K/R BR drapey pants/joggers ETA-photo

Just received my Banana Republic Drapey Pants and I'm pretty sure they are keepers but thought I should ask the experts!

I've tried this style a couple of years ago but it was the Leith brand that was/is popular on the forum but the fit was too baggy and a tad too short so back they went. I like the slimmer fit in these and I think the length is long enough...

I've styled them a few ways here from super casual with slip ons and jean jacket (1) with a graphic print top and (2) and a pleione ivory faux wrap sleepless top and Sam Edelman sandals (3). I have lots of tops that would we seem to work and even casual tees seems like they would work, too, with a partial tuck and some flats....am I getting this right?

Thanks so much for your help and any and all suggestions for improvement are most appreciated.

Ps there is a glare from a reflection in the windo in photo 2 that distorts the color:(

They look fantastic to my eye but I'll defer to others for the length question.

Tanya

Great pants and love all the ways you styled them. A keeper for sure.

rabbit

They look really great on you, and to my eye the length is good, any longer would bunch up and you may be able to push them up or roll the hem if you want a cropped look from time to time.

Carole

Yay! Thanks, columbine, Tanya and Rabbit. I'm glad I held out for these...I think they will become a workhorse!

Bumping for a little more feedback:)

I just got my own first pair of track pants so I am definitely biased here
I like them but I would like to see the back and side view as well.
Can you provide a link for them?

Susie

These look great, Carole. I like how you've shown them and it sounds like you have plenty to wear with them.

Here's the link to the pants..

I lost my camera so I rely on my phone for photos...sorry for the poor quality...

I'll have to try to take another photo of the back...just can't get the hang of how to do it:(

I like them - I personally would prefer a little shorter, so as to see a strip of skin between the pants and the sandals. Can they be rolled?

Thanks, Susie!

Jules, I could push them up a bit I kind of have them lower on my waist and could easily hike them up a little! Thanks!

Jaime

Looks great especially with the white top.

Look good! I got the same ones Navy or black?
Did you get the long? I got regular and actually like the length, truly ankle length on me. If these are Long you may want to try regular as well to compare.

Thanks, Sveta! These are regulars in black....lately the regular lengths at BR have been working well for me. These can actually come up a little more on my waist to adjust the length...they look good from the back but I couldn't get a good picture....not too baggy just right! Yay, we can be drapey pant twins!

You can also turn up the cuffs on themselves to make the pants 1.5" shorter without adding the extra slouch on the leg.
I got navy and am happy to be a twin with you!

Sveta- thanks for the tip...I will definitely try that and see how they look! Thanks so much!

Another yes vote from me. Love them with the white top especially.

carter

Well shoot. I had no interest in drapey track pants until now. These look really terrific on you, and I love the way you've styled them.

Thumbs up. Super cute.

Sara L.

These look great on you. Perfect fit. I prefer the slightly dressier stylings but they all work.

Reneeb

I love them on you and like all the ways you have styled them. Are they comfortable and a summer weight pant?

With the sandals and sleeveless white top is the look i like best there. X

Why, thanks, ladies for your vote! It's so great to have another casual pant choice in my life besides skinny jeans! I like them best dressed up but to be practical they need to work for casual dressing, too!

Carter-I felt the same way until I found this slimmer version...I'm so broad shouldered that to balance me out I need somewhat slimming bottoms or I feel huge all over! I kept trying them on here and there but never felt they were flattering enough, until now! Yay!

Reneeb- these are SUPER comfortable and lightweight, too. We have a big trip coming up and can see these dressed up and down and great for traveling...and they can be hand washed!
