I ended up taking <b>Angie</b>'s suggestions, cross-checking them against your suggestions, and then cross-checking those against my desire for a dressy and casual pant. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I ended up purchasing the items in finds. <br /></div><div>Really excited! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>PS: I like this crowd-sourcing business for purchasing. It makes me waaaaay more decisive. Had I tried to do this on my own, I probably would still be sitting here in July contemplating my jean options! So....Thank you!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192406 Tue, 04 May 2021 22:30:33 +0000 Style Fan 2192406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am interested to see how these work out for you.&nbsp; There are some great styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192352 Tue, 04 May 2021 19:45:44 +0000 viva 2192352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Brooklyn: The Noxer and the 3301. But I also love the look of the Kate. Excited to see what you order and how they look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192329 Tue, 04 May 2021 18:53:53 +0000 smittie 2192329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are all drooling. I will post again soon on what I decided!<br /> Yes, I am beyond excited for my cycling journey to begin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192311 Tue, 04 May 2021 18:17:42 +0000 Angie 2192311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>G-Star runs TTS in a premium denim way. Some styles are straight, and some have a lot more room in the seat and thigh area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192310 Tue, 04 May 2021 18:17:41 +0000 Suz 2192310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I even bike in white jeans! But only in fair weather. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear wide leg crops on my bike (which has a fender and chain guard). No problem. But velcro straps also work! I haven't worn palazzo pants, and probably wouldn't. Skirts work fine, though.&nbsp;</p> <p>So exciting that you will have a bike!&nbsp;</p> <p>On the jeans front, I am just busy drooling about the various styles and considering which one I might want to add for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192307 Tue, 04 May 2021 18:08:10 +0000 Janet 2192307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d never really looked at this brand before but they look terrific! </p> <p>I have no idea what the sizing or fit is like but if I were shopping for more jeans now, I’d try the Kate. I can see you in those high waisted styles though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192301 Tue, 04 May 2021 17:46:59 +0000 LaPed 2192301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of the Tedies! Full-length wide leg denim is high on my wishlist right now. </p> <p>I’m curious about G Star sizing; from the numbers on their size chart it looks like they run very slim in the hips. Do curvy folks typically have these altered to fit?</p> <p>Re: biking, I commuted in street clothes for years, either rolled up my pant leg or used a Velcro strap, never a problem. DH likes to tuck into his sock, but you need some chunky socks for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192296 Tue, 04 May 2021 16:21:56 +0000 Angie 2192296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HOW DUTCH OF YOU to throw in a bike too, <b>Smittie.</b> Did you know that's the most popular mode of transport in the Netherlands? EVERYONE bikes everywhere in regular clothes!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like these best for you:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192275 Tue, 04 May 2021 13:26:31 +0000 sarah 2192275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go with the jeans that fit best! And remember, you can always put some rubber bands around your pant legs in a pinch (or roll them up), or get some of those velcro ankle straps. I'm a cyclist, too, and normally wear everyday clothes to bike the short trip to my office (well, I used to do that when I went to my office!). My one exception is that I never bike in white jeans. I learned that lesson the hard way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192262 Tue, 04 May 2021 12:01:34 +0000 Anonymous 2192262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big yay to the new bike! Definitely invest in a WavCel helmet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192260 Tue, 04 May 2021 11:56:05 +0000 Liesbeth 2192260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own the arc 3D low waist boyfriend style. On me they seem more like a regular mid-waist straight leg style, but I did size down considerably... For context, I have a swayed back, slightly broader hips and a round bum. Usually jeans have a gap in the back on me or they are too tight in the seat.<br /> All those styles look good for you imo, some more classic others more trendy. Can you do a store visit?<br /> And I don't think a cotton trench is impracticle on a bike, as long as there's a slit in the bottom and it's not far below knee-length... just not waterproof I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192257 Tue, 04 May 2021 11:26:02 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2192257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m excited about the bike! I’m a responsible transport supporter from way back, hung out with the folks organizing our area’s ADFC demonstrations in the early 90s. I’m not sure where you are, if that organization means anything to you. If it does, then you probably know all about rolling up pants legs, clips and straps to go around them, tying knots in full skirts to keep them out of spokes, etc. They don’t have to be your fashion faves anymore than you need to love the look of a seatbelt to ride in a car; you take it off when you get to where you are going. If not, well, chain guards are great and there are also other ways to keep from getting clothes entangled in bike parts. </p> <p>Anyway, ride on! And post some photos when it’s there. Maybe Angie will revive the cycling style section <a href="https://youlookfab.com/category/occasion/cycling-style/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/categor.....ing-style/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192241 Tue, 04 May 2021 10:18:09 +0000 Brooklyn 2192241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh exciting! I’m thinking of trying a pair too. Please report back!