Pls keep the track pants! Love them with d'orsays and the oxfords best. For self fabric tie I usually do a half bow, and let the ties longer, somehow or almost&nbsp;like you did in nr 4, but changing to a pleated (not quite the structured) one will be my best bet!

I was distracted by the quiche. All kidding aside, the pants are nice. those hang belts do drive me crazy. I usually just tuck them in or cut them off. Both shoes work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461523 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 01:07:22 +0000 Anonymous 1461523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the pants as well.

Carla - I've just&nbsp;tried the bunny thing and I like it. I think I know what you mean Joy - I just need to fluff up the existing knot thing I've been doing and that Sharon, kkards and Ruth prefer. Done!</p> <p>High five tencel track pant twin Ruth! Im looking forward to&nbsp;your posts on styling these pants. I'm sure we've just scratched the surface here.</p> <p>And it seems we are pretty much in agreement regarding footwear - I initially preferred the dorsay flats mostly because of the low contrast. However, when I saw the pics of the oxfords I changed my mind. I like the bookending of the white/cream topper and white footwear.&nbsp; I wasn't too taken with my existing sandals...maybe I need a new pair? Oh what a slippery slope - one purchase so often begets several more....</p> <p>There's enough quiche for all...seconds anyone? :-)</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461453 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 22:50:52 +0000 Ruth M 1461453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Fab - keep.</p> <p>2. Simple loose knot and let the ends hang (much as you've done in all your pics except #2).</p> <p>3. Both shoes look fab. So, wild guess in hopes of qualifying for quiche: Oxfords?</p> <p>And a big thank you, Merwoman - I've just bought my first pair of tencel track pants, and was a bit stumped about how to style them until you posted. All I need to do now is hunt down all the same tops and footwear (and clutch) as you :)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461447 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 22:23:23 +0000 Anonymous 1461447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep.<br /> The D'Orsay flats?<br /> I'd tie a rather loose, fluffed up square knot for the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461436 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 21:22:06 +0000 Carla 1461436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite trench coat knot might work. Tie a bow with only one bunny ear that sticks up, and the tails of the tab hang down...though I would second Sveta's suggestion to try a belt. Do you have a white belt?</p> <p>Both shoes work, the oxfords with the more opaque tops. Those pants cry out for sandals, though (and I see the model sports them.)</p> <p>Oh! And KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461434 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 21:17:50 +0000 kkards 1461434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pants, I reallylike how thy work as a casual pant,but that they can also be dressed up. I like the belt the way you have it in the 1st picture. I have a slight preference for the d'orsays,but I think the oxfords work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461430 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 21:08:08 +0000 Sharon 1461430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Pants look great! I vote keep.<br />2.Maybe a simple knot and let the ends hang? Or tuck?<br />3.I think both shoes work. My initial preference was for the d'orsays, but I like the oxfords with the more "mannish" tops, as rabbit has said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461319 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 17:19:45 +0000 merwoman 1461319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for weighing in!</p> <p>I did try a regular belt <b>Sveta</b>, but wasn't pleased with the stiffness of the belt next to the drapey pant. But I'll try a few more to see how it works. </p> <p>Good question regarding working it in the wardrobe <b>Rabbit</b>. Pretty well anything&nbsp;could go with it - I did try citron, black, navy - but I prefer the whites and creams...and I've got plenty of those. I think I could get away with no belt when the loops are covered (see pic below), otherwise, as you suggest maybe casual knot is best.</p> <p>Lots of quiche for all participants reveal to come later ....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461293 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 16:39:13 +0000 rabbit 1461293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! &nbsp; Does the color work well with your wardrobe/palette? &nbsp;I think it works with your tan arms and should work with most neutrals.</p> <p>re: the belt, I think a casual knot rather than a bow works best. &nbsp;Can you tuck it in? Or try it removed to see if you prefer that?</p> <p>re: the footwear I slightly&nbsp;prefer the nude d'orsays with the airer/lighter tops (tend to be thinner and more off-white). &nbsp;I slightly prefer the oxfords with the heavier weight material tops (sweater and jacket) as they tend to look a brighter white, but I think they can be interchanged.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Hmm... I don't know which you now prefer, but that quiche looks good.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461292 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 16:23:50 +0000 Sveta 1461292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! Nice camel color for spring summer. They work both with d'Orsay and oxfords IMO (my fave is oxfords)<br />Can you remove the belt completely and use the regular belt instead if needed? This is what I would do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sporty-luxe#post-1461288 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 16:05:32 +0000 merwoman 1461288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely ladies, you're probably not keeping track, but I am. This is my <b>third</b> post in one week! I hope I am not trying your patience, but I need your collective wisdom.</p> <p>Angie wrote about the sporty luxe becoming main stream, and I have proof. I bought a pair of trackish type pants - a complete wild card for me.</p> <p>I have three questions:</p> <p>1. Keep or return? Does it work?</p> <p>2. What do you do with the darn self fabric belt? I failed knot tying in Girl Guides (I was much more proficient in starting fires...another story) so I'm not sure what one is to do. A bow looks silly. Input appreciated.</p> <p>3. Footwear - dorsay flat or oxfords? I must admit I had a strong preference for ____ before I saw the pics. Then I changed my mind. If you can guess which style I now prefer there's a slice of spinach ricotta cheese quiche for you.</p> <p>Note gratuitous clutch pose...I know it's all about the pant, but couldn't resist a clutch shot. Sorry for rubbing salt in a wound&nbsp; Angie ;-)</p>
