I’m trying to find my sense of style. I really love this outfit but I’m after some opinions on it that aren’t my mum telling me I look lovely no matter what!

Excuse the screenshot - it’s the only way I could get it uploaded!

the top is nice but the trousers are a bit baggy?

dont you want something a bit more fitted

Fiendishandfiery · 16/07/2026 11:27

It’s fine, looks light and airy, normally with wide leg trousers a more fitted shorter top works better, and the socks obvs don’t work with it,

Monstershark · 16/07/2026 11:27

It looks lovely. Your mum is right .

They’re lovely, nice wide legged linen. So cool!

Yeah I’d worn trainers as I was out and about that morning 🤣

What shoes are you planning on wearing?

Glitterbiscuits · 16/07/2026 11:29

I like it but I’d wonder how see through the trousers are, especially from behind.

Airyfaerie · 16/07/2026 11:33

You do look nice! Normally it's recommended to wear a fitted top and loose trousers, or loose top and fitted trousers, rather than both loose. But this combo works for you!

Yeah this is a good point

DierdreDaphne · 16/07/2026 11:34

I think it would look a bit floppy and loose in September but 100% appropriate top and bottom in this weather. Attractive and comfortable but not at all revealing = perfect in my book (if I saw someone in a tailored outfit today I would assume they were possibly a bit silly)

DeathBanana · 16/07/2026 11:35

You look lovely (I’m not your mum)

sallyluyah · 16/07/2026 11:36

It looks ok I think. Personally I don't like anything (dresses, tops etc) with asymmetrical hems but that's just me.

I wore it with chunky new balance trainers on Tuesday, but also thinking my Birkenstocks would work

I’ve never worn it before now and I think I love them 🤣

Not see through I don’t think, my mum would’ve told me if she could see my pants!

It looks really lovely, very cool and fresh looking for summer. Great choice!

Haha thank you, I trust you 🤣

I think the hem of the top hits at your widest point and draws attention to that area. You have a beautiful shape and I actually love the fabric of the top but I don’t think it’s particularly flattering.

7238SM · 16/07/2026 11:53

Although the trousers look light/cool, they also look rather see through. I'd want to ensure my underwear wasn't patterned or visible. Slimmer trousers would be more flattering but appreciate its sticky in hotter weather.

ineedaheronow · 16/07/2026 11:58

I’m about 95% sure my pants aren’t visible, if they were my mum would’ve definitely said something when I went for coffee with her 😅

I like it but both items look on the baggy/bulky side. Colours nice on the top.

OwlCalledSage · 16/07/2026 12:02

I think it’s fine. I’m not mad about the top. I’d prefer something not sleeveless and with a straight hem.

bananaapplepears · 16/07/2026 12:04

I don't think it's very flattering. A fitted top always looks best with baggy trousers.

TheClocksFast · 16/07/2026 12:08

Yes, that looks nice. I’d be adding some matching jewellery (I feel naked without a necklace and earrings).

I don’t have pierced ears but do have some necklaces to add!
