I've gone through enough baggy pant mistakes to veer away without trying on and getting approval here (of which the slouchy jeans are the first to do so!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530382 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:30:35 +0000 Beth Ann 530382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon: I have dark denim skinnies, but I liked the straight fit of these Bandolinoblu red jeans that can be found at Macy's. The style is called "Mandie," and they feature a mid-rise, and 31 inch inseam with a straight leg. They are fairly generous in fit, and do "give" without "bagging." I don't think they have many colors, however, beyond red, gray, blue and black.</p> <p>Good Luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530162 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:53:15 +0000 Meredith1953 530162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color but I would prefer a bootcut! I already have khakis with the side pockets and I don't think they are the most attractive for those of us who have hips. I would love some colored bootcuts though. It wouldn't hurt to try those. Maybe they would look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530154 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:46:48 +0000 celia 530154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I tried ones at Gap and they have z great fit even for pear me.<br /> They also have skinny pants in red and the usual bootcut pants that they have every year.<br /> in red.<br /> I say try them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530143 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:34:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 530143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sssshhhhhhh...your secret is safe with me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530125 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:24:26 +0000 Jonesy 530125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, sorry if I was confusing; these are from Mango, via Amazon, purchased last spring I think. But I think you could rock the Gap ones :)! (maybe I'm in the minority in my love for colorful chinos....I even like them baggy and rolled up BF style, but don't tell anyone...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530109 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:14:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 530109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy - these are the Gap ones???? I love them on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530108 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:13:11 +0000 Jonesy 530108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're great! I have a bright coral-red pair that I wear a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530093 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:53:59 +0000 jayne 530093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must post when you find something....I don't want skinnies either but I tried colored chinos yesterday...and the waist was ridiculously big....:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530091 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:49:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 530091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear y'all and I think you're right - bootcut denim in a bright colour would be better for me. Now off to peruse the web and see who has what...thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530050 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:12:15 +0000 rae 530050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a bootcut or boyfriend jean would work better, but the proof is in the fit, I guess. I just think that a jean would have more heft, be more forgiving, and probably have a better cut. My pants search has shown me that brands are not paying great attention to the cuts of their pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530048 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:05:54 +0000 keruchina 530048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it really depends on the fit of the pant. I'm not convinced that baggier means more flattering or easy to fit well. I think it's definitely worth trying on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530036 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:56:41 +0000 Sona 530036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/06/15/how-to-create-a-long-leg-line-with-cropped-pants/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/06/.....ped-pants/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530034 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:55:48 +0000 Sona 530034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the bottom needs to be tapered just right ( ? alteration needed) and you need nude heels. with that it could work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530033 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:55:47 +0000 HelenInCanada 530033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yes - a great alternative to ultra tight skinnies. And the colour is, like, ALL THE RAGE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530032 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:54:49 +0000 Diana 530032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... I'm not convinced but I admit that I have a poisoned eye for khakis (even colored ones). I particularly dislike the pockets (both front and back) on these. </p> <p>What about colored boot cuts or straight leg jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frump#post-530025 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:51:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 530025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=8798&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=331551&#038;scid=331551033" rel="nofollow">http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse.....=331551033</a></p> <p>I love the look of coloured skinnies but just not comfortable with the idea of that much "tightness" so thought these could be an alternative. I would not wear them rolled up since I'm short - would hem them to appropriate PPL. What do you think? </p>
