The pants look really great on you. Of course you should keep them. Duh..</p> <p>2. Black v dark blue - I’m always hoping for dark blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923176 Sun, 27 May 2018 23:53:19 +0000 Elizabeth P 1923176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score!&nbsp; These look great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923175 Sun, 27 May 2018 23:49:44 +0000 unfrumped 1923175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like black to me! Plus, they look great— get them into rotation!</p> <p>I agree that having black items match isn’t a big goal when one is printed, and also when fabrics are so different, and also there’s no intent appearing to be a “ suit”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923163 Sun, 27 May 2018 22:54:08 +0000 Janet 1923163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La P, bet I’m more terrified of patterned pants than you guys are, but I am always attracted to them and occasionally cave. This particular pair must be magical — I credit the side stripe for being slimming. I’m glad these work, and I look forward to wearing them again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923162 Sun, 27 May 2018 22:42:16 +0000 LaPed 1923162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, like Lisa I'm largely terrified of patterned pants (or used to be, but YLF is helping me overcome that!). I agree that these look like a "washed" black but it's a photo so who knows. They do look great -- pattern reminds me of a composition notebook! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923145 Sun, 27 May 2018 21:37:45 +0000 Sal 1923145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and the styling too.</p> <p>That's how I mostly do my shopping - when driving home from hardware store call into favourite thrift shop, when at the bank go to favourite boutique etc ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923137 Sun, 27 May 2018 21:12:20 +0000 Suz 1923137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous pants!

How can I own something for years and not know what color it is???</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback, ladies! I do like these. I wish they had a little stretch, but they are wearable. There is a small rip along the side seam at the pocket that I want to have repaired, but then I will wear them again. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923129 Sun, 27 May 2018 20:47:35 +0000 MsMaven 1923129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely black--a soft dusty black, but I see no blue.

I think the need to match undertones of black items is less important when one item is patterned. I am picky about black clothing and I think this combination is perfect. Also, the silver shoes are great for lightening the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923076 Sun, 27 May 2018 18:23:57 +0000 Liz 1923076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>They're great. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And I agree that if you, an artist with an eye for color, are having a hard time nailing down what color it is ...you get to do whatever you want. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923075 Sun, 27 May 2018 18:23:50 +0000 SW Ann 1923075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love these pants--they look great with the black top.

I am very particular about blacks matching too - but this works somehow . I’m petrified of printed pants - I’m actually petrified of a lot of clothes , I just realized - but these are great ! I do love a good side stripe . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blackvery-dark-blue-confusion#post-1923070 Sun, 27 May 2018 18:09:30 +0000 Janet 1923070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m taking a break from planning bathroom renovation projects to go through my long-neglected holding zone. I pulled out these pants from about 5 or so years ago (from Sundance) expecting them to be too tight, but surprisingly they are wearable. I think I’ve had them tucked away for three years! So I decided to try to figure out how to style them for 2018. </p> <p>Well, for some reason I’ve always thought these were very dark navy with cream, and I found them rather hard to pair with tops. They are a busy print (really unusual for me to wear patterned pants, I know!) so I tend to want to keep it really simple and wear them with a solid color top in the print. Well, I have zero cream or navy solid tops anymore, so that idea is out. </p> <p>But today I took a closer look and tried on black tops with these pants, and I think the pants may actually be black?? A soft and maybe cool black, but black nonetheless. I’m a little weird about having to have my black tones match, but is this working? I think so, but I thought I’d get the YLF eyes on this. Closeups in 2 and 3 show two different black tops next to the pants. </p> <p>Part of me says if it’s that hard to tell what color the darn pants are, I get to say they are black if I want to! </p> <p>I’m tempted to keep these and wear. Whatcha think? </p> <p>Ignore my total lack of attention to hair or face — I haven’t set foot out of the house yet today! </p>
