Thanks for this evening's chuckle.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689961 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 01:17:42 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1689961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah, that's athleisure, kit &amp; ace, eileen fisher, &amp;c. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689959 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 01:07:27 +0000 Maneera 1689959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have read about those too! And I do own two pairs of ponte trousers that have a nice fall and drape. My husband looks at them and calls them 'Trackpants' nonetheless!<br /> Rachy - since you don't need formal trousers and don't love denim, I think this might be a good idea for you. Such pants look good while being very comfy. If not this brand, try another one! I do think that most of us can enjoy a pair of "gear but not gear" pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689955 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 01:00:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1689955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think everyone has room in their wardrobe for one pair of "gear/not gear" trousers (my current place below) They're great for travel, particularly. &nbsp;I do feel I need to remain vigilant -- the slippery slope theory, you know -- After all, my mom's generation had that 70's love affair with double knit pants. &nbsp;And let's face it --- they were drunk on comfort, but deluding themselves about style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689923 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:30:29 +0000 Angie 1689923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The lines are so blurred these days aren't they. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689921 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:27:51 +0000 Jenn 1689921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>viva,&nbsp;</b>I also have a sweater from this brand that has been great, so the quality seems to vary widely. I also noticed someone commenting about the same issue as I had and they offered to send a replacement, so customer service seems pretty good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689915 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:18:49 +0000 Zibbets 1689915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of not gear pants, ponte from Ann Taylor, that look exactly like yoga pants, so I don't feel I can wear them to work. I wish I had these instead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689912 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:07:44 +0000 viva 1689912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad to see Jenn's review! I see his brand in my Facebook feed all the time and wonder about them!

They were perfect for a long airplane flight. I tucked the pants legs in my socks when I used the restroom, though, because the restrooms can get pretty gross.</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-active-pants/id_212716?sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/produc.....716?sku_0=</a>::BLA </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689810 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 19:22:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 1689810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like ponte they wear like iron </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689808 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 19:14:47 +0000 Suz 1689808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Similar to Kit and Ace in theory if not execution!&nbsp;</p> <p>But yeah.

I understand how compelling the concept is. &nbsp;Currently enjoying Zella yoga harem pants and Zella Inspire capris for loungewear. The harem pants are tempting me to break my rules and wear them outside of workouts and home. They are thick enough to pass, perhaps... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-as-not-gear#post-1689794 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 18:41:22 +0000 Jenn 1689794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own those!</p> <p>They're really just ponte pants with a clever name.</p> <p>(Also, I'm gonna be honest and say I wouldn't purchase another pair.
