I made some slouchy pants and wore them to work on Monday. Then I wore them again today for play, on a day off. I wasn't entirely happy with the leg line, and a friend suggested I shorten them a little. So I did. I also tried wearing them rolled.
The pants are a medium weight stretch cotton, in dark indigo/navy with chalk pinstripes about 1/8" apart.They have a side panel, legs that widen toward the knee and taper back down at the ankle, front pockets inserted in the panel seam, and back pockets that are inserted into the back yoke seam. I was inspired by pants I have bought, and I wanted a full-length rather than cropped version.
1&2: As worn to work yesterday. Navy stripe slouch pants (made by me), geometric-print silk blouse in red/blue/cream/gray (made by me), open-weave high-low hem sweater (Kensie, from Nordstrom), brown croc-textured leather belt (Ralph Lauren), brown flat oxfords (Born)
Next photos taken after I shortened the pants:
3: As worn for play today. Slouch pants with scroll print tee (made by me), light grey boyfriend sweater with high-low hem (Halogen, Nordstrom), muted metallic belt w/ scattered studs and rhinestones (Calvin Klein, Nordstrom), oxblood patent loafers (Munro).
4&5: same as 3, without sweater, to show the top of the pants.
Next ones, playing with shoe options. . .
6: Same as 3, but with heeled spectator oxfords (Fidji)
7: Same as 3, but with pants rolled, and with graphite booties (Paul Green)
8: Same as 7, but with pants unrolled.
9: Pants front detail
10: Inspiration pants (Annette Goertz)
Not sure how flattering the slouchy look is at this length, but the pants are comfy and fun to wear.
Do I need another pair of these? Yay or nay?
Your thoughts and styling ideas welcome!
