I'm with those suggesting you try a different shoe because the pant will fall differently then. I really like the look on you and think they could be excellent. But I also know the aggravation of pants that stretch out during the day and then don't feel fab -- I have had to donate a few pairs of. BR jeans for that reason. I really loved them initially and then, by tend of day...not so much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306827 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 18:38:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2306827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I really like these on you! And I like the top you're wearing with them. I can empathize with the fit issue you describe, though. I have a pair of balloon (or barrel?) jeans like that--I bought probably a size too big because of the waist, and right after the wash is the only time I really like the way they fit. I do think a little bit of waist definition can help, so in my case, I try to semi-tuck or wear a cropped boxy sweater that reveals the upper hip area.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306817 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 18:23:14 +0000 LJP 2306817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t mind these at all - and don’t think they look too big . I might try a more fitted tank or tshirt with them as they are styled in the stock photo. Then throw a shirt , jacket , whatever you want over top . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306816 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 18:22:01 +0000 Indigoprint 2306816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love cargos but find them tricky to style. Do you have a suitable 3rd piece to add? I noted the inspiration pic the model was using a 3rd layer.<br /> Love those booties with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306811 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:50:12 +0000 Jonesy 2306811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, these look fab! But you have to *feel* fab in them. Have you tried them with a sleeker shoe, e.g., a bootie? They look great with the sneaker, but a bootie might be fun too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306808 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:28:44 +0000 kkards 2306808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these, and I like how they fit. &nbsp;<div>Have you tried semi tucking so that there’s waist definition? Would that make it feel less big? also 2nd Angie’s call out on alternating the waist. &nbsp;I find that even a small nip in the waist &nbsp;can make a big difference in how I feel in something&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306803 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:12:33 +0000 Angie 2306803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER cute!</p> <p>Perfect on trend look in this roomy fit! And fun with the dressier sweater :)&nbsp;</p> <p>They look good, <b>Roberta.</b> I get that they FEEL too big though. Fabric that stretches out is soooo annoying :(</p> <p>Sooooo, I'm wearing watermelon velvet pants today, and had them taken in on the waist, seat, and hips a bit. It's made a big difference. They feel good and polished all day. Something to consider.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306799 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:49:29 +0000 kellygirl 2306799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the relaxed look of these and am kind of amazed at how good they look with high tops! You have styled them well! I have pants like these that I wear in summer with sandals and find that they are a cool alternative to jeans. IKWYM about the color though - I struggle with tan but they bookend your hair and look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306797 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:37:50 +0000 Glory 2306797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like these but can appreciate the stiffness of the fabric. I am a fan of the relaxed fit. I’m not sure about whether they would soften up. If not, I’m wondering about how they would look with a straight hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306795 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:28:50 +0000 Helena 2306795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roberta, I like these, but I do see your point that the fabric looks a touch stiff, which I think is a little at odds with the jogger style. I wonder though if they will soften up a little after a few washes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cargoutility-pants#post-2306794 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 16:07:43 +0000 Roberta 2306794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of cargo pants; the extra pockets, the sturdy fabrics, the functional look. So I bought these from Banana Republic Factory last fall. I've worn them a couple times, but I'm never quite happy with them. What Angie mentioned in the blog (about her first pair) really rang a bell with me. These feel a little baggy, the fabric's a little stiff, and I'm not sure about the color. Part of the problem is that BR tends to run a little narrow in the waist for me, so I bought these a size up from my usual. They fit great right out of the dryer, but then stretch out and feel a little sloppy. </p> <p>But I love the details. The zippers at the ankle, the pockets, there's even a horizontal seam on the backside of the pants. Every time I wear them, I wash them, so I'll have that straight out of the dryer feel. I'm also hoping that the fabric will soften up a little bit over time. What do you think? Sometimes it's hard for me to tell whether something is an actual mistake or not. </p>
