The onetime resident of hang-loose Hawaii wishes the sleeves of the
cotton shirt ($42) were longer and the flares on the corduroy pants
($49.50) narrower. "They're a little flamboyant," says Walsh.
"I wore bell-bottoms back in the '70s, but if I wore them now
it would look like I had an identity problem." |
While Watkins doesn't like the way the knit pants ($21.99) flare below
the knee, she is impressed that the "turtleneck [$24.99] fits
close but not too tight" and that the acrylic-cotton fabric seems
durable. "I stretched the sweater to put it on, and it stretched
right back into shape!" |
Not only do the basil-colored shirt ($39.50) and tie ($38) constitute
"a real power outfit," says Lewis, it saves energy. "I
have a problem matching my shirt and tie, and this look is a no-brainer,"
he says, adding, "I think this is great — and that's my
final answer." |
"At first I thought, 'These feel kind of stiff,' " says
Lozano of the heavy-duty denim vest ($88) and pants with padded knees
($68). "But they feel durable, like they'd be good in the snow.
Once you broke them in they'd be perfect." With the proper shoe,
that is. "The pants are kind of bell-bottomed, so you need to
wear big boots with a heel," the 6'1" Lozano warns. "I
tried them on with loafers and I looked like Gumby." |
