It is hard to see on the screen so I was hoping somebody seen them IRL...<br /> Definitely no flares / bootcuts for me from December until March - in any color or shade. Too much snow and slush!<br /> I would wear my white jeans now too - if I had them...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742795 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:25:50 +0000 Angie 742795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my white jeans with cream snake skin booties TODAY. With denim shirt, blush moto, and oversized red and white animal print clutch.</p> <p>Zap, I would wear a cream le smoking in a heartbeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742788 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:10:06 +0000 Aida 742788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also on the lookout for winter white trousers AND cream culottes! Like Angie, I'm looking for something slim so they can go into my boots. And in the meantime planning to continue wearing my white jeans. So uh I would also say "not crazy" but also maybe not wide leg </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742773 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:54:26 +0000 Anonymous 742773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. I actually had a pair of winter white high waisted tuxedo trousers that were my holiday staple. My mom brought them back from Germany, for my younger sister. She wore them to death then passed on to me. Sadly, they finally hit the hay. These might be impractical for heavy rotation but I still adore them. They would be a great addition to a year end holiday/ new year capsule. I might grab a pair, as a matter of fact!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742766 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:42:48 +0000 Angie 742766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I have been looking for Winter white trousers for two years. I have lots of cream outerwear, footwear and handbags - and I live an urban life in wet Seattle. Come on! This makes total sense to me </p> <p>These look like light tan/stone trousers though - not Winter White or cream. </p> <p>And I do want a tapered leg on my Winter white trousers when I get them. At least I can be practical about that part. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742712 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 16:52:08 +0000 Sveta 742712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping up as I would really like to see Angie's opinion...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742553 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:45:35 +0000 bj1111 742553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sveta, it's not you, it's the pant. this pear with a tummy totally gets it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742552 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:44:04 +0000 Sveta 742552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JJsloane, I really like this - note how her hair echoes the belt and the bag!<br /> Sara, as a fellow pear I now you would understand </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742535 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:12:54 +0000 MNsara 742535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the idea of a winter white (or this Warm Stone might be a little greyed) sounds elegant! I picture them all drapey and soft maybe something St John-like</p> <p>I know you've had great success with the Editors, so it's probably moew efficient to alter their legs to suit you rather than start a straight leg search for new brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742533 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:12:22 +0000 Jjsloane 742533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the ad (I actually even like the fur vest and that's not one of my things)</p> <p><a href="http://www.michaelkors.com/p/MICHAEL-Michael-Kors-MICHAEL-Michael-Kors-Fur-Vest-Skinny-Jeans-Hamilton-Large-Tote-FALL-CATALOG-2012/prod19160003_cat36501_cat102_/?index=0&#038;isEditorial=false&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat102cat36501" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelkors.com/p/M.....02cat36501</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742525 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:53:15 +0000 Sveta 742525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim got it completely right why I want to taper these trousers if I get them: flares are impossible to wear here in winter and it is difficult to find well fitting trousers for me. Express Editors fit me really well but the only not flared trousers they have are cropped and this is not what I am after.<br /> Jjsloane, this combination sounds divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742514 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:22:47 +0000 Karie 742514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love winter white pants - they look fantastic with just about any color, and I wouldn't taper the legs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742502 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:50:05 +0000 Jjsloane 742502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea. I saw a Michael Kors ad that made me want to wear white pants, white turtleneck chunky sweater and cognac belt and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742497 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:42:53 +0000 Kim 742497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it! I completely understand why they need to be straight legs, and if the top portion of the Editors fits you well, then you can get exactly what you want/need and that's a perfect fashion solution!</p> <p>I don't wear bootcuts from about December to April because of the snow, slush, rain, salt too. It's simply not a good idea if you do any walking (and you walk to work, right?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742486 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:04:10 +0000 Mochi 742486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't understand why you would want to buy these just to alter them so dramatically. May as well look for a pair of straight-leg trousers then, right? You'd look great in these, I agree. Just save then for the other three seasons! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742384 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 04:38:53 +0000 Deborah 742384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta what stunning trousers! I love them, can't speak to them being suitable for your climate, but I wouldn't alter them. The leg line is gorgeous and would look amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742381 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 04:22:00 +0000 Sveta 742381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, I would not even consider dry clean only light trousers - here is that practicality to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742380 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 04:20:32 +0000 JAileen 742380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well at least they're machine washable, so you won't waste a lot of money at the dry cleaners! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742379 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 04:18:40 +0000 Sveta 742379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the support, ladies!<br /> Sarah, I am so practical it is ridiculous but somehow it does not help here:-( Slush and salt? Come on, I live in snow belt of Ontario, we have LOTS of those here. I guess Toronto does not get as much but I don't live there...<br /> The only way I can wear them in winter is tucked into my snow boots until I get to work and then change into shoes or booties there. That's why flares will not work for me at all, it is either straight legs or nothing...<br /> Oh well, I think I just need to get over them like over a flu </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742378 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 04:17:52 +0000 Girl X 742378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love white in cold weather winters! I used to have a pair of light taupe boots that were low contrast with white, so I could wear white skinnies and tuck into those if I was going to be running around, but I've been okay wearing trousers or boot cuts with pumps or ankle boots when I'm just going from the house to the car/car to a restaurant etc. Though I tend to keep my hems slightly higher than the preferred YLF length, so that probably helps a bit as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742371 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:52:45 +0000 Mo 742371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree tapering the leg would be a shame. Love them as is for your long legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742368 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:50:14 +0000 Parsley 742368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you're losing your mind, Sveta!<br /> I can imagine those pants working very well with your dramatic, high-contrast style.<br /> Practical? Well, probably not. But they could definitely look striking on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742367 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:46:58 +0000 Mo 742367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear my white jeans in winter in Tahoe in the snow - but I tuck them into boots. Not sure on a trouser vs a thicker jean in the cold, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742360 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:34:56 +0000 cheryl 742360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them but it would break my heart to see that gorgeous flare turned into a straight leg, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742352 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:21:49 +0000 Suz 742352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you are a styling genius, so I have no doubt you are NOT nuts. </p> <p>Having said that, I will be watching you carefully for instructions because I am trying to figure out how or whether my white jeans could ever get any wear in winter. MAYBE tucked into my cognac timberlands, I am thinking. Otherwise? Not with my life style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742351 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:20:15 +0000 sarah 742351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine it with the salt, to be honest, but maybe they don't use as much salt so that things don't get quite as dirty/slushy in Toronto as in Mpls?</p> <p>I'm sure you'd look fab in winter white...</p> <p>ETA: bear in mind that one of my 5 fashion adjectives is "practical" : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-i-am-loosing-my-mind#post-742347 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:18:04 +0000 Sveta 742347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>..but I am considering white trousers for fall / winter. Are they practical for Canadian climate? No. Do I need them? Maybe not. So why do I think of them?<br /> I have my eye on the Express Editors:<br /> <a href="http://www.express.com/studio-stretch-wide-waistband-editor-pant-50606-1081/control/show/3/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/studio-...../index.pro</a><br /> If I get them I would make them into straight leg so I can tuck them into winter boots and wear any heel height with them. I guess the color is off white but I may be wrong...<br /> Has anybody seen them IRL? Are they off white or more of light grey?<br /> Are they worth a try? And last but not least - am I completely nuts thinking about them? </p>
