Although they are outside my comfort zone I’m in love with them. To be honest I’ve only worn them around the house so far as I gather the courage to wear them in public. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030185 Sat, 25 May 2019 11:09:39 +0000 Liesbeth 2030185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the second pair. They work with your ‘regular’ style as<br /> I see it. I have two pairs of wide legs (full length) and I still like them only as a switch up from my normal routine, so once in a while and typically with the same one or two tops. So it doesn’t have to be either a mistake or the herald of a new style season </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030179 Sat, 25 May 2019 10:50:02 +0000 Staysfit 2030179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great example of why I love YLF!

Apparently they've been selling well downtown so hopefully that's a good sign!<br /> Lisa, I'm hoping my eye will adjust ... We shall see ... It's definitely a very dramatic change ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030103 Fri, 24 May 2019 22:40:12 +0000 Anonymous 2030103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I like the Reitmans more too!

You look great! &nbsp;I have some cropped wide leg jeans I bought about 2 weeks ago and now can't bring myself to wear them. They fit perfectly, but I feel so huge in them ! &nbsp;Too late to return now, so I have to persevere..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030094 Fri, 24 May 2019 22:29:32 +0000 Laurie 2030094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following your quest and glad you are still searching. Agree with the short torso concerns with the first pair. You have such a great figure, no sense in wearing something that hits wrong.&nbsp; Happy hunting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030058 Fri, 24 May 2019 19:40:59 +0000 Sal 2030058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second ones look fab - and I saw Kate in crops and she looked good didn’t she. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030055 Fri, 24 May 2019 19:12:46 +0000 Cardiff girl 2030055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate wore a pair of wide crops to open her garden at Chelsea ,haven’t got time to find a photo at the moment but might be worth a look fo inspiration.l m really pleased to see you trying a new silhouette,good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030042 Fri, 24 May 2019 17:59:11 +0000 Helena 2030042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I wondered if I needed a size down ... I'll try the BR ones is a smaller size and see how the Reitmans ones go too.&nbsp; And thanks - wide legs have not hit my town yet, so I'll be downright avant-garde hehehe I did try the Gap ones you have recommended, and they were pretty good too, but a little more casual than I want - I'm hoping for a dress-up/dress-down style. Thanks so much for weighing in! </p> <p>Lesley, for sure - this top was not right for these ... I should have worn my white one to the mall today ... I like the semi-tuck idea too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030040 Fri, 24 May 2019 17:48:18 +0000 Angie 2030040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOOD JOB TRYING SOMETHING NEW, <b>Helena</b> :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the idea of the first pair, but those are not the ones. Too high and wide. I don't mind the tie at all. But you need something lower and sleeker.&nbsp;</p> <p>The second pair is much better! But do you need a size down?&nbsp;</p> <p>Tell hubs you are being MEGA trendy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030034 Fri, 24 May 2019 17:21:05 +0000 Lesley 2030034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these too! I would definitely do a half-tuck. (I think I just figured out the ideal half-tuck. Leave the shirt out, zip the pants, then grab the front of the shirt and just jam it in there. I used to tuck the whole thing and then untuck the back, and it definitely veered into trying-too-hard-to-make-it-work territory.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030027 Fri, 24 May 2019 17:03:54 +0000 Helena 2030027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sarah! I'll keep them in mind if the Reitman's ones don't work out - they are a little pricey at $124 - more than I'd like to put into test-driving a trend (although at BR so I'll keep my eye out for the inevitable sale). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030025 Fri, 24 May 2019 16:52:16 +0000 SarahD8 2030025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I like these!</p> <p>They're less dramatic for sure but so wearable. I like them with the stripey top and sneaks! Much more "Casual Kate" than the first pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030024 Fri, 24 May 2019 16:48:10 +0000 Helena 2030024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another pair? I ordered the Reitmans ones too. This is a mission now! DD was actually really disappointed that I returned the first pair lol. There's no pleasing some folks *facepalm* ... So o may try them again if some of these other ones don't work. Gap, HM, Zara ... All no gos. </p> <p>Thank you ALL so much ... Learned so much from this experiment if nothing else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030018 Fri, 24 May 2019 15:21:33 +0000 Lesley 2030018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You took the words out of my mouth, Suz. Take your daughter to a maternity ward and remind her what pregnancy looks like, because you look the opposite of that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2030002 Fri, 24 May 2019 14:39:05 +0000 Suz 2030002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before you rule them out entirely...I would say that camera angle may be tricking our eyes a bit here, emphasizing (that is, vastly exaggerating) the short torso effect. I do think these might be tough to wear but I also suspect they flatter you more than it might appear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2029998 Fri, 24 May 2019 14:15:19 +0000 Elizabeth P 2029998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Agree with the majority above... next!</div><div><br /></div><div>You'll find the right ones, these just aren't them.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants/page/2#post-2029993 Fri, 24 May 2019 14:00:20 +0000 smittie 2029993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with you that something with less rise will be more flattering.

Okay, so here's what I've come up with: <ul> <li>these pants are going back</li> <li>look for something with a similar vibe but the following changes: flatter front, lower rise, possibly cropped</li> </ul> I've seen a possible contender at Gap - navy (go figure!) with a pinstripe, which might flatten out my tummy a little. H&amp;M has a very similar chambray pair but with a bit more drape and no pleats, which might help too. More news to follow - thank you ALL for your honest, kind and infinitely helpful input xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants#post-2029956 Fri, 24 May 2019 12:30:38 +0000 nemosmom 2029956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You definitely do not look pregnant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wide-pants#post-2029955 Fri, 24 May 2019 12:27:29 +0000 Liesbeth 2029955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a rare person that can make tie waist pants look good to me (though I love them on the rack, go figure), so I’m with the no-bow yes-widelegs people.

Keep trying though because I think the style could look really nice on you. </p>
