Meant to address my comments to Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-392062 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:38:34 +0000 Kate 392062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, they definitely don't look ridiculous on you, but you are way better looking than those pants are. So I would vote nay, and have you look for a pair that does your adorable figure justice. BTW, killer arms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391982 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 15:49:51 +0000 morethanbeige 391982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, big kuddos for trying something new. It always takes me more *trying* when I am going for a new silhouette. Keep trying. You will find the perfect ones for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391915 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:33:07 +0000 Janet 391915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, not ridiculous at all, but I think the combination of cut, fabric, and color is not the most flattering on you. I can see how they *almost* work, so I don't think they miss the mark by a huge margin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391914 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 10:16:20 +0000 Sveta 391914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, believe me, I tried - but pants are not her strength!:-)<br /> Aunty thanks, this is some consolation.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391901 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 07:15:21 +0000 Aunty 391901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta! Those are not for you, but I have seen you take your wide leg trousers to the 9th degree of fabulous. Trousers are for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391849 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:55:23 +0000 MNsara 391849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - your mom does such incredible sewing and tailoring, have you already thought about having her create a pair for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391842 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:44:09 +0000 Sveta 391842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I feel now that finding any pair of pants or jeans which fits well is too much work. This particular item of clothing is my biggest pain.<br /> Sara, I am afraid black or dark ones would be too high contrast for my legs in this style.<br /> Jonesy, thanks for the moral support. Nothing (shopping wise) depresses me as much as pants and jeans shopping. Maybe I should stick with dresses and skirts for sanity sake...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391824 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:12:06 +0000 Jonesy 391824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, it's not you, it's the pants!! Very few women would look great in these particular pants. Ditto what Sara said about looking for darker or black ones, and ones with a higher rise like Angie suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391812 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:06:01 +0000 MNsara 391812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see they are going back. If you already owned them, I bet you could make them work by playing up the funky slouch and rolled legs. </p> <p>You might find that slouchy in black or dark works better for you. I feel the black/darkness makes it harder to pick out every fit detail </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391772 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:41:44 +0000 Lisa 391772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry these pants did not work. But don't give up. If you love the look you will find a pair that work for you. Maybe they need more slouchyness to exaggerate the look? </p> <p>I looked for cargo pants for my pear shape for over a year. So many had bulging pockets, and they sit right where I don't need them to sit as a pear shape. I finally found a pair, on a clearance rack, at AT. What a hunt it was! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391769 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:39:59 +0000 Sveta 391769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, thanks for your help. These will go back.<br /> I guess this is the end of my try on slouchy pants - I think I am not designed for this style...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391758 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:28:51 +0000 modgrl 391758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a fan of light colored pants in general... I'm not excited about the rear view on these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391753 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:26:14 +0000 rae 391753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm. Not a fan of the rear view on these - they do not do you justice. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391748 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:22:45 +0000 Kappy 391748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't look ridiculous, but I'd keep looking for a better pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391747 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:21:28 +0000 Freckles 391747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a fan at all of this particular pair Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391741 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:17:18 +0000 Jonesy 391741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they look ridiculous at all! You know, I think it's the color more than the fit that is giving me pause. I think the black ones, worn with a black or low-contrast top, with a jacket over the top would be fab! Just my two cents :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391715 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:57:29 +0000 sarah 391715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, they just seem so-so to me, not up to your usual outstanding style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391708 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:49:51 +0000 annagybe 391708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really want to like these but they're not doing you any justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391702 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:41:10 +0000 Angie 391702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they would have looked better with a higher rise and waistband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391699 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:37:39 +0000 Sveta 391699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What would we do without this option, Kyle...Thanks for your opinion. I like the idea but maybe this style is not for curvy on the bottom gals... I bet they would look better on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391696 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:32:26 +0000 Kyle 391696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants really emphasize how small you are on top, Sveta. That makes me wonder about them in terms of the proportions. They are not bad, not at all, but I just do not think they are fab enough for you. Pants are so tricky and I confuse myself sometimes with the evaluation process. Aren't you glad we can come here and ask for second opinions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-pleated-pants-does-it-look-ridiculous-om-me#post-391687 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 00:51:32 +0000 Sveta 391687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to try some new pants styles for some time now. So far nothing really worked for me. I have ordered these pants in GAP:<br /> <a href="http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=61073&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=848964" rel="nofollow">http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse.....pid=848964</a></p> <p>Well, they do not look like this on me and I am not sure about them at all. They are a low contrast with my skin and a bit tapered. They are too short as is but they pass rolled up with heels. Waist should be taken in and pockets sewn shut if I keep them - but I don`t know if I should...<br /> Please be honest!<br /> TIA! </p>
