I too would prefer them in a size up.</p> <p>Angie, your comment about the 90s fit of trousers made me laugh a little, because I just got rid of several pairs of trousers that were around 10+ years old (so, early 00's) that totally fit exactly this way. You're right, even though they still fit, they just looked too tight to my eye now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582813 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:23:29 +0000 Meredith1953 582813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya,<br /> I love the color and you have great "stems" to carry them off but yeah...a little looser would be better.<br /> @CocoLion,<br /> Say it ain't so! Skinnies sailing off into the sunset when I have just boarded!!! That is how NOT trendy I am!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582810 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:18:56 +0000 Anonymous 582810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never bought Columnist but the Editors stretch out like crazy, about a full size I think.<br /> If these don't, I vote for a size up too!<br /> I'd love to see Angie in hers:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582770 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:14:45 +0000 CocoLion 582770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do they stretch out? To me it depends on where you want to wear them. </p> <p>Although it is interesting that the new way is to wear trousers more loosely.</p> <p>I wonder if that means the skinny jean is finally walking off into the sunset. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582763 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 07:59:19 +0000 Deborah 582763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you are able to get the next size cos they are going to look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582760 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 07:47:37 +0000 ManidipaM 582760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with finding a slightly larger size, Tanya! That colour really is delicious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582460 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 01:21:27 +0000 Suz 582460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous trousers, though! I hope you find them in your size. Also scribbling notes to buy looser trousers (if I ever find any that even remotely fit me in the first place). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582456 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 01:17:38 +0000 crazyone 582456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes, I think they're a smidge tighter looking than is ideal, though the fit seems OK. I hope you find the size 2, they look great on you otherwise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582433 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:44:51 +0000 Mo 582433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do seem a bit snug - but they do make you look like a tall, thin, column, so they are well named Good luck finding your pair in size 2! I found Editors fit me in 2 different sizes depending, so maybe try a few sizes on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582397 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:03:11 +0000 Anonymous 582397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*making notes* looser trousers=more modern fit. Okay! Got it. </p> <p>Good luck finding some 2's. It's frustrating when the different colors fit differently too. Ugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582340 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:18:27 +0000 Tanya 582340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Anna and Angie!</p> <p>I have suspected so myself, but wanted to make sure. Back they go. Since I will return them in the store, I will try on 2 and 4 in different colors for sure. I suspect I will learn that 2 would be the best, which is of course the only size than is sold out right now. If by some miracle 4 seems to work, I will reorder them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582338 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:11:37 +0000 Angie 582338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these in red too!!! I LOVE THEM!!! (The Editors do not work on me). </p> <p>I wear mine a lot looser though, Tanya. I tend to think that they look more modern and on trend that way. I belt them at the waist and leave them low and a *little* slouchy. </p> <p>Your fit is how trousers fitted in the '90s. If you were my client, we would size up for sure. But then they don't look bad. Its just a different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582334 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:08:07 +0000 annagybe 582334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I'd say they were too snug. They're pulling around the front in picture #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-are-these-columnist-pants-too-tight#post-582332 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:06:01 +0000 Tanya 582332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking forward to some bright bottoms for spring, so when these red Express Columnist pants went on clearance, I decided to give them a try as I had a gift card. They were out of stock in the store so I ordered them online. I wear 0 in Express Editor's so that is what I got these in as well. I have tried on a pair on the store (different fabric though) and they fit fine. However I am unsure if these pants are too tight. If they were jeans I'd say they are OK but since they are pants I am not sure. On the other hand they are supposed to fit much closer than Editor's that I am used to. Either way, they are sold out of size 2 now, so I can not really try it for comparison, and I am pretty certain I would swim in 4. So, are these OK and should be kept or too tight so they should be returned? Many thanks! </p>
