Gap Genie Slouchy Khakis Pics! WIWW

I posted about the Gap Slouch Khakis here first and wanted to give some pics.

These are just "quickie" pics with only minimal styling but I wanted to show you how versatile (at least I think) these Gap slouchy khakis might be. This is my usual size at Gap so I'm not sure I'd say to size up - I require a belt to keep them on.

They are a big wrinkly since the tag is still on. And I didn't even play with the roll, just tried them on as they came (already rolled).

1. First I tried them with the white shirt navy stripes, red belt and red sandals. I love this color combo and have a lot of navy in my wardrobe.

2. With a colorful peasant top and same shoes/belt. I may need to invest in a navy belt (if you notice the red isn't the best with the colors in the peasant top in brighter daylight.)

3. To show the versatility in color combos I mixed them with a brown cardi and brown belt. And since I neglected to save the photo showing the scarf I added a photo of the scarf next to it.

4, 5. Rear and side shots for reference for those interested.

On second try on I still find them really comfortable and light compared to many other warm weather pants options. I have a pair in the traditional khaki color too so I'm torn on rather to keep both or not - the khaki color does bookend my hair color so I'm tempted.

Thanks for posting this! They look great. I like it that they're slouchy from the front but the rear view is still very flattering.

How much do they stretch out as you wear them? I always worry about baggy knees, etc, with this kind of fabric.

Ok, Tex, those do look great on you. I will definitely give these a try-on myself now, thanks to you. I like them with all the tops but agree about the navy belt going better with #2. Scarf and black is my favorite color combo. Rearview - very flattering!

K. Period.

You look fantastic in these! I'm interested in what Angie says about fit. I think these look more relaxed than slouchy. That's the way that I love to wear mine, though, so I think it is the perfect compromise between roomy and comfortable and figure flattering. Still fashion forward, but not too extreme. I'm always pro-figure flattering and will sacrifice a little edgy fashion forwardness in its favor. I love the color too--olives are a favorite of mine. People forget how fantastically versatile it is. They get caught up in the idea that it is green and miss that it is a neutral. And green and red are a favorite color combo of mine. So, bottom line, I think these look fantastic, I love the way you've paired them, and I can't wait to see your WIW posts with these all summer!!!

These look great. I wonder how they would stay up if worn as Angie observed and tried. I shall have to give it a go, I think!

These look great on you Tex. That olive is really nice, but does the regular khaki *look* more summery? Maybe it makes sense to keep both - I don't remember but did Angie say in her review that she is hoping they will come out in white? Those would be nice to have for summer.

Ceit, I did try the scrunching but they don't stay up for me and I wouldn't wear them that way myself although I'd love to see them on others.

Pil, . I don't see them in white onine, but they do have a dark blue and stone. I think worn with white or "light" tops and sandals the green are great for spring/summer but yes, the "stone" color is lighter so it's tempting to keep them too. The light weight feel and comfort may sway me. I already have white summer jeans in both long and BF shorts versions so I don't think I need another pair of white pants myself, but I'll bet these would be great in white!

These are winners on you!

I want you to try scrunching the legs to below your calves and walking around the house for a while. Pretty please?

Great fit. I'd love to see them scrunched too:)

Thanks for the report from the front! These look great on you. Of course, I have months of winter left here!

Suz

These look perfect for you! They work with all your colours and are a fun new neutral. They also work ideally with your climate. I love seeing all the pairings here - thank you for taking the time to do that.

Hmmm. Maybe you need TWO pair - one in this olive and one in khaki?
