Do you have a casual capsule? I like them with the flat caged sandal, and agree with Eliza's ideas for styling. A high low light weight sweater, etc. might be a little out of your comfort zone, but I bet you would wear it very well and be super stylish / casual in a refined and elegant way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878523 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 01:56:34 +0000 Jaime 878523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are being convinced to keep. I think they look good with your sandals and I think they would work with your loafers with a less fitted top. Worth a try! The kind of shoes Suz linked to are definitely worth exploring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878515 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 01:35:27 +0000 Karie 878515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep, they look great on you. I would wear a pair of fun / funky oxfords or low heels (but then I never wear high heels). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878513 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 01:30:21 +0000 unfrumped 878513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, first , so sorry for confusion- I am set on that MOTB DRESS but am still noodling around on shoes and wrap. After all the help you guys gave me on that, I don't want anyone to have apoplexy! I have shoes now though a bit worrisome how long can wear so still keeping eyes open. Also.looking for the jacket of my imagination instead of a pashmina wrap.</p> <p>These are some good top and shoe suggestions. I need a.shoe sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878479 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 00:47:58 +0000 Eliza 878479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped- just started to style my black pair (was too late for the grey that I wanted originally for the same reasons you cited). I love the shape of the pants on you. I found that I like these pants with oxfords (I will wear them with more dressy cream ones and a casual textured grey pair). I am trying some asymmetrical tops, some longer tops and high low mesh sweaters with them, as well as belting with a very lightweight flowing blouse. A high low sweater covers one thing you were on the fence about... I am going a bit contemporary because I want to feel "of the moment" while wearing them, pushing myself out of my comfort zone. This was a splurge for me and I plan to dress them up with a great clutch for date night. I don't wear heels above 2 inches, usually lower. I think they are worth experimenting with if they appeal to you. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878458 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 00:38:23 +0000 rae 878458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeperiffic! I love them best with the untucked tops, but that is just me. The banded hems are so RAD! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878454 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 00:36:14 +0000 Thistle 878454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these on you. Maybe try them with a lace or metallic Oxford. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878439 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 00:24:07 +0000 Suz 878439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I may hazard a guess, the reason Nicole prefers them with the jackets is that the jackets give your dainty shoulder line some structure that helps to balance the loose drapiness of the pants. It's overall a fantastic look for a pretty pear, maybe especially for a delicate pretty pear like you, Unfrumped. </p> <p>I don't think you need heels or pointy toes. A small wedge might do it. </p> <p>These are not going to win any awards for the most fashion forward shoe but I wore them throughout China walking miles without complaint. Note that I cannot do absolute flats at all. These come in a nude tone as well. </p> <p><a href="http://www.ninewest.ca/product.asp?productid=7019#.UUJoF6Vh538" rel="nofollow">http://www.ninewest.ca/product.....UJoF6Vh538</a></p> <p>A summer bootie might work, too, or a lighter weight oxford, as you suggested. </p> <p>I am SURE there are lots of flat or low wedge sandals that could look fabulous. Check out the ones CocoLion showed the other day....</p> <p>Or maybe these: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/steve-madden-talumm-sandal/3460512?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=3998" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/st.....tback=3998</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878416 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 00:14:53 +0000 Angie 878416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER pants. Please keep them. They were made for you! No heels needed. </p> <p>I loved the floral frock you posted a few weeks back for MOB - I think it was pink and taupe. What did you not like about that frock? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878341 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:33:33 +0000 Anonymous 878341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you need heels. I loved them with those metallic oxfords Parsley posted. I would personally do a heel, perhaps yes, a pointy toe like Aida had on her K/R on the Leigh pants. </p> <p>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878325 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:25:11 +0000 Nicole D 878325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them with the jackets! Not so with the tops. I think you would get a lot of wear, although this is a more trendy silhouette right now, I think the colour and quality would see you still wearing this next year and beyond. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878281 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 22:55:21 +0000 unfrumped 878281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, jaguar, clearlyclaire--hello and thank you for the comments. I'm still trying to decide how much to sink into this particular look.