I like them styled both ways. I'm sorry to hear about Covid in NZ. These are strange, difficult times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254281 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 12:14:26 +0000 Helena 2254281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these Sal, they look so fresh, especially with the white sneaks! I think booties will look great and like Angie's note about a higher shaft so it's a clean line. Definitely tucked or semi-tucked to showcase the belt! </p> <p>Sending love to you and NZ xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254260 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 05:21:07 +0000 Zaeobi 2254260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I checked it again on another monitor &amp; it does indeed look more brown than yellow now - different screens can change our perceptions too! </p> <p>As for tucking, have you also considered a half tuck? Just a little tuck at the front, then pulling the sides straight down to create a 'curved' shape (rather than a straight tuck) might feel more comfortable to you? (Again just spitballing, as a fellow hourglass pear) </p> <p>HK was also doing well but not so much anymore (we had single digit cases in January but now... well, I can't keep up anymore, lol...) They're introducing mandatory testing for *all* of HK at the end of this month, so we're now going through *another* round of people buying up *all* the groceries &amp; toilet paper... Ughh. My commiserations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254196 Mon, 07 Mar 2022 20:41:29 +0000 Sal 2254196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz, I wore them again yesterday with the blouse below.&nbsp; It is fun to experiment with a different silhouhette.</p> <p>Stylefan - yes the colours are right up your alley!!&nbsp; I am definitely tending to warm colours now whereas I used to get away with cooler ones as well.</p> <p>Thanks about the commiseration.&nbsp; NZ has a very high vaccination rate and was prepared, but there will be some very sad situations, and there is some awful behaviour by some groups.&nbsp; No more to be said!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254190 Mon, 07 Mar 2022 20:04:27 +0000 Style Fan 2254190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants, Sal! I can see these pants working with so much in your wardrobe. The colour looks fabulous on you. Both the tucked and untucked versions work, but I slightly prefer the tucked version.&nbsp; Great colour combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254177 Mon, 07 Mar 2022 16:36:36 +0000 Suz 2254177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, nice pants! They have a lovely drape. I like both versions, untucked being a bit more casual. I like them with sneakers. I think you can certainly wear them with the right ankle boot. Do they work with your pale blue jacket, too?&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sorry about what is going on in NZ now. It's awful -- we are just now coming out of it (at least for now) up here and things are beginning to open up a bit (for the time being). I hope you stay well. The good news is that your population is highly vaxxed so the illness should not in most cases be as severe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254009 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 22:40:18 +0000 Sal 2254009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Zaeobi - yes I am a pear/hourglass with my thighs being the widest but with square shoulders.&nbsp; The brown is a mid brown - and the top is a terracotta/burnt orange.&nbsp; And funny how our eye can adjust!</p> <p>Thank you Aurore, Star, Blue Jay and Suntiger!</p> <p>Brooklyn - I am going to experiment with a couple of belts (I am looking out for some new ones actually) and different tops too.&nbsp; And boots once it cools down a bit..</p> <p>Bijou - thanks.&nbsp; Yes WA and NZ have taken similar approaches to Omicron... the surge is on here and there is some strain in medical, testing and supply chain.&nbsp; Wishing WA all the best.</p> <p>Robin - I can relate as I never used to tuck...</p> <p>Jenni - thanks.&nbsp; There is plenty of room in the crotch but I can see how it looks that way.&nbsp; If anything there is a little too much room in the rise which might be leading to those horizontal lines.&nbsp; I will check on the next wear.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254008 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 22:22:43 +0000 Sal 2254008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy!</p> <p>Sally - pleased you avoided it...my son in the South Island has it now.&nbsp; He's been feverish and sick, but not at a worrying level thankfully.</p> <p>Thanks Angie - I don't have a white bag, I agree it would be fresher than the brown.&nbsp; And thanks for the healing thoughts.</p> <p>Jaime - tucked for the win!!</p> <p>Firecracker - it's amazing how the eye can change.&nbsp; I have to be cautious and wouldn't tuck this if they were high contrast.&nbsp; Sure you could carry it off though.</p> <p>Joy - its a mid brown - not cool but not warm.&nbsp; It is a relatively easy colour for me to mix in.&nbsp; If I wear a black top I would wear a black belt I think.</p> <p>SlimCat - I am a big orange fan - whether burnt orange/rust or coral - one of my favourite colours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254006 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 21:30:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 2254006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, I hate to be the first one to mention it…but aren’t they pulling at the crotch quite a lot in both pics? I know several Fabbers have decided they will just live with that in pants but wanted to check you were OK with it. I thought perhaps it is a fit issue? Other than that they suit you really well both ways, tucked and untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2254005 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 21:17:55 +0000 Anonymous 2254005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color combo- and I'm voting for the tucked version too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253982 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 17:30:35 +0000 BlueJay 2253982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So tough for the last two years! Hang in there! Yes, outfit labs for escapism! :)</p> <p>I like your pants and how versatile they are with lots of choices. My preference is tucked, but untucked is fine too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253980 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 16:58:33 +0000 Star (Lise) 2253980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these pants.&nbsp; They look fresh, and look like they are going to be very versatile.&nbsp; I like the tucked version most, looks flattering to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253965 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 13:35:11 +0000 RobinF 2253965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pants! I agree they look good with the sneakers and could see them with boots too for colder days. I am an outlier and prefer the top untucked, BUT I am extremely biased because I don't tuck! :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253959 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 11:43:04 +0000 Bijou 2253959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, I love the pants on you. Lace up cognac boots are going to be fab. I had a wonderful pair years ago and they went with everything. Last year I was able to find another pair and they too are workhorses.