I like the length and personally wouldn't mind them a touch shorter if they shrink. The very slim ankles take care of that in my book (as well as your long leg line). I think this length would be good for tucking into boots, too, when the time comes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1030165 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 16:34:53 +0000 ClaraT 1030165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these pants and they did shrink in length a bit. I had some fabric to spare so it worked out well, but a cautionary note. They are 95% cotton. I *love* these pants. So comfy but sleek. Good with shoes or booties or boots. I can't tell the diff between the 8 and 10 on you, so go with whatever is better IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1030083 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 14:20:00 +0000 Isabel 1030083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length on 2. &nbsp;But I guess it depends on &nbsp;much "scrunching" you like.<br />With that said, the&nbsp;&nbsp;I love the true straights. As I have gone up and down in wieght, it is&nbsp;<i><b>the&nbsp;</b></i><b></b>pant I like to have. Anyway, I size up and have the waist taken in. I also have had the pocket lining cut out and the pocket openings sewed shut, it helps tremendously.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1030071 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 13:56:58 +0000 Diana 1030071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone.&nbsp; I think I am going to go with #2.&nbsp; I do like #3 too but they do look quite similar to the ones I already own, and the pocket issue annoys me.&nbsp; I may revisit later in the winter though.</p> <p>Question about #2:&nbsp; what do you guys think of the length? It is a teeny bit shorter than I usually prefer but because it is actually fitted to my ankle (such a rare occurrence!) I think it's OK.&nbsp; Unfortunately I forgot to check how much seam allowance there is - in case of shrinkage.&nbsp; There are talls online but it says they are FOUR inches longer, which I think is too much.&nbsp; (Website says the regular is 28" inseam, but really it feels closer to 29 to me, but I did not have a measuring tape so I can't say for sure.) I'll have to try them on at home to see if my shoes work, obviously... </p> <p>PS - was wrong about the name, they are apparently the Ultra Skinny.<br /><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&amp;pid=349597002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=349597002</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029911 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 03:51:50 +0000 Beth Ann 1029911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #3.&nbsp; Gap pants are a big washout for me, but these look lovely on you!&nbsp; I love the looser calf in #3, and this is my preferred shape for my very curvy calves (larger than yours by a good measure.&nbsp; I find that I can tuck my pants into boots if I fold the bottoms over before I tuck.</p> <p>On you, I like the skinnies&nbsp; as well as the real straights, so I'd go with your preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029819 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:35:20 +0000 Sveta 1029819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I see what Angie sees ! I think #3 is a bit long and when you get the length right they would be perfect. I like that they have some ease over the legs and not skin tight but I guess I am developing quite a poison eye for tight skinnies lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029800 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:24:56 +0000 Angie 1029800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029711 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:10:59 +0000 Deborah 1029711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go with 2 if it is the skinny fit you are after, and #3 if you are wanting something in a slouchy fit, and size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029698 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:02:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1029698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029562 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:37:09 +0000 Makrame 1029562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 2. &nbsp;They seem to give you the slim cigarette pants fit you were looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029554 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:23:55 +0000 Diana 1029554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a feeling #3 is too similar to the red engines I already own though.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-pants-inventory" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-inventory</a></p> <p>I'm glad others like #2 as well.&nbsp; They were my favorites.&nbsp; That was the look (slim pants but not leggings) I was trying to get with the ponte pants (which were just too calf-sucking).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029551 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:20:02 +0000 Scarlet 1029551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 4, if you can get the length you want. 3 is okay, but not as sleek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029550 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:19:36 +0000 Suz 1029550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3.

They have an ease about them. &nbsp;The fit of #4 is also good, but I don't know how the longs will translate. &nbsp;I'm worried they'd be too wide at the hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029530 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:00:47 +0000 CocoLion 1029530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what's pictured in #2 and #3. &nbsp;I would size up in #3 if there is pocket pulling. &nbsp;The extra looseness from sizing up may not be bad, it's kind of what's trending. (an easier fit) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029526 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:53:23 +0000 Kristin L 1029526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #2 best.

Did you do a sit test with them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-slim-black-pants-should-i-go-back-for-any-of-these#post-1029506 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:25:37 +0000 Diana 1029506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tried on a bunch of the black pants at Gap today.&nbsp; These are all cotton based fabrics, which is perfect for me as I want to replace my BR Martin skinnies, which are a poly/rayon/etc blend that is too hot and itchy for me.&nbsp; </p> <p>I am generally between size 8 and 10 in gap pants.</p> <p>#1:&nbsp; Ultra skinny size 10.&nbsp; The Really skinnies fit almost exactly like my old Martins and are really comfy.<br />#2:&nbsp; Ultra skinny size 8.&nbsp; Looks exactly the same in the photo as the 10 but IRL I felt like I looked slimmer in the smaller size, maybe because they are a little more girdling. <br />#3:&nbsp; True straight size 8.&nbsp; I feel like these might be too loose in the leg to be cigarette pants.&nbsp; These were actually a bit long, so the bottom is folded up about 1".&nbsp; There was no 10 in the store to try.&nbsp; You can't see them here, but the pockets bulge a little on these, so I might size up if I were to get these.&nbsp; I worry the legs would look even looser then though.&nbsp; <br />#4:&nbsp; Slim cropped size 10.&nbsp; They didn't have black in my size so I tried the red.&nbsp; I'd get the black though.&nbsp; Size 8 wouldn't zip over my hips.&nbsp; I hate the length but I can order talls online to get them to be longer.&nbsp; </p> <p>What do you think?&nbsp; Any of these worth going back for?&nbsp; </p>
