She seemed bemused, we’ll see what she can do...<br /> Suntiger, in a pinch, indeed, lace pants can be insulated with tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1973282 Sat, 10 Nov 2018 03:21:45 +0000 Carla 1973282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A master class in layering.

I know you said the lace pants were for warm weather, but would they work with tights under and boots for dressier winter events? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1973263 Sat, 10 Nov 2018 01:17:56 +0000 Lynn 1973263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessikams- technically you have to drop the rise @ the waistband but I think just lowering the crotch curve might work on this particular pair of pants. Worth trying anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1973246 Sat, 10 Nov 2018 00:29:48 +0000 Jessikams 1973246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I agree, the harsh contrast of black/dark green/white feels slightly stronger than I prefer. But it was fun to really let the white elements pop.</p> <p>Lyn67 and Lynn, aren’t the pants wonderful? I love them in theory but in reality: OUCH. Perhaps my tailor can help-I didn’t realize a rise could be altered, so thanks for the education.</p> <p>Angie, as always, thanks for your instruction and example on how to include white and cream in outfits!</p> <p>LaPed, the vest is just Uniqlo! I bought it to make my winter coat warmer, but ended up using it all the time for all sorts of outfits. I have a version with sleeves too. They’re billed as “packable for travel” but they’re really not warm enough on their own— but fab for layering under coats. And the Zara patent purple OxfORdS, I know, they make me all googly-eyed with glee but I haven’t really figured out how to wear them yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1973127 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 16:34:06 +0000 Cardiff girl 1973127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a really creative dresser,it’s great to see.#1 is my fav there’s a 60s vibe with modern twist to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1973124 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 16:30:43 +0000 Lynn 1973124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great. Personally I like 2 best but that is my style. &nbsp;The pants in 8 are really cool. They would be wonderful with a simple body con top I would think. &nbsp;BTW I think you could save the pants in 8 if you want to. You can lower the rise by simply sewing the crotch seam lower in the area between where the front and back crotch curves start. If you try it yourself- don't go overboard 1/4" can make a big difference. But it might not be the rise at all- it might be that the shape of the front crotch seam is too shallow. Try pinning a tuck out right where the front curve starts and see if it feels better (you are actually making more room by scooping the curve. Both would be easy fixes for a seamstress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1973069 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 14:45:03 +0000 LaPed 1973069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 2/3 -- the necklace and oxfords look great together!&nbsp;</p> <p>You are such a layering pro. Where do you even find a long, quilted puffy vest?!</p> <p>I think 8/9 has a lot of potential; shame the pants don't fit comfortably because they look awesome. Coveting those patent oxfords, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1973059 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 14:31:27 +0000 Angie 1973059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How FUN to see your creative looks, Jessikams. They all work marvelously well, and #1 is my KILLER fave.

Nr 1 is outstanding, too! Love the white drop earings bookending the white boots in the all black (but not al all blah!!!) outfit!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1972987 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 12:37:19 +0000 Anonymous 1972987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are wonderful. You use layering very effectively! I love the blue outfit. All the layers of blue are very harmonious.<br /> I also love the first black and white outfit. To me, these colours look a bit harsh on you, but depending on the context this would be a perfect outfit.</p> <p>The club Monaco pants are striking. At first glance, the outfit seemed very avant garde. I didn’t think it looked terrible. I do see on closer inspection that the rise of the pants is a bit short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-outfits#post-1972948 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 07:48:41 +0000 Jane 1972948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really good layers.

These pants work best in summer as they are comfy elastic waist and they don’t show sweat)</p> <p>4-7 denim dress over black-based leopard print leggings</p> <p>8-9 wide silky pants with waist tie, with a COS exuberant-sleeve sweater (wow this outfit looks terrible, like some kind of costume. And these pants just do not fit in the rise— another pricey Club Monaco mistake)</p> <p>What I learned:<br /> I have fewer black pants than I thought. I guess I’ve done a good job of culling the old corporate pairs. If I add more, I would add black or gray jeans rather than slacks.</p> <p>Goodbye to the ill-fitting wide pants with tie. Moving on! </p>
