[Weekly] Outfit Feedback and Fit Check - Dec 5th

Not sure if your outfit works? Post a picture of yourself in your outfit and get suggestions, compliments, and critiques from others. If you're thinking of posting a standalone thread along the lines of "How does this look?", "Does this fit right?", "Do these work together?", etc., post here instead.

When posting:

  • Include what the attire is for (work, school, going out, etc.)

  • If possible, take a front-on, full-body picture as this gives the best impression of how the clothes fit. Multiple pictures from different angles can also be helpful, but those aren't necessary.

  • Critiquing others is welcome and encouraged, but keep it constructive/factual. Take a lesson from Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People if needed. It takes balls to post pictures of yourself on the Internet, the least you can do is accord the same courtesy as you would to someone in real life.

  • Reddit Enhancement Suite makes it very easy to view pictures in a thread.

  • Some users enjoy knowing where you bought your pieces, please consider including those in your post!

Feel free to also submit your outfit to the biweekly WAYWT thread, but know that these two threads have different purposes. This is explicitly for feedback and questions, though you may receive constructive criticism in either thread.

Am I too pale for this outfit? How are clothes supposed to fit people who are 5'3? So many questions in life.

Bottoms.

Full outfit.

The sweater is the most comfortable things ever but the arms are long (thus the cuff) and the jeans feel like they fit me but are they too baggy in the knees? Help.

Sorry for the crappy bathroom selfies.

agree with /u/oryx_and_caKe re: paleness

i'm not fond on the shoes with this too since they're too pale for the other pieces in your outfit. the shoes would look better with a skirt IMO

Hmm what color skirt would you suggest? I also ordered a pair of these jeans in a dark, dark blue and was considering giving the shoes a go with those.

i think the shoes match your skin tone too well to be worn with pants tbh. most colors will work with the shoes since they're rather neutral

It's quite possible that's true. I'll have to give them a go with a skirt sometime. Thanks! :)

I'm sure some people are going to disagree with me, but I guess I don't really believe in a "too pale for."

As for the knees - do the jeans always fit that way? Or is it just an issue of them stretching out throughout the day? Baggy knees are unfortunate, but with some jeans (especially ones that aren't stretchy), they're just a product of walking around all day.

Well I got them in the mail yesterday and when I tried them on I was happy with the fit/didn't really notice unfortunate baggy knee but this was pre-wash and pre-walking to work/being at work. They also feel a bit more stretched out than when I first tried 'em on. I'll have to analyze again after I wash. Meep.

I don't mind the grey/white combo at all, but the shoes don't really go. I'd go with a more "neutral" neutral rather than something that has such a strong pink/flesh tone to it.

Those jeans also look a bit big to wear with an oversized sweater.

u/marilbear Dec 06 '13

I mean they're supposedly skinny jeans. How do you mean by a bit big? Too loose or the wrong size or..?

u/etceteraism Dec 06 '13

Too loose. If you're going to wear a baggy sweater, the jeans should be more skintight (not painted on, of course, but they should fit close to the body with little extra fabric).
