You should practice "the rule of 5" from Angie's today post with these pants and post on the forum&nbsp; :-0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1463161 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 23:06:04 +0000 Anonymous 1463161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few pair of these and always wear them with a heel or wedge of some sort. &nbsp;For instance, I wear a pair of black drapey crepe ones with a high heeled sneaker wedge boot, and a pair of navy (also drapey) ones with pumps. &nbsp;I feel too short and dumpy when wearing them with flats because of the volume in the pant leg. &nbsp;A pair of army green khakis with a banded bottom will be worn with an open back bootie (high heeled). &nbsp;I don't tuck anything in . &nbsp;I like yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1463156 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 22:46:58 +0000 Keturah 1463156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can already see the improvement since you switched to a slouchier blouse! Slouchy pants definitely need a more fluid top. Keep everything fluid and relaxed.<div><br /></div><div>I had some trouble styling my harem pants &nbsp;when I got them last summer. I still don't like them on me for winter wear or paired with boots. But for summer wear with sandals, I adore them.Took some getting used to. But once I got the silhouette right, I swear they knocked 10-15 lbs off me visually!&nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1463153 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 22:38:10 +0000 Dimity 1463153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really hard to get used to this shape after not wearing this style for a while. I just bought some recently, and love how comfortable they are. I also realised that they need structure, so a bit of waist definition or rolled legs in my case. And I find that wearing a long straight boyfriend or maxi cardigan helps me get used to the extra fabric while slimming and elongating&nbsp;the look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1463151 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 22:33:56 +0000 Daria 1463151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole - just uploaded more styling attempts with drapey tops. Looking forward to seeing your WIWs this summer!<br />chadya - it's a tricky piece, isn't it? And I'm not ready&nbsp;to pay hefty amount for a trendy item either. I still expect some fun styling it, even if it's not my most flattering silhouette. :)<br />Style Fan -&nbsp;&nbsp;agree they would look good with denim jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1463145 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 22:27:08 +0000 Daria 1463145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>trekkiegirl - here are more photos with two different tops and booties. Do you think any those work better? Thanks for your help! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1463085 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:48:47 +0000 Style Fan 1463085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you.&nbsp; I just bought a pair myself.&nbsp; I wear them below my waist.&nbsp; I would wear a drapey top if I had one with me but I don't so I wear a simple T shirt and a denim jacket.&nbsp; </p> <p>They are so comfy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1462941 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:48:38 +0000 chadya 1462941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't found a pair that fit or flatter me yet or at a price I want to pay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1462915 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:38:24 +0000 Carole 1462915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just purchased the same pair, Daria. These seem like a great fit for you and will be a fun piece to play with. I agree that drapey tops seem to work well and I think a heeled sandal or ankle strap type shoe works well, too. I tried mine with a flat slip on and I liked that, too.</p> <p>Here's a link to my post on the forum with some pictures...</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-drapey-pantsjoggers" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ntsjoggers</a></p> <p>I love the pins that Sveta has collected..lots of ideas there.</p> <p>This will be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1462871 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 12:54:38 +0000 trekkiegirl 1462871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, they need to be a bit lower and need a more fluid top. You should try them on with one and post more pics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1462867 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 12:41:06 +0000 Daria 1462867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - thanks for the link, will be definitely checking it out! Yes, obviously it's a wild card for me as well; hoping to see your WIW featuring them this summer. :)<br />Firecracker - thank you, you are right that button-down was not the best top to go with them; it's what I happened to be wearing while trying them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1462775 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 03:57:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1462775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Daria those pants look great on you! I agree with Sveta, that a more relaxed top would look better with them than the crisp button-down that you are trying them with here. I think both shoes can work, though I have a preference for the green ones--it may be influenced by the top, though. I see in Sveta's pins that booties or sneakers can work just as well as pumps with this style of pant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1462737 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 01:40:30 +0000 Sveta 1462737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Daria, you are too sweet - thank you!)<br />I think they fit well. My preference would be to wear them lower than the waist for a bit of slouch. I also think that these pants look best with drapey tops - fluid fit sweaters, knit tops or soft blouses. The styling should be deliberate here. I started a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/svetaddd/track-pants/">Pinterest board</a> on them for inspiration for mine, hopefully it can be helpful to you as well.&nbsp;<br />We will learn how to style them together as they are my wild card for the season&nbsp;! :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-drapey-pants#post-1462730 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 00:59:48 +0000 Daria 1462730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you ladies think about these drapey pants? They are XS and I think they fit fine size-wise, but .. do I look like a clown (especially in combination with oxfords)? I remember Sveta's post where she demonstrated her BR pants, and while she had some reservations, I think do look awesome on her. Not sure at all about these pants and the look in general. My main fear is that being black, they would look like ill-fitting (and short) dress pants, especially if I try to style them up as I did on the photos.&nbsp;Also - are they supposed to sit on the waist or below? I initially put them a bit higher but DH (who looked quite intrigued :)) insisted that they should sit slightly lower. Any advice and opinions appreciated - thank you!</p>
