They DO feel like PJs and fit my narrow hips, belly and flat behind very well. They are hella long though, even in petite! The comments say the listing misrepresents the length and I agree. Did you get some to try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722466 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 14:08:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1722466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva --- I'm mostly just interested in varying my pant silhouettes. &nbsp;In my new job, I'll be entering people's home to work with their children/youth. &nbsp;I'll be moving about, playing instruments, etc, so all those pencil skirts (or shorter skirts and dresses) are out. &nbsp;I'll also have to be careful not to look like "Mom," "Maid," or "Ms. Corporate!" &nbsp;</p> <p>Style Fan and Suz: &nbsp;I'm hoping they work too, but if not, I'll simply call out, "Next!" and move on!</p> <p>Unfrumped: &nbsp;Will they be JFE? &nbsp;I'm not sure yet. &nbsp;I like the ease and drape, which I find can work, even on a curvy frame, without high heels. &nbsp;We'll see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722445 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 13:28:02 +0000 Suz 1722445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them and I am crossing fingers for you, Beth Ann!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722438 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 13:10:58 +0000 unfrumped 1722438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For now I am finding the wider trouser not working for me unless wearing higher heels. The model is. So I don't have the tall rangy build that works for flat shoes with these pants and am not doing semi- tucks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722426 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 12:36:45 +0000 viva 1722426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, are you only looking at full length pants? I am interested in checking out these wide leg khakis from JCrew, but they are cropped.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722281 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 00:51:52 +0000 Style Fan 1722281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them. Hope they work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722212 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 22:38:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1722212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules: &nbsp;I hear you on the difficulties of styling wide legs, particularly with flats. &nbsp;For me, however, if they're seriously wide and drapey -- intentional -- the look works much better than a standard straight leg or typical work trouser. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722211 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 22:34:36 +0000 Beth Ann 1722211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules and Greenjeans: &nbsp;Here are a couple of photos and a link to a video that shows the pants as very relaxed and casual (of course the model is what I call "teeny-tall"). &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1036984&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=242689002">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=242689002</a></p> <p>Angie: &nbsp;Not Cons, but they did style the pants with white sneaks and a cute bomber! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722023 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 15:14:26 +0000 Angie 1722023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't seen them, but they would look cute with Converse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722016 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 14:59:34 +0000 Greenjeans 1722016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, thanks, Beth Ann. &nbsp;I see what you're saying. &nbsp;And FWIW, I do like this shape. &nbsp;Just surprised to see it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722004 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 14:38:21 +0000 Anonymous 1722004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My NYDJ ponte pants have been awesome, but I have purchased and returned bad ponte pants in the past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1722002 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 14:33:45 +0000 Jules 1722002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where are those pictures, Beth Ann? I can't find them...<br />I love this kind of thing in theory but in reality find it tough to find the right footwear. None of the stock photo/video options seem quite right to me; the flats look terrible (I'm projecting a bit here as someone who used to unsuccessfully try to pull off wide pants and flats...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1721977 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 13:43:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1721977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greenjeans and Sterling, the workpants I remember were more fitted through the hips, and with less width than these. &nbsp;If all I had seen was this photo, I wouldn't have looked twice either. &nbsp;My interest was piqued by the way they're styled on the website -- slightly slouchy, with sneakers and bomber jackets. &nbsp;I see them as more akin to the athleisure pants of recent years.</p> <p>I'll have to get my eyeballs on them -- may have a chance today to get to the mall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1721963 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 11:47:40 +0000 Anonymous 1721963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore that exact style as well.&nbsp; I am not quite ready to return to it (although at the time, I must have loved it).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1721941 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 10:17:23 +0000 Inge 1721941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't Beth Ann, but they look interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1721928 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 07:59:57 +0000 Greenjeans 1721928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these look a lot like all the BR work pants I wore in the late 90's - early aughts. &nbsp;Except different fabric. &nbsp;Are people ready for this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1721828 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 01:44:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1721828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So very true, Thistle, and Gap fit has been bad for me in recent years! &nbsp;I can tell a lot just by touching the fabric -- which is a good part of the reason I only shop online when there's no other option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1721804 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 01:03:37 +0000 Thistle 1721804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't seen them. Ponte knit us either awesome or awful... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-wide-legs#post-1721676 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 20:25:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1721676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have any of you fashionable fabbers seen the new Gap wide legs in person, or tried them on? &nbsp;I like the casual vibe, and the idea of ponte knit, but fit and fabrication are key!</p> <p>They come in several colors. &nbsp;At 5'6", I'll probably have enough length.</p>
