And I would have said that the last pair were second best, except I hear from your report that this might be illusory. I wish it were easier to see with black. I think these are going to be a good purchase, anyway. The high waist will make them wearable with tops covering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1573182 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 00:28:47 +0000 Anonymous 1573182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to add my vote. &nbsp;The first pair looked best to me. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572981 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 15:21:03 +0000 Pat_P 1572981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the first pair looks the best - and that you look beautiful in them. I am envious of your curves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572968 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 14:53:10 +0000 Carole 1572968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote first pair also! The alteration to take in the waist shouldn't be to complicated. Then they'll be perfect.! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572956 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 14:21:14 +0000 Ginger 1572956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The consistent answers for #1 are VERY helpful, everyone.&nbsp; I guess I need to find someone to take in the waist, because I <i>loathe </i>doing that type of alteration myself. I do want it done. The pants sure aren't going to fall down, but the excess material in the back juts out and tops can get hung up on it.</p> <p>Thank you all especially for being patient with the black pictures. I adjusted these a lot and they still aren't very good for showing detail. The scuba pants were definitely the worst.</p> <p>I'm also surprised but fascinated by the "minority report" for #4. They are definitely the most like pants, but also had the poorest fit. The rise is the lowest, which is a consideration because the lower the rise = the least comfortable for me. <b>CocoLion</b> noticed the crotch bunching, which is a very typical problem for me. It's really only solved with bespoke pants, because I need extra depth in the back crotch. So while I like this direction, it would take a lot of work and expense and time; I'm not sure the cost/benefit is positive yet.</p> <p><b>kkards</b>, these are indeed all the same line. I did that on purpose for several reasons: (1) Plain leggings from this line fit me very well, and consistently and are quite good quality. (2) They have a wide assortment of sizes, including talls, which are very difficult to find consistently. (3) The price is very reasonable, and my budget is quite limited even for this hole. (4) I have reasonably high confidence of being able to replace any of these when they wear out, or when my weight falls and I need to size back down. </p> <p>And thank you all very, very much for the kind words about my extra curves. In happy news, it is finally a chilly morning here, and I will be wearing this awesome cozy item around the house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572944 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 13:45:26 +0000 unfrumped 1572944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 1 also.<br /> You look great, BTW!</p> <p>I need more hip camouflage so I have to wear with tush- cover and usually crotch coverage. I say that because then I look at the final effect with target linv too and the big features ard havin flattest front and a good " line" under and past the tunic or top. So my choices end up being very final- outfit specific, and I could see different choices if someone is wearing shorter or longer tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572931 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 13:18:24 +0000 kkards 1572931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>as other's have said, its hard with black to be 100% sure from pictures, but that being said, of those i think the second pair (#6-10) is the best fit. but honestly, if you can, i'd try other brands. (looks to me like all of these are the same brand, just different cuts, maybe i'm wrong) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572925 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 12:23:25 +0000 dakotacheryl 1572925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all...I am envious of your tiny waist and flat tummy!!</p> <p>I also prefer the first pair, and secondly the last pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572911 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 11:13:21 +0000 Maneera 1572911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the ponte shaping leggings fit the BEST. The don't look like leggings at all! You can actually wear them as pants - as the fit around the crotch and hips is brilliant! I won't worry about the lose waistband if the pants don't move down as you move. Test them out at home; wear them with long-ish tops and see how they fare. </p> <p>The next best are the scuba skinny pants. I like the fit of those too. I think they'd be perfect with long tops/short tunics. </p> <p>As for your curves - be proud girl! You have a beautiful, amazingly feminine shape with a teeny tiny waist. Your curves are in all the right places </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572896 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 08:41:54 +0000 Cococat 1572896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell in the pics but the first pair seems to be the most flattering even if they're a little big in the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572894 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 07:50:18 +0000 Brooklyn 1572894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skinnies are hard! I like the second pair the least. They look a little thin and too much like gear. The third pair is better but still a bit like gym gear. I like the first and the last. The first look like they fit you the best but I think the last look the most like pants, rather than leggings, if that's a priority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572891 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 07:20:03 +0000 CocoLion 1572891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pair look like they fit you very well, save for the loose waistband. &nbsp;Sometimes a loose waistband doesn't hurt, if the pants don't fall down. &nbsp;Can you test them out? &nbsp;If they fall down, it seems like a simple alteration to take in the waist. &nbsp;Without making it difficult to take the pants off, that is. </p> </p> <p>My second favorite -- the last ones with the pockets. I don't know what to do about the bunching at the crotch though. &nbsp;Probably means these should go back. &nbsp;But I wanted to note these as I think this style is moving in a good direction for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572886 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 06:48:01 +0000 Marley 1572886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always so hard to see (in pics) details of an item when it is in black - but, from what I can tell, I'd say the 1st pair - the ponte shaping legging looks the best to me. &nbsp;The scuba skinny pant and the textured skinny pant look too much like leggings or gear to me. &nbsp;And, the &nbsp;skinny ponte pants look as though the rise is too long for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-various-black-skinnies#post-1572859 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 03:44:06 +0000 Ginger 1572859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several weeks ago I asked for help with styling a long shirt/short tunic. I was uncertain about wearing it with just regular heavy leggings.&nbsp; Since then I've tried some things, and especially ordered a number of ponte leggings and/or skinny pants in Tall sizes. I've tried them on and taken pictures. Acceptable under short tunics or not? (Note: I am NOT interested in showing my back, so it's more what these look like from the front.) What's the best fit?</p> <p>This is complicated by my, um, lush curves. This was actually pretty humbling; I'm at my highest weight point right now, and I'm fully confronting it (and working on it). But even when I shed the excess, I will always be quite curvy. I think Suz said once, "Every pant on me is a skinny." On me, it's starting to look like every skinny is a legging!</p> <p>#1-5: ponte shaping legging. Nice high waist that is actually too big.<br />#6-10: scuba skinny pant. Hard to tell, but there are curving seamlines.<br />#11-15: textured skinny pant in a heavy knit with flat overlocked seams down center and back of each leg.<br />#16-20: skinny ponte pants. Has a real fly and back pockets. </p>
