Usually I order online but I had stopped by to return something and just thought I'd give these a go and loved them right away.

Not like work in the garden dirty, but you know, sitting on a less than clean bench, petting someone's outside dogs and stuff like that. Plus, I often cook 3 times a day and aprons (any additional layer) in the Texas heat are not a favorite item.So I have to really decide if they are worth it or not.</p> <p>With my recent additions I think I'm pretty set on non-jean bottoms as I do have a pair of navy linen pants from last year, a couple of very casual BF chinos (maybe a little too slouchy),&nbsp; as well as the 2 additions of the Loft pants, and maybe the white EFs and the skort of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1775214 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 19:55:36 +0000 Sal 1775214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those first pants TexStyle and it sounds like they are working out well for you. &nbsp;It will be interesting to see how you get on with the white, I like having a pair of white pants but I sometimes have to make myself wear them.</p> <p>I have five pairs of non-jeans pants and they are all super useful, although I like some more than others.<br />- Blue linen Uniqlo crops<br />- black and white cotton joggers (boho)<br />- white crops<br />- black crops<br />- black uniqlo joggers</p> <p>The white and the boho pants are true summer pants (November-March or April), the blue crops might be more like September - April and the black ones both get worn all year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1775186 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 19:02:05 +0000 Style Fan 1775186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of the Loft pants.&nbsp; Thank you for the review.&nbsp; I am always looking for something to wear in the summer.&nbsp; I was thinking of a skort.&nbsp; Lululemon sometimes has them.&nbsp;&nbsp; They are more gear looking but fine for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1775155 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 17:36:14 +0000 texstyle 1775155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RobinF - I swore off any pants with pleats years ago but I notice that the drapey pant seems to be popular again. This is why I like the Loft version - no pleats and they fit and feel more like regular pants (to me) than like joggers.&nbsp; They are roomy on me but not so big as to feel awkward or bulky. I can sit cross legged in them and feel okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1775150 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 17:31:03 +0000 RobinF 1775150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these!

I have purchased other items in that line as well but they were longish tunics that didn't really end up working for me - too much material for my frame. The pants though I'd highly recommend!&nbsp; I usually wear 8-10 and bought a M which is just slightly over sized on me.</p> <p>Angie - thanks for the additional rec's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1773285 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 13:55:04 +0000 Angie 1773285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thought you might like these too - Draped Joggers:&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1773187 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 02:06:45 +0000 AM 1773187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The olive pants and the skirt seem like good options.

I have been wearing skorts for casual wear quite a bit this summer. As you say, you can wear them with no danger of flashing. They are less fitted (on me) than shorts. I have 2 gear versions and these 2 from athleta (which are a little less gear like). The green skort wrinkles less than the grey skort but doesn't feel as nice on the skin as the grey skort. I suspect the green is more synthetic. I have also been trying out these pull on skirts. A bit longer than the skorts but they have a nice soft feel on the skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1772275 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 01:31:56 +0000 Anonymous 1772275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missed you. &nbsp;Hope you are doing well. &nbsp;Will catch up when you are free. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1772208 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 21:48:17 +0000 texstyle 1772208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, it's still end of year for our business - meaning lots of tax stuff to handle so I haven't had as much free time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1772201 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 21:05:01 +0000 Sarah 1772201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very similar looking skort that I wear all the time for my work at home and casual life with young kids.

It "feels" like shorts when you put it on but looks just a little bit nicer. I'm hoping the BR pants will be an option.</p> <p>Suz- the BR pants hopefully are light enough in this fabric otherwise you are right, I won't wear them. I have a few pair of light weight jeans that I wear in spring and early fall. And I do wear denim cut off shorts in summer. I've grown pretty used to the heat so as long as it's not going to be over 85 or so I can get away with jeans if I won't be out walking a lot during the heat of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1772179 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:15:42 +0000 Suz 1772179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Non denim bottoms sound like a really smart idea for your climate for sure! I'm amazed you wear denim at all, to tell you the truth. At least outdoors. It might be bearable with AC. I like the Loft pants a lot. I'll bet they look great on you. I have a pair of the Sloans in a different fabrication and I like them, although mine are a bit on the snug side at the moment. &nbsp;The ones I have are like a fairly heavy ponte -- they'd be too warm for you, I would think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1772173 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:10:10 +0000 Anonymous 1772173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi TexStyle.&nbsp; This is&nbsp; a good idea.&nbsp; I especially like the Banana Republic pants.&nbsp;&nbsp;I like the idea of the skirt, but doubt I would wear anything like it.&nbsp; Do you think you would be inclined to wear a skirt?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-non-jeans-casual-wear-bottoms#post-1772166 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 17:43:19 +0000 texstyle 1772166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been considering more casual non-jeans bottoms for my work at home lifestyle and found these items to be contenders. I notice that I don't really wear some of my jeans other than in dead winter because some of them are quite heavy to wear any other time of year. Not to mention I get bored wearing jeans all the time.So, that led me to look for some non-shorts, non-jeans options. </p> <p>The loft olive pants I have already purchased, they are super soft and flattering.The BR pants are a maybe I don't have them yet. Both seem to be great for comfort, easy care and similar to jeans without being constricting or too thick for my warm climate. The skort is also a maybe - I have not worn it yet and am trying to decide if I should keep it or not. It fits well and looks fine but it is a little prone to wrinkles and the material is synthetic which is usually not my choice.&nbsp; I love that I could wear a skirt with no fear of flashing - something I just don't tolerate at all.&nbsp; </p> <p>I almost forgot one other item that I'm considering is a pair of white twill EF pants. Much more expensive than I usually care for, but the reviews are tempting.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.garnethill.com/eileen-fisher-stretch-twill-slim-pants/womens-fashion/eileen-fisher-clothing/301432?&amp;defattribvalue=main">http://www.garnethill.com/eile.....value=main</a></p> <p>Just sharing some thoughts. </p> <p>ETA: So I've worn the loft pants at least 3 times already and LOVE them. They are soft, mostly cotton, wash extremely well (I only dry for a few mins. on delicate, then let air dry to finish and they don't even wrinkle!). I like them so much I ordered another pair in blue. Yay for non-jean bottoms! I should add that they are not as tight at the ankle as they look on the model.</p> <p>Also, the EF white twill pants are nice. I'm on the fence due to the price however. I've never paid that much for a pair of pants. They fit well, look good and all but the price makes me wonder if I can find something similar for less than half.&nbsp; I have tried a few others already and they were mostly too thick for my warm climate.</p> <p>The BR pants fit well and looked great but they are just too thick for my climate so back they go!</p>
