The pink zipper tassels (?) are drawing my eye. They could be removed, if you find them too much. Or, personally, I would wear the pants with a neutral top - the matchy pink top here is too much for me. These are just suggestions for you to consider, not expert opinions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoparachute-pants-from-90s#post-2306929 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 10:54:45 +0000 Tanya 2306929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a clever alteration! The pants look very cool and current, please wear them! They look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoparachute-pants-from-90s#post-2306919 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 05:36:55 +0000 JP 2306919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz and Slim cat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoparachute-pants-from-90s#post-2306916 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 05:20:50 +0000 slim cat 2306916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! I wish I kept my cargo pants from that time . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoparachute-pants-from-90s#post-2306915 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 05:14:47 +0000 Suz 2306915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! Definitely wear! The fabric does look really nice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoparachute-pants-from-90s#post-2306913 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 04:53:42 +0000 JP 2306913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I saw Janet's parachute pants post about a month ago, I remembered that I had kept a pair from late 90s, early 2000s - with a plan to turn it into a skirt or a bag because I loved the fabric, design, and the details of it - but I never did.  So, Janet inspired me to find the pants and find a way to fit me now.  It was a size XS - I was very little back then, about 52 kg (115 lbs) - and now 20+ lbs heavier. I knew it would be hard to find a matching fabric.  I ended up using the belt that came with it to add 3 inches to each side and I like how it turned out.  The only thing I don't like is that it is a low rise, only 8.5 inches, so, I have to wear my tops over the waistband to cover it.  I wore it on Saturday night.  My only concern was that it might look too teenager-me with all the pockets and details, I know I should wear it with basic tops and not too casual footwear to make it work, what do you think? wear it or not?<br /> And I'm planning on buying a dressy version.</p> <p>#6 is the original pants before alterations<br /> #3-5 after alterations </p>
