They are getting a 3 inch shortening, so hopefully that helps to reduce the pyjama concern. &nbsp;As for the belt, it's my widest belt... I quite like the look of it but sometimes my taste is a little off base so I really do appreciate people's thoughts.&nbsp;<br />I am liking the breezy oversized look, I do tend to gravitate a little towards looser fit clothing but I have to be careful that I don't just look completely shapeless and dowdy. It's a fine line!! I certainly have worn things too loose in the past...<br />Thanks stylists </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911728 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 14:59:45 +0000 Anonymous 1911728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 4, 5, 6 (basically all the untucked looks). You have such a good frame for these oversized looks. I think the silhouette looks very breezy. When the elastic waistband is exposed, then the pants let me down a bit.</p> <p>I don’t mind the longer pant length but would trust Angie over me, that’s for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911707 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 12:46:54 +0000 Janet 1911707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is better — I like #1 — but not a fan of the belt. I still get a PJ vibe (lightweight and thin plus elastic waist and the length), but that’s me. I’m really sensitive to the PJ thing. I think if the length were either longer or significantly shorter, it would help that vibe. The length really hits that neither-here-nor-there spot where most pajama pants fall on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911685 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 10:48:19 +0000 LaPed 1911685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would hem them up and inch or two. Love #1 and #6! Not sold on the belt -- but possibly with the right long tunic, you could do a wide belt over the tunic to get some waist definition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911684 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 10:37:30 +0000 Cardiff girl 1911684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much better#1 and I like them with the belt as well.Angies right though it won’t stay put,could you put some belt loops on ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911671 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 08:00:13 +0000 Lesley 1911671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am figuring out wide-legs myself, but I like these looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911669 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 07:43:27 +0000 Gigi 1911669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, 4, and 6 best. I like the clean lines and the proportions. I think you wear these well!</p> <p>Nice try with the belt! When I suggested a belt, I was envisioning what I have seen called a corset belt, which is usually at least a couple of inches wide. That I think might do a better job of not sliding around. Or maybe an obi belt?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911667 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 07:21:01 +0000 CocoLion 1911667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you but feel they need to be shorter so they look more intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911666 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 07:14:58 +0000 Katerina 1911666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The styling in no 1 looks very nice. I agree with Angie and others about the lenght. Personally, I would also prefer a more structured wide leg trousers, but if this very casual, comfartable style appeals to you and you have use for them, go for it. It is important how you feel wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911598 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 01:33:18 +0000 Elizabeth P 1911598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them, great styling ideas! I didn’t care for the waistband showing in your first post (didn’t have time to comment ) My fav is #1, then #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911581 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 00:17:45 +0000 jussie 1911581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cins: They do look a little like clown pants. &nbsp;But something about them just appeals to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911580 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 00:17:08 +0000 Cins 1911580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, *look like* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911579 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 00:16:40 +0000 Cins 1911579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly and maybe it’s just me, but any kind of striped wide legs like like clown pants. Probably just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911578 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 00:16:29 +0000 jussie 1911578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, Angie: Yep I agree they need to be shortened a little for best effect. &nbsp;If my ankles and the very lowest part of the calf could be seen it would : 1) balance out the wideness of the pants, and, 2) allow the shoes to shine a little more. &nbsp;I shall take them to the alteration lady. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911576 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 00:09:10 +0000 Anonymous 1911576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve convinced me.

You can wear the wide leg look better than most but these ones are not structured enough. They would work better if shortened.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911562 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 23:34:03 +0000 jussie 1911562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessikams, Angie, Lisa p, Chiara, Kathie, Torontogirl: Thanks so much for your &nbsp;thoughtful feedback. &nbsp;These pants would definitely be for casual wear. &nbsp;Even though I am in a big city, people I associate with tend to dress very casually, athleisure is common, so I don't feel like this look is too casual or beachy for the environment. But of course sometimes my taste is a little unusual so I could be way off base. Yes Angie, I agree the belt styled like this (with no belt loops for gosh's sake) probably will move all over the place throughout the day. &nbsp;I'm pretty inexperienced with belts... but I like the contrast between the mustard leather and the crisp white pinstripes.<br />Lisa- you have high standards so when you say the styling is helping it makes me feel fab :).&nbsp;Chiara a cropped jacket would be SO USEFUL for me. &nbsp;Even a little cropped Cardi.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks- YLF is so great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911554 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 23:25:43 +0000 Jessikams 1911554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4, it looks very elegant in a low-effort way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911550 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 23:18:11 +0000 Angie 1911550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is best with a 2 to 3 inch hack on the length, to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>The belt worn like that won't stay put - I'm warning you :)</p> <p>#6 is my next fave.&nbsp;</p> <p>Still, I think you can get a nicer pair, <b>Jussie.&nbsp;</b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911546 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 23:03:48 +0000 Anonymous 1911546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #'s 1 and 5. &nbsp;This styling makes a big , big difference. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911543 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 22:56:59 +0000 Chiara 1911543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them, particularly #1. I wear wide leg trousers quite a lot, as they suit my shape. I find it often looks good to have some sort of waist marker with wide legs. So cropped tops or jackets which end at the waist band, or a basic, well-fitting (but not tight!) t-shirt tucked in eg the Uniqlo U t-shirt pictured. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911539 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 22:37:39 +0000 Kathie 1911539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #4. LaPed made a good point in the other thread, regarding where you plan to wear them. Is this for work, or more a weekend/beach look? The one deal-breaker for me, is that I think I’m seeing the pockets through the pants. But, if that doesn’t bother you, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911536 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 22:26:38 +0000 Helena 1911536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie, I'll be your enables - I love them on you and think they suit you perfectly. Thumbs up from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cos-widelegs-completely-re-jigged#post-1911535 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 22:24:55 +0000 jussie 1911535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I’ve been working on getting these Cos widelegs styled up into a wearable state. I really like these looks- but I understand as someone on here mentioned the other day “love is blind” lol.<br /> Honest feedback appreciated! Thanks so much for looking. </p>
