This is a perfect case of good-karma meeting good-fashion.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1611127 Wed, 03 Feb 2016 19:09:51 +0000 approprio 1611127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went back today and they had slashed the price further. I could have waited it out for more reductions but I'd rather support my local independent boutique. And wear them tomorrow of course.&nbsp;</p> <p>The length/rise is adjustable with buckles on the waistband so no alterations needed.&nbsp;</p> <p>I got them. I like them. A lot.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609819 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 13:55:52 +0000 Bijou 1609819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are getting them - I love the beautiful tailoring of these pants and think they look fantastic on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609810 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 12:33:14 +0000 approprio 1609810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback ladies. I see there are a few naysayers and I take that on board, but flattery isn't always my main objective. It's great having long legs but sometimes I prefer to show off a bit of wit and self-deprecating humour instead. ;)</p> <p>I'm definitely going back for these. I'll be looking at how the rise and length can be tweaked with adjustments to the waistband and cuff but I think they could be a winner.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>rachylou</b>: I don't think I own anything I'd call a delicate shoe, so it's all good. :D</p> <p><b>smittie</b>: ah thanks, that's the deal breaker! I don't mind if it shortens the leg, if it looks like "me", that's the win!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Deborah:</b>&nbsp;there's no fold-over, just a very deep, draped crotch. And I'm so glad I'm not the only one here with a penchant for harem pant wannabes ;)</p> <p><b>RoseandJoan:&nbsp;</b>I've always found this shape very mobile, but it needs a lot of volume in the seat to feel right.</p> <p>Thanks again for your collective wisdom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609756 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 04:07:35 +0000 Jaime 1609756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you know I am going to say go back and get them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609687 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:13:02 +0000 Deborah 1609687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them!!</p> <p>Are they a fold over at front or a draped low crotch? I cannot see.</p> <p>I recently bought #1 and while they hit my ankle. They are a much more relaxed on me than the model. A little more like yours fit. </p> <p>The pants are interesting and I like the fit. I encourage you to go try them again. I do like the length. It gives them an edge and contributes to the avant Garde vibe of the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609659 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 22:42:00 +0000 Aida 1609659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit, I don't think a size down would drape as well. A little tough to tell on the length but I can see how a smidge shorter/narrower would give the pants more longevity (if that's an alteration you're OK doing to fancy-pants). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609609 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:54:11 +0000 Anonymous 1609609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the cost per wear seems okay, go for it!&nbsp; They look way cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609608 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:53:24 +0000 annagybe 1609608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love!<br /> Though I see what Angie says about being a bit shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609594 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:09:01 +0000 CocoLion 1609594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can pull these off, if you love them. &nbsp;I'll defer to others on the length, but these look good size-wise to me. &nbsp;They are meant to be quite slouchy as per the model photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609591 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:01:38 +0000 Anonymous 1609591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These just seem so so you (having now seen a few of your WIWs).<br /> I don't think they're a perfect rendition of a cropped pant, but I don't think they're supposed to be (that's my take anyway).<br /> I just think these are arty and cool.<br /> Oh, maybe the word I'm looking for is "avant garde"?<br /> I like. How you've styled them and I also like you're styling ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609581 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 18:30:36 +0000 RoseandJoan 1609581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just curious if the dropped crotch effects movement at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609577 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 18:24:22 +0000 skylurker 1609577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wide hem hang strangely. Otherwise, they look good from the front.<br /> Can't see the back view, so I'll defer to Mr Edge to judge if it looks good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609561 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 17:53:48 +0000 rachylou 1609561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I like the way they hang... and I like them at 'flood' length because that's creative cool. But I will admit that I'm not sure that length would work with a dressier, more delicate shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609536 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 16:33:58 +0000 shaz 1609536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As an investment piece i'm assuming they are expensive I think they really shorten the leg on you and would leave them behind myself sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609529 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 16:26:15 +0000 unfrumped 1609529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be a nay-sayer. I think they look kind of like harem-wannabes but not quite, and yet the taper puts them out of the slouchy cropped trouser look. They seem too full through the&nbsp; hip for the taper, for my eye.</p> <p>But, that may be just what makes them fun for unusual reasons--so I am more looking at it from a "typical" proportions view. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609526 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 16:22:24 +0000 approprio 1609526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is encouraging. I was expecting a load of "whatever are you thinking?" so nice to hear I'm not going mad.&nbsp;</p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b>lisap, kkards</b>, cheers, that's some enablement right there. I'm quite taken with them myself, but they absolutely need to justify the expense.</p> <p><b>Angie:</b>&nbsp;I too have the feeling they should be a tad shorter. I checked the (oh so beautifully finished) cuff and it doesn't look like a difficult alteration. A size down might sit higher on the waist as well, so could be worth a try.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609512 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 16:10:36 +0000 Angie 1609512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence about the length/hem width. Even when you wear a column of colour - which is as flattering as you can make the look - &nbsp;I think they should be shorter in length,<b> or</b> less wide at the hem at this length. I DO like the fit of the rest of the trousers.&nbsp;</p> <p>My 2 cents.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609509 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 16:02:50 +0000 kkards 1609509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>these are fab! i'd love to see these with a simple white shirt and oxfords…or with a hoodie and flatform sneakers…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609504 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 15:45:35 +0000 Anonymous 1609504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are great - go for it. Wouldn't they be perfect with a bomber and oxfords? &nbsp;If left to my own devices, and if pieces like this were available at retail here in the hinterlands, I'd be wearing pants like this. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/enableveto-these-trousers#post-1609476 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 14:51:44 +0000 approprio 1609476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found these pants on sale today. I've had this style on the wish list since trying a few pairs in Japan and then coming home to discover I'm short on dressy black pants for winter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Quality and material is outstanding. Price is in the investment bracket so I need to be sure they'll work.&nbsp;</p> <p>I had Mr Edge snap a shot (complete with bonus lego robot fella) and I don't like them as much in the picture as much as in the mirror, but I'm still seeing the potential. I'm thinking fluid fit and oversized sweaters, bomber jackets, tailored shirts, maybe even blazers and probably boots rather than shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the size is about right for a slouchy fit, but I could size down.&nbsp;</p> <p>What think you ladies? Should I go back next week? </p>
