Fixing up this shirt for work
Permalink Closed


How would you make this shirt work for work?   I am thinking a cardigan to cover the shoulders and would you do a black belt or no with the way the bottom is made?

I would actually tuck it into a skirt and then put a printed cardigan over it, or a solid cardi with a textured/printed skirt.

Just cardigan or blazer. Don't put on the belt, it's not meant to be with the belt it might move from the waist - won't look well. Leave the waist as is.

Tuck in to high waisted pants/skirt, long streamlined cardigan.

If she tucks it under the skirt - it will bulge from under it & create an unflattering weight around the waist/upper hip area.

I don't know, I think that really depends on the style of skirt. Pencil skirt? yes. But a fuller skirt won't show lumps and bumps, I tuck things into my fuller skirts all the time!

I'd wear it over a pencil skirt or non-bulky pants.  I would not belt or tuck in - the waist will look good as is.  Cardi or jacket to top it off

I agree.  I think if you keep the bottom streamlined, the top will fall right.

 I disagree, I have tops w/the same type of hem and tuck them in all the time. Doesn't cause any bulges for me.

I don't think it would necessarily cause bulges either - unless you are especially small of hip, that band is going to be decently stretched out once it's on and will lay much flatter that it does unstretched.  I've even tucked tops into my tights under a skirt before, for bulge-insurance mostly.  Works well!

Thanks guys! Would you do a more fitted or flow-y cardigan? I'm thinking fitted.

I would do tailored over feminine to balance out the girliness of the top. Here's a similar idea

I think either would be fine.  Maybe a fitted cardi with a-line skirts (a little more of a classic look), and a longer one with a pencil skirt (a little more modern)?

I'd go with more fitted than flowy.  The shirt will look cute peeking out of a fitted cardi
