You hold the viewpoint that many share with you. <br /><br />Sizing up on straight legs <i>can</i> work. We have seen it on this forum - with members like K can shop, Shannon, Ceit and Jonesy. I did it with my Sears jeans. It's just not a slam dunk. And on top of that, it's not everyone's style preference. This is very understandable and we can all live in perfect style peace :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901350 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:21:44 +0000 Janet 901350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have the same experience as Diana -- I just ordered a pair of upsized skinnies from Nordstrom&nbsp;to try out, and the thighs were still clinging to my legs, while the butt and waist flapped in the breeze! I think it may work for those ladies who have straighter figures.&nbsp;<br /><br />I'm not a fan of all slouchy looks anyway -- I suppose I'm a slouch-in-moderation fan. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901329 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 13:54:10 +0000 Anonymous 901329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I haven't tried skinnies sized up, or trousers that are meant to be slouchy as they are so not my cup of tea AT ALL. I will be polite and appreciate them on others but they aren't for me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901319 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 13:21:59 +0000 Diana 901319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sizing up skinnies has never worked for me.&nbsp; On my pear shape, they just end up enormous in the waist and still tight on the hips and thighs.&nbsp; It just looks ill-fitting and not deliberately slouchy, not to mention it is not very comfortable.&nbsp; Like you, I will stick to pants that are cut to be slouchy in the first place.<br /><br />I do think that some people can pull off the upsized skinnies just fine though.&nbsp; I think it all has to do with your particular body shape.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901311 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:50:42 +0000 Karie 901311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agreed it's the fabric that makes or breaks the deal for me. I tried sizing up on jeggings and they looked awful - droopy in all the wrong places (and believe me, there are places you don't want droopy). I am liking the many different types of fit for pants these days - I'll take one of each, please! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901301 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:12:46 +0000 Suz 901301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Absolutely agree. I haven't had a lot of luck with sized up skinnies on the whole. As Ceit says, it's about fabric composition, to some extent. If it's a fabric that was made to cling, then it just looks stupid if you size up (at leat on me). It looks like elephant skin!!! (I tried on a pair of grey jeggings sized up and that's exactly what I saw!)&nbsp;<br /><br />It does work better with some fabrications. Then you get a looser look vs. super body con.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901275 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:33:09 +0000 Anonymous 901275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think it's crazy. I am a fan of the sized up skinnies (I just counted and have worn them 8 times in the last two weeks!)&nbsp;but I have found it really matters what the fabric characteristic is. Jeggings sized up do not work as well as skinny jeans. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901273 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:22:43 +0000 Agnes 901273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am a bit of an apple too Deborah [mostly rectangle]. Maybe thats a factor.I have enough trouble finding pants that looks good without adding in the slouch factor. I love a slim leg line too. I kind of have big messy hair thats a bit uncontrollable and I dont feel like a need more rumples that I already have. I&nbsp;like the crispness of skinnier pants too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901265 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 08:51:08 +0000 Deborah 901265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agnes I am&nbsp;with you 100%. &nbsp; I agree with Ingunn that fashion and style is so subjective. &nbsp; I have been thinking the same as you. &nbsp;I did try on some skinny jeans sized up as a bit of an experiment but they looked ridiculous on me! &nbsp;Mostly I think because the excess fabric did not flatter my apple figure:). I do think if it works for you great, but if not move on. &nbsp;I'm really loving a slim leg and I don't see that changing:).&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901254 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 08:20:56 +0000 Ingunn 901254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" -&nbsp;isn't this how you put it in English? I suppose we need to adjust our eyes to like new looks, but I find it perfectly normal that you are reluctant about this. I think it works on some people, but not all. You are definitely not crazy. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-always-love-the-slouch#post-901251 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 08:10:43 +0000 Agnes 901251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm finding it really interesting looking at everyone&nbsp; buying slouchy pants. I totally get it when they are soft slouchies, like the Leith pants, or other soft unstructured pants.&nbsp;And like&nbsp;the Jeans that Suz just bought that look great, and have a bit of space built into them.And BF jeans I am fine with.&nbsp;And&nbsp;I am mad for anything like a&nbsp; jodphur look.&nbsp;But what I don't get is pants that are designed to be fitted, like skinnies, just being worn slouchy. To me it look like they just don't fit properly. I don't mean they need to be super-glue tight, but just fitted is good. Am I crazy?
