I had a hard time styling them because of the extreme transition from baggy to tight in the calf. But they were very comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790216 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:48:25 +0000 annagybe 790216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love harem pants, I even have harem jeans. But I don't think these work. I don't like how they drape on non-wrap hip.</p> <p>May I suggest these.

I think there are a lot of stylish possibilities. But I'm still voting return. You look so unhappy in them, your DH doesn't like them, and you don't seem confident in your purchase. And this was a pricey purchase! If you're going to go out of your comfort zone and try new things, that's great, but you should still feel good and happy and supported about it. Find yourself some trousers that make you smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790172 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:14:19 +0000 Tina.b 790172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for the wonderful and honest advice. I'm surprised that there is not a consensus as to what I should do. I'm not a huge fan of harem pants for myself in general, but I was very intrigued by the wrap panels on front and back. I do worry about the widening effect this style creates for me. In conjunction with them being one size too large, I fear that it isn't my most flattering look. But I do sometimes forego a bit of flattery for the sake of fashion.</p> <p>Tina, what you said about being in love with the idea of the pants really resonated with me.</p> <p>Inge thank you for sharing all those styling links, you are just brilliant. I may try them on again with my black leather moto and see if I am reinspired. They do look amazing on the women in those photos.</p> <p>Una, you look fantastic in your pair, they are quite similar to mine.</p> <p>I'm wondering if this style is just not the right fit for my shape. I have a long torso, but my natural waist is fairly high. And I'm fairly straight. I will ponder this decision a bit more. Thank you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790098 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:41:03 +0000 JR 790098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't look like you feel wonderful in them.</p> <p>I am not a great fan of harem pants, although these are nicer than most I've seen. Having said that, I see them with a loose, scoop-neck tank with pleats along the neckline (is that a Greek neckline?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790084 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:23:29 +0000 Suz 790084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them. I love the printed ones, too. But...if the size isn't right and the alteration would be difficult (though...WOULD it be so difficult if they are elastic waist?) then perhaps these are not your perfect ones. </p> <p>Inge, as usual, has fab suggestions for styling. </p> <p>But...you have to know you'll wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790074 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:13:59 +0000 Deborah 790074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love them! I think they look fabulous on you. These are fashion forward to my eye and they look amazing with the second pair of footwear. I like Inge's suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790052 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 21:00:47 +0000 Anonymous 790052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of harem pants but I think for he money you would want them to be perfect. Since they are hot now you should be able to dial in on a better pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790050 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:58:29 +0000 catgirl 790050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Inge, I really like these! But you have to own them, as they are a bit off the beaten path. I have a simliar (much less nice) pair from ASOS. I wore them like this:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-business-style" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ness-style</a></p> <p>It may be that this is not your pair, but it's a pretty wearable style and you can find the right one for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790049 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:57:34 +0000 Diana 790049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea but I don't like the execution, I'm afraid. I suspect it's a function of the fabric type and they're not draping right. Also, I'm not a fan of elastic waists at all, sorry. These would be much better with a real waistband or a gathered, belted waistband.</p> <p>So, return but don't give up on the style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790046 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:47:34 +0000 Inge 790046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love these trousers and don't think they look horrible on you at all. I like them more when the top blousons a bit more over the trousers, as in picture two.</p> <p>Here are a few ideas for top silhouettes to pair them with:<br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417184011421/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417184011421/</a></p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417183544157/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417183544157/</a></p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417184721870/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417184721870/</a></p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417184591614/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417184591614/</a></p> <p>Adding a cropped leather or denim jacket or a cropped blazer will also work methinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790045 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:45:55 +0000 cciele 790045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of the pants but seems like you have some doubts. For a purchase like that I personally need to love the item without hesitation.

On the model as well as on you. I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790028 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:13:38 +0000 Anonymous 790028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Return -- there are other pants out there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-790015 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:52:10 +0000 Tina 790015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would return. If you are unsure, plus your husband dislikes them, you will likely not wear them. I am not against investing in statement pieces but you need to feel very fab and confident in them in order to get mileage out of the pieces. It almost seems as though you are in love with the idea more than the pants themselves, you can correct me if I'm wrong:-)<br /> My thinking, and I think they have a name for it here on YLF- some kind of math name, is that you return these and use the 'credit' to find something that just works and you love.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-789992 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:17:05 +0000 Jules 789992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to note, the model seems to have some extra fabric/ weird fit issues in the inner thigh as well.<br /> These aren't my thing, in look or price, so I'm no help with your decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wrap-style-harem-pants#post-789978 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:04:03 +0000 Tina.b 789978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I desperately need advice on these because I only have one week left to return. I feel like these are the craziest things I've ever bought, the Rag and Bone wrap style pants. This is so beyond my normal comfort zone, but I fell in love with them in NY in the summer (they only had the printed ones). I said I would buy them if I ever found them in black. I searched everywhere and located them, and have only ever seen the black in one place (in Canada funnily enough). </p> <p>I'm normally a medium and I had to buy large as that was the only size left. So these are kind of too big, sliding down and I would need to get them altered. Here's a link to what they should look like. Of course, they are very lovely on the model.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ssense.com/women/product/rag_and_bone/black_rani_harem_wrap_pants/59933" rel="nofollow">http://www.ssense.com/women/pr.....ants/59933</a></p> <p>I've come to the conclusion that I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on a pair of elastic waist pants made of polyethylene. But in a crazy way I'm still enamoured with them, though I'm not exactly happy with the fit. You can see, they do a weird poking out in the inner thigh. My husband loathes them and he is generally really supportive about my clothing choices. My inclination is to return them.</p> <p>I need your honest advice. I tried a few different shoes, the final pics show some R&amp;B booties and Jimmy Choo stilettos. I think they need heels, but I'm open to styling suggestions. I can't even wrap my head around what the best top for them would be. Any advice would be so appreciated. </p>
