I have a tough time with fit at Boden that I try to hold out for that promo. I see it much less often than I used to though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835317 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:54:59 +0000 Christina F. 1835317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About the Boden recommendation above - they have a US website. Returns aren't free but are not more difficult than other mail returns. I don't have too many Boden pants but their overall quality as a brand is very good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835299 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:51:09 +0000 Traci 1835299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if they're dressy enough, but the Old Navy Pixie pants have a slimmer leg and more room in the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835291 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:10:59 +0000 Susie 1835291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are going to Nordstrom, you might want to try pants from Classiques Entier (sp?). I have a lovely pair of black dress pants from last year's NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835286 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 11:53:39 +0000 Sarah 1835286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! Thanks so much! I am heading into the big city to make some Nordstrom returns today, so I think a stop at BR is in order. I will look into the other suggestions as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835265 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 10:13:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 1835265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Sarah! No advice as I am from NZ and a short pear/apple. Lots of wonderful North American women who can help. Hope you have fun here:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835252 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 07:42:52 +0000 Jane 1835252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fan of Boden jeans if that helps at all. Good colours, lots of different cuts. They also do some great trousers, I think they are called Richmond. I guess though it will be a pain though to ship them to US and then return them. That said, I buy clothes from J Crew who have excellent shipping and return facilities. Good luck with your search.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835237 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 05:29:15 +0000 fathenry 1835237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a rectangle also. +1 on the BR Sloan fits and also the WHBM pants and jeans have fit well. Theory dress pants also work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835190 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 01:08:38 +0000 Susie 1835190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the BR recommendation. My fit issues are similar to yours and the Sloan fit works well because the leg is a slim cut. And I've had luck with their trouser styles too. </p> <p>I didn't try any of their dress styles recently but WHBM might work. You may need to size down there. </p> <p>I have 2 pairs (black and dark green) of Anthro's side zip slim pants that have been workhorses for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835179 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 00:13:11 +0000 K. Period. 1835179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a rectangle too. &nbsp;I like JCrew's pants if you are looking for wool. However, if ponte will work for you, the Banana Republic Sloan fit has been my go-to for years now. &nbsp;I have them in four colors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-pants-for-rectangleapple#post-1835177 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 00:01:53 +0000 Sarah 1835177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies (and gentlemen, if you are out there), </p> <p>This is my first post! I am a generally rectangle shaped lawyer looking for dress pants, preferably ankle length. Black is great but other colors would be awesome too. </p> <p>Because of my shape, pants that fit in my waist bag around my hips or fit my hips and are tight in the waist. </p> <p>I was wondering if any of you had any recommended brands or pants styles in particular that fit this body type. I had found a pair from the Limited that I loved, but, of course, they went out of business. </p> <p>I am typically a size 8, give or take, if that helps. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
