The others are great too. I’m really enjoying my denim alternatives so much this fall that I’m considering buying another pair of non-denim while the styles are favoring my preferences. </p> <p>I hear you on being between sizes with the waist fit as the deciding factor. I find that a lot of Anthro’s pants do stretch significantly with wear, but that waist can be unyielding. I say go with comfort — you can always alter them if needed but a too-tight waist is no bueno. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping/page/2#post-2343678 Wed, 08 Nov 2023 08:16:44 +0000 Jules 2343678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good!

Which some people may find "unflattering", but to me, it allows my waist to be defined but with ease in the hip and thigh. Finds show what I'm talking about.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343641 Tue, 07 Nov 2023 17:25:54 +0000 Angie 2343641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A seamless addition!

I will show the green cords in the larger size when they arrive.</div><div>Meanwhile, I have worn the pullover already, with this pair of pants, below in Finds--a perfect match.

When I try high waisted stuff on that bothers me in the hip/thigh area my kids (who generally have a decent eye and good feedback) literally do not see a problem...<br />I will be curious to see if the larger size is a better fit, as I am also interested in these pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343601 Tue, 07 Nov 2023 11:47:08 +0000 Staysfit 2343601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, I think I can see why you are worried about the fit of the green cords, although it may only be how you are standing. &nbsp;They don’t look too tight although I do see that they have some puckering or wrinkling (not sure of the correct word) drawing attention to your groin and thighs. &nbsp;Maybe that is a normal amount since you need to bend and move at the joints to walk and to sit however it looks like there is more than on the plum pair. What happens when you move? &nbsp;Are they comfy or snug? &nbsp;I would like to see comparison of a larger size.</p> <p>Nevertheless, I love the style and color. &nbsp;As always you have impeccable taste. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343586 Tue, 07 Nov 2023 03:47:07 +0000 MsMaven 2343586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pairs. My experience with corduroy has been that it usually stretches quite a bit with wear. I admit I haven't tried any of the more expensive brands lately. I've been looking for a nice pair of corduroy jeans. Bought some NYDJ and they have stretched both in the body and the waistband--more than I want to deal with. I wish I could give you some better advice.</p> <p>I do like the jeans and the whole outfit in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343474 Mon, 06 Nov 2023 14:18:57 +0000 RobinF 2343474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love both of these! I hate tight waists so I feel your indecision on that. Hopefully the next size works. I love the full length on others but so far not working on me. But I am still liking crops, especially with the wider legs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343352 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 20:56:05 +0000 Carol 2343352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, through and through! You look like a modern art collector. I think the fit of the green jeans looks right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343350 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 20:33:35 +0000 Angie 2343350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sharan</b>, YES!

I was interested in the Colette full-length version, but it doesn't seem to come in the green. And <b>Kelly</b>, I was thinking I might actually like the cropped version better anyway, for wet Seattle winter weather. </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343340 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 17:28:29 +0000 kellygirl 2343340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic cords! The boot cuts look so fresh with the bold print sweater. It's different but soooo cool. The cropped cords look like a great winter bottom too. I am always partial to boot cuts but not in the rain. I hope the next size up works - I think a fluid fit and comfy waist is always good! So great to see you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343339 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 17:28:20 +0000 Angie 2343339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!

I really like the olive boots, too, and I wear them a lot! But the color might be just a tad on the cool side for you, so maybe not a total miss. It was a shock when I saw them in person, because it is so different from the online photo. <br /></div><div>Oh, and I made the top in #3/4. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you, <b>Olive Green</b>. I appreciate that observation. I'm leaning a little more modern and streamlined these days with my style, I think. Or adding more of that vibe, anyway. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343325 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 15:35:00 +0000 Cardiff girl 2343325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both cords look a good fit on you but l feel your indecision.l am between sizes and trousers especially can be very tricky.The Sweater looks great with the cords,lam sure that you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343316 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 12:08:24 +0000 Olive Green 2343316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is Really Good on you.

Did you make the fantastic top in pic 1?<br />my experience is waistbands don’t give with time…I have seen some ingenious solutions to this, but wise to order a size up.<br /><div>I have the same boots in black…. I wanted to get the olive but thought the black would be more practical for my wardrobe….sighing very wistfully as I type this…..</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-shopping#post-2343310 Sun, 05 Nov 2023 11:50:13 +0000 Dee 2343310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this all looks terrific on you, love that groovy top with the wine pants, so chic. Great to try the next size up on the green just to asses the waist fit, make sure to try them seated too, that’s where I’ve made mistakes. </p>
