I try on zillions of trousers and can't stand most of them, but&nbsp; &nbsp;these work from all angles. So that's the biggest hurdle right there, 'cause if you look good in them then you'll think of ways to wear them.<br />So if it's a color you will use, and certainly this adds a great alternative to the black (or even navy) pants option, keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right/page/2#post-1046902 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 20:57:09 +0000 Beth Ann 1046902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you're keeping!&nbsp; I have a pair of cobalt jeans that I love.&nbsp; I find them very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046799 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:06:51 +0000 Lisa 1046799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep.&nbsp; I have a pair of cobalt jeans and they are quite versatile.&nbsp; And fun to wear on dreary days.&nbsp; These are going to look great with your white/black striped top from NAS.&nbsp; I wear mine with my cobalt jeans all the time.</p> </p> <p>Edit to add: here is my striped top and cobalt jeans. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-50" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-50</a></p> </p> <p>And here I wore cobalt with burgundy.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tigers-and-eagles" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....and-eagles</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046764 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 17:03:38 +0000 Sveta 1046764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your help.<br />The tags are off and they are waiting for the final steam. It is a bit too warm for them this week but I am sure this almost-summer weather would not last long in my neck of woods and I will be able to debut them very soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046630 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:41:46 +0000 Thistle 1046630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!&nbsp; I love that color for you!&nbsp; Pre-YLF, I would have thought the trousers too long.

A positively gorgeous addition to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046614 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:27:37 +0000 Janet 1046614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not even looking at the other responses. Keep! I adore the color, and the fit is fantastic on you. I relate to the difficulty you have in finding perfect trousers, and these look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046603 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:13:19 +0000 Susie 1046603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for keep! The fit is perfect, the color is fab and the fabric is perfect for your climate. So there you go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046601 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:09:38 +0000 Vix 1046601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta --</p> <p>Hey, you're using to wearing bright/light trousers so this is just a little hop, not a leap! </p> <p>They are so very flattering (there's that commitment to great-fitting pants again)&nbsp;and as you say practical for your climate and closet. Will be fun to see them reinvented with a taper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046403 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 02:10:39 +0000 Jaime 1046403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that you must keep - gorgeous color and excellent fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046363 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 00:41:48 +0000 Deborah 1046363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, the fit and colour is really beautiful. Please keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046305 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 22:25:41 +0000 Liz A. 1046305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't even look all that electric to me. &nbsp;Just a nice bright blue that mixes well with your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046299 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 22:22:41 +0000 MsLuna 1046299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That fit is amazing! I'd say keep it! Also, from what I've seen of your WIW's you wear a lot of neutrals and many of them (navy, black, ivory to name a few) will go with the cobalt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046281 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:58:06 +0000 Sveta 1046281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, they are regular length which is 33" and just long enough for me to wear with 2" heel. There are at least 1.5" to let out if you are thinking about them! </p> <p>As for that deck - yes, it is nice and I will enjoy it if it will not kill me first! :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046279 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:55:31 +0000 Sveta 1046279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, one word about these cobalt pants: they are WARMER than the navy. Much heavier fabric - flannel - like - so should be much better for our winters.<br />Yep, navy fit me really strange, like there is too much fabric on the butt and it bags out. Plaid is a different fabric though - again not as thin as navy and it has a poly in it&nbsp;- and they also run a bit smaller in the fit - as well as cobalt ones. Interestingly enough my black lightweight wool Martins I got last spring are the same weight and supposedly the same cut as the navy &nbsp;but they do not bag the way the navy do. Weird! <br />As for the Pleione blouse - it has to be in your comfort zone because it is a&nbsp; strong statement item. This poly is not bad actually, the weight is pretty substantial and it is OK for a fun trendy item I guess. On the other hand it is bold and may feel overwhelming for you. It did not LOOK overwhelming but it is what you FEEL which counts. But I am glad I got the red one because it does add variety for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046274 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:52:12 +0000 Nicole D 1046274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are stunning! &nbsp;You will wear those at least 3 seasons (maybe not in height of summer). &nbsp;Are they tall length? &nbsp;Also, nice DECK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046273 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:46:04 +0000 Suz 1046273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, that's a great idea (to wear as is now and taper later.) Two, two, two pants in one!</p> <p>So the navy Martins fit you differently than the checked ones, then? That is so interesting. I like the fit of the navy Martins but have not yet committed to keeping them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am quite tempted by these bright blue trousers myself! You are a very bad influence on me. Then again, I have been ordering and sending back (or holding without cutting tags) like a mad woman, so...</p> <p>I sent back the Pleione blouse. I wasn't wearing it. It was the fabric plus the bold contrast that got to me. I decided I really want a crossover blouse in that style but not that colour and preferably silk, although if it is poly that is okay, as long as it is a colour and pattern more in my comfort zone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046271 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:40:00 +0000 Adelfa 1046271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great rear view! I find this to be a really useful color addition to a black/gray/white wardrobe. It punches up all of the cool neutrals (and I wore mine with navy today, see my WIW) but in a slightly more restrained way than red or hot pink or many other brights. It's like a bright without wearing a bright, partly because it plays so well with other colors.</p> <p>Your heart was speaking to you, Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046270 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:39:45 +0000 Sveta 1046270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the enabling.<br />Suz, plaid trousers STAY! No power in the world can&nbsp;make me to part with them! :-)<br />Angie, burgundy, orange and purple - I am taking notes!<br />Vildy, thanks for color suggestion too!<br />kkards, Lyn, pastrygirl -&nbsp; I like them as is too but the problem is that my 2 pairs of wider leg trousers AND&nbsp;bootcut jeans do not get much wear because of the weather / heel height restriction so I am afraid those won't get it either. Also they are&nbsp;heavier in weight and all wool so they would be perfect to wear in the dead of winter - and no trouser cut can cut it for our Canadian winters for me!<br />Anyway I decided to wear them as&nbsp;is for now until the snow comes and see how it goes - I can always taper them&nbsp;later,&nbsp;right?<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046263 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:29:44 +0000 pastrygirl 1046263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them. I also really like the silhouette as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046260 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 21:28:01 +0000 Lyn D. 1046260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these Sveta!<br />Couldn't you also wear them in warmer/drier weather? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046208 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:07:59 +0000 kkards 1046208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these pants. I know you get a lot of winter weather, but can I put a vote in for not tapering? One of the things I like about these pants is the silhouette. ( I'll still like them tapered, but I like the change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046206 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:05:00 +0000 Vildy 1046206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also with light grey? And dark saddle tan? Mahogany/raisin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-these-trousers-is-a-crazy-idea-right#post-1046202 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:01:14 +0000 Sara L. 1046202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look really good on you. &nbsp;I think more color combinations might come to you the more you wear them and get used to the color. &nbsp; </p>
