You could absolutely try a size down too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731577 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 17:20:25 +0000 Carla 1731577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried these on yesterday in the J. Crew store. I was surprised at how wrinkled they were, though I'm sure a steam or a press would resolve that issue. I don't know why the store didn't take care of that....</p> <p>The fabric is lovely - soft and drapey. I believe they are 98% wool, and dry cleaning is indicated. I thought they looked really good, and would style them with pussy bow blouses, turtlenecks, striped T and either a jean jacket or a chanelesque topper. The plaid is black and white, with a blue running through it. It would fit in with any wardrobe based on black, white and/or blue. A bright coloured top (red, yellow, etc.) would work too.</p> <p>They would have come home with me, if I was planning on staying in the workforce a little longer...but since I'm not, I want to spend my clothing dollars differently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731545 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 15:55:27 +0000 gradfashionista 1731545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'd probably have to shorten these. </p> <p>Suz, looking forward to seeing you in these! Please post pics when available. </p> <p>Elpgal, they're very swishy, and very voluminous! The stock photos make them appear more narrow than they are. </p> <p>Kkards, I'd run into rise issues if I sized down. They fit well in the waist and hip, although I've heard of people sizing down in this model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731526 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 14:57:53 +0000 kkards 1731526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm. i see that angie thinks these fit, but i wonder if you tried a smaller size, IMO they look a little big, or maybe the waist just needs to be taken in a little.&nbsp;<br />wondering how you are planning to style. i would think that would impact the lenght.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731476 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 12:18:28 +0000 Karie 1731476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love these! The fit looks good (culottes are very hard to photograph). I would shorten them, I think you'll like them even better at a shorter length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731407 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 06:26:46 +0000 Bijou 1731407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of them and the fabric is lovely - an iron or steam will make them look so much better. This length is too long for flat shoes, but if you wore them with heels, I think they would work. I love the drape of these pants, they look very fresh after all of the skinny and straight fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731379 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 03:08:47 +0000 Banoffi 1731379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these on you, but to my eye they should be shorter. I'm no expert in culotte length though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731368 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 02:35:31 +0000 crazyone 1731368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you! &nbsp;Which size did you go with? &nbsp;We have similar bottom halves, and I am considering getting a pair. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731363 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 02:21:00 +0000 elpgal 1731363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them! Length looks fine to me.</p> <p>ETA: is the fabric swishy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731273 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 00:23:50 +0000 Angie 1731273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They fit really well in #3 - and yes - a little long on you. Hack off 2 inches if you keep them.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731271 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 00:23:11 +0000 Suz 1731271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: maybe steam or let them hang out as it is hard to see if the pleat is falling right. I fear this for myself also since I don't have model skinny thighs but muscular ones.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731269 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 00:22:19 +0000 Suz 1731269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the struggle of photographing culottes.&nbsp;</p> <p>You're a brave one to post without styling. In my experience, whenever any of us does that, there is misunderstanding and confusion and a wide variety of responses.&nbsp;</p> <p>First, I'm excited to see the colour. (Full disclosure: I've ordered them, too.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Second, I think you will need to hem them but if you love them at this length, let's see you style them up to see how they work; I expect you'd need a bit of heel.&nbsp;</p> <p>Third -- they're a bit wrinkled out of the bag but also look like they have lovely drape.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fourth-- thank you for showing them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-j-crew-culottes-just-arrived#post-1731266 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 00:18:56 +0000 gradfashionista 1731266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the plaid and tabs on the side. I prefer them at this length, although the consensus will probably be that they should be hemmed a bit above my ankle. I'm not sure if they're keepers, though. </p> <p>Posting these--*not styled*--so that you can see the drape and fit on a non-model. </p> <p>Photographing culottes is challenging, because movement changes their look entirely. </p>
