I would think you can totally treat these as pants as well as leggings. Laurie mentioned the NYDJ waxed leggings. I tried a pair on the other day and as someone who is shorter, heavier and older was surprised that I actually liked them on. Between cost and high maintenance factors they didn't come home with me though. They might have been fun with *my* Ara booties too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito/page/2#post-1048302 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 17:13:37 +0000 Laurie 1048302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>meant to chime in the other day so glad the conversation is still rolling. &nbsp; &nbsp;First - you look absolutely amazing in these outfits and jeans. &nbsp;Agree with all of the comments on your ability to carry off styles with&nbsp;tops of any length.</p> <p>For you all who are shopping,&nbsp;I just picked up a pair of coated black jeans at Rack on Sunday - NYDJ, which is a &nbsp;brand I don't normally try, but i have to say that they fit me amazingly well (note to the curvy ladies!). &nbsp;$59.99. &nbsp;They are quite skinny - in fact the tag says "leggings" but they're so much more substantial than a legging and&nbsp;they have an ankle zipper. &nbsp;I really like the look of Vix's too,but I think I'm keeping them.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito/page/2#post-1048176 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 14:49:37 +0000 Vix 1048176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Scarlet </b>-- In my world, there's no shame in dupes when they are loved in used!</p> <p><b>Day Vies --&nbsp;</b>Thanks much for the input!&nbsp;Simple (and tonal/monochromatic)&nbsp;is definitely my default with looks like this.

I in fact possibly have bought two versions because I was wearing them so much. (And was going on a roadtrip with a baby, if you see what I mean.) They replaced my pleather pontes from last year that I wore out. Although I still miss those a bit.<br /> But yes, the waxed fabric works well to give something extra to casual day in and day out wear. Enjoy yours! They really do look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito/page/2#post-1047337 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:52:53 +0000 Vix 1047337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>All --&nbsp;</b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>Thank you all for helping me sort through the top length issues and my concerns that I might not be carrying these off the way I hoped!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy, Lyn, and Janet</b>&nbsp;-- Thank you!

[Brain dead here.]&nbsp;I have to admit I could really see these working well for someone like you or Mo. The seaming reminds me of cargo pants without those pesky pockets.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Clearlyclaire, Caro,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Beth Ann</b> thank you as well; I do have my usual long-torso +&nbsp;rise fit issues with these:&nbsp;Unless I'm wearing high-waisted skirts or Ed Grimley-style pants, tops need to be about upper hip or longer so&nbsp;"show the booty" doesn't turn to "plumber's&nbsp;derrière."&nbsp;</p> <p>[Another good reason for me to&nbsp;listen to <b>Neha's</b> advice (thank you!).]</p> <p><b>CocoLion</b> -- Glad my color thoughts helped; get those babies out and about!

You're so petite! I'm 23 and I'm envious :P&nbsp;<br />Anyway, the bunching is ok. As for tops, probably go for ones that cover your crotch area, coz in my experience waxed skinny pants don't look good in that area. But otherwise you're good to go. I love the dark-on-dark styling! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito#post-1047159 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 03:25:46 +0000 Janet 1047159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look awesome on you.

These look very sophisticated on you. How short can you go with your tops? IDK, unless they have fit issues or&nbsp;a pull-on waist, I'd say treat them like regular jeans.

Sometimes those impulse buys are the right ones!</p> <p>[And Deborah, sorry about your one that got away; hope the right pair lands in your path as I'm 99.5% certain they'd be perfect with all your dramatic tops.]</p> <p><b>Makrame -- </b>Thanks for your opinions plus&nbsp;the WSJ style perspective/care tips.

They never went on sale, and the $199 leather pants I did end up buying never looked half as good. There are now a lot of imitation leather pants, but I don't want those rubber styles that resemble black patent leather leggings. Not for me. I'm 46 and trim (size 6). Any suggestions? (No more than $100, please.)</p> —F.P., Atlanta <p><strong>A:</strong>&nbsp;Nowadays, I wouldn't dare spend what I used to on leather pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>The 21st-century version of that look is very much of the moment, so start shopping with a fresh eye. Nowadays, you can take your pick among stretch pants featuring leather or pleather trimming. But consider my personal favorite alternative: coated-fabric jeans, which sometimes mimic shiny, matte or distressed leathers. You can spend as little as $90 or more than $700 for certain designer versions. Enlist your personal shopper for guidance after doing research on Shopstyle.com to see the range of variations.</p> <p>You'll find coated jeans more appealing than leather for reasons other than price.&nbsp;</p> <p>The modern, edgy matte sheen of coated fabrics is better-looking on tight pants and I think you'll agree.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for care instructions, I recently addressed a reader's question about cleaning coated jeans: Hand-wash them inside out in cold water or take them to a skilled professional cleaner.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito#post-1046328 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 23:21:13 +0000 Deborah 1046328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are fab! Vix I was chasing a similar pair the other day but sadly they were on sale and my size was gone. I do think they have a sophisticated air... it's all in the styling IMHO. They look wonderful in your various stylings. I would suprised if they didn't become a casual workhorse for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito#post-1046325 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 23:18:37 +0000 Jjsloane 1046325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear them so well and they seem like a dressier staple to me.

A big YES from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito#post-1046232 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:46:05 +0000 Vix 1046232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Aldefa, Kkards, Diane, Peri, Mo, Suz, Parsley, Ceit, and Donna&nbsp;-- </b>Thank you all for the thumbs up and for celebrating what seems like a&nbsp;good buy!</p> <p>I guess as skinnies aren't my thing I don't notice the details when others wear them, so I wasn't sure if it was better to have them be *less* tight and fall down straight from the knee to the calf. I have pretty muscular calves so that is a sheer impossibility. </p> <p>My denim ones bunched, but as they weren't sheen-y and were softer it was a bit more subtle to my eye.&nbsp;Glad to know the bunching isn't totally strange with this style.&nbsp;<b></b></p> <p><b><br /> </b></p> <p><b>Sveta and CocoLion -- </b>Thank you as well! <br />I'm grouping my response as&nbsp;Sveta, your dedication to&nbsp;pants with an amazing fit is always inspiring, and Coco, I always want to look the way you do in skinnies (proportions with tops, flattery etc).&nbsp;</p> <p>As I&nbsp;wear bootcut trousers most of the time&nbsp;I don't mind a form-fitting silhouette in pants/jeans as long&nbsp;as it looks sleek vs Try Hard or out of touch with reality,&nbsp;you know? [Obviously I am trying hard to look sleek!] So I'm glad these pass muster with you both.</p> <p><b>Coco,</b> you made me laugh with the crop top crack -- I have a loooooong rise (~ 12 or 13", can't recall) and so there's a lot of&nbsp;torso to flash between&nbsp;the rib-cage-to-leg-join.&nbsp;</p> <p>I usually don't care for skinnies on me, but find these tons more&nbsp;flattering than most I've tried.&nbsp;I think there's some serious lifting and shaping going on, and of course the dark charcoal/off-black (I heart coal colors) + pointed toe bootie&nbsp;help.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re your blue-black pair:&nbsp;I would think lighter to deep blues would look great, but have a pair of wool pants that are that shade and it is trickier than I'd like...brighter blues look terrible with them. Hope you find combos you like so you can get them out and about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dark-coatedwaxed-skinny-jeans-sophisticated-update-or-foil-wrapped-burrito#post-1046225 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:35:32 +0000 donnat 1046225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants look great.