</p> <p>I think the Tedies are the most dressy.</p> <p>I only want casual. I like the look of the Noxers and the 3301s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192219 Tue, 04 May 2021 04:16:17 +0000 Bijou 2192219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the classic shape of the Noxer jean (I like the lighter colour and cuff going into summer, but the dark Noxer is more classic) and don't think it would be bad for cycling. The parka is gorgeous, I really like the colour and the fishtail style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192209 Tue, 04 May 2021 02:53:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2192209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Smittie, just get a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.perennialcycle.com/ankle-biters.html?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=%5BCB%5D%20Google%20Shopping%20Ads%20-%20Jan%202020%20Onwards&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwvr6EBhDOARIsAPpqUPGKbESpmrWSNlb0PJSzY1T0ynyfRHyZbETHhQIicFOiJKugRXpT-DIaAimsEALw_wcB">velcro strap</a> to wear on your right leg, and you're good! Maybe wear one on the other side, too, just to be symmetric. (That's what I do, if I've got wider pants legs and I'm nervous about them.) I'm so excited for your new opportunity to commute around town on your bike!</div><div>I'm eager to hear how the G-Star pants work out for you. I'm attracted to them as well, though I don't really need any at the moment.</div><div>I like the anorak!&nbsp; Two things I really like in a street-wear (not gear) jacket for bicyling: a stowable hood (to keep from having it catch the wind if I'm not wearing it up under my helmet) and a two-way zipper (to adjust so that I can pedal comfortably). This one has the stowable hood, but I don't think it has the two-way zipper. That said, it looks like the zipper doesn't start till farther up the leg anyway, so mobility may not be an issue. I also like to wear my leather moto jacket to bicycle, if there's no chance of rain. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192200 Tue, 04 May 2021 02:01:40 +0000 smittie 2192200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - I missed the c-staqs!<br /> Not at the computer but if anybody wants to see them: <a href="https://www.g-star.com/en_us/shop/women/jeans/d17870-b253-c471" rel="nofollow">https://www.g-star.com/en_us/s.....-b253-c471</a></p> <p>I really like them. The big back pockets look really cool!! They seem a bit low-slung and ‘hip’ They are contenders.</p> <p>Bj1111— yes, I am wondering about how those pants would work...as you say, they might not. I’m remembering my dad now, on his bike in his grey wool pants, and he would always use pant clips, despite having a chain guard. So, ya...maybe wide legs won’t work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192191 Tue, 04 May 2021 01:05:52 +0000 Jaime 2192191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I did a little G-Star reconnaissance myself, and would like to mention the c-staq boyfriend (someone please add find, I can't on my chromebook) as another option, which came home with me. It has been a long time since I bought something that I tried on and that can be returned, so I will be posting more about this soon.&nbsp;<br />Anyway, I am hooked. I love the Kate boyfriend for biking because the legs won't get caught in the chains. I plan to wait for the sales and snag the Kate in faded grey. But if you are up for a high waist I love the look of the Dad jeans above. They have a lot of amazing styles. I am hooked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192188 Tue, 04 May 2021 00:54:53 +0000 bj1111 2192188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wide leg worries me about your safety. Now, I’m not a cycler so it may be perfectly fine. The flappiness may catch the chain even with the chain guard</p> <p>That said, The tedie in both washes and the lintell are the bizniz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/g-star-stuff#post-2192172 Mon, 03 May 2021 23:25:29 +0000 smittie 2192172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Hey - I became quite excited reading about <b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-try-on-of-altered-g-star-white-jeans">Angie</a></b><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-try-on-of-altered-g-star-white-jeans">'s&nbsp; new g-star jeans</a>. I'd thought I should try some, as an experiment. Could you help me decide on what to get? I guess what I'm looking for is <b>pants</b> that are:</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>- roomy in the seat and leg<br /></div><div>- one dressy<br /></div><div>- one casual<br /></div><div>- not overwhelming, which I think some of them might be! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I also need a <b>raincoat</b>. It doesn't need to be from g-star, obviously, but I did see the beige anorak below (see finds). It looks suitably casual, but is 100% cotton. Maybe that's ok. I do like the idea of cotton because it's more breathable but maybe it's not practical on a bike...Oh, and...<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>...I ordered a new <b>bicycle.</b> It's<b> </b>coming soon, and has a chain guard and fenders. I'll be cycling to the grocery store, pharmacy, SO's house -- everywhere -- from April to October. Distances are short -- within 1.5 miles -- and totally residential. To me this means I can wear regular clothing, but it needs to hide dirt and be practical. <br /></div> </p>
