I think it's very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297913 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 21:09:40 +0000 Susie 1297913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These remind me of the Eileen Fisher cropped harem pants I have. I find them easiest to wear with tops with a welt (banded) bottom. Or a shorter, full top. </p> <p>And I love them on you! I think they could be very useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297899 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 20:49:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1297899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see these being fabulous for you Ornella - like Claire and others have suggested, play in your closet and see how they work with your tops.

As always. I'll make sure my tops and the band of these are match made in heaven, otherwise it's not happening.

If they work out, I predict that they become a real workhorse for Summer. I&nbsp;agree it's a good idea to try them on with your tops. I can't tell if they have an elastic waist or not, and since you don't wear T-shrits, it's doubly important that your shirts, blouses or sweaters 'get along' with the waist of these pants (I speak from experience).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297765 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 19:03:27 +0000 Ornella 1297765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'll go back and try them on with several tops Thanks for the input.</p> <p><b>Windchime</b> ::&nbsp;yes, that's the new sweater ;-)</p> <p><b>Diana</b> :: visuals, thank you!</p> <p><b>Joy</b> :: I thought about the tunic too&nbsp;myself.</p> <p><b>Janet</b> :: How did we ever live without&nbsp;semi-tucking?

I am not sure why I am not convinced. Wonder if I want to see two sizes up or because the waist and hip details are so hard to see in this lighting ... I also get a bit nervous when there is a 'No Return Policy' O_O</p> <p>Sorry no help I know I see I am spanner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297549 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:53:45 +0000 Angie 1297549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love from me. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297548 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:52:12 +0000 Jules 1297548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them, and I don't think sizing up is called for, they appear&nbsp;high waisted but already slouchy - the fit&nbsp;actually looks made for your figure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297540 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:40:19 +0000 Janet 1297540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're actually not far off of the vibe of the Athleta Prima capris that I have come to rely on. The waist on these is higher, but I think that's easily handled with longer or untucked tops. I say try them with all kinds of tops and see what works! For me, the Primas work because I can pull them down so they're not so high-waisted (high waisted is not good on short-torsoed me), and then semi-tuck. I'm not sure if semi-tucking is your thing, and these look a little high-waisted for that, but I bet untucked tops would look good with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297535 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:24:56 +0000 carambola 1297535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them!

I vote yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297517 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:09:22 +0000 Anonymous 1297517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a similar pair, still have tags on, and think that they look best with oversized or drapy tops. I like banded bottoms. Does your striped top work? How about an Italian white linen tunic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297516 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:06:55 +0000 Diana 1297516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love. This is a very similar shape to my two pairs of French connection slouchy clamdiggers that I wear all the time in summer. And like Ceit I love scrunching my linen pants up like this too.</p> <p>Eta: this is my current favorite way to wear them, with a longer, fluid but not too wide top:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-favorites-1" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....avorites-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297514 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 13:03:10 +0000 Windchime 1297514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They fit you beautifully! I'll be watching the replies with interest. Is that a glimpse of the sweater with green stripes in your pic? Great color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297490 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 12:27:46 +0000 Anonymous 1297490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them! They look like knickerbockers, and I often roll and push up my slouchy linen pants to get this exact look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297483 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 12:23:33 +0000 Elizabeth P 1297483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely!</p> <p>I honestly think you could wear them with a multitude of jersey tops, dressed up or down.&nbsp; Tees for casual, cardigans for a more dressed up look...&nbsp; Sassy sneakers, flats, sandals... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/analyze-this-shorter-take-on-harem-pants#post-1297481 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 12:18:22 +0000 Ornella 1297481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another hurried post as all mine are these days...&nbsp;</p> <p>This is the aftermath of the recreational visit to the store I keep cycling by and thinking "<i>I must check it some day</i>". Today was my last (convenient) chance, because after I move it will no longer be on my regular route.</p> <p>Found huge cotton sweater top with bold stripes&nbsp;that also matches my green scarf. I'll post it sometimes this week, I hope.</p> <p>Saw these. They looked so comfortable (jersey, but not tee-shirty or&nbsp;cheap looking, feels good when touched and worn) and I instantly saw myself wearing them during the long drives and hot summer days in general. Tried them on, wouldn't mind sizing up but there's no next size up, only two next sizes up, but these look good too... do they?&nbsp;</p> <p>I am so&nbsp;tickled by the thought of them&nbsp;and how unusual for me they are,&nbsp;I have a feeling they can be&nbsp;either huge hit or miss --&nbsp;but how on Earth do you style them?&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd hugely appreciate some&nbsp;ideas please.&nbsp;The store has no return policy, so I must go there with several tops to try them on before I take the plunge. Unless you talk me out of them right here and now :-D</p> <p>ETA: One limitation - I don't buy or longer regularly wear tee shirts.</p> <p>Worth considering?</p> </p>
