The grey are a little snug but even if they weren't I think you could do better style-wise? You have such a nice figure!</p> <p>The rise is fine and I like the fitted thigh but maybe a longer length and less tapered at the ankle? Maybe even not tapered at all?</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1848427 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 14:27:34 +0000 LAvintagestyle 1848427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also thought the grey pants looked perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1848219 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 15:24:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1848219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you're buying online anyway, why not see if the outlet for the same chain that someone posted a link to has the pants you need? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1848136 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 09:53:58 +0000 anchie 1848136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan - &nbsp;I should probably wait for the blazer to arrive and to see if it works before I start looking for matching pants. Maybe I will not need them in the end. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1848122 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:53:58 +0000 Style Fan 1848122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would be worth trying the Avery ones if the blazer works out.&nbsp; I have found that pants in a different colour fit differently in terms of sizing.&nbsp; I don't know why that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1848108 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 08:00:46 +0000 anchie 1848108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mtnsofthemoon - this is very good advice, I never even considered altering the waist, just always wear the belt. I should try it to see if it makes worthwhile difference. </p> <p>Thank you all for helping me make decision - I am returning both. Will try to find Ryan in size up, although I have another pair of lightweight wool Rayans in this same size that fit good. There is also Avery model in the same color and fabric, maybe I can try my luck with those instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847646 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 18:40:05 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1847646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with some of the others.&nbsp; I would try sizing up in the Ryan.&nbsp; I prefer that fabric for the work environment.&nbsp; The Olive Avery is pretty.&nbsp; But doesn't seem like work pants to me.&nbsp; Ditto on the length.&nbsp; I am curvy:&nbsp; small waist and round bottom&nbsp; I size up in the Ryan's and then have the waist altered.&nbsp; For 20 years I resisted the idea of having to pay for alternations after paying for my pants (hated the idea of added cost).&nbsp; However, I have to humbly admit once I bit the bullet I have been SO MUCH HAPPIER when getting dressed in the morning.&nbsp; So I just mentally include the additional $20.00 for alterations when considering purchasing a pair of pants.&nbsp; Best of luck to you in finding what you need for work.&nbsp; I can relate to the frustration in the process.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847645 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 18:30:39 +0000 anchie 1847645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jojce B - gray pants don't feel uncomfortable but they feel tighter then I ,would like. I was just hoping that it does not look like it :)</p> <p>SandyG - unfortunately bigger size iz not available in this color even at the full price. But good tip about ebay. Never shopped for clothes there. </p> <p>karen13 - there is no Banana Republic shop at all in Austria, only online shop. I think you are right about lighter color needing size up - they show imperfections more :)</p> <p>skylurker - Massimo Dutti is also not available here. Issue is that there are only two types of suits here - very expensive designer ones or cheap polyester ones from high street chains. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847622 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 17:11:29 +0000 skylurker 1847622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand how frustrating it is. I put on weight last year and had to replace all trousers and jeans (and undies!)<br /> Maybe try Massimo Dutti? They do office wear at reasonable prices, and not too classic/stuffy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847618 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 16:59:37 +0000 karen13 1847618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a Banana Republic Outlet near you. I found a lot of dress pants there, and they seem to have an additional 40% off. lots of Ryan and Avery.<br /> <a href="http://bananarepublicfactory.gapfactory.com/browse/category.do?cid=1045335&#038;mlink=1037770%2C13495906%2Cflyout_topnav_PANTS_SHORTS&#038;clink=13495906" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublicfactory.g.....k=13495906</a><br /> I find I need to size up a bit in a lighter colored drapier pant like the grey to get the best look.</p> <p>Oops, the 40% is currently off tops but they run frequent sales and if you sign up you can get lots of coupons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847613 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 16:24:59 +0000 SandyG 1847613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That particular Ryan looks too small for work comfort and style IMHO, but going up a size should work out if the ordered jacked fits you well.</p> <p>With budget considerations, new grey wool Ryans on eBay start at 29.99, so if you can find your size maybe that would help.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847604 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 15:55:35 +0000 Joyce B 1847604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Laura, I also think the gray Ryans fit you nicely. Unless they pull when you walk or are uncomfortable when you sit, only you can tell those things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847598 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 15:37:14 +0000 anchie 1847598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I did not realize that Averys are too long for crops, thanks for pointing that out. I am leaning towards returning both. My capsule is tight at the moment but I think that I still need to be PPP :)</p> <p>Laura G - I was sooo hoping that the gray ones could work, because I ordered matching blazer and I need suit for an work event beginning November. Still have some time but wanted to be prepared. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847583 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 15:17:26 +0000 Laura G 1847583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, are my eyes on wrong? I thought the gray looked *perfect* on you and the olive was too short and had wrinkles where it shouldn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847569 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 14:37:59 +0000 Angie 1847569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Avery<b></b> fits better - but too long for crops, and too short for regular length pants. Cotton is not a good idea for Fall &amp; Winter. I echo <b>Isabelle.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>You can try a size up in the Ryans and alter the waist if you like?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847515 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 11:33:00 +0000 anchie 1847515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker - we cross posted. That is exactly what I am thinking, I prefer full lenght lightweight wool then cropped cotton for fall/winter and office. But since I am shopping clearance not all sizes are available. No size up for grey ones. I have a feeling that they are mislabeled and full size smaller and that is the reason why they were in clearance. Unfortunately I have ordered matching blazer to make a suit which has not arrived yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847513 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 11:25:44 +0000 anchie 1847513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, you are right, I think Ryans are too small, and that is the reason why they look off. But are Avery keepers, or just better then other but not great either?</p> <p>Sterling. yes I am trying to keep my capsule small, but at the moment I have only 4 pairs of work pants that fit and that are not strictly summer. But 2 of those 4 are crooped and I am not used to wear cropped in fall/winter. I was hoping that Ryans would work because they are full length:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847511 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 11:22:41 +0000 skylurker 1847511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you order the size up for the grey ones? I like lightweight wool better than cotton for work (more formal, less wrinckly), and the length is better - the olive looks too short to me, with your heels here. I can see them better in Summer, rolled up, with flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847503 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 10:34:09 +0000 Anonymous 1847503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with <b>Rachy</b>. &nbsp;The olive fit you better. &nbsp;The grey seemed too tight to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have a healthy respect for budgets. &nbsp;Updating your wardrobe using promotions is the way to go. &nbsp;Keep your capsule small and tight in the beginning. &nbsp;Good luck. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847493 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 09:15:13 +0000 rachylou 1847493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the olive beat the grey by a long shot. The cut on the grey... something off about it to me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ryan-vs-avery#post-1847479 Sat, 23 Sep 2017 07:45:44 +0000 anchie 1847479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still trying to replace my work pants capsule.<br /> Ordered bunch from BR because they had big clearance. I need to buy many things and budget is limited at the moment, so trying to get best possible options for as little as possible:). Work pants are my essentials and not something that is exciting to shop for.<br /> Here is latest arrival: gray lightweight wool Ryan and olive Avery. What do you think? Are Ryans too small? They are the same size as my navy lightweight wool Ryans but feel smaller.<br /> What about Avery? I don't have anything in olive but I got curious after admiring Angie's olive capsule.<br /> My behind is not very photogenic but wanted to show you the fit from that angle too :)<br /> Should I keep them or keep on looking? </p>
