I think they are meant to fit large, so I would try one size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-506251 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:59:45 +0000 rae 506251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I mentioned this when you wore your suspendered trousers, but I just don't see 80s with these. I know I'm totally wrong about that; it's just that the style has not been poisoned by the rest of my 80s feelings. Either this style did not make it to my barrio, or I was too young. All I see is menswear from the 20s and 30s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-506163 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:38:42 +0000 Angie 506163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH! I see them!</p> <p>Well you know I LOVE those. We'll make you like '80s styles yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-506158 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:35:38 +0000 rae 506158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, the suspendered ones are in the pic above your original comment - I ordered them. lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-506136 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:22:54 +0000 Jonesy 506136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie about going for a looser look with these. They will look very cool, I'll bet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-506132 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:20:38 +0000 Angie 506132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't Rae, because Esprit's site is a mare and the links don't go back to the styles. But I will happily wear the '80s version FOR YOU. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-506064 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:09:08 +0000 Jjsloane 506064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - sorry the first batch didn't work, but after finding that I'm a 10 in most of their pants ( I am smack in the middle of 10/12 in BR and Gap and a 10 in AT) I kind of figured. I returned the slouchy pair in 10. They fit, but did not look slouchy, just baggy in the wrong places so I would do as Angie suggests and I think you'll get the look you want. I did love the fabric on them, their pants have a nice soft feel to them and are weightier than LOFT pants. Hope the next batch works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505954 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 07:51:25 +0000 rae 505954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, thanks Angie! That size is coming. Did you see the ones with suspenders? :0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505935 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:47:19 +0000 Angie 505935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My slouchy trousers are almost this big! I love them like that and keep them up with a belt. I vote size down only one size and wear a belt. I see a killer look in the making :)</p> <p>Definately go for the Sloans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505769 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:12:47 +0000 rae 505769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm actually pinching the back of #1 to try and imagine what it'd look like sized correctly. </p> <p>Ended up ordering a 2 and 4 in the brown ones (0 was sold out). Also ordered these in XS and S (Angie, if you see this, get ready to laugh at me and my 80s aversion).<br /> <a href="http://www.espritshop.com/index_us.htm?LKZ=US" rel="nofollow">http://www.espritshop.com/index_us.htm?LKZ=US</a></p> <p>GirlX, the brown ones are very nice and subtle - brown and very warm tan... almost rust but not quite. These promo pix are very TTL on my monitor. ETA: They also have 2% elastane stretch, which the description doesn't mention. Comfy!<br /> <a href="http://www.espritshop.com/index_us.htm?LKZ=US" rel="nofollow">http://www.espritshop.com/index_us.htm?LKZ=US</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505761 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:09:04 +0000 Jem 505761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strange sizing, for sure! I just wanted to say that I like your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505722 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:41:23 +0000 Girl X 505722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the pants in #2 are a size 6, then there's no way a 4 is going to cut it. I'm not even sure a 2 would fit - do they have a 0? I like that brown/orange plaid by the way - is it as subtle in real life?</p> <p>Ditto Mo - it's weird that both of those pants are a 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505713 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:32:24 +0000 Mo 505713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, now that's big on the second pair! Are both pairs supposedly 6's? Maybe the second pair is mismarked . . . the first pair don't look nearly as large. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505706 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:28:55 +0000 Amy 505706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're making the right decision about the pants in #1.</p> <p>Can you order both 2's and 4' in the other pair? I think that would be the best way to decide. With that amount of extra room in the waistband, though, I'm guessing you'll need a size 2. You could fit a basketball down the front of those </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505701 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:22:53 +0000 danza.armonia 505701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like pant #2 on you. I'd call and ask about garment measurements and compare them to your body measurements with a little added for room/movement. . .if you're still unsure after that, I'd order both the 4 and the 2 and then return the one that doesn't fit as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505696 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:19:44 +0000 Sara L. 505696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does the company have any sizing charts or measurement info that could help you figure out the correct size? I agree pant #2 looks good except for the size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505692 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:16:37 +0000 Suz 505692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Agree about #1. #2 look like great pants, but whoa! Way too big. I hope those in the know will weigh in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505691 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:15:23 +0000 Anonymous 505691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Sloans much better than 1.</p> <p>The ones in 2 are HUGE on you! How frustrating. I'll let peeps with these pants advise on the right size. Cute pants, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/esprit-pants-are-here-how-far-to-size-down#post-505685 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:12:10 +0000 rae 505685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sized up to a size 6 (usually wear a 2-4), since Angie and other said Esprit usually runs small. The brand must have had a few complaints about sizing in the past, because these came fairly large. </p> <p>1 - I think I will do a straight return for these. Not as good as the Sloans I have coming for this style of pant. </p> <p>2 - The slim, slouchy pants are pretty good, though! I can see the potential. But do you think I should do a 4? Or a 2? Side view shows the extra room in the waist. I love the color on these - warmer than I thought - and the fabric is nice, soft, and has decent heft. </p>
