I love those moto legging jeans. They aren't on the Gap Canada site I hope they show up soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995377 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 16:42:56 +0000 Sara L. 995377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look good with the calf-high boots. They seem like a good alternative to khaki to me. If you can put together the outfits you want with them, then I would keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995355 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 16:23:20 +0000 rae 995355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, here they are with the suggested short boots and with arms covered as Vildy noted - with the arms covered, do you do a nekkid double take? Pic 2 is one khaki inspiration.&nbsp;</p> <p>Stirrups won't work for these; there is just too much fabric, like if you tucked bootcuts into fitted boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I could also try one of these, but maybe the tighter fit would create more of a nude look despite the color?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=54987&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=600639042">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=600639042</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=54987&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=451721022">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=451721022</a></p> <p>Or I could give up for another year... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995277 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 15:26:21 +0000 Thistle 995277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, but are the boots a deal breaker?&nbsp; </p> <p>Would you give full price (or close)&nbsp;for these, or are there sale goggles? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995248 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:57:24 +0000 tinapete 995248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done a double-take on the street many times lately when I see this shade, particularly on tops.&nbsp; The nekkid question is a good one and I've thought that the look is designed to be perceived in some way as nude.&nbsp; Have made a mental note not to include in my wardrobe, but that is just me and YMMV.&nbsp; ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995160 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:37:04 +0000 Diana 995160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, they remind me of my mustard skinnies which are surprisingly versatile.&nbsp; <br />Have you tried tucking into shorter (midcalf or so) boots where the slight bagginess looks intentional? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995112 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:27:00 +0000 Vildy 995112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, the saving grace is that they *do* bunch up a bit because, going by my monitor, if I saw you across the street and with your arms covered up, I would probably look twice to see if you were naked.&nbsp; They might not be your skin color but, on my monitor, they do look a lot like someone's skin color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995109 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:23:46 +0000 Karie 995109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are a great alternative to Khaki, but they are similar to your rust jeans. And that's not a bad thing - I have several clothing items that are similar but I wear them differently. Do you have ways that you would wear them that are different from your rust jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995104 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:12:28 +0000 Eliza 995104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you. &nbsp;The fit looks good and the color may serve that nearly khaki function you are looking to achieve. No naked look at all and it is clever to seek your own khaki, which I find a hard color to wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995093 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:57:30 +0000 TraceyLiz65 995093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing... no you don't look naked and they are definitley a different shade than the rust. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-995039 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:04:42 +0000 Jjsloane 995039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would those straps work for tucking? The ones that are like mitten clips that create a stirrup for the pants? I love the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994885 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 02:56:29 +0000 rae 994885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Added a pic of my rust skinnies. Unfortunately this style does not work with boots at all. They technically fit into the boots, but since the knee is not fitted they bunch up unattractively. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994839 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 02:18:33 +0000 Isabel 994839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Carole. &nbsp;The fit you so well and they look skinny enough for boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994832 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 02:16:39 +0000 Carole 994832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first glance, the color seems similar to your rust, but that is sitting from here. If you think they are different enough and inspire different looks, I say go for it! Can't beat the 40% off price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994793 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:48:57 +0000 JulieJohn 994793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit. Can't you tuck those into boots? The color is a nice neutral and I await your color pairings with interest ... hot pink pumps, perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994785 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:44:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 994785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not naked and the fit is fab! I would keep - you will have TONS of things in your closet that will work with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994720 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:54:01 +0000 Glory 994720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL on nekkid. No I don't see that at all. I think they would be a great work item for you and think they are sufficiently different from the rusties.<br />Can you see yourself getting good usage? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994702 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:39:35 +0000 lyn* 994702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh I can't wait to see your Pinterest inspired looks - I think they are different enough of shade from your skin that you don't look nekkid. (giggle) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994673 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:15:26 +0000 Anonymous 994673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the Sloans? I didn't know Sloans were skinny, nice! I would call these camel and they should be perfect for your Pinterest purposes. Great fit; keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994672 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:12:02 +0000 Anonymous 994672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they make you look naked either. Bonus they were 40% off! Great khaki substitute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994667 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:03:50 +0000 Echo 994667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are very similar to your rust jeans, but if these would fill a wardrobe hole or be easy to wear for work, then I absolutely think they are justified. Pants that are comfortable and easy to combine in outfits are well worth their price, IMO, and the 40% off makes it that much better. And, no, I don't think they make you look naked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994666 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:02:55 +0000 hedgiehog 994666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do not look naked! LOL Do they feel comfy when you sit down? I think they are not quite beige and could be very versatile. Also, they seem to fit you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-khaki-alternative#post-994663 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:00:15 +0000 rae 994663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Banana Republic Sloans fit me so well I tried one of the new colors during their 40% off sale. Are these too similar to my rust jeans? Do they make me look nekkid on the bottom? I'm thinking of them as an alternative to khaki to copy some of my fave Pinterest looks...&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: should I wait for something with a skinnier leg that is able to tuck into boots?</p>
