I will definitely need to see how all that works together.</p> <p>Thistle, I love that observation, and it's interesting because I'm not seeing much here either, yet I'm not sure what to do with using what's caught on here or not; I'm totally ambivalent at times about avoiding "errors" vs. just liking what I like. I like the dark tuxedo stripes (in preference to white on black). I would also like no stripe, and my conservative, keep everything versatile gene would say, similar pant, no stripe would be more useful/have longevity, but these seem to fit better than other ones I've seen, and maybe the stripe actually helps in the illusion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197674 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 23:47:48 +0000 Thistle 1197674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my neck of the woods, the tuxedo stripe never caught on. I have never seen anyone wear them here, and I saw a lot at retail on deep clearance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197595 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 22:15:43 +0000 Deborah 1197595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like gorgeous pants Unfrumped, and gald to hear they are still current because I bought a pair recently too.&nbsp; I also bought them for a change to the silhouette&nbsp;I normally wear.&nbsp; I am just working out if they need shortening or what:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197590 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 22:08:48 +0000 Angie 1197590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The length and hem width in this straight style of trouser is complete poison eye to me - especially with pumps. I vote shorter or longer.<br />&nbsp;<br />The tuxedo stripe is not at all dated. Totally still trending.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197556 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 21:28:28 +0000 unfrumped 1197556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo. I know what you mean re: the stock photos; they are actually too long on me as-is. I will try to take a pic later this week with them turned up to possible lengths I would likely consider. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197546 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 21:21:53 +0000 Mo 1197546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have reservations about the leg opening being a bit wide at that point on the leg. &nbsp;Seems neither cropped nor full length, just kind of in between, to me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197542 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 21:19:21 +0000 unfrumped 1197542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pat, thanks. Not really sure what is classic now and what is long-running trend ( or any difference!). The skinny jeans seem here to stay and have a practical advantage for boot-wearers; it may be that the ankle pants are filling a similar role&nbsp;by appearing to solve&nbsp;pant length issues&nbsp;&nbsp;with different shoes.</p> <p>Hmmm..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197467 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 20:08:29 +0000 Pat Chenell 1197467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that yes, wider pants are rearing their heads after a long absence, but until <i>they</i> stand the test of time, they must be considered a trend. These pants, OTOH, are IMO more of a classic and as you described, very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-slim-tuxedo-pant-so-over-or-still-in-style#post-1197462 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:56:17 +0000 unfrumped 1197462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I&nbsp;tried on&nbsp;this checked tuxedo pant last week and was shocked that it actually seemed to fit though not specifically marked as curvy. On me it is full-length and would actually need hemming to avoid having a big break with flat shoes like loafers. On-line it is listed as polyester, but in-store&nbsp;fabric &nbsp;tag is poly-rayon.</p> <p>I brought home my usual size to try out at home ; no pics yet and not sure whether to order a&nbsp;size up in case I'm missing out on a bit more fluid fit vs. wear fitted as shown. And in the size I have they are fairly tapered at the ankle, not tight but definitely slim.</p> <p>I really like them as a change from straight classic trousers and for ease of wearing ankle-length with&nbsp;several types of flats&nbsp;and with simple black, white or bright tops, but wonder if it is on its way "out"? Not to be so trend-oriented, but practical, as in, will pants be wide soon, or are already much more fluid,&nbsp;and I'd be better off saving up; is the fit pushing&nbsp;my flattery limit for&nbsp;pear shape;&nbsp;that sort of thing.</p> <p>I had found this right before Angie's capsule post; it is sort of like the checked slim trouser (but not as good a fabrication) and again, the style may be&nbsp;intended for&nbsp; straighter, slimmer&nbsp;figures.</p> <p>Any thoughts on&nbsp;how one decides whether to&nbsp;<i>carpe diem</i>, or hold off and anticipate future trends? </p>
