And there was a point in time, maybe before the ankle pant just took over, that I thought that look was quite acceptable. Now I'm confused but I still think it gives me a look I like that is&nbsp;more dressy than&nbsp;a trouser, so I am in pursuit even if is counter-culture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1401206 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 23:26:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1401206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them in #2 and #4. If they weren't so slouchy and drapy, I might want them shorter. But to me, this style lends itself to a little more length, and I find it elegant looking. I suspect my preference isn't especially in style, but there you have it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400971 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 14:15:02 +0000 unfrumped 1400971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echo, I may also have confused things by showing different lengths in the photos. Might help to try some more pcis with other flats.. Dunno. If tapered pants are REAL long, they just puddle on my calves &amp; ankles since after some point they will not cover any more of the shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400871 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 04:07:11 +0000 Echo 1400871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am likely not qualified to judge, given that I have a poison eye for ankle pants. Despite all the talk about pants being short enough to look intentional, I still see them as high-water pants. I like pants to be full length, bordering on overly long. With that in mind, I like these pants a lot, but they seem to fit into the no-man's-land of pant lengths - too long to be ankle pants, yet too short to be PPL, especially with the slight heel. I do think that dark socks would help camouflage that with the oxfords, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400767 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 00:10:36 +0000 unfrumped 1400767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good idea, Ummila.<br /> In pic 3 they are turned up maybe an inch, which I think looks okay.<br /> When I go really above ankle, I don't seem to have any legs left!<br /> Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400763 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 00:01:43 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1400763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them but I think they need to be shorter. Why don't you play around with Hollywood tape or something like that to test out different lengths for different shoes, to see if something settles out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400705 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 21:32:16 +0000 unfrumped 1400705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!<br /> I want to make these work since they have a better fit and drape than some others. But I am still figuring out how to focus the length and proportions for my preferences plus " trend" issues -- where is my sweet spot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400605 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:56:15 +0000 kkards 1400605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 jsut took my breath away..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400604 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:51:31 +0000 unfrumped 1400604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Added Finds for pants, shoes and jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-waist-tapered-pant-and-bonus-magic-pump#post-1400603 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 17:49:52 +0000 unfrumped 1400603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some try-outs with the AT faux leather waist pleated tapered pant.</p> <p>1-2 with jacket and I think first is with an ancient low pump I've saved then with the new Vaneli pump and in one pic have shortened the hem a bit.</p> <p>4 showing more tailored version with turtleneck and oxford. I might try my slimmer oxfords.</p> <p>5 is with a casual studded sweatshirt and lug monkstrap shoes.</p> <p># 2-3 are Vaneli "magic pumps"--my find of the season, and I got them the day of the gala! They are so comfortable and I can walk in them! Still are special-occasion shoes, but the best I've had. (Don't laugh since they are still not super-girlie pumps). Something about the shape of the heel, which you can see is a block heel that's narrow in front-to-back dimension, yet is so stable.</p> <p>I just tossed on a gray belt because I need a longer length for the low rise; a black belt would give me more legline.</p> <p>Here's my dilemma: I have a "sugar eye" for these tapered pants to be worn long, not as ankle pants, on me and especially with the fullness of the pleats. <br />Can't this just be my style? </p> <p>I know there are strong feelings on pant lengths (since I've got my own!) but would look forward to pro &amp; con discussions of how I might make the tapered-with-break/scrunch work for me --or, if just a hair shorter is better &nbsp;how do you work it with different shoes- my dilemma is I want to wear higher and lower vamps.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
