I noticed the detail as she looked comfortable but polished (and confessed that they felt so comfy). So I personally like the look and don't know how much the seam will shift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1099401 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:59:35 +0000 viva 1099401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a pair of charcoal leggings yesterday that have this detail. They're pretty heavy-duty leggings, more like a ponte but very fitted to the leg. I actually like the detail. It doesn't act or look like a crease because these are leggings and so completely fitted, but to me it is a nice extra visual element and adds to the legline. And the lines didn't move around. Personal preference, I guess.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1099366 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 11:25:31 +0000 Mander 1099366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea, Gaylene, but it seems like the manufacturers have decreed that plus size ladies like it.&nbsp; Nearly every pair of ponte trousers I've seen in my size have this seam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1099287 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:22:32 +0000 Gaylene 1099287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a real poisoned eye for that detail. I've never figured out why anyone would want a fake seam running down the front of a knit/stretch pant. Is it to mimic the look of a crease? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1099282 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:17:14 +0000 Marley 1099282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a pair of stretch pants that had that type of seam down the front and they drove me crazy - because of what Angie says - that seam slid around and just didn't look good with the "skinny" look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1099272 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 05:50:53 +0000 Gigi 1099272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see the seam going either way--giving you long-looking legs or being an unwelcome distraction. I think trying them is the only way to know, unfortunately.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1099012 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:14:32 +0000 Mander 1099012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, Angie.&nbsp; Guess I'll just have to try them and see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1098985 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:02:13 +0000 Angie 1098985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't prefer this detail because the seams go skew when the pants are tight. It seems to work better when the pants are loose.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1098984 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:01:02 +0000 MRL 1098984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mander. I don't think that they look weird, and the seam might give a long, lean look.You won't know until you try them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-leg-seam-on-ponte-trousers#post-1098949 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 23:31:51 +0000 Mander 1098949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking about looking for some knit trousers to wear on an upcoming long train trip.&nbsp; There's not a lot out there that I like, but I am thinking a<a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/womens-trousers/moda-ponte-trousers/G003849575,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">bout this pair</a>.</p> <p>I haven't tried them on yet, so they may look awful in any case, but mostly I'm not sure about the front seam.&nbsp; Does this detail look weird, or is it ok?&nbsp; Hopefully I'll be able to find some in person and try them. </p>
