What can I wear it with? (December 2003 - March 2010)

[Ina]

I would wear a black top and black shoes.

One really needs some fited clothes to wear this
some skinny jeans /or leather leggings/ with a long T-shirt
and platform shoes and big bag to balance it.
I would wear it with a belt if it is long enough.
NAP and Mytheresa

 

[daniellat]

yeah i would too

carriefever,
I always have problems on what to wear with red - as muxh as I love it I always avoided for that reason - hate how it looks with black shoes and bag too much - hate how it looks with white... I love it with animal print -but not for this suit.
so I think nude is the best for shoes and a red clutch - from NAP

I think the Chloe jacket would be good with a black highwaisted skirt that fits closely through the hips ... pencil or possibly godet.

I'm going to a birthday (not so formal) and i'm trying to avoid the boring black and white suit look so i'm basing my suit around this tie ?

I tried to find a matching handkerchief but that proved hard so yes any idea how to wear this with a suit for something thats a little different.

I love suits and ties and the whole shebang, but if it's not such a formal party, I don't think a tie is necessary. In my experience, most guys will avoid ties like the plague. True-life overheard words: "Do I really have to wear a tie at my own wedding?"

I suggest doing a search for Neofinitia's posts on the "What are you wearing" thread; he oftens makes a suit and tie look casual through offbeat color coordination and accessories. My favorite touch is a frog brooch he once wore on the neck of his tie.

Love man in a suit
one of the 2 shirts and some estravagant shoes
all from LVR.com

if you can, i would totally rock a white suit (good quality). there's not a lot of white suits and i've seen a few men that look REALLY good with white suits. you gotta know how to wear it though...

and if you wanna be really different wear it with these plaid shoes (kinda match the tie)

I just bought this 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt:

I'm on the taller side so it's a few inches above the knees. Other than my beloved oversized grey tshirt combo, how else can I wear this skirt to dress it down - anything to make it to look less corporate?

 

[GasolineRainbow]

^So jealous of your new purchase! Are the ruffles in the front or back? The following image came to mind; it's not casual, but it's also not corporate. From the brilliant Agathe's now defunct blog www.stylebytes.net



^The embellished skirt is paired down with a simple top and opaque tights (always good for a casual effect) and an elongating necklace. I prefer pencil skirts with heels, but since you are tall and it hits above the knees, you can totally pull off flats/sandals for a more casual look. A similar feel to the oversize gray tshirt is a loose white tanktop, tucked in. And I've always loved pairing fancy black skirts/dresses with denim jackets. Many people on TFS loathe this, but I think it's such a cute look.

 

[Cicciolina]

Thank you! The ruffles are actually at the front, but now I'm curious to see how it'll look like when worn back to front I actually always find it so hard to find nice loose white tanks! My usual denim jacket is back home (I'm travelling right now), I love wearing it too with dressier pieces so will definitely try that combination out. Thanks And good pic choice too.

 

[GasolineRainbow]

Your welcome. I know what you mean about loose white tanks; it's a shame, as it's a really nice item to have around. I especially can't stand it when the armholes are so gaping, the entire bra is visible.

Rumi of fashiontoast.com suggested stretching out a men's Hanes white undershirt. I tried that, and I must say the stretched out fabric photographs much better than it looks in real life. Do let me know if you ever locate a good one.

Love the skirt!!!!!!!! I would wear it with some knited jacket /can you say it is cold here/ with some flats or my fav chanel /ebay/ or fine OTK boots - all from NAP and
the best is if you can get one of these Lanvin Tshirts /LVR.com

 

[BerlinRocks]

I've bought this shirt ....
on a crush .............
on sale .....


agnesb

but now that i'm back home, i don't know what to wear with it ........
i think it needn't at all something too bright or i'll look total out-of-context or promnight or NYE 2010
ouch ....

but i don't want to wear it too "boring" because it would take off the magic of it ...... don't you think ?

what could I wear ? i thought a pullover would be nice but what colour ? and what collar ? and if i want to wear it with nothing covering it ? a blazer would be nice ? i don't know ....

or tell me if i've done the wrong choice with this item .....

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I would think just the shirt, white jeans, and loafers ... I like it

 

[dumbfairy]

This is more of a what shoes and jacket to wear it with. I've never worn this before (I have had it over a year and it still has the tags in,shameful really. But 2009 is the year where I wear the clothes I already have )It stops just at my ankles without shoes so any heels I do wear will be slightly visible and I don't know what style to go for? And a good cover up?

(sorry it's a poor photo)

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ So I'd pick up the color of the sequins in the shoes--is that pewter? And perhaps a pashmina--black or silver grey? Perhaps with a metallic sheen ...

 

[aris]

what about black - platform pumps, clutch - from NAP and black mink cape /only 99$ from e-bay/

 

[Cathsen]

Maybe a short, a-line 60s-style jacket?

I would wear that long dress with a leather jacket, as a more "casual" outfit. And some chunky metallic bangles.
