I couldn't figure out if that was the look or if the fit was off. I think you're right to try the other pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510731 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:41:57 +0000 Isis 510731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could be, Angie. I did try higher up, and it looked even worse from the back; the waist bunched up......Onward to more possibilities!</p> <p>I will say that that Esprit sent these in record time, with a free return label. I'll order from them again, unless it turns out that they just don't make fits for my body type.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510721 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:31:03 +0000 Angie 510721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are suppose to fit high on your waist and be pulled in with a belt. The look has potential with a wider belt - but it might make you feel less than pulled together. Soooooo on to trying Jeanne's pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510720 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:29:51 +0000 Isis 510720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody! Looks unanimous! The pants are going back.</p> <p>Pants are always hard for me to fit, but these particular ones are especially difficult. i think they'd might look interesting on a straight rectangle, with the waistband belted low on the hips and then draped smoothly down. </p> <p>I have the ones in #8 on order. I have a feeling a brick and mortar store might be the best way to go, where I could try on a bunch...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510684 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:51:34 +0000 fauxpas 510684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I concur with the other gals. They are not a fabulous fit for you and there is a great fit out there for everyone! I do LOVE the pants in #8 and, while it's hard to tell your body type from the photo, they look like the silhouette might be a really great one for you. I love the slouchy menswear look but don't thnk it's for everyone and I can almost tell from your body language in the photos that you are not comfortable wearing it. My hats off to you for trying it as I think that's the best way to know if something is for you. PUT IT ON! Let us know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510438 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 04:55:05 +0000 Sveta 510438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants do not deserve your beautiful body! Keep looking and universe will provide (not that it did for me though Pants are so hard to fit for me, I also get body issues after trying them in the store and have to do a therapy session with myself afterward to regain my body confidence back </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510430 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 04:47:22 +0000 Janet 510430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that they are not a great fit. I vote to try JJsloane's pants! I'm tempted by those myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510383 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 04:01:10 +0000 Suz 510383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your body is not the problem. Your body looks great. </p> <p>The pants don't do it justice. But what about ordering the other ones and seeing how they work? I LOVE the plaid!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510382 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 04:00:09 +0000 Jonesy 510382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some weird-fitting pants, no doubt about it! I say try the ones that Jeanne (JJ) is sporting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510380 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:58:19 +0000 KeepCalmAndCarryOn 510380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love these. They look good from the front, but as other people have commented, from the back something looks off--they're too baggy around the hamstrings, so the crisp seam is lost. </p> <p>I hope you know that your body looks great and that a more slim-cut pair of pants might actually look better on you! I hope I'm have a shape like that when I'm older. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510349 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:32:46 +0000 rachylou 510349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ya, I vote pass. This local designer with a shop once told me there are something like 38 standard patterns/body shapes for ladies, and a manufacturer will only work off one or two of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510330 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:21:55 +0000 sarah 510330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others. They seem to be a bit baggy in strange places in the rear - they are just cut unusually, I think. It's too bad - from the front they have potential. I vote keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510328 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:20:21 +0000 rae 510328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm... I wonder if this a junior's line, or something? Seems like they are meant to be baggier, but then the waist would be huge. As much as I love them, I think I vote to pass. You have much better in your closet already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510306 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:05:25 +0000 kimlee 510306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to say that these need to be returned. The fit just seems off to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510301 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:01:36 +0000 Amy 510301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is absolutely nothing wrong with your body--I think the problem is with the pants. I don't like how they fit you or the model.</p> <p>The back view particularly bothers me. The fabric is twisting in a strange manner across the backs of your thighs. It just doesn't look comfortable.</p> <p>The crotch area on the front of the pants also has a fold in #3, making me wonder if they're too long from waist to crotch.</p> <p>I'm picky though.</p> <p>I want to see you in the pants pictured in #8. I'd also like to see you in another pair of drapey pants. I'm sure there are better ones out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-esprit-plaid-pants#post-510277 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 02:31:41 +0000 Isis 510277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Insprired by JJsloanes plaid pants from Esprit, I ordered some for myself. When I got them, I realized that I'd actually ordered a different pair, the slouchy plaid Esprit pants that Rae showed us earlier!</p> <p>Here are Rae's pants on me. They are an odd fit. They are supposed to be slouchy, and are really big in the waist. In fact, I can slide them off without unbuttoning! They come way down on my hips, and I'm going to need a belt to keep them up.</p> <p>While they slouch on my hips, they are very fitted on my thighs and behind. I'm not sure they are flattering on my middle-aged non-model body. Should I try again with JJ'sloanes plaid pants which look less slouchy?</p> <p>#1-6 shows these pants on me. I threw on a shirt and a knit top, with my running bra and clogs. I would probably wear flat brown shoes IRL</p> <p>The last 2 pics show these pants from the esprit catalog, #7 the ones I ordered, then #8, a different pair, (JJ'sloane's pants). </p> <p>Critical feedback is very welcome, I would like your honest opinion! Thanks!!!!</p> <p>Should I keep? Should I try the other pair of plaid pants? </p>
