I look forward to the pics.</p> <p>Cathy, don’t you think the BR model's pants are a better length? You don’t know what you signed up for asking me about the length of pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100874 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:30:32 +0000 Sarah 100874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, thanks for the info Angie. I broke down and bought the A|X black check skinny pants that were discussed on here awhile back and they fit me like the BR pants you linked to (with heels). I'll keep my eye out for some pontes in that cut - otherwise I can make do with the check pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100831 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 04:32:02 +0000 cciele 100831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>queenie -- not at all, no worries! Those shoes are really old, and are actually Ariat shoes meant for clomping around the barn (or something). The pants definitely don't work with a clunky shoe. </p> <p>Angie -- Here is how Macys has style the pants--no scrunch, hits above the heel:<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=404065&#038;CategoryID=45200" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=45200</a></p> <p>I'll try to rustle up some photos with heels, although the heels I do have probably won't work with them. I wonder if they only look good with heels that are over 3", like Sarah mentioned.</p> <p>Shana -- I'm not sure about the slouch boots either. I guess if I were to wear slouchy boots, I'd generally be wearing black leggings. So I'll definitely wear these with flats, and maybe some kind of bootie if I could find a pair that works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100763 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:33:52 +0000 shana 100763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy, I like them best with flats. I'm not sure about the slouchy boots - I guess I am used to a very streamlined fit (like leggings) with the slouchy boots. </p> <p>Angie, what do you think about all the "ankle" length pants that J Crew is showing? For example, they have a ponte knit pant (pixie pants) and another twill pant (Minnie) as well as the toothpick ankle jeans &amp; cords. They seem to showcase them with heels (and flats). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100749 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:41:10 +0000 Angie 100749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patience, Sarah and Cathy, I don’t know if the hems on these Ponte pants will work with heels. They don’t look long enough “to cascade over” a heeled shoe the way straight legs do, if you know what I mean. And they are not skinny enough to be cropped at the ankle. AND, there’s no scrunch. Need to see the look with heels to be sure. Hope that makes some sense! </p> <p>This is the look you are after with heels. You need a bit of length and a tapered hem: </p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=6871560124001&#038;cid=6731" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....8;cid=6731</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100631 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:47:48 +0000 Queen Mum 100631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy- I hope you didnt think I was dissing your shoes. I didn't mean to imply that...They just didn't work with those pants. I can totally see them with bootcut jeans though-- the contrast of denim with the black would be cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100628 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:44:37 +0000 Sarah 100628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same here, Patience. I would probably only wear ponte pants with 3" + heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100627 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:34:06 +0000 Patience 100627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was beginning to wonder if Angie and Kyle thought that ponte pants don't work with heels in general. But maybe you just mean those particular pair of shoes? If heels don't work at all, I'm curious to know why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100558 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 06:01:20 +0000 Angie 100558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see the look, Cathy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100549 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 05:16:46 +0000 cciele 100549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie -- I think they are too skinny for Cons. However, I definitely need to pick up some ankle boots!</p> <p>queenie -- I know what you mean about those shoes. They're kind of clunky, and need to be styled a certain way to work. So not with those pants. I was trying to find a pair of black heeled shoes and that's all I had!</p> <p>Kyle + Angie -- do you think a heeled ankle boot or shootie would work? Or heeled pumps? I'm happy to stick with flats and boots for tucking in, but curious about other options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100513 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:20:12 +0000 Angie 100513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I'm with Kyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100495 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:06:51 +0000 Kyle 100495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they work with flats or tucked into boots...but not with heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100487 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:12:57 +0000 Queen Mum 100487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the first shoe, I was thinking they seemed a bit short, but then when I saw the red shoes, I really liked them-- and they look fab with the boots!<br /> I think the look with the first shoes seemed a bit..... hmmmm.... off? matronly? I cant' pinpoint the word exactly. But I'd avoid wearing them with the black shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100468 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:36:38 +0000 RoseandJoan 100468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good to me. If you are wearing as a jeans alternative could you wear them with your cons? I also think they would look cute with a ballet flat or ankle boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100457 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 05:33:26 +0000 cciele 100457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That makes sense, Maya. I'm used to a bit more of a scrunch with my skinnies, so wasn't sure if these looked odd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100448 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:32:13 +0000 Ana 100448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Maya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100447 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:26:36 +0000 Maya 100447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at the side view, I don't think there is any way these could be any longer given how narrow the leg opening is. Skinnies and straight legs can't skim the ground with heels. Love them with boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-ponte-pants-too-short#post-100388 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:30:04 +0000 cciele 100388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by the great reviews that the INC ponte pants have been receiving, I went to check them out at Macys today. I found a pair of black ones in the petite section that fit perfectly. But are they too short? I really want them to work because they are soooo comfortable :)<br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Outfits/DSC_2197.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....C_2197.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Outfits/DSC_2198.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....C_2198.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Outfits/DSC_2200.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....C_2200.jpg</a></p> <p>Here's how they look with slouchy boots:<br /> <a href="http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt252/cciele/Outfits/DSC_2199.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i617.photobucket.com/al.....C_2199.jpg</a></p> <p>I actually have no idea what type of shoe to wear with these. I was think of a black ankle bootie or shootie, but I don't have any (yet).</p> <p>By the way -- the black fabric (rayon poly blend) is smoother than the gray of the ones that shiny has (the gray is fuzzier). And the black ones in the regular size (with the same faux-jeans styling) were completely different -- they were 95% cotton and were a faded black. I didn't like the fabric, or how they fit. </p>
