I haven't been a thrift shop this year as I am actively trying to downsize my wardrobe.</p> <p>JAILEEN I haven't tried a cropped trench either. I have two short but not cropped ones so definitely don't need a third even if it is a bit different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-well-do-mesh-flats-play-eith-patterned-bottoms#post-2410732 Sat, 18 Apr 2026 01:31:38 +0000 Indigoprint 2410732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you for your replies.

Like DEBBIE I see them as a neutral not a pattern </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-well-do-mesh-flats-play-eith-patterned-bottoms#post-2410721 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:19:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2410721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please can you tell us what you chose for the wedding in the end? I am always interested in what happens after Fabbers’ input.<br /> But I think the mesh shoes will look fantastic with those pants as they are black and there is some black in the pants. Great pants, they remind me of the bronze/black swirl pants I am wearing right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-well-do-mesh-flats-play-eith-patterned-bottoms#post-2410720 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 22:05:40 +0000 Debbie 2410720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t have any mesh shoes. In my opinion though they act almost like a neutral I would definitely wear them with those pans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-well-do-mesh-flats-play-eith-patterned-bottoms#post-2410719 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:53:34 +0000 Indigoprint 2410719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DS wedding is approaching. Thanks to Fabbers previous input I am sorted for the wedding.<br /> The reception is held on a later date. It is a picnic with a bounce house for the kids.<br /> I have chosen a pair of flowy lantern style pants in a print. I am still sorting out my topper. I was wondering about trying some mesh flats, but am not sure if that would be too much pattern on the bottom?<br /> Those who have had mesh flats for awhile what kind of bottom do you lean towards ? A pattern or do you stick with solids? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-skinny-on-my-skinnies#post-2410700 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:48:47 +0000 kkards 2410700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Straight are my current go to. &nbsp;But barrels are a definitely my 2nd choice.

Even a bit looser, like a full length boyfriend cut. The calf sucking skinnies are the ones that feel off.</p> <p>ROBINF I agree that our feel expectations may have changed.</p> <p>DEE and AQUAMARINE good to be in your camp :). </p> <p>I'm not editing mine, I may wear them occasionally but definitely not first choice. I think cropped ones may feel better. Like the pair I showed last week with the white eyelet button down. The bare ankle on display is more appealing to me than the full length calf sucking look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-skinny-on-my-skinnies#post-2410688 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 14:03:47 +0000 Angie 2410688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Star,</b> do you mean you prefer Slim Straights to Super Skinnies?&nbsp;</p> <p>Always good to RE-assess how we feel in items after their hibernation. Now you know, and this is excellent information.&nbsp;</p> <p>NEXT :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-skinny-on-my-skinnies#post-2410679 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:39:53 +0000 RobinF 2410679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I was always more a slim rather than skinny jean fan. And now looser just feels better. I am right now wearing some flares and the thighs feel oddly snug - plenty of stretch though so still comfortable. Sometimes I wonder if I have gotten bigger, even though my weight is the same, because pants that used to feel comfortable no longer do. But I think I just have different "feel" expectations now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-skinny-on-my-skinnies#post-2410677 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 12:13:45 +0000 Dee 2410677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too, am much less fond of skinnies ( actually was never a big fan), but I've kept 2 pairs in my holding zone because I reluctantly bought them as the skinny phase was winding down (unbeknownst to me) but I'm so much happier wearing the looser fits now. Straights are also a big part of my wardrobe, they are timeless in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-skinny-on-my-skinnies#post-2410670 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:20:02 +0000 Aquamarine 2410670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I’m a late adapter and recently started to feel off from the more fitted bottoms. No skinnies here but even straight legs haven’t been feeling good to me. No barrels here either but I did add three pairs of looser fit bottoms recently. Will keep the straights because once I get rid of them, they will start trending hard again (which I believe has started). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-skinny-on-my-skinnies#post-2410668 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:14:35 +0000 Star (Lise) 2410668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Friends </p> <p>I have to 'fess up' to you guys. I may have a rep here for being a cheerleader for skinny jeans. This is not really accurate. I love straight jeans. I have never worn low-rise skinnies as they do not work on my body shape. I have a few skinnies with a higher rise but they have not fitted for five years. Well they fit now and I don't love them. There I said it. For all the same reasons some of you said; too restrictive, look dated, uncomfortable. High Five to all of you who feel this way, I'm now on your team. No barrels for me yet but Team Looser Jeans going forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-packing-challenge#post-2410499 Wed, 15 Apr 2026 04:32:15 +0000 Suz 2410499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that first skirt outfit and think it is worth wearing much more than you have planned! I wouldn't waste it on travel, either - in case it wrinkles too much! It looks party worthy to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like 8 and also 13.&nbsp;</p> <p>What an honour for your dad and what a special trip! I am sure it is stressful to plan for, but you are going to look great and I think you'll also be comfortable in these options. Bon voyage, and yes -- bring the swimsuit!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-packing-challenge#post-2410435 Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:33:49 +0000 Sisi 2410435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an exciting trip!

What a great honor and opportunity for you to travel with him. I like you in all the outfits, especially without the cardigans truthfully. #1 and #8 are especially good. I won't even try to guess which is appropriate for which occasions though . </p>