</p> <p>As for Covid - We have opened up too and are in for a tough few months and winter….. The only positive thing from this pandemic is that we realise how much of a global community we are and how we need to look out for everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253957 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 10:45:28 +0000 Brooklyn 2253957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely Sally. I prefer tucked. I’d experiment with different tops. I think they’d look great with a wrap top or sleeveless top. Something with a little more drape/fluidity. Also, you could try leaving off the belt or substituting the belt for a leather belt. I think they will work well with tall ankle boots. But the sneaks are good too. Modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253954 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 09:33:45 +0000 Aurore 2253954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those trousers look fab on you! I like both outfits, with a slight preference for the tucked one : global proportions look at least as flattering as the untucked version, and it showcases the nice belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253951 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 09:01:59 +0000 Zaeobi 2253951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting colour - the pants are sort of a yellowish brownish khaki green? They work well on you though, &amp; with the reddish top (in my mind *that's* clay, but it's probably more ' terracotta ' or 'brick red' instead...) </p> <p>You have a similar body shape to me (pear-hourglass) &amp; so I can understand your qualms about tucking in - but it doesn't look too short on you at all! From personal experience, it just takes a little getting used to seeing yourself that way - I never used to tuck in my tops (especially not fully) but now you can't stop me lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253945 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 06:48:18 +0000 slim cat 2253945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions with slight preference for tucked one - pretty color on you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253933 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 05:04:19 +0000 Anonymous 2253933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions although they are different. &nbsp;Also short waisted, I like to use a belt about the same color as the top so that if looks like the waist is lower. &nbsp;The color of the pants sort of bookends your hair in the photos. Nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253930 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 03:51:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2253930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>The new trousers are fab! I like the top both ways. <br /></div><div>I have a short-ish torso also, and I haven't fully tucked shirts for ages, either, myself, so I can empathize with the odd feeling. Gotta say it looks great on you, though!<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253921 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 02:35:41 +0000 Jaime 2253921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tucked version! I like untucked too but would not say it is more trendy than the other. Great pants in any case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253914 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 01:09:32 +0000 Angie 2253914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute new pants, <b>Sal</b>! Both versions look fab to my eye, and your torso does not look short with a tucked top. LOVE the white sneaks! Do you have a white bag?</p> <p>I can see them work well with high shaft ankle boots.</p> <p>Hang in there with the omicron surge. We were there a few months ago and it has passed. Infections in the US are way, way down for a change. Stay safe!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sally,</b> sending healing thoughts your way.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253910 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:58:49 +0000 Sally 2253910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the tucked version.&nbsp; You can't be as short waisted as I am. I think you could wear them either way.&nbsp; <br />yes, the omicron situation is a bit dire.&nbsp; My son got it but even though I was his nursemaid, he had been hugging me, even threw his covid bedsheets at me (yes a teenage boy joke), I tested negative on day 10.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253909 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:29:07 +0000 rachylou 2253909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that colour on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-trousers-for-february#post-2253898 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 20:59:11 +0000 Sal 2253898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>NZ has been late to the Covid surge but we are amidst it right now.&nbsp; I don't want to dwell on the state of the world but it is oppressive.</p> <p>I always keep an eye on NZ Label Tuesday label - they are more known for dresses and my pink and white shirt dress, an older spotted shift dress and my two piece black floral are all their designs.&nbsp; The last couple of seasons the pieces haven't appealed to me as much- but the recent drop did and I have purchased these clay coloured trousers.&nbsp; They are a suiting fabric - not wool - but will be warm enough for 95% of winter days here.</p> <p>My first wear today - trying to decide whether to tuck or not.&nbsp; They are quite high waisted and I am quite short in the torso - but my eye has adjusted a bit.&nbsp; I think untucked is more flattering but tucked is more trendy?&nbsp; They feel like a bit of a stretch - I haven't worn trousers with pleats for a while.&nbsp; They do feel a bit similar to some trousers I wore about 1990.....( or a little bit Elaine from Seinfeld).</p> <p>I will do an outfit lab with them - wondering how they will look with ankle boots?&nbsp; I quickly tried them with a couple of options before taking off the tags.&nbsp; The finds below are some things I think could work with them.&nbsp; I also will experiment a bit with the length.</p> <p>I plan for them to be a work piece - I was considering a work midi dress for winter but in reality trousers and jeans are easier for me in the rainy wet winters we have - in my line of work in an engineering facility.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>This year I have added two pieces - the fawn knit linen top and these trousers.&nbsp; I am still considering cognac lace up boots, a new sweater and some sort of coat but haven't purchased them yet.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks in advance and footwear advice is most welcome.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
