I've recovered too...i'm a Libra, so I am kind of sensitive. :)<br /> You have given me permission (or I almost want to say instructions) to go dig through my closet and get rid of some old pants/suits that I didn't realize had gone out of style...<br /> It's one of those "don't ask if you really don't want to know the answers" situation, and I know I'll be happier for it! So thanks again, YLF for getting me out of the '80s and '90s!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128101 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:15:31 +0000 Louise 128101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahha thanks Julie x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128099 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:09:41 +0000 RoseandJoan 128099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here you go Louise, I think I have heard them called carrot trousers as well<br /> <a href="http://www.elleuk.com/starstyle/celebrity-trends/(section)/everyone-s-wearing-peg-leg-trousers" rel="nofollow">http://www.elleuk.com/starstyl.....g-trousers</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128096 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:05:37 +0000 Louise 128096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the definition of peg leg trousers? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128057 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:24:25 +0000 Angie 128057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look pretty, Julie. Hmmm. I'm deciding here.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128050 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:58:58 +0000 RoseandJoan 128050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, have you seen these ones on sale at ASOS. I really like them but alas they are dry clean only. The catwalk view gives the true colour and limits the shine factor (no big shiny bottom for me)<br /> <a href="http://www.asos.com/French-Connection/French-Connection-Peg-Leg-Trousers/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=921499&#038;cid=5533&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=20&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Green" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/French-Con.....;clr=Green</a><br /> I love the idea of a peg leg, pleats and dressy Khaki all in one trouser.</p> <p>SHS, you have fabulous style but your wardrobe will find a better more modern pair of pleated trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128040 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:28:54 +0000 Angie 128040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've recovered! I would never do that SHS, so no worries. </p> <p>I must also apologize. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I am just hyper sensitive to pant lengths (both too short and too long). Onto something better for lovely you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128022 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 03:34:01 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 128022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenny. If I were more organized, I would take pictures BEFORE I went out into public. Angie, please don't use me as a FASHION DON'T! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128016 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 03:11:18 +0000 JennyK (NC) 128016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's ok - you'll recover! Ditch those pants and pair that jacket with a knee-length skirt with some color and show us that. You have a great figure - no need to hide it in pleated pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128013 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:55:08 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 128013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128010 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:50:02 +0000 Angie 128010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eyes!!!! The length of those pants are killing me :0(</p> <p>Funky soft pleated pants with paper bag waist bands and tapered legs are HOT off the runway press and hip, hip, hip. I REALLY want a pair but all the styles I've tried on so far are too short. </p> <p>That being said, the look I am speaking of is not to be confused with the 80's and 90's looks which are totally dated. I'm afraid SHS, your pants are very dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128008 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:39:27 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 128008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping you wouldn't notice the length!! :-0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128006 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:34:49 +0000 Maya 128006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only like pleated pants when they are worn in a funky, artsy, hip sort of way...and on the right body type of course.</p> <p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&#038;itemCount=10&#038;startValue=1&#038;selectedProductColor=&#038;sortby=&#038;id=17366261&#038;parentid=W_APP_PANTS&#038;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&#038;navCount=21&#038;navAction=poppushpush&#038;color=&#038;pushId=W_APP_PANTS&#038;popId=WOMENS_APPAREL&#038;prepushId=&#038;selectedProductSize=" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....oductSize=</a></p> <p>But the ones you are wearing don't do it for me. I don't think pleats are dressy, they are just poofy. To me it is the fabric and drape of the pants that determine the dressiness.</p> <p>They also look short for those shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128005 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:29:51 +0000 Misia 128005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tapered and pleated trousers look really dated to me, I think they sabotage your look, you can do better to show of your figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-still-wear-pleated-pants#post-128002 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:09:02 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 128002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this might be a weird question, but are pleated wool dress pants OK to wear? Or is everything flat fronted now? </p> <p>I know they are not the most flattering look, but it just seems they are a bit more dressy. But I wore this today - was I completely dated or can we still wear them?</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44383234@N08/4383077563/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....383077563/</a> </p>
