I bought them in 2014 as what I called my “evening pants”, and think I wore them for the first time at my daughter’s 21st which was held in a marquee in our then empty back yard after clearing for but not yet building our new house. They were my most expensive pants at the time $207 but have had nearly 150 wears. They have sort of been superseded but I keep them as very occasionally they are just the thing. Worn twice last year and once this year so far.<br /> They feel more dressy than usual black pants. You can see from the photo that the satin does wrinkle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-wild-%e2%80%94-have-you-ever-seen-anyone-wearing-satin-pants#post-2412585 Fri, 08 May 2026 18:52:05 +0000 Lisa 2412585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-wild-%e2%80%94-have-you-ever-seen-anyone-wearing-satin-pants#post-2412544 Fri, 08 May 2026 00:17:05 +0000 Jaime 2412544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not.

I wore them once for an occasion at Christmas. I have them in my holding zone but don’t want to let them go as they are a perfect fit and feel nice to wear for dressy occasions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-wild-%e2%80%94-have-you-ever-seen-anyone-wearing-satin-pants#post-2412494 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:58:23 +0000 Aquamarine 2412494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all. But I live in a suburban locale. Will have to look next time I’m in the city, which is chock-full of college kids and trendier types. I’ll also be looking for barrel legs, per Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-wild-%e2%80%94-have-you-ever-seen-anyone-wearing-satin-pants#post-2412493 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:46:45 +0000 Irina 2412493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only satin pair I see is in my closet! &nbsp;:)<br />I bought it for my special occasion capsule.

They seem a little too precious for my lifestyle but I can see the appeal. But I do wonder about how practical they might be — prone to creasing, easy to stain, and would likely skew too dressy for daily wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-wild-%e2%80%94-have-you-ever-seen-anyone-wearing-satin-pants#post-2412488 Thu, 07 May 2026 12:26:58 +0000 AndiB 2412488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of satin jogger/utility pants that I wore exactly once before losing some weight.&nbsp; Super cute, but alas (or gratefully?) too big now.&nbsp; I wandered through Nordstrom Rack last night after returning a dress (NEVER WANDER BACK THROUGH AFTER A RETURN!) and saw a rack of pastel satin pants, so funny you mention this.&nbsp; I have not seen on anyone In Real Life.&nbsp; But not for me I guess.&nbsp; I did pick up a pair of wide leg khaki Rag and Bone trousers though.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-wild-%e2%80%94-have-you-ever-seen-anyone-wearing-satin-pants#post-2412484 Thu, 07 May 2026 11:02:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2412484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been seeing wide-leg satin pants touted as trendy for about two years now, but I’ve never seen a person actually wearing them.</p> <p>Have you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411967 Fri, 01 May 2026 19:02:49 +0000 Lisa 2411967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty examples! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/xana-do#post-2411768 Wed, 29 Apr 2026 09:29:46 +0000 lyn67 2411768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great cut, it suits you- how is the back looking? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411706 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 12:10:00 +0000 RobinF 2411706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such pretty examples! I could see it as a skirt. The stiffness would give it some shape.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411665 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:52:12 +0000 Jaime 2411665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your examples are very compelling Carol!

I love seeing this fabric again. I'm an 80s and 90s kid. When I was 8 or 9, I had a piano recital. My mom found me this taffeta dress on clearance. (I grew up dirt poor, so this was a big deal.) The dress had a black velvet bodice. The skirt was a bubble skirt was cobalt blue with velvet scroll work on it. The sleeves were short or elbow length, and also bubble shaped. &nbsp;I miss the interesting fabrics we used to have. Everything is more casual and wash-n-wear these days, it seems.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411629 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:05:31 +0000 Angie 2411629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Organza is such an '80s fabric :)</p> <p>It's expressive, and it makes sense that you like it, <b>Carol</b>!</p> <p>It can be scratchy to wear as a top, so I'm warning you. You can create a similar effect with chiffon, which is much, much softer. Granted, chiffon does not hold its shape the same way organza does.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411620 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:53:00 +0000 Suz 2411620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could definitely pull it off in a cretive way...as in photo 9. It's a gorgeous fabric, but of course quite delicate. An organza blouse with a floor sweeping skirt is a great look for a ball.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organza-rabbit-hole#post-2411617 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:35:06 +0000 Carol 2411617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked up organza yesterday to remind me what it was (a stiff, gauzy fabric made from a variety of materials), and it was so beautiful that I ended up clicking on photo after photo and wondering if and how it would fit into my life.&nbsp;</p> <p>The nicer versions are like art pieces, and the cheaper versions are compelling enough. The wraps are most appealing to me--I don't think they do much in terms of warmth, but have major visual impact.</p> <p>They look, at first glance, like they only belong at galas. But I think a creative person, an irreverent person, a bold person might be able to pull it off in a more casual way. Perhaps with a leotard and pleated skirt...or a gothy black tank dress and boots...I bet there are a million ways.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/xana-do#post-2411589 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:10:06 +0000 Suz 2411589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fab cut on you, <b>Carol!</b> Love the shape. It looks intentionally a bit undone -- I like that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/xana-do#post-2411570 Sun, 26 Apr 2026 21:12:38 +0000 Carol 2411570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bella--thank you!</p> <p>Cookie--thank you--I have not heard that in a while. I am a bit towards "now" Bridget...a bit of a loose attitude towards pizza.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/xana-do#post-2411569 Sun, 26 Apr 2026 21:10:42 +0000 Carol 2411569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla--thanks!</p> <p>Ket--jaw-dropping, wow! I should have known you would know this cut. Texturizing cream--noted.</p> <p>Indigoprint--intriguing...sounds like partially an anti-frizz product. Worth looking into.</p> <p>kellygirl--thank you--high praise!</p> <p>Bijou--thanks for the specific advice. She did seem to have hair that was very alive.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/xana-do#post-2411568 Sun, 26 Apr 2026 21:06:23 +0000 Carol 2411568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lise--I think I will be needing a round brush--that's what my stylist used. And my bangs want to go that way...</p> <p>Debbie--thanks</p> <p>Dee--thanks. Especially the bit about warm, then cool blast.</p> <p>Roberta--I have wondered about those. I will note the vote of confidence.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jaime--thanks! You do have a good natural curl though, looks like.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/xana-do#post-2411567 Sun, 26 Apr 2026 21:01:17 +0000 Carol 2411567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal--thank you. I also have a wave--at the bangs, specifically. I will have to try that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kate--thanks. I think that's true--I will need to work with it, though. Today I styled it and it's a bust! But I will work on it.</p> <p>Angie--I have not tried a curling iron. Are you talking about one more for body, or for actual curls?&nbsp;</p> <p>Sharan--thanks. And second for the blow-dry. I probably do need to splurge on a good anti-frizz product--they make a difference for me.</p> <p>Lisa--styling is also not my game! Hope to get better.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/xana-do#post-2411565 Sun, 26 Apr 2026 20:58:49 +0000 Cookie 2411565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just realized BRIDGET FONDA is who you look like.

I guess brocade it is--a very embellished brocade. I have never been to Detroit, surprisingly. I bet I would love it, and I would DEFINITELY go to the Motown museum.&nbsp; </p>
