Longer for Leggings


I have made suggestions about tall boots, tight pants, and blazers, but haven't shown any shirts that would complete the outfit. Per usual, I prefer shirts that are a bit longer when worn with tighter pants to conceal the bad parts. Also, I tend to gravitate towards v-neck styles that create a illusion of height. Here are some options....

1. Express Long Sleeved Cardigan http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=22316&parentCategoryId=2&categoryId=20&subCategoryId=20 You can always take a long cardigan and pair it with tight pants and a tight tank top underneath. Pair with a circle scarf for day and a brightly colored thick belt around it for night with layered necklaces.
These T-shirts may look plain, but they are super soft and fit really well. They look awesome under a boyfriend blazer and with leggings. Pair with a racer-back tank underneath for a contrasting look.
3. Wren Hillary Silk Pocket Tank-http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=WREN-WS7&c=Tops+-+Casual&s=C&n=s These silk racer-back tanks are great because you can layer over them for warmth, but by themselves they look great too. Pair with a metallic skinny belt in the loops of your jeans and ankle boots with loads of jewelry.
A lot of shirts at Forever 21 can look a lot more expensive than what they cost. They also are unique. This top would look great with leggings and riding boots, collar popped upright. Throw on a long hooded sweater for colder temps.