</p> <p>Zap. Suz. Ah. The dreaded footwear issue! For the footwear to be more fashionable, does it require heels or pointy toes? That is one question.</p> <p>I tried the pants with my existing "pants oxfords," but I found them too heavy and masculine. So I don't think I currently have much else that I could try. But I would have the option of trying a slimmer oxford-type shoe, which was on my list for a summer oxford, but I've struck out. But, that means more investement in making this look work, and I'd need to see what would go with multiple things. I could do a flat strappy sandal for casual wear, but to be practical I was trying all my closed-toe looks first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878269 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 22:44:03 +0000 Suz 878269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these. I just think you need some new shoes! They are fabulous on you. So if you think you will wear them, please do keep them. And ask Angie about footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878263 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 22:33:54 +0000 Anonymous 878263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my opinion, the fit looks good. However, I think you need more adventurous footwear. That's why you are getting the flashbacks. The look is fringe at the moment, so it needs to be styled accordingly.I think they look a bit matronly as styled, I'm sorry to be so blunt.</p> <p>I tried the pants and I actually find them very figure flattering.I did not buy them because the jersey band at the bottom makes them a bit casual for work. Otherwise, I would have snatched them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878254 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 22:28:43 +0000 Anonymous 878254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hemming and hawing here. I really like them with the blazers and flats the best. I'm not sure how expensive they are and if you want to splurge on another pair (in addition to your similar pair) of these, since they are a trend. So many factors to consider! Sorry I'm not much help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878250 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 22:24:32 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 878250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you! The rear view looks great to my eye, no rumpage issues whatsoever. I think they look very flattering and fresh. Keep and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878245 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 22:22:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 878245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! These pants make every one of these tops look fresh and modern. The pants look super cool on you, and I even love the rear view--NOT dumpy at all. Perfect amount of slouch.<br /> Of course, if you don't feel all that wonderful about them, they may not be keepers in your book. But I have no reservations about how they look. You make me want to try them, and I've had a lot of hesitation about this style of pant for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-pants--badgood-duplication-what#post-878221 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 21:59:42 +0000 unfrumped 878221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I’m hitting some dead ends on completing my MOTB ensemble, I digressed into the Eileen Fisher silk pants.</p> <p>I got the gray from Nordie’s rather that tracking down black from Saks for several reasons: 1) lazy 2) I already have the black track pants, and there’s overlap in how I would wear these; 3) to me, the knit cuff and trendy style makes them less useful for a black pair to serve a really dressy evening wear capsule (insert objections here!) and so the gray goes with different items, such as a more spring/summery color palette . Plus, I really love not-black pants. The downside is that lighter colored-pants show more rumpage-- gathers and issues-- than black.</p> <p>I’ve just put up a barrage of tops/belts/shoes with them, in no particular order, including scary rear view.</p> <p>I have to say I really like them but due to the elastic gathers in back, they are not rump-minimizing, that’s for sure! Waist should come in a bit and could be too full in the upper thigh, or that’s the intent. I have played for team Rear View, and frequently that is a deal-breaker for me when trying on pants in the store. Dare I just let that go? I read somewhere that no one is really fooled about the size or shape of your various body parts no matter what you wear, and so it’s more what you like than any delusions. But, jeans, they are not.</p> <p>These are echoes of pleated pants I wore not too long ago though always in a form of trouser style with structured waistband and belt, rather than gathers.</p> <p>Pros &amp; cons: I might have got 90% of benefit from the track pants compared to just having some more ways to wear something similar. Or, the color and fabric will be better for summer. They're baggier than the track pants. Save $$ for more classic pant or semi-trendy work pant, versus, live for today. I MIGHT wear this to work on my equivalent of casual Fridays; for that, I think the most conservative looks are the best, e.g., pair with a simple short sweater &amp; flats. Maybe one of the belted look since rear view wouldn’t show. Shoes are surprising—I assumed the black smoking slipper would be most conservative, but I wonder does it say, cocktails at 6, dahling? The tweed flat gives a different vibe.<br /> Cost is of course an issue. I can do these, but would have to re-group on other “wants”. Can’t have it all.</p> <p>Critique? Too schtumpy? Stay with more figure-flattering trousers? Embrace my inner bagginess? Ok style but not this particular pant? Save $$ for something more versatile? Echoing Shannon, would these still be wearable next spring, or ppfffttt? </p>
