Olive is such a hard colour to find properly in trousers - I also need a deeper olive green to look right with my yellow undertones, otherwise it looks a little drab. </p> <p>Oh well, onwards &amp; upwards Donna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185564 Fri, 09 Apr 2021 03:02:24 +0000 DonnaF 2185564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so, so much Suntiger, Runcarla, SarahD8, rachylou, shevia, lisa p, Suz, slim cat, Murph 11, Firecracker, Robin F, Irina, bonnie, Liz, kellygirl, and of course, Angie, for taking the time to look and comment.</p> <p>I am returning the pants. With the color a little off and draining and the fit not perfect, it's a signal to return them. My weight is on a downward trajectory (losing about a pound per month due to increased exercise), so if they get marked down in a few months I may try again to see how they look at that point.</p> <p>Finding the *right* green for me is difficult due to my coloring, but it's not as though I'd be running around nekkid without these pants! Being uncertain enough about something to post a K/R should tell me that it's a signal to return it!</p> <p>Again, thank y'all for looking and posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185461 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 18:31:57 +0000 kellygirl 2185461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think these are fab enough for you. I'd pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185446 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 17:24:07 +0000 Angie 2185446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They have potential, <b>DonnaF</b>! I can see you rock carrot pants. These are not perfect though.</p> <p>I'm with <b>Lisa P. </b>These look short in the rise, and are pulling a little at the pockets. You might be okay with that though, if they don't shrink in the wash, and you're comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear my own carrot pants looser, and longer in the rise. I do not like tightness around my crotch point, so I'm extra sensitive to that physically and visually.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185437 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 17:06:50 +0000 Liz 2185437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the shape of balloon pants; it's a trend that I'm all over. These, however, don't have your usual snap and edge; you wear trends so beautifully and manage to look crisp and wonderful in them. I think it's because of the drab olive color and something about how they're fitting in the waist/rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185435 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 17:01:26 +0000 DonnaF 2185435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants have a 12.5” front rise and 16” back rise so aren’t too short in the rise for me. Due to my pancake behind, I think the back rise may be creating a problem. </p> <p>Fun pants, but not a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185415 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 15:29:11 +0000 Bonnie 2185415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great. If they are comfortable, keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185386 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 13:48:20 +0000 Irina 2185386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They sit too high to my eye. Pants like this can be shortened, darts will need to extended higher and the bottom cut above the ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185385 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 13:48:05 +0000 RobinF 2185385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you. The length seems good, I think it looks kind of awkwardly short on the model. I don't like the rolled up version as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185371 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 12:27:22 +0000 Murph11 2185371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fun shape, and I really like the sleek tee with them for even more contrast in volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185340 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 05:25:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2185340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, and I like the length of them on you. I don't think the have to be short like on the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185337 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 05:03:36 +0000 slim cat 2185337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those pants on you - fun look with camp shirt!&nbsp;<br />You have the ability to pull this off - respect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185333 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 04:22:09 +0000 Suz 2185333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of them. But I, too, am wondering if they are short in the rise. It could just be the way you are standing. This is a fantastic style for you, though. It's just a question of finding the right ones.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185328 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 02:51:16 +0000 Anonymous 2185328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to be contrary here and say that they look a little short in the rise , which is making the pleats pull open slightly . I’d prefer to see this style worn with more ease ( in the garment ) . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185311 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 02:20:28 +0000 Jaime 2185311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Rachy. And Carla has the best inspo looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185303 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 02:07:54 +0000 rachylou 2185303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way they look on you. This to me is how a balloon pant should look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185300 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 02:04:12 +0000 SarahD8 2185300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185294 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 01:40:16 +0000 Carla 2185294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a big fan of this look, and believe it suits a womanly figure better than a straight/thin build. &nbsp;I like it best with the camp shirt, and I like how they fit you (longer) than the version on the model (which looks too short). &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185291 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 01:29:35 +0000 Anonymous 2185291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure. They look sleeker on the model cause of the length, and they're laying flatter on the hip. I'm still adjusting though to the balloon style and haven't seen it irl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-balloon-pants#post-2185287 Thu, 08 Apr 2021 01:05:15 +0000 DonnaF 2185287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try to buy Petite pants, and even then usually need to hem them. These are regular sized and can’t really be hemmed due to the darts at the bottom. I’ve rolled them in the photo with the Heattech underwear (sorry). </p> <p>Is the small fold between the waistband and pocket noticeable? Sizing up makes the seat way too droopy.</p> <p>Olive isn’t my best color. These pants appeal to my crazy Go Big or Go Home sensibilities.</p> <p>What do you think? Please be honest. </p>
