And mine are (of course) longer, also. I hope I can wear them in the spring.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449875 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 02:55:58 +0000 frannieb 1449875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>late to the party but smaller size all the way. the larger pair are really baggy and sloppy around your knee. glad you went with the smaller size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449864 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 02:34:36 +0000 Sveta 1449864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your feedback!<br />I am afraid it is not visible in the pictures how really baggy the bigger size is. I do prefer the fit of he smaller size so if experts think the length is OK for the ankle pant then I think I will keep them. I got them on a great sale (1/3 of the current price) so I can afford to experiment at that price point.<br />Aida, I added the link to the BR site - for some reason it did not went through for the first time.<br />Angie, I tried the sit down test and it was fine but I think I will try again to be sure. I am really amazed that these pants are not tight on the calves &nbsp;- my usual problem with tapered pants.<br />Suz, I think yours fit more like the bigger size on me, don't you think?<br />isabel, the smaller size is not pulling anywhere - or I would not be considering it at all.<br />sarah, I don't feel the elastic band fully exposed but I think it is fine with the semi tuck or full tuck when the top is blousoned a bit over it.<br />OK, so here is the thing: they are not available in Canada in Tall but there is Tall size in US. Angie, do you really think this length is fine in the smaller size or should I try to get the Tall somehow? They should be 2" longer according to the website.<br />I have tried them with pumps, flat oxfords and booties, pointy flats and loafers and they seem to work with all of them. Denise, I can pull them down a bit to see lower from the waist and it seems to work well.<br />OK, I am keeping them and making them my wild card for the spring. I hope they will be as useful as culottes were to change the outfit landscape for me. Now all I need to for snow to melt and for temps to go above freezing so I can bust them out!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449810 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 23:28:26 +0000 deb 1449810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, did you get the tall or the regular? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449805 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 23:25:07 +0000 deb 1449805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote smaller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449801 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 23:19:12 +0000 jackiec 1449801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. Great pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449789 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 23:10:02 +0000 columbine(erin) 1449789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the smaller pair look very elegant on you. I like your choice of top as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449781 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 22:47:04 +0000 texstyle 1449781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also leaning towards the smaller size, but admit it is hard to see on screen. The smaller seems more figure flattering to me but I SO like comfort so it would hinge on that for me just as much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449778 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 22:38:39 +0000 sarah 1449778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I think they look really good on you, and I like the smaller size. I'm wondering how you envision styling them. Will you ever "reveal" the waistband? Or does the waistband need to be hidden with them. What sort of footwear will you pair them with? I've looked at the same pair many times, but have stopped short of adding them to my shopping bag because I haven't been able to answer these questions for myself. Maybe I need to "ask Angie"... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449774 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 22:22:22 +0000 Anonymous 1449774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you! I kind of like the smaller size better even though it's shorter because the larger one looks a little bulkier around your waist and hips, and the shorter length doesn't bother me.<br />But I can't see in the photo if the smaller size is pulling, or too snug in the rear view and if it is and it's not too much trouble you could have the larger size narrowed?<br />Since I can't actually see anything wrong with them I'm saying the smaller size, and again, I think they look great! I really like this style on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449647 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:50:59 +0000 CocoLion 1449647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both with a slight preference for the bigger pair because I think they are supposed to be a bit slouchy. &nbsp;Speaking of which, the smaller pair look like they sit higher on your waist, can you push them down just a bit for that hint of slouch?</p> <p>If you keep the shorter, smaller pair, I would wear them with higher vamp footwear. &nbsp;With the right booties and just a sliver of ankle skin showing, they would be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449642 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:42:35 +0000 Suz 1449642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in these, and now I am excited because maybe you can help me style my own version, which I almost never wear. Mine are not ankle but full length on me-- maybe I should adjust them upwards, to show more ankle, now that I see yours! I haven't known what to do with mine, really. (Mine are the J. Crew Turner.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually like these with the blazer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449596 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 17:05:41 +0000 Karie 1449596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of the smaller pair but definitely prefer the length of the longer pair. Is this a tall size / do they come in a tall size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449574 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:14:26 +0000 AM 1449574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller. And great look with that bold stripe blouse and feminine shoes! And leather jacket definitely adds another level of sophistication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449572 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 16:10:50 +0000 Anonymous 1449572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller ones, and second the motion to see them with flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449561 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 15:50:57 +0000 Missey 1449561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the smaller pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449559 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 15:48:40 +0000 Jaime 1449559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also pick the smaller pair and want to see them with flats too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449554 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 15:32:53 +0000 Angie 1449554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the smaller pair Sveta, and they look AMAZING. Have you done the sit- down test to make sure they are comfy on the knee and calf?&nbsp;</p> <p>Cute with booties and ankle strap shoes too. Fun seeing those lovely ankles.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449548 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 15:25:39 +0000 crutcher 1449548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for smaller pair... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449520 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 14:25:11 +0000 marianna 1449520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I really like these on you, and I prefer the smaller pair. Somehow that length looks more flattering and intentional to my eye. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449517 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 14:21:15 +0000 lyn67 1449517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these are gorgeous for track pants DE LUXE, and I love the smaller size. Thus, a bit of more length would be icing on the cake-curious about Angie's verdict! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449500 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:27:47 +0000 Lucy 1449500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are not my fav style of pants, and yet I think these look GORGEOUS on you!&nbsp;<br />For what it's worth, I prefer the smaller ones, and I even like that they are a bit shorter - that flash of ankle looks great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449499 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:24:17 +0000 Daria 1449499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the fit of the smaller pair and the length of the larger one. I guess it's not really helpful.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449494 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:16:49 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1449494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the smaller pair on you too. &nbsp;Particularly in the side view pic where the difference is more apparent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449455 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 07:06:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1449455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of the smaller pair. I prefer the length of the larger pair, but on pants lengths, I am especially challenged, so I will be interested to see what others say. I can see Aida's and Jane's logic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449452 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 06:57:28 +0000 Jane 1449452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the smaller pair too. They make you look neater and more styled. I think it may be because your ankles are more visible. It's a great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449448 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 06:39:34 +0000 Ariadne 1449448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I love the smaller pair on you.</p> <p>I have these exact same pants sitting in my bedroom right now, tags still on, and am equally undecided! &nbsp;Mine are size 10. &nbsp;Will be following with interest... &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449445 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 06:27:41 +0000 Aida 1449445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the smaller, shorter pair for you. The other is neither here nor there length-wise. For slouch both work for me, so if they both feel comfortable there you could go either way; and again here I prefer the more tailored look for you. Great pants! Certainly more luxe than sporty :)</p> <p>Which pants are these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-these-drapey-pants#post-1449422 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 04:36:34 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1449422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the two I prefer the larger, maybe because they are a tad longer. Speaking of which, I'm wondering if they are long enough? I know it's a pain to find longer pants in this style, because that's one of the reasons why I don't have a pair, but still... </p>
