Cargo/utility, I say depends on the fabric. I mean, you can get the style in a silky fabric... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-pants-jeans-cargos-etc#post-1894248 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 23:49:59 +0000 krishnidoux 1894248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I reached a point where I can say I'm a seasonned traveler.&nbsp;<br /><b></b>1) First<b></b>, take with you the denim that has the most classical/conservative cut while still be representative of your style - or that meshes well with it. For me, that's a bootcut with a little more leg room. Boring at home, ultra useful while traveling.&nbsp;<br />2) Second: black is most useful, then denim blue (mid-tone, or alternatively grey).&nbsp;<br />3) White jeans are fun at home but I find it difficult to travel in them because of how dirty they get, and also for another reason: when I travel I tend to get swollen limbs, and then I get self conscious. But that's personnal. Another issue for me with white jeans is the reduced footwear options, either that or the extra footwear it forces me to bring.<br />4) Cargos are extremely casual, actually for me they sometimes end up as pajamas!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-pants-jeans-cargos-etc#post-1894246 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 23:28:13 +0000 The Cat 1894246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and white jeans can look more dressy than blue and other coloured jeans.</p> <p>Cargos and utility jeans are in the same category as standard blue jeans.</p> <p>I sometimes wear heels with jeans. I think most kinds of shoes can be worn with jeans.</p> <p>If I was asked to dress "casual, no jeans", I would choose one of these solutions:<br /> ● dressy pants<br /> ● soft, comfortable skirt--kneelength or midi<br /> ● soft, relaxed dress (e.g. sweater dress in winter and simple printed long dress in summer)<br /> ● palazzo pants or harem pants</p> <p>If you want specific advice for what pants to bring, it would be helpful to know a little about your trip, for instance where you are going and when, and whether it is business, pleasure, or both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-pants-jeans-cargos-etc#post-1894239 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 22:13:00 +0000 Style Fan 1894239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on the jeans.&nbsp; The ones Angie posted are dressy jeans.&nbsp; I wear my cargo and utility pants to very casual events.&nbsp; But they are casual pants.<br />Black jeans seem dressier to me unless they are faded, ripped, etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-pants-jeans-cargos-etc#post-1894164 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 18:43:15 +0000 Helena 1894164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Imo, black jeans CAN be more dressy, if the cut is neat, because they can almost pass as non-jeans, BUT they have to be very saturated black, and my experience with black jeans is that they fade quickly.</p> <p>I think any jeans CAN be dressy, if the wash is saturated and the cut is neat and tailored. White jeans to me are inherently dressier-looking for some reason.</p> <p>To my eye, cargos and utility pants are more like a casual pair of jeans, but again the styling makes a difference - my friend once dressed up with camo cargo pants, but she had a dressy blouse and high heels on - so the overall effect was dressy.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-pants-jeans-cargos-etc#post-1894104 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:47:15 +0000 Angie 1894104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends ENTIRELY on the look and distressing of the denim. These are dressy jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/about-pants-jeans-cargos-etc#post-1894100 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:38:41 +0000 always trying 1894100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>planning a trip-? about kinds of pants to take. Just blue denim is easy.&nbsp; For me always just jeans casual. Now the questions and opinions-</p> <p>Do you find black jeans to be a little more dressy-or that you can dress them up a bit like with nicer tops. blazers, footwear, etc.?</p> <p>How about white jeans and colors or patterned ones?</p> <p>Are cargos and utility pants in the same category as standard blue denim, or maybe even more casual?</p> <p>To me pants like chinos are a bit more dressy when paired with nice tops, dressier jackets, etc. </p> <p>Do you wear heels with jeans?</p> <p>What do you wear for things like -casual no jeans?</p> <p>I have a really nice pair of black ponte pants but am thinking it may be too warm for them in the daytime.</p> <p></p>
