I like that shape with many different kinds of shoe, and I feel they could dress up or down depending on the fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-current-classic-pants#post-2292636 Thu, 24 Nov 2022 02:37:09 +0000 Jaime 2292636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes a pant named Kate make alot of sense for you, doesn't it ?

I have them in a few cuts - semi-jogger and cropped straights . </p> <p>I like the shorter Liverpool flare you have in finds above though - I bet you’d get a lot of wear from those . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-current-classic-pants#post-2292565 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 17:26:35 +0000 Suz 2292565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Kates could be great and right up a Princess's alley! Your style icon to the rescue!&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree for dressiness sake you would be better with woven vs. knit. Also for durability.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-current-classic-pants#post-2292556 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 17:10:25 +0000 Angie 2292556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are after a more relaxed straight. (It cracks me up what many retailers are calling straights - when they are clearly skinny).</p> <p>I had my red J. Crew Kates on all day yesterday. SOOOOO COMFY!! They stretched out a bit though. But I pressed them back into shape this morning. Perfect! They have quite a bit of ease. &nbsp;The true STRAIGHT silhouette. My velvet lined versions are even roomier. Very trouser-y.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the Liverpool pants you have here. But if they are knitted - pass. I'd keep them woven.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-current-classic-pants#post-2292548 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 15:51:02 +0000 Helena 2292548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh those are really nice; I'll check them out further, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-current-classic-pants#post-2292547 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 15:43:11 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2292547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about the Kate pants Angie posted on recently?<br />&lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/pants/straight/kate-straight-leg-pant-in-four-season-stretch/BK251?display=all&amp;fit=Classic&amp;color_name=black&amp;colorProductCode=BK251">https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens.....n-four-sea</a>&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-current-classic-pants#post-2292545 Wed, 23 Nov 2022 15:00:58 +0000 Helena 2292545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie and all,</p> <p>I am shopping for black dress pants and struggling to narrow down what I'm looking for in terms of style - can you help me define a few parameters to narrow my search? Here's my mish-mash of wants/needs and thoughts: <ul> <li>Versatile - not so dressy I couldn't pair with tank top, not so casual they won't work with a blouse - somewhere in the middle. Also I don't want them to be winter pants per se - again cutting off the extremes, I'd like them to be multi-seasonal</li> <li>Doesn't need a sky high heel to look good - reasonable with flats or a lower heel</li> <li>Current - but not so trendy that I will be sick on them next year - as I would like to get several seasons out of them since I doubt they'll be frequent flyers</li> <li>Not too floppy - I've seen some popular dress pants have a really drapey, floppy vibe - I *think* I'd like something a bit sharper - this might be a matter of length - thinking hemmed right at the ankle bone will keep them crisper?</li> <li>What cut would be good? I'm noticing many straight legs look too close to a skinny cut for where I'm at currently - think I want some width, but the true wide legs can be a bit much on me since I'm small (esp without a heel) - thinking bootcut or flare, but are these at risk of not sticking around? Maybe straight is the safest route?</li> </ul> Anyways, that's all a bit disjointed, hence the question! Appreciate any thoughts; thanks Angie et al! xx</p> <p><b>Finds</b>: Two pairs Angie shared recently that appealed, as well as a number of items I would foresee wearing them with.&nbsp; </p>
