The Costco leggings are the least flattering in totality, but would look fine with a longer top.&nbsp; Hard to go wrong, I'd say.&nbsp; Love the colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1701059 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 03:10:23 +0000 Anonymous 1701059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dres best and think they look great at that length with the pointy toe loafers, which add a fashionable touch. In my neck of the woods just wearing burgundy jeans of any style would be fashion forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1701058 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 03:09:59 +0000 Anonymous 1701058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes- I know exactly what you mean about hot feet . I find a slightly longer than ankle length lets me wear jeans like this with any shoe. But when it's a straight leg jean, length gets tricky . A narrower leg opening lets you play with the hem - scrunching , folding under etc....can't do that with a straight leg . Again , what do I know? I don't have the eye for classic/preppy looks - so that's why I favour a cleaner skinny leg. And lord knows you can wear it with your fantastic figure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1701045 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 02:58:04 +0000 carter 1701045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap, you bring up an excellent point. I've been focusing on the tucking issue, but I need to consider how to finish the outfit to be current. I think the prevailing thought is to roll the Dres and wear with booties. That is just so not likely to happen with me. One, I like things more streamlined than a roll, and two, all the stars have to align for me to wear booties: it has to be really cold (can't stand hot feet), I have to be going out in the cold, and I have to be going somewhere it is appropriate to wear jeans. Those three things only came together twice last year. So...is there a hem length/regular shoe combination that works with this style of pant in a current way?</p> <p>All thoughts welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1701044 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 02:57:13 +0000 Amy 1701044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look really good to me, so I'm going to be no help at all, lol.</p> <p>You can't go wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1701022 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 02:02:41 +0000 crazyone 1701022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lisap, I think it's funny that you say the skinnier fit is more fashionable--I can see why you say that, but I am influenced by being in a college town where the dominant silhouette is skinny skinny skinny, whether in denim or leggings. &nbsp;To my eye, a more relaxed fit seems more fashion-forward since it's not the basic look I see around me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1701018 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 02:00:16 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1701018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good in all of these, Carter. Thanks for posting the Paiges. I like the Dre only marginally better, and thus I would pick the Paiges because that wrinkling would bug me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700976 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 01:10:54 +0000 Staysfit 1700976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I am struggling here. I like all of them, and to be honest I don't think you have a wrong choice. I would use the Kondo method and pick the pair that brings you the most joy!

Reading all of the other comments , and see I am in the minority . Also didn't pay attention to your wrinkling comment, but don't see this on my monitor. &nbsp;I often think our pics show up better when we look at them as if on our collective "blog" pages instead of just off of the post. &nbsp;Which I never do.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700907 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 23:37:46 +0000 Anonymous 1700907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without being influenced by others' comments, I like the Paiges on you best. &nbsp;I prefer the narrower bottom - and think they are ultra-flattering on you. &nbsp;Now that said, the first pair fit you equally well, and are also flattering - it's just the leg opening that looks more "traditional" and less fashiony. To me, burgundy can look preppy and traditional and to make it look modern and new, it needs to be in a silhouette that is also more modern. Unless of course none of that matters to you ;)</p> <p>Can't really see much of the detail of the Costco pants - but funny the things that happen on the way to the seafood counter. &nbsp;I usually get usurped by DH throwing in random electronics and game controllers when I'm not looking. &nbsp;"Oh the one I had isn't working any more". &nbsp;As if I would know the difference or even know he had one to begin with. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700895 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 23:16:09 +0000 rachylou 1700895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Dres.

But I may be biased because I have a pair and love them. The wrinkles don't show much when you have them on and for me, they add something a bit different.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700802 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 20:33:47 +0000 Anonymous 1700802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of them. They are equivalent as far as looks go. So I'd focus on which ones you like the best, and as Anne points out, versatility.<br />I like the colour of the Paiges best, and the non-wrinkliness, but it's hard to know which ones feel the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700790 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 19:58:58 +0000 MsMaven 1700790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the Paige because the Dre was already out in my size when I made the decision. I have two other pairs of the Paige Verdugo, but they are in a heavier fabric. I like them. I tried on the Paige version and yes they are more like leggings, which I usually stay away from. I'm glad I was forewarned on the fabric. These fit well and are comfortable, so I'm probably going to keep them, but I suspect with a longer top. </p> <p>After all that, I think you look fabulous in the Dre. You look good in both, but the first ones look a bit better on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700788 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 19:56:33 +0000 Anonymous 1700788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great, so I'd focus on versatility. Hands down, I think the Dre's are the clear winner. As you said, you wouldn't feel comfortable tucking with the Paige jeans, so that limits what you do with them. Throw in the inexpensive Costco as your leggings look and you're set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700758 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 18:57:57 +0000 carter 1700758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the feedback. I too am leaning toward the Dre + Costco solution.</p> <p>Suz, I'll be very interested in what you think of the wrinkling. Did you order your regular size, or did you size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700694 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 17:11:15 +0000 Susie 1700694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wish I looked as good as you in jeans! I think they are all flattering. I actually really like the Costco pants for the sleek leg line. And I slightly prefer the color of the Paige if I am seeing the them accurately.</p> <p>It does sound like the Dre might be best if you want a true jeans fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700681 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 16:39:11 +0000 Suz 1700681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Dres sound like your best bet, given how you like to wear them (though truly, you look fantastic in them all). But I hear you on that wrinkling and am feeling a bit worried about it on my own account (since I have also ordered and also find that kind of thing bothersome for some reason -- it is one reason I'm not nuts about khakis.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700663 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 15:57:42 +0000 Anonymous 1700663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter - this is truly tough, and I went through all the pics several times. The truth is you look fantastic in all of them. </p> <p>The Dres fit the most like a regular jean/pant, especially from the back. I have a pair of these I'm deciding on, and I really like them and find them very comfortable. If you like to roll jeans at all, this pair will allow some control for length with any potential bootie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700662 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 15:53:54 +0000 Cerinda 1700662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, the Dre's: <i>quite</i> flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700658 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 15:47:11 +0000 crazyone 1700658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Traci--I like the extra ease in the calves of the Dres over the Paiges. &nbsp;More flattering, and more versatile--they are pants, after all. &nbsp;</p> <p>Seems like the Rag &amp; Bone Dres are more of a true cotton pant than a jean (re: wrinking).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700652 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 15:39:48 +0000 carter 1700652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Traci, the Costco leggings are also burgundy.&nbsp; Attaching a pic of all three below. The order is: Dre, Paige, Costco.</p> <p>Note that you can see the wrinkles in the Dre that I mentioned in my other thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-burgundy-bottoms-dre-v-paige-v-costco#post-1700649 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 15:33:02 +0000 Traci 1700649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for Dres + Costco. I like the tiny bit of extra ease in the Dres, especially in the calf area. They have a better balance to me.</p> <p>Are the Costco pants also burgundy? We need a giant block of cheese, so maybe I'll head there this afternoon. </p>
