K is right. Try a camel pair with a front fly and more structure. Please don't give up on camel pants just yet!</p> <p>And your smile is so wonderful. It makes me smile, so I'm thanking you for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cigarette-pants#post-820816 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:44:47 +0000 Thistle 820816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that is what I meant! I got the terms mixed up. Sorry about that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cigarette-pants#post-820797 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:29:09 +0000 K. Period. 820797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NOOOOOOOO! The camel looks nice on you--it's the lack of structure in the trouser that makes them not work as well as the dark brown. Camel is a challenging color. Lighter bottoms need more structure than dark bottoms because light doesn't sink into them. And camel is truly the worst. Try another different light color, like light grey, and you'll see. Don't ban light colors!</p> <p>Also, I get what you are saying about the pants. I think you are thinking of the term "cigarette waisted," which is a higher waist usually on a wider legged trouser, versus cigarette pants, which are very slim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cigarette-pants#post-820790 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:21:52 +0000 Thistle 820790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I got my pant types mixed up. They have a wider leg, which I need, but they come up higher. </p> <p>Anyway, they are both the same pants, just different colors. These illustrate the reason I tend not tomwear light colors on the botto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cigarette-pants#post-820787 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:18:19 +0000 K. Period. 820787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dark brown, but I agree (yes, I am a mimic apparently) that it is always worthwhile to own a pair of tan or camel trousers. They are BY FAR the most difficult thing to purchase for me though. </p> <p>Camel colored trousers can be brutally honest and brutally dishonest. Most of them show every lump and bump that you have. Most of them even create additional lumps and bumps that you don't have, for which I will never forgive them. However, if you find the right ones, they look fabulous and timeless. I've found that a lined heavier wool gabardine fabric is best for me. The lining gives it structure and acts as a shield between me and the pants, deflecting and diminishing some of their ego crushing bump-and-lumpifying powers. Honestly, the last pair that I bought took me three years to find. Three. I am not kidding. So, very worth finding, but likely to take some real effort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cigarette-pants#post-820780 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:09:52 +0000 Angie 820780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like wide pants to me, Thistle. Not cigarette. </p> <p>The black fits better - are they the same trousers in the same size but different colours? I love the black! But a caramel pair of trousers is a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-cigarette-pants#post-820748 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:42:11 +0000 Thistle 820748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried out two pairs of cigarette pants. One in a dark brown, which is a normal color for me.The second pair is in a caramel color, which is usually much too light for me to wear on the bottom. Still, thought I would give it a try as I like the way the color pairs with some of my tops.. </p>
