My favorite jean silhouette of the moment in cream and blue denim. For summer, I have two linen pairs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349894 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 06:12:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2349894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been wearing them for years and was happy to see them become more mainstream. I have felt, like Janet, that they are timeless. I have winter and summer versions. In winter, I wear them with booties, so my ankles are covered and warm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349889 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 03:15:32 +0000 Zaeobi 2349889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm now I'm wondering what the difference is in all these names for barrel/ balloon/ lantern/ horseshoe/ harem pants? Are we all talking about the same curved silhouette in bottoms (that then tapers at the ankles), but just in different fabrications? </p> <p>Or is this just the latest marketing term, like how 'yoga pants' got rebranded as 'flared leggings' to appeal to the next generation of trendsetters? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349443 Thu, 11 Jan 2024 00:29:28 +0000 Anonymous 2349443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantern Pants have been around for some time they widen out then go back in at the foot. &nbsp;I think they are a variation of wide pants that will stay around. I like them. &nbsp;They add structure to the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349337 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 02:01:00 +0000 Aquamarine 2349337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie and Jaime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349335 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 01:58:53 +0000 Jaime 2349335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with all of the above - wear them with confidence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349329 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 01:22:50 +0000 Angie 2349329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ABSOLUTELY in. Lantern shapes are like barrel or balloon silhouettes. I wear mine a lot!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349328 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 01:05:02 +0000 Aquamarine 2349328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all…you’ve reassured me. I’d look for a light fabrication for sure. Seems like they’d be comfortable in our hot, humid summers during the times I want/need to wear pants instead of a dress or shorts. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349325 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 00:42:18 +0000 Style Fan 2349325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have also seen lots of horseshoe jeans on Instagram, which have a similar silhouette to lantern pants.&nbsp; I have a pair of balloon jeans that I wear in the warmer months and I plan to keep wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349289 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:32:28 +0000 Janet 2349289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these pants of mine are similar to a lantern silhouette, and I find them unique enough to be timeless rather than trendy. Depending on styling of course. I love these so much, I actually duplicated the denim pair in black technical fabric — they should be good for nearly year-round wear and I dress them up or down easily. They’ve been a fantastic alternative to jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349286 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:29:32 +0000 Suz 2349286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Carla said. I think the shape is especially fab for summer and summer weight fabrications.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349284 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:20:11 +0000 Carla 2349284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of cropped lantern pants in linen that are a summertime favourite. &nbsp;They aren’t an entirely new spantsmsilouhette, but they&nbsp;<i>are&nbsp;</i>having a fashion moment. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I think conventional styling was to pair them with tunic-like tops or draped layers, whereas a more modern look it with shorter or cropped tops..</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349274 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 18:22:35 +0000 Linda 2349274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a pair of Eileen Fisher ponte lantern pants two summers ago and have worn them a lot! I think they are still in style and highly recommend them! I would not recommend ponte for the summer but there are many styles available in lighter weight fabrics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349261 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 16:46:20 +0000 Anonymous 2349261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love my harem pants, so same sort of shape. Saw a lot on line just now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349258 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 16:13:51 +0000 rachylou 2349258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like anything goes these days. I’m sure they would be cute! I suppose the question is how easy it would be to find a pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349257 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 15:56:25 +0000 Jules 2349257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not totally sure what lantern pants are! But, am seeing a LOT of horseshoe jeans in my instagram feed. I feel like dramatic pants are in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lantern-pants-2024#post-2349253 Tue, 09 Jan 2024 15:30:38 +0000 Aquamarine 2349253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eye has gotten used to lantern pants and I’m wondering if they are still “in” for 2024. I’d consider a pair for spring/summer, maybe slightly cropped or ankle length. It seems like they’d be comfortable in warmer weather, depending on the fabrication of course.</p> <p>Or did I miss the boat on this trend? </p>
