In fact I'm working up to posting a thread on the topic of should I ever wear any pants, of any sort&nbsp;EVER! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448502 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 04:04:08 +0000 Karie 1448502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cropped pant part but not the high rise. 11 inches is super high even on tall "all legs and&nbsp;short waisted"&nbsp;me. I'd look like someone stretched me out from the waist down and scrunched me together from the waist up. Not a good silhouette I'm afraid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448486 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 03:27:36 +0000 Sal 1448486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to try some pairs on...I do love a cropped pant, it is a super versatile item with my climate. &nbsp;But I do tend to wear with a mid rise and an untucked top. &nbsp;Given I am shortwaisted and long legged I feel the proportions work because I want to lengthen my torso rather than my legs. &nbsp;But I think if you can get it right and embrace curves a higher waist can work on an hourglass.</p> <p>I looked for some inspiration online but when I searched on "hourglass figure high waisted pants ". &nbsp;I came up with 60% photos of Kim Kardashian... Nuff said.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448460 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 02:41:23 +0000 catgirl 1448460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So those led me to these, also on sale - and I ordered them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448307 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 23:01:18 +0000 crutcher 1448307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can just see these lovely pants, on me with the silver sequin boots that I am in love with.....A perfect Angie outfit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448105 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:04:23 +0000 MsMaven 1448105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I welcome a bit of a higher rise, I am also wary. And after spending my teenage years in too-short pants unless I made them myself, I don't really welcome shorter pants. Okay, the Audrey H. look is fine in warmer weather, but &nbsp;no, I'll pass. I do welcome a slightly higher waistline.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448095 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 18:51:43 +0000 Minnie 1448095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Janet said :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448054 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 17:50:18 +0000 Keturah 1448054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm an hourglass. I feel a hi-waist + cropped length is asking for giant-looking hips! But I do so love the look on others. </p> <p>EDIT: I think I was remembering the 80s and&nbsp;90s, when women wore "mom jeans." Such a disastrous look.&nbsp;</p> <p>I just read Angie's post that high rises look lovely on pear and hourglass shapes. So maybe I should try this! I actually love the more fluid fits she's featured and am wearing my track pants with such joy --more fitted at waist-ish area, fluid thigh and tapering to the ankle. It's super comfy and flattering.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448045 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 17:35:14 +0000 Janet 1448045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, exactly! Especially with a short torso and big boobs. It is incredibly frumptastic on me. Makes it looks like my boobs are at my waist and my hips take up even more real estate than they already do. I've been dreading the return of high rises. I'll be clinging to my mid-rise pants and babying them so they last until the trend turns again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1448044 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 17:32:11 +0000 trekkiegirl 1448044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these in theory but don't think they would work on me. Like Lisap said, the rear view goes into mom jean looking territory very easily if the fit is even slightly off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447996 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 16:09:50 +0000 Anonymous 1447996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I'm ignoring the high-waisted part too &nbsp;It works if you are really slim and not hourglassish &nbsp;- but can go into "mom jeans" territory way too easily otherwise. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447965 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:55:30 +0000 jackiec 1447965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the high waisted trousers. I just don't like the rear view for me. So I'd wear a longer top which defeats the purpose. I should try some on.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447951 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:39:12 +0000 Anonymous 1447951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these. &nbsp;I literally live for the day soon (Spring) when cropped pants and booties can come out to play again. I've never tried on Rag&amp; Bone trousers - but these look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447945 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:32:07 +0000 Anonymous 1447945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eye still has not adjusted to the cropped look. &nbsp;To me, it always looks like the person is wearing pants too short (shrunk in dryer). &nbsp;If I am ever going to wear cropped pants, it will have to look intentional and not like a mistake. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447773 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 04:09:31 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1447773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe with a high/ low hem shirt/blouse...on me, high waist back view + tucked shirt is SCARY. Haven't worn that look since high school and I regret to say that things have likely not improved it the junk arena since definitely for someone with curves on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447745 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 03:23:49 +0000 Angie 1447745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, of course.

I wonder why the sale price isn't showing on the find; I like that little feature, and it doesn't seem to be working here.

I have short legs and a long torso, so I have to work way to hard to make them look good.&nbsp;In weather that allows a bare ankle, I can be in a skirt. </p> <p>Still, a fab look, I just have to enjoy it on others :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447710 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 02:36:12 +0000 Janet 1447710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they were not high-rise and if they were full-length, I would really like them. </p> <p>Sigh. High rise and high waters on my body, just not a great thing. That's ok, less temptation to shop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447676 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 01:59:33 +0000 Sveta 1447676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We need to write it down somewhere: Angie is not having apoplexy but even LOVES cropped pants which do not have close fitting hems.

Too much exposure on the leg. <br />A waist like that would hit my bustline as well... sigh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-looking-trousers#post-1447646 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 01:32:43 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1447646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will this look good on 'normal' folks?

Have not seen them in person, but they look great. <b>And on sale</b>.&nbsp;</p>
