I did pic 1 to try to show the hem width.<br /> It is not the environmental norm here. And I still love straight and slightly tapered osnts and bootcuts. In fact due to fit issues I've moved toward keeping " the best"of any of these I have acquired, and adapting tops &amp; footwear, because PANTS ARE HARD but they are the mainstay for me.<br /> So I decided these earned a place because of the total package with the lovely fabric, neutral color, long pants not as attention- grabbing even if wider( maybe!), easy to add an ankle boot and go.<br /> I still like the Topshop ones and could have kept those for " fun" but am not enjoying wardrobe bloat with little- worn items, so let them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1757426 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 12:49:55 +0000 Anonymous 1757426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are absolutely FABULOUS, FABULOUS pants.&nbsp; I liked them so much I drove to Nordstrom to try them on.&nbsp; You were right the fabric weight was perfect for my climate.&nbsp; Even though the fabric was wool, it felt great against my skin.&nbsp; I loved the waist line.&nbsp; I thought the pleats were nearly imperceptible.&nbsp; </p> <p>However, seeing myself in a pant <u>so voluminous</u> was shocking.&nbsp; I decided I needed some time for my eye to adjust.&nbsp; I noticed that the pants I tried on were far more voluminous in the lower leg than those shown on the mannequin.&nbsp; I wondered if the pants on the mannequin had been altered somewhat? They looked so graceful on the mannequin.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>You look beyond gorgeous in yours.&nbsp; I so look forward to seeing more and more pictures of you wearing these slacks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1757357 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 02:52:08 +0000 Jaime 1757357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1757354 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 02:47:36 +0000 Suz 1757354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful elegant trousers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1757338 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 01:54:02 +0000 unfrumped 1757338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have added a couple of pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756958 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 01:57:46 +0000 Anonymous 1756958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tropical weight wool is perfect for me. &nbsp;Thank you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756912 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 23:33:43 +0000 em 1756912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Unfrumped</b>, Oh, I agree about the versatility of fine pinstripes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756904 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 23:09:38 +0000 unfrumped 1756904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, they are unlined, and tropical weight IMO. I will have to wear an under layer when true winter is here though knee socks, booties and a warm top layer might do the trick. I will be able to wear indoors in S/S ( maybe would skip August!) with the right seasonal supporting act. I like these sort of faint pinstripe wools because a pale gray or blush or pastel top or jacket ties in and works in warmer weather, as does lighter colored footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756891 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 22:08:21 +0000 Anonymous 1756891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are beyond gorgeous. &nbsp;Are they perchance a summer weight wool? &nbsp;Or a true winter wool? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756879 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 21:21:30 +0000 Emily K 1756879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute with the high, paper-bag waist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756863 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 20:30:45 +0000 unfrumped 1756863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gradfash, IKWYM. I target pants like this just for tucking, really. Most of my pants are one or the other and most are no- tuck. One could wear a sort of cropped top but usually for me, the "right" lengths will show midriff when moving about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756861 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 20:21:29 +0000 gradfashionista 1756861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing. I'm tempted to try the second par but will have to investigate the inseam length. Looking forward to seeing your pics, post-hem. </p> <p>I bought a wool/cashmere/silk/spandex pair in black from Kit &amp; Ace back in April and they have held up marvelously. They are washer machine and dryer friendly, too. </p> <p>The one downside to this style is that it's hard to wear shirts/sweaters untucked because of the ballooning effect, like in the second photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756815 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 18:29:35 +0000 Joyce B 1756815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like great pants for the colder season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-full-length-pleated-pants-instead-of-crops#post-1756798 Sat, 03 Dec 2016 17:44:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1756798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look really chic.

For me it's the best style for tucking in tops.</p> <p>ETA added some tryon pics, with the self belt and a leather belt. I used a medium thick sweater to use something light to show up the pants better;the "best" look is with a thin and not too voluminous top but for mid-winter I will wear something warmer.</p> <p>I think if using an alternative to the self-belt, I maybe try one of my skinnier belts since, due to the "paper bag" style, the loops are actually below my waist. That makes it not as good for contrast belt because something is lost in legline. Interesting how that affects the proportions--I max out with 1.5-2" heel so can't get the super long-leg wide pant look of high heels. Pant hems are just folded under, so look a little bulky at hem. </p>
