sole, but since they are totally flat, I'm not sure I could walk in them for a long time (not used to walking in flats). No bagging on the jeggings

Astrid

I think you look great! Totally works. The shoes are awesome.

Works imo The shoes look comfy too which is a big plus.

Those shoes are great and look fantastic with the tunic! I just learned from you about trying a darker tank under a sheer top--I've always used white or cream--but the dark really works with the jeggings.

Debra

You look great, love the shoes

Ooh. I love the way the textures echo here. Beautiful with the sheer tunic. I think the length is just fine. You look wonderful.

Neel

A bit jealous that you can wear those flats so well .... D 'orsays never stay on my feet (low volume). You look lovely and the shoes are perfect with the top!

The shirt and shoes look great together! I don't think it matters that the colors aren't exact, especially since there are so many variations on light neutrals that having to buy everything in the exact same shade would be ridiculously limiting.

Sveta

The shoes totally work with the tunic, fun texture interplay.
As for the jeggings and the tunic length: it is hard to say from the picture how tight the jeggings are. for myself I do not feel comfortable in tight-ish ponte pants unless my behind is all covered - but you may have a different "bu" tolerance level .

Jeanie

It all looks great to me!

Hi Gracie, you do look great! The flats are wonderful and demonstrate what I discovered only recently--that colors don't have to match exactly to pick up on each other and to create a harmonious look. Brilliant about the dark tank. Angie talks about doing this but I've never had the nerve! Now maybe I'll try it!

A fun, easy and on trend outfit. No need to wear a longer tunic, and the textures play very well together.

Joy

Wow! The tunic and shoes were made for each other. I love the slight tension of a not perfect match. It all looks great just as it is.

first, i like the styling a lot, and the shoes are super. Then, what sveta said. I think of tunics as different from long tops , so covering the rear like a super - mini dress, and not riding up. So i always check the rear view and not just a hip check. But it sounds like this is a in the eye of the beholder and your own comfort zone.

Tunic length is fab and the bookending works a treat. You have great hair btw

LOVE this outfit! I've spent the last few hours in a wardrobe-soul-searching haze looking for inspiration photos, and this one stands out to me! Casual but with style. I'd pin it if I could! You are SO rocking those skinny jeans too.

ETA: I love the d'orsay flats! I've had a recent obsession with finding a pair, and have come to Franco Sarto Hawks. I think I need to return for a larger size, but I can't wait to start wearing them. I'm not a "shoe person" (sneakers or flip flops usually...) but I am really attracted to them for their easy-breezy style. I will just have to learn to pick up my feet a little more when I walk, I think! I love the ones you're wearing too. Are they comfy?

Marley

Gorgeous outfit! The footwear and tunic are perfect together. Absolutely love them! My personal preference is to combine them with a slouchy skinny, rather than a jegging - but this does look nice on you!

Lyn D.

Great! I like this style of tunic- not too long- and the shoes are Fab.

Thank you for supporting the look and your wise comments and suggestions, they will all be put into action next time I wear this top or jeggins.

Ameelizabeth – yes, the d'Orsay flats I'm wearing are very comfortable. They hold the front of my foot snugly. I haven't walks long distances with they yet, though. I also tried the Franco Sarto Hawks, tired them on, like them and was going to purchase them until I saw the Dolce Vita Alphas (link below)... their style won me over as they have those breeze openings - very comfortable too!

Wow--gorgeous outfit! I think the tunic length is fine. Don't change a thing.
