I’ve tried some of the wider cut styles and have not been pleased with the look for me. Greatly appreciate the suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2074171 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 17:44:11 +0000 Angie 2074171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kathie</b>, did you see this post:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-br-wide-crops-road-test">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-road-test</a></p> <p><b>Kyle</b>, so I think you need a straighter cut with extra length. Have you tried the Boden Richmond pants?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/search?q=richmond%20trousers">https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us.....20trousers</a></p> <p>Do not try Curvy fits!</p> <p>I'd try Club Monaco, Scotch &amp; Soda, and some of these too:&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073985 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 23:45:39 +0000 Kathie 2073985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie- I thought you’d gotten them! I wish the red ones had come in the slightly more “crisp” fabric that you noted in the find. But, I needed an update for my black pants. (I put on a much worn, lower-waisted, full length pair yesterday and felt frumpy and out of date.) The BR near my office had these, and at 50% off, I grabbed them, and wore today with some higher shaft booties (in finds) and silver gray velvet denim jacket. I felt fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073984 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 23:39:16 +0000 Kyle 2073984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I am a tall, long legged rectangle, but have put on about 10 lbs since retirement. It seems to have all settled in my lower abdomen and I am self conscious about how pants fit in that area and emphasize any bumps or bulges. Pockets have a tendency to either draw attention to that area or gape and pull, if that makes sense. I’m sure there are some flattering trousers out there for me, I just haven’t found them yet.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073973 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 23:07:30 +0000 Angie 2073973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kathie,</b> I have those in red: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073965 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 22:46:34 +0000 Kathie 2073965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got these yesterday, <a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=533370002&#038;pcid=999#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://bananarepublic.gap.com.....ge-content</a>. (On my phone, so no find.)</p> <p>Love the drape, and I’m wearing them today. (Go Team Wear!) BR has two slightly different fabrications of this pant. Mine are 70% poly, 23% rayon, 7% Spandex, and they are machine washable (the website is wrong.) The version that’s 64% poly, 31% rayon and 5% spandex did not drape as well on my curvier hips (but does come in red and navy, in addition to black.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073947 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 22:32:37 +0000 Angie 2073947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kyle,</b> what fit challenge is happening the hip and pocket area? If I remember correctly, you are a tall and long legged rectangle? High hipped.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073897 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 20:03:55 +0000 Anonymous 2073897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing these today . &nbsp;(see find) They look good with boots, sneakers, and oxfords...although they are a stretch wool, which I see won't work for you. &nbsp;I prefer a looser pant to wear with sneakers: something with slouch and interest. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073859 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 18:13:04 +0000 nuancedream 2073859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had pretty good luck with Elevenses and Cartonnier pants. Both brands can be found at Anthropologie. Side pockets can add too much bulk to my hips so I avoid them altogether or have a tailor stitch them closed. I'm OK with a small or medium pocket on the front of a pair of dressy pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-pants-recs#post-2073846 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 17:41:32 +0000 Kyle 2073846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a follow-up to today’s post, I’d love to find a pair of trousers to wear with sneakers and so far have been unsuccessful. I feel my trouble spot in terms of fit is my midsection and hip area...pockets, for example, don’t seem to be my friend. Since I’ll be wearing sneakers I might not need to worry about finding a tall size. I’m open to either a solid or pattern like plaid, for example, but need to avoid wool against my skin. Has anyone run across something flop proof or quite flattering you can recommend?&nbsp; </p>
