You rock them, but I'd feel too booty exposed to wear them to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516171 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:42:42 +0000 rachylou 516171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pants. The fit seems fine to me. You are way far away from "hoochie" fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516147 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:10:13 +0000 cobaltblue 516147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the hair!!! I too would like to see the next bigger size. I think I would also like to head to AT and check these out on myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516138 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:52:21 +0000 MsMary 516138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guilty as charged, although I don't exactly practice any more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516134 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:42:45 +0000 Amy 516134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look nice on you, but I'm in Jonesy's camp about the tightness across the backside...at least for work. Can you try on the next larger size and show us those?</p> <p>P.S. Are you a lawyer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516127 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:33:49 +0000 Isabel 516127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am another odd man out...I also think that they pull across your bum and around the side a bit too much for the courtroom. Do they stretch with wearing ?</p> <p>They are fab pants, though. What about going a size bigger and then having the waist taken in so you get a tiny more room in the bum ?</p> <p>They DO look great, but just not for court, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516123 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:30:22 +0000 cciele 516123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pants! Would like to see them a size up too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516113 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:17:51 +0000 Scarlet 516113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great for dates, tight for work. I would like them a little longer which you might get from a size up. Gosh you look great though! Team RR! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516110 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:11:58 +0000 rae 516110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knowing how much you tuck at work, and that you sometimes need to up the formality, I vote to try a size up. Looks great otherwise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516090 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:38:52 +0000 MsMary 516090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, maybe I should size up and see how they look. Hubby thinks they're too tight for work, FWIW, although he LOVES them for Date Night! LOL I'm still on the fence because I don't really need another pair of black pants I can't wear to work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516079 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:17:30 +0000 Jonesy 516079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length and the general idea of these pants. Re. tightness, I think I might be an outlier around here in terms of dress pants for work: I generally prefer them to fit more loosely than skinnies or jeggings, so no creasing on the back of the thighs. It's not just a modesty/appropriate thing for me; I just think it looks better. But again, I am really in the minority at YLF on this, I think :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-516003 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:59:17 +0000 Angie 516003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a yay vote! Length is great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515927 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:39:46 +0000 Aunty 515927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit is superb. I am sitting out on the PPL. I have a phobia about trousers that don't "break" on the foot. LOL but I am a 70's babe that had to have those platform shoes covered to the ground.</p> <p>PS your hair is beautifull! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515872 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:55:44 +0000 Deborah 515872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look fantastic. The fit looks to be very good and i think the length is good (I need to go back and check Angie's previous posts on PPL to remind me). I love this look so I vote keep. I think they would look fabulous for work with a boyfriend style jacket. And I am loving the new do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515847 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:41:29 +0000 Marley 515847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them - and I agree with Denise!</p> <p>P.S. Your hair is fantastic!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515845 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:34:45 +0000 CocoLion 515845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the slim fit. If you wear them with butt covered as Rita suggested, I think they're a YAY for work. If you are wearing them with cropped jackets, they move more into dinner/date night attire.</p> <p>ETA: length looks fine *to me.* The more tapered the leg opening, the shorter you can go as ankle or cropped tapered pants are the trend but as we know Angie is sitting that one out. I think ankle pants can be cute if they are cut right and worn with the right footwear, also I like the way ankle pants show off shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515841 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:08:37 +0000 Sally 515841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted Yay....but am unsure about length too. People seem to wear straight legs shorter dont they. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515808 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:15:09 +0000 Karina 515808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, I hate to be the odd man out here, but in the side-view shot, they do look a bit tight in the hip/rear ... but it could be my computer! From this view alone, I'd say nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515779 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:27:45 +0000 MsMary 515779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you, Rita! And the length seems to be about the same on you as it is on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515777 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:25:45 +0000 modgrl 515777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually wore them to work today!!</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-more-kt-animal-bag-photos-in-daylight" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....n-daylight</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515772 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:08:36 +0000 Jem 515772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They sure fit you well! I have no idea about the length of if they are work appropriate, sorry about that, I will be waiting to find out about the length though because I'm wondering about that, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515770 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:04:38 +0000 MsMary 515770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, they're having a big sale right now! </p> <p>/enable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515769 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:03:59 +0000 Anonymous 515769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course I like them, because they look more like a skinny/straight leg jean. I'm not sure about the length so I will stay tuned to this bat-channel! I might needs to get me to an Ann Taylor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515766 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:54:12 +0000 modgrl 515766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty sure I have these same ones and I wear them to work. They are tight but I usually wear something that at least somewhat covers my butt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-narrow-black-pants#post-515759 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:41:47 +0000 MsMary 515759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got these pants from Ann Taylor and wonder whether (a) they are too tight for work (assuming properly styled with a jacket or cardi), and (b) the length is okay. I'm always confused about PPL for narrow pants.</p> <p>What do you all think? (I know it's hard to see black clothing - I've brightened up the photos to try and show them better!)</p> <p>Yay = keep<br /> Nay = return </p>
