If <b>Angie </b>and so many fab-ly fashionable ladies here say they're all good, and at the current lengths, then I feel set and much more confident. :)</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, great point about keeping the slouch; that does seem key. I think I can keep them as-is and not trip over the hems.</p> <p><b>ChristelJ </b>and <b>kkards</b>, excellent shoe suggestions; I'll give them a try with a range of options and see how they feel.</p> <p><b>Minaminu</b>, here's the Potter's Clay version. I'm half tempted to just get both, but I tend to prefer to avoid duplication; it always feels like one color gets favored and the other(s) neglected. But they are really cool pants, so maybe...</p> <p>Thank you, <b>Angie</b>!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322242 Wed, 10 May 2023 19:08:59 +0000 rachylou 2322242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all are thumbs up from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322223 Wed, 10 May 2023 16:47:04 +0000 kkards 2322223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh I really like all of these. &nbsp; #4-6 I can see them working well with sneakers, loafers and ballet flats, but easily would work with a boots in fall, or espadrille or &nbsp;wedge sandals&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322199 Wed, 10 May 2023 13:54:01 +0000 Angie 2322199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Irina </b>said!</p> <p>Thumbs up for all three items!

I think the flax pants fits you very well and like the colour! Would you be able to share a pic of the other colour for comparison? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322183 Wed, 10 May 2023 13:06:46 +0000 ChristelJ 2322183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are great, all of them, and fit you beautifully. I like the skirt as it is. Also the cool barrel leg pants. You could wear oxfords, sneakers, elegant sandals, really almost anything with those. Love the Flax pants too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322181 Wed, 10 May 2023 12:57:38 +0000 RobinF 2322181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like them all. I think the skirt length is fine but am not a good judge of the new long pants lengths - still getting used to them myself. Maybe try them with the shoes you might wear and pin at a few lengths? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322145 Wed, 10 May 2023 06:45:40 +0000 slim cat 2322145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds - I like all of them in current unaltered state &nbsp;. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322144 Wed, 10 May 2023 06:34:50 +0000 Barbara Diane 2322144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great purchases. I love the color blocking and the last pair is elegant cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322091 Wed, 10 May 2023 01:55:52 +0000 Brooklyn 2322091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great. The last pair of trousers especially! Elegant and edgy. I would try to keep the slouch in them ie hem as little as possible to keep off the floor. As long as you don’t feel you will trip. I would also leave the skirt at the current length. With the patchwork trousers I’m not sure about the length. I think they could be fine as is (for that new shorter long length) but I’m sure Angie will have a view. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322066 Wed, 10 May 2023 00:24:10 +0000 Suz 2322066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>These all look amazing on you and fit fantastic!! I would leave the skirt length as it is, myself, but I like them long. For the pants, don't know until we see what footwear you will wear. I adore those last trousers. Gorgeous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322060 Wed, 10 May 2023 00:07:29 +0000 Irina 2322060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three as is, look current to me and fit you really well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-banana-republic-factory-shopping#post-2322051 Tue, 09 May 2023 23:36:25 +0000 Nomad 2322051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New silhouettes confuse me! I could use some wise stylish and fashionable eyes, please.</p> <p>After my recent color analysis session, I bought three new bottoms from Banana Republic Factory. Two just looked cool and even though they were on final sale (fortunately, they fit), so those are staying. The last could be returned. I think I really like it but the cut confuses me, and just after I placed my order they offered it in a different color that I also like, so I'm torn.</p> <p>I'm a super slow adopter to new silhouettes, and I'm accustomed to slimmer fits, so I'm not sure what to do for lengths and shoes when it comes to straight, tapered, or barrel leg pants. Are these the right lengths? Do they need hemming? Especially for the returnable pants, are they good enough to earn a place in my closet?</p> <p>Please forgive the complete lack of styling, and the bare feet (and the wrinkles); I was already wearing the tee and I'm keeping shoes off the carpet, and every other place in my house is a construction zone!</p> <p>1-3: Final sale, so it's staying. I love the greens and the patchwork, but is it a little too long? Should it be chopped a bit? On the model it was closer to just below the knee, but I'm not 5'10" like the website model.</p> <p>4-6: Final sale again. More love for the patches. Is this the right length or do they need hemming? The website called them barrel legs, though I think they look fairly straight... what kind of shoes would work with these?</p> <p>7-9: The returnable pants (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://bananarepublicfactory.gapfactory.com/browse/product.do?pid=6357520110002#pdp-page-content">https://bananarepublicfactory......ge-content</a>). I bought them in Flax, but Potter's Clay appeared after I'd ordered and it looks very pretty (and Autumn-y); they're both lovely colors so I'm just not sure which would be better. How is the length and fit?</p> <p>Thank you for your wisdom and opinions! </p>
