I'm wearing them today, couldn't resist the comfort on a Saturday. Paired them with a flowy sleeveless top tucked in, but needed another layer, which kind of messed up the look. I don't have any non-sleeveless flowy tops. Must fix this problem!</p> <p>Or does unstructured &lt; &gt; flowy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919417 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 15:05:05 +0000 Angie 919417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER! Not slouchy - but&nbsp;rather&nbsp;pleated, streamlined and just fabulous! Pleats add excellent ease on the thigh area which is why they often work for my pear shaped clients.&nbsp;<br /><br />I don't think you need to be all fitted on top. A relaxed tucked top will look amazing!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919375 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:45:23 +0000 Beth Ann 919375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love 'em!&nbsp; Pleats add ease and, in a soft fabric, can flow quite nicely over the body.&nbsp; These look great on you!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919370 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:40:57 +0000 Suz 919370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they are terrific on you and you've got some good styling suggestions from the others!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919330 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 12:03:30 +0000 Sveta 919330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they look very good. I like to wear my slouchy pants with faux-tuck or tucked in tops and if I wear a jacket on top I prefer it to be not as long as yours - but not cropped either.<br />I have <a href="http://pinterest.com/svetaddd/slouchy-style/" rel="nofollow">an inspiration board </a>for slouchy pants, maybe it will be helpful for you as well...&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919076 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:36:43 +0000 pastrygirl 919076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nancylee -- I love those on you! I'll experiment with wearing them lower, as was suggested in your thread. I hiked mine up to lessen the pouch, but maybe I need to accentuate the pouch instead?</p> <p>They came out of the wash without a single wrinkle, yay! I was worried I'd have to iron them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919020 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:25:16 +0000 nancylee 919020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are VERY cool on you. &nbsp;Nice fit, although I can hear Angie saying you should go bigger and slouchier (haha). &nbsp; It's all about your own comfort level, though.<br /><br />I don't have a lot to offer since I'm a newcomer to slouchy/baggy, too. &nbsp;I agree that these look better without the jacket. &nbsp;You might want to try a fitted waistband top. &nbsp;I've been trying mine with loose/high-low&nbsp;blouses and just letting them hang. &nbsp;But that might not work for you since it would cover up the cool zippers. &nbsp;:)<br /><br />Here's the link of my baggy trousers. &nbsp;You can get a good laugh at how high I've hiked them up....I'm such a neophyte!<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-silky-slouchy-trouserscant-believe-im-trying-these">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....trying-the</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919013 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:14:55 +0000 Nicole D 919013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the zippers make them edgy and not mad at all. But I like it better sans jacket. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-919002 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:07:28 +0000 K. Period. 919002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love 'em! &nbsp;I actually think that slouchy pants look best when they are pleated. &nbsp;I would never have imagined that a year or two ago, but there you go! I think the pleats are essential because they anchor the pants, reining the volume in a bit and showing of (for example) your lovely waist! &nbsp;Great pants!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-918989 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:51:36 +0000 pastrygirl 918989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The brand is Lauren Vidal. They're in the wash right now, so I can't check the fabric but it's a poly blend, very silky/stretchy.<br /><br />I hadn't even though of a high-low top! Great idea, thanks! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-918985 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:44:36 +0000 unfrumped 918985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those are fab! What are they?<br />You don't have to have a fitted top--in fact I think not as good--try them with a boxy easy silky T or high-low top. I kind of like the jacket in #2. You may find a denim jacket you like but I found the typical short jean jacket almost harder to style with the slouchy tapered&nbsp;pants--maybe try a slightly looser bomber style?<br />I hope someone else will chime in with better ideas. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-i-gone-mad-slouchy-pleats#post-918967 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:52:37 +0000 pastrygirl 918967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pleats and tapered ankles have been a no-no for me for as long as I can remember. Yet I've fallen for all the slouchy and tapered looks you all have been posting over time. Today I went shopping to look for a denim jacket to go with the dress I posted yesterday, and instead found these pants.<br /><br />They are WAY outside my comfort zone. But are one of the most comfortable things I've ever put on. Even if they are deemed unfit for public consumption, I will happily wear these around the house. Final sale, but so comfy that I couldn't leave them behind.<br /><br />Ah, the zippers. I fell for those first, otherwise I wouldn't have even noticed them. There are three zippers on the waist, and the pleats begin below that. Those shoes are the only non-slippers I had upstairs with me, but that is generally what most of my shoes look like.<br /><br />Is there anything to watch for with the whole slouchy/pleaty look? I keep thinking about Rae's white jeans post yesterday and wondering if I look like I'm smuggling something, and if that's a bad look in this case, or not since it's an intentional pleat.<br /><br />1 -- best view of the pleats and slouch that I could get.<br />2 -- the zippers!<br />3 -- styled, somewhat<br />4 -- side view where you can see the pouchiness of the pleats<br /><br />I think these pants need a more fitted look up top, right?&nbsp;I really need some new jackets, stat. ALL my old ones are just too big now, even though I'm only *barely*&nbsp;down one size. That off-white one in the photo below was just shy of being too small when I bought it a couple of months ago (thrift store), and now it's almost too big. I found a nearly perfect&nbsp;denim jacket at JCP but it was too tight in the underarms. Next size up was too loose everywhere. What else can I wear with these pants so that I don't look like I stepped out of the 80's?
