High-waist, wide leg bottoms ( with pleats!) can really work but I’ve found I need either just the right culotte type style OR a full length pant, and not TOO wide. I did not come across anything just right for summer, and that was ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851375 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 09:08:54 +0000 Jenni NZ 1851375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And Lisap, do you have a very fast wardrobe turnover? You always look very trendy but is that at the expense of a lasting wardrobe? Does everything only last a couple of years before you move on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851374 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 09:06:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 1851374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have said, always trying, that I don't think the black crops are a miss at all, I like that outfit the best of them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851358 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 04:51:45 +0000 Anonymous 1851358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in your wide legs. I need to wear mine more and promise to wear a pair tomorrow to a meeting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851355 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 04:46:32 +0000 Jenni NZ 1851355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is the Big City Carla? You keep saying that. Is it Toronto? I've only been to the airport there and the US border control officials were really awful... I was struggling on my own with 2 big suitcases ( in 2003) and they made me feel like a criminal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851330 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 02:21:42 +0000 Carla 1851330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the wide legs! FWIW, I AM seeing them in the Big City. Styled with flats with ankle straps, loafers, and booties (low heeled and short) and topped by full, swingy, short jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851302 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 01:12:21 +0000 binkle 1851302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>try a more fitted, or shorter top with the wide legs. Plus, with respect, I don't think it is a stupid trend. Not everything works for everyone. Bury me in my 20 year old Anne Klein wide legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851298 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 01:04:34 +0000 Anonymous 1851298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not into wide legs either . Which reminds me I *should* wear the pair of wide leg crops I bought last fall at least once this fall before giving up on them . Why do I fall for these stupid trends? That one did not last . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851251 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 21:56:30 +0000 bridgie 1851251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand what you are feeling.&nbsp; I too have a few wide leg pants, have worn them, but now I have a couple pairs of cargo pants and I reach for them over and over, kinda neglecting the wide legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maybe-not-purchase-mistakes-but#post-1851247 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 21:35:53 +0000 always trying 1851247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not calling my wide leg pants mistakes. Even though I have worn the olive ones3 times ant the beige ones 2 times, they will get a little more wear this fall. I just like wearing utility pants and cargos more.. Comments from photos welcome. The black crops are too short, and this outfit was a miss.. This was on a trip. This was a lesson in try before packing......... </p>
