Perhaps a really nice neutral coloured, straight leg wool pant would be a good choice. They would defy trends and give you longevity, can be dressed up or down, they are smart, classic, comfortable and warm. It sounds like you have plenty of casual pants, so one smarter pair might be useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340642 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 02:18:57 +0000 Mo 1340642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess color is still in. &nbsp;4 slides in is the color&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-jeans-shop?campaign=0811augdenimguide1&amp;cm_sp=merch-_-wap_0811augdenimguide-_-catpromo1_guide">http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/wo.....p_0811augd</a>&nbsp; but overall it is&nbsp;more muted or subtle, as I was suggesting.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340638 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 02:13:47 +0000 Gigi 1340638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a pair of bootcut jeans? Or is it too sloppy during winter for you to wear those?</p> <p>At first,&nbsp;I was actually going to suggest a waxed pant, like Mo. I think they are still trending. The only thing is that those would be skinnies, and it sounds like you already have a lot of skinnies. So that's why I voted for bootcut.</p> <p>Oh, about the colors...I would go with a neutral color if you get coated skinnies. There are some out now in dark brown, and there is of course black. I think Citizens of Humanity has a burgundy one too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340592 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 00:47:16 +0000 Aida 1340592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me? I desperately want a pair of slouchy wool trousers with tapered hems! Also white wool culottes, but I'm going to call those shorts so that in this hypothetical situation I can get both ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340570 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 00:22:24 +0000 Sal 1340570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would start with your footwear and work backwards. &nbsp;For example if you mostly wear tall boots I would go for a renewed skinny or ponte pant style. &nbsp;If you wear ankle boots you have more options. &nbsp;I find the shoe/pants mixing important to getting my style right.</p> <p>I am planning to only add one pair of summer pants to my wardrobe and am also trying to decide between flowing ankle length, cigarette style ankle pants, culottes or maybe white jeans. &nbsp;I may cave and go with two!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340566 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 00:09:55 +0000 Mo 1340566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the above would be good choices . . . is this for work or just casual wear? &nbsp;For a business wardrobe I'd choose the pattern - and in wool trousers probably. &nbsp;For fun I stick with the deep red choice. &nbsp;I can see them with all the cuddly sweaters and boots and booties. &nbsp;No idea if it's still trending strongly or not honestly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340560 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 00:04:44 +0000 Quietgirl 1340560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, is color still "in" for pants? Would you go with more skinnies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340558 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 00:03:17 +0000 Quietgirl 1340558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! Forgot to mention climate. Last winter was brutal in the Northeast but generally the Atlantic moderates the temps. We have a true winter. Usually Jan/Feb temperatures hover around 32 degrees. So hate to think about that today!</p> <p>I like both ideas...patterned and track!</p> <p>Thanks Jay, Suz, Suja!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340557 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 00:02:45 +0000 Mo 1340557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might go for dark red -&nbsp;waxed skinnies or fine wale cords maybe. &nbsp;A subtle color, but a color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340547 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 23:45:02 +0000 Windchime 1340547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question, Quietgirl! I, too, like the suggestions from Suz and Suja for track or patterned pants. Also, would you have any use for leggings or ponte pants? I would like to eventually add all of those--track, patterned, and a black ponte pant to wear under tunic-length tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340527 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 23:27:23 +0000 rachylou 1340527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pattern idea too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340501 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:47:43 +0000 Angie 1340501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is your climate like?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340500 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:46:31 +0000 JayS 1340500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking along the same line as Suz..a modern track pant. They can be dressed up or down so are very versatile.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340495 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:44:01 +0000 Suz 1340495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! I like that idea, too, Suja. Maybe a pattern in a silhouette you are already comfortable with?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340484 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:26:40 +0000 Suja 1340484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try patterned pants.&nbsp; Maybe a check or a plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340481 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:20:40 +0000 Suz 1340481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would buy something like this.&nbsp;</p> <p>Reason? You have nothing like it. It's a true update. And it could be versatile. Assuming it fits and looks good, of course.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choose-only-one-pant#post-1340472 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:01:50 +0000 Quietgirl 1340472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been thinking about the capsule idea. &nbsp;I&nbsp;lead a quiet life and don't need many clothes. </p> <p>If you were going to buy ONE new pair of pants this season, what would YOU select? I own one pair of skinny white jeans, one pair BF jean and several pair of JCrew's Minnie. I have an older pair of slim (but not designer)&nbsp;jeans. I have a black wool pant that may need updating.</p> <p>After arriving here in May and seeing all the variety of outfits in&nbsp;WIW, my goal is to focus on new silhouettes.</p> <p><i> </i>Thanks, Fabbers!</p>
