I had a couple of pairs, they looked really Professional but they were so much more comfortable than jeans because of the lack of seams all over the crotch! Jeans have never made much sense to me as far as design... I think this style is also going back to a slightly retro look, a bit 60s. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1443082 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:41:30 +0000 Karie 1443082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those J Jill side zip pants look fantastic. I love pants with a side zip, I just bought a pair at J.Crew. And Shiny, you haven't lost your marbles, I like those pants from Nordies too (I haven't tried them on). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1442957 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 00:45:02 +0000 Anonymous 1442957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Isabel</b>, where is the best place to buy the Jag ponte pants? I may want to try them. As for NYDJ, I have three pairs right now that I love, but they aren't jeans. I have a pair of corduroy Barbara boot cut pants, and two pairs of the Sheri faux suede pants (one in brown; one in black). The faux suede pants are really, really comfortable and great for tucking into boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1442947 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 00:09:21 +0000 Isabel 1442947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have long loved the side zip pants from both JJill and Ann Taylor. &nbsp;I have had great wool ones and ponte ones. &nbsp;My favorite right now are from neither place.I am in love with Jag Jeans ponte pants. &nbsp;I have two pairs and they are just awesome. &nbsp;For jeans, I don't think that I will ever wear anything except NYDJ ever again.</p> <p>So glad you found something that works. &nbsp;Isn't it a joy ? &nbsp; : &nbsp;)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1442915 Sun, 15 Feb 2015 21:52:08 +0000 Anonymous 1442915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if it's our body type or what, but my DD just told me she's tired of jeans and wants more comfortable and stylish pants. So she and I both will be looking for alternatives. Of course, I've already found a few from J Jill, so I won't need much. I ordered these for my DD, and hope they'll fit her:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-woven-track-pants---pattern/id_271873">http://www.landsend.com/produc...../id_271873</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1441084 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 20:43:37 +0000 Anonymous 1441084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're not work attire, even in my casual office, but I'd wear them on weekends&nbsp;if they were in a dark wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1440972 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:33:06 +0000 shiny 1440972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably not work attire, but has anyone tried these on?&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/joes-off-duty-groove-slim-jogger-pants-isabeli/3935765">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jo.....li/3935765</a></p> <p>They've kind of got a "thing"... or I have lost my marbles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1440848 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:29:44 +0000 Anonymous 1440848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sara L</b>, I haven't tried Jag jeans yet.

I'm only 5 years away from retirement, and am trying to have a bit more fun with my clothes. Since I work in a casual office, I can get away with printed pants. Most important is comfort, though. My jeans aren't uncomfortable, but these pants are <i>more</i> comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1440444 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:24:49 +0000 Inge 1440444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those patterned pants look so fun, Betty.

It's just that I want something different for Spring, but don't want to wear dress pants every day. I have dress pants, of course, but don't wear them that often because this office is so casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1440418 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:41:48 +0000 kkards 1440418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>since i can't wear jeans to work, i often wear 5 pocket ponte knit pants. they are super comfy and stylistically sub for jeans.<br />i've had the EF's for going on 5 years, and own the AT's in navy (bought last year) and grey (bought this year). Totally recommend either ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/instead-of-jeans#post-1440386 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:04:58 +0000 Anonymous 1440386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always loved jeans, but my aching body is begging me for something more comfortable. The J Jill side zip ankle pants I bought are sooooo comfortable! I ordered a regular women's size instead of petite so I'd get a longer rise and longer inseam.
