WIWx2: Sporty and Drapey :-) - YouLookFab Forum

#1 - Worn for a lentel prayer meet over the weekend. I don't usually wear all black because of my skin tone and jet black hair. Especially with no skin show! I dont mind wearing an LBD because it shows some skin for structure. Hopefully this doesn't look overly dark, although it did suit the occasion I have tried to add some lightness to the outfit with white soled slip on sneaks and my striped bucket bag. Also, I am wearing ponte skinnies with a studded vneck hi low tunic top (H&M/last summer)

#2 - Worn for morning school run. Just changed the pants ... I like this version better Also threw on the burgundy crossbody mini bag for phone and cards.

So what do you think? Which version do you like better on me? Thanks for looking as always and all suggestions are welcome x

I love your interpretation of the ensemble, Neel. Very flattering and not too dark at all - and anyway you've got clever light touches, at the neckline, on your footwear, and in the stripes of your bag. The second outfit is fun - great trousers and cute red bag I can't pick a favourite - both are fab.

i love the plaid pants, and the pop of red/burgundy with the bag is great. i do like the way you've picked up small bits of white in the all black outfit.

rute

I like the black version, sporty chic

Mona

Yes, I like plaid pants with burgundy cross body much better. Those sneaks are work horses.

Deb

I'm on the dark side with Rute. I love the almost all black, low contrast on you....it makes a very nice change.

I like both versions! The black works, especially with the detail at the neckline to lighten it up. You look great!

Neel

Thank you for your comments and observations ladies I am glad the all black works because of the pops of whites.

Mona - Yes, these shoes are total workhorses! I could wear them with everything in my closet

I also think they both work - the second one is more fun though!

You nailed it again, wonderful and fun, Neel. LOVE that you are back to posting your amazing style.

Tanya

Love both looks, one is more moody, the other one more fun, but both perfectly you.

Fantastic x2! The plaid pants outfit is so fun...I think it's my favorite!

I'm on the fence too as I like both outfits. The black one definitely works with the white neck detail and bag adding some lightness. The plaid pants are playful in the second look. Cute bag as well.

Am voting the all black and white ensemble. Goes anywhere, does anything!

Thank you for your observations and comments! I didn't think the all black would be liked by so many of you The detail on the neckline definitely works in my favor.

I think the plaid pants version is a fun outfit! I likey!

Quietgirl

The black is very fashionable. You wear it well.

IMHO, I prefer you in color because you do it with such Panache! I think it takes real skill to manage color the way you do and really shows off your fashion sense in a way that all black does not.

Regardless of what you wear, you always look FAB!

Well I love #2 because I am crazy about those fab plaid pants! #1 works beautifully for the occasion, and is brightened by the detail/color at the collar and by the addition of white throughout.
