I prefer that style or straight legs for my jeans, so it would make sense to look for the same style in non-jeans fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/non-jeans-trouser-suggestions-please#post-605880 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:13:51 +0000 Camilla K. 605880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Tanya: Thanks for the links - I do prefer the Editor style Maybe I could make them less business formal by wearing colourful tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/non-jeans-trouser-suggestions-please#post-605875 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:11:26 +0000 Camilla K. 605875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@mscooks: Thank you for your suggestion. I hadn't heard of palazzo pants, so I made a quick google image search; they seem very wide in the leg. I'm not very tall - would they work for me, do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/non-jeans-trouser-suggestions-please#post-603642 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:25:04 +0000 Kristin L 603642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't remember where I've seen them, but what about instead of looking for chinos or skinny pants, look for bootcut? I feel like my hips and thighs are too large for chinos and most skinny pants, but I fee like bootcut evens me out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/non-jeans-trouser-suggestions-please#post-603637 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:17:43 +0000 Tanya 603637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Camilla, and welcome!</p> <p>Since you are looking for something dressier for business casual, how about Columnist pants from Express? Angie has been recomending them a lot lately. If the fit is a bit too slim for you, than Editors might be a good option as they are cut looser through the thigh and hip area.</p> <p>Columnist: <a href="http://www.express.com/ultimate-double-weave-columnist-pant-31311-101/control/show/3/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/ultimat...../index.pro</a></p> <p>Editor: <a href="http://www.express.com/studio-stretch-wide-waistband-editor-pant-20052-101/control/show/3/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/studio-...../index.pro</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/non-jeans-trouser-suggestions-please#post-603635 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:16:21 +0000 mscooks 603635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Camilla</p> <p>Have you thought about trying a pair of palazzo pants? Thye're wide leg so should skim your hips/thighs and come in loads of different fabrics so you can choose what suits you. Jersey is obviously more casual but you can choose light cotton or chiffon if you're want more dressy looks... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/non-jeans-trouser-suggestions-please#post-603613 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:56:22 +0000 Camilla K. 603613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone! This is my first post here </p> <p>I'd like your suggestions for trousers that aren't jeans. Skirts aside, I've been wearing jeans for years, and I want to change it up and maybe look a little more business casual as well (instead of just casual). </p> <p>When I look in the stores, skinny chinos are everywhere, and they are not for my body type or taste. My hips and thighs are the widest parts of my body, so I'd like trousers that don't enhance those parts but instead add length. </p> <p>Please inspire me Thanks! </p>
