I have the same issue with chest tenting but will resist the Madewell link as I am really trying to "walk away from" the blacks and greys.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1835836 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 16:02:58 +0000 shoppingisfun 1835836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top looks good. I really don't like those pants at all. I think it's the length. To me they should either be longer (ie bit cropped) or shorter. JMO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1834110 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 04:27:05 +0000 Greyscale 1834110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh, minor frustration -- I do love these Everlane pants. But I stopped by their showroom to return something today, and they restocked them, but in pure black, not this faded washed black. If I'd known they would offer that color, I would have waited. Though, the almost-grey of these is more versatile than I feared it would be.&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess if my black Uniqlo wide-legs really are too big, I could replace them with an Everlane pair, but that seems a little excessive.</p> <p>It's the second time this has happened. I have an Everlane silk shirt in washed black, and it was just subtly <i>off</i> with anything but really pure black jeans (the faded-ness clashed with faded jeans). It was orphaned in my closet until they came out with a solid black version and I splurged to 'upgrade' (I'll sell the first one).</p> <p>I guess the moral is, I should never buy anything described as washed black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833603 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 21:24:55 +0000 Sal 1833603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this shape top is great with the wide legs. &nbsp;It is balanced and simple.</p> <p>In the 2000s I wore lots of wide leg pants, culottes etc and my best shape was a welted top, slightly blouson, hitting just below the waistband. &nbsp;I had at least three tops this shape that worked brilliantly with three or four pairs of wide legged pants. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am hopeless with lengths - to me these look fine, but I think with a column of black you have more flexibility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833390 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 06:14:53 +0000 skylurker 1833390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the top : structured and good neckline on you.<br /> I have issues with wide cropped pants (I like old school jupe-culottes, ie around the knee, or wide leg trousers, but things in between baffle me) - can't help with length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833339 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 02:52:25 +0000 Greyscale 1833339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm considering getting the top in white as well - it's a nice thick knit that's probably opaque. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833330 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 02:10:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1833330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I posted a comment on this earlier but it seems to have disappeared. This look is very good -- and very you. The cropped or short boxy tops seem to be the key to this pants silhouette. I'm in my not-wearing-jeans season, but I know I'm going to resume the hunt for the just right tops like yours when the weather gets cooler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833318 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 01:44:46 +0000 Paula 1833318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>Greyscale</i>, thanks for sharing the Madewell link. &nbsp;I've also been trying to find tops that work with the 2 pr. of wide leg pants/jeans that I have, and it's tricky! &nbsp;</p> <p>You look great in this set!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833264 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 22:09:32 +0000 kkards 1833264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works perfectly! I think the magic is not so much in the volume, but in the length. The shorter length is perfectly balanced with the waist line of the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833249 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 21:02:17 +0000 Greyscale 1833249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, she does, and I'm glad she thought of this! Even if I'd found it myself, I might have had a (flawed) poison eye for it, but luckily her feedback convinced me to buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833246 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 20:38:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 1833246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect top on you!

You're making me want to do a hack job on my wide leg trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833226 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 19:34:51 +0000 Anonymous 1833226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is very cool!<br /> You are way ahead of me as far as tops go. It's tough to find these cropped tops--I am having a hard time getting on board with f for some reason. </p> <p>I too like to have a few wide crops actually I only have 1 pair) and that's enough.</p> <p>Slim straights are the way to go for me most days. Easy to wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833223 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 19:29:02 +0000 rachylou 1833223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great top. I agree about the top problem for wide leg crops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833218 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 19:25:58 +0000 Anonymous 1833218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works because neither top nor bottom is overly voluminous. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833216 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 19:22:42 +0000 The Cat 1833216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great combo for you! You look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adjusting-to-wide-legs-wiw#post-1833209 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 19:12:00 +0000 Greyscale 1833209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I jumped on the wide-leg crop trend, accidentally ending up with three pairs all at once. A few months in, I'm still wearing them often, though I think my next purchases will be slim, straight legs. One thing I've struggled with is tops. Aside from a few tees, I was at a loss for what looked good with them. So I was excited to find this cropped top at Madewell last weekend. The fitting room sales person - who recognizes me by now - said, oh, I have just the thing for you! and handed me this top that had been an online return. </p> <p>I've always avoided tops like this because I didn't like how they tent out from my chest. I assumed they'd only work on a smaller chest/torso. But this one is surprisingly flattering and so I'm giving it a try. It's a nice heavy cotton knit.</p> <p>I've found a few other tops that work well, including the Everlane square silk shirt and a cropped BR shirt from a few seasons ago. Long tunics work well for me, too. I'll try to take photos of a few other combinations - I took today's photos to convince myself that the top was a winner before cutting the tags. </p> <p>The pants are the Everlane wide leg crops, pinned up until I have time to hem them. (Is this length good? Hard to see with my Dr Martens I suppose.)</p> <p>Fall clothes are hitting stores and that means more black (yay!) and more structure (yay!). I'm suddenly spending a lot more time browsing new arrivals... </p> <p>Edit: I can't seem to make a Find from the Madewell page right now but here's the top:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.madewell.com/p/women/teesandmore/shortsleeve/setlist-boxy-tee/G5518">https://www.madewell.com/p/wom.....-tee/G5518</a></p>
