If it's a problem about the placement of the knee break, that is trickier.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like them, at least I like them in theory...but...hard to tell. Can you style with the footwear you'd wear with them as well?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704898 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:00:03 +0000 Colette 1704898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, as I understand it, these pants are not a crop kick flare, like the Joie, they are a kick flare ankle pant. Different animal. These have a bit looser leg, much more subtle flare and longer length, (but I think you can shorten them to achieve the look you want). Look at the length and flare on the model. And you saw how great they looked IRL on Marianna. I think mine fit like yours, but it is really hard to tell from our pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704867 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:07:34 +0000 unfrumped 1704867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look to baggy in the knee for what my eye expects from this style, to get thd spunky kicky look. Too much overlap with routine capris. .<br /> Also to me, they are running long on everyone who has shown them, again, according to what I " expect" for this style.<br /> Maybe this is a style evolution? Maybe these are not to be kick- flares but a shortened pant?<br /> Still I think you need either a smaller size or a different brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704819 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 05:58:47 +0000 Anonymous 1704819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's nothing wrong here, but how do you feel in them? Do you like them better than your other black choices? If so, you can totally make them work. Otherwise, I would listen to what your internal voice is saying. I think they look ok, maybe could wow me if styled differently. But in all honesty, I've seen outfits from you I like better. It doesn't look to me like you need to go up in size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704779 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 03:38:36 +0000 kikidee 1704779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look good shorter. I felt mine were too tight in the thighs an butt and felt like work out pants. It's probably just personal preference tho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704765 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:58:27 +0000 Karie 1704765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look a little big both in the thigh and knee areas. But maybe what I'm seeing is just from the smudges on the mirror. How do they feel? I think they should be shorter, like in the last picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704763 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:54:50 +0000 Banoffi 1704763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants look large in the thighs. &nbsp;I think the length, however, looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704740 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:20:01 +0000 Anonymous 1704740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mirror is permanently dusty as it sits near an often-open window </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704738 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 02:17:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1704738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't feel so bad about the mirror--I was glad you mentioned it in your post, because it made me look closer to realize I had misinterpreted what I initially saw! (I have a mirror that looks like yours, too, and no kids. I think mine's just a cheap mirror--it doesn't even clean up nice!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704727 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:59:37 +0000 AviaMariah 1704727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the mirror. Note to self to go clean it. I was worried about them being too small in the rear/thighs. But I didn't even take notice that they're loose at the knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704722 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:54:14 +0000 Anonymous 1704722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: length ....looks fine as is to me . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704721 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:52:46 +0000 Anonymous 1704721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kept trying to clean my phone screen They look odd/baggy around the knees , especially in the back. I think I see them as Ummlila does - way too big . I would think they are to be worn quite fitted to the knee , and then flared out from there, no? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704718 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:48:50 +0000 gradfashionista 1704718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length in the last two photos. The cut and fit are flattering, but I don't know how they're supposed to fit. Are you worried that they're too big or too small? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704717 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:47:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1704717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks good! At first, I thought they were too loose, but I think I was seeing mirror smudges as wrinkles. The fit looks smooth, as I think it should be. <br />As to length, I'm not quite sure. But I would say a tad shorter. Maybe not the full turn you've done in 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704715 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:47:06 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1704715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look very big on you. It seems to me that this style should be fitted everywhere except the flare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kick-flares---please-help-on-fit-and-length#post-1704706 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:34:43 +0000 AviaMariah 1704706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to go home and try the size 4 Halogen kick flares again. Maybe they are the correct size? I'm not really sure. I over exposed these photos hoping you could see them. (Please excuse the dirty mirror and crazy hair, I blame my kids fully.) And then what about the length? The first group of pictures is the length as is and in the last picture I folded up the hem once. I really have to think hard if these deserve a place in my closet. I have 5 black bottoms from NAS that I'm concidering. </p>
