Can Someone Help Me Find A Top To Wear With Black Wide Leg Crepe Pants?

SmileI love the pants but don't know if I should wear a long or short top with them. Must have 3/4 or long sleeves. Sweater or blouse? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have to wear shoes that aren't over 1/12 in. high. No Susan Graver or Quacker.

Iwantcoffee: Love that top

Stardust: IMO...if you're wearing wide leg pants, something more fitted and a bit shorter look very nice and balanced. I don't like the big tops on top of big pants.

Crepe as in dress for work, or crepe formal slacks? Where are you going?

Check Bob Mackie's offerings. He sells tons of wide-leg pants and designs for things to wear with them.

OMG, that top is so elegant!! It would be THE top for those pants. With a wide leg pant, it's good to keep the top or jacket around 26-27" so the hip line flows with the pant.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Bob really knows how to put together tops with his wide leg pants.

Just casual. They were very expensive heavy crepe, no shine, just a pant I can wear anywhere or can I? Because they are crepe does that necessarily mean they are dressy? I'm a more casual dresser.

This is a beautiful top however I'm a more casual person. This top would be beautiful for the holidays.

Check out HSN - they have some really nice tops - much more high end than SG or Quacker. I just bought a couple dresses and tops on clearance and couldn't be happier with the quality. One dress was a Natori - can I say gorgeous. Also take a look at Joan Rivers - not sure what she had on the Q but her clothing seemed classy. If you want dressy - check out this top - I think its beautiful.
