I'm grateful for your thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please/page/2#post-1887750 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 14:50:11 +0000 Angie 1887750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm here.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the colour of the pants with your hair, <b>Jenni</b>. Very complementary. They absolutely need a hack. Need to look more intentional at a shorter length. Can you fold the cuff over again?&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I like them best styled with the white mules and white top - #6. Add a scarf to that outfit. You need a longer top with the pants. The shorter tops don't work as well to my eye, but I think the pants can work.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please/page/2#post-1886673 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 18:18:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 1886673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, since you're on the forum today, would you mind giving some wisdom on what to do here, please? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1886162 Mon, 05 Feb 2018 08:09:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 1886162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheers everyone. I gave them another spin at work today as below but pearl earrings as in other pic below. That made 26 wears. I'm keen to know what Angie thinks before I look at altering them which I may do later this year as Sal suggests, for a "fresh pair of pants". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1886047 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 21:47:54 +0000 The Cat 1886047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure. They ARE leg-shortening. So if you keep them, I'll say: Don't wear them with coloured contrasting shoes, which also "steal" attention as well as length. Instead, wear grey or white shoes, which bookend your hair.</p> <p>The grey colour is great for you. I think the best look here is #4--that top (shape and colour) looks very nice with the pants.</p> <p>Your white shoes are lovely--with anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1886042 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 21:18:20 +0000 Sal 1886042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see how these can be really useful pants in our climate and with your work and lifestyle Jenni - and I think with the green top they make a nice outfit.&nbsp; I think the longer tee gives the best proportions and I like some ankle showing.</p> <p>I tend to think they need to be a bit shorter, just above or at the ankle.&nbsp; I think I would either try and do this myself or go to a tailor - I suspect a $15-$20 cost.&nbsp; If the colour and weight and fit are right then I think either removing the cuff or narrowing it is worth it for a fresh pair of pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1886021 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 19:33:55 +0000 lyn67 1886021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My problem with the cuff is not the size but the shape (A line down to hem). I often have this problem when cuffing wide/boot leg pants. So think the cuff would look better if the legs&nbsp; would be first somehow&nbsp; straightened&nbsp; on down legs(say from knee down) and cuffed only after that, if that makes sense, so the cuff to be straight. But that's only me, if this doesn't bother you it's all OK! I esp loved nr 4,5,6&amp;13! Brilliant&nbsp; top, shoes and layering jacket! Wow!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1886015 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 19:15:44 +0000 Anonymous 1886015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am ambivalent. &nbsp;I rarely see cuffs anymore and that could be swaying my vote, but my vote would be donate. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885971 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 17:15:47 +0000 Anonymous 1885971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the &nbsp;pants best worn really casually, as in pic 11...and with a slightly loose fit top. &nbsp;Looks most modern to my eye that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885961 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 16:31:26 +0000 karen13 1885961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them best with the green sandals, I think they need more skin showing at ankle. Try Gigi’s idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885950 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 15:30:54 +0000 rachylou 1885950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee, I kind of really love them. I find their visual weight at the bottom balancing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885922 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 13:36:32 +0000 LaPed 1885922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, well, I think they look great with the new green top (I like that jacket too!). As far as shoes, I think I like them best with the mules (lower vamp). If you are ambivalent, maybe it is worth chopping off the hem and making them straight ankle-length pants; not much to lose, right? I really like the colour and the fit looks good otherwise, so it seems a shame to give up on them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885889 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 08:39:54 +0000 Aurore 1885889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they fit you well and have a beautiful color. Like previous commenters I prefer them with low-vamp shoes and open sandals (those shiny green ones are gorgeous!). It looks great with the new green top and the white skull top with white layer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885878 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 07:21:36 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Bijou,thank you! In fact that effect seems reduced with the other layering outfit pic 10. I suppose because the underlayer is white like the skull top, rather than gold.<br /> Too many horizontal lines is definitely an issue in pic 2. I hadn't realised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885873 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 07:02:59 +0000 Bijou 1885873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#13 is my favourite look too. I like the column of colour on you and the cuff works in this look. These greens are very pretty on you and a nice change from brights, which also look lovely on you.</p> <p>However, with #2, I find the layered top and cuffs on the pants create too many horizontal lines and so the cuffs do shorten your leg line especially with the contrasting and high vamp shoes. Nevertheless, they are great shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885869 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 06:01:29 +0000 Brooklyn 1885869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like no 13. Love the top and the hint of green. And I like the cuff on the pants. I’d wait to see if Angie says anything about the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885867 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 05:58:29 +0000 Gigi 1885867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am kind of middle-of-the-road on the cuff: it doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look like an intentional style decision either. I am wondering with&nbsp;<b>unfrumped&nbsp;</b>what the cuff would look like if it were higher on the leg.</p> <p>I think Kelly at the blog Alterations Needed sometimes is able to wear pants that have been cuffed on the inside rather than the outside, to avoid hemming costs. Will the cuffs stay if you roll them up on the inside? You could maybe even use some fashion tape to get them to stay.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love how you are matching the green tones. I love minty shades of green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885857 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 04:07:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Unfrumped, I get it now. Thanks for mentioning the jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885854 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 04:02:47 +0000 unfrumped 1885854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha—“ top of foot”!<br /> I like the new top and think the jacket looks good with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885839 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 03:41:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia, that one can be a work combo while it is still summer. I like wearing them well enough. They don't make my heart sing, you know? But the new green top does </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885837 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 03:38:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Feeling" a wee bit off is probably it, Suz. I'm lazy re clothes... and maybe I can happily wear them another 5 times to hit the #30 wears, and note for the future that the colour suits me but the cuff doesn't.<br /> And to Suzanimal's point, I've just been at the mall for a different reason, and while I was there looked in a few shops, and one had similar coloured pants with no cuff that were not too expensive. I didn't try on, as I have enough other pants for now, but it's good they exist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885836 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 03:36:40 +0000 Jaime 1885836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really depends if you like to wear them. I would put the new green top with the white mules - I think they are a titch long for sneakers and flats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885834 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 03:27:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Unfrumped, Isabel, Suzanimal and Suz! I'm not sure what you mean by "about resting on top of four", Unfrumped- typo for floor? Seems split opinions on the cuff. I didn't think about the cuff when I bought them way back when ( have learned heaps about figure flattery since) but maybe the cuff was why I didn't like them for a few years. Go Jussie, "sparks ambivalence" is so true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885817 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 01:45:58 +0000 Suz 1885817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look really nice with the newer green top, I think. The mules are really fun! You could hem if the cuff bothers. I have this issue too with deep cuffs. The curse of a shorter self! I don't think it looks bad on you at all when the proportions are right -- but I know that for myself I am always *feeling* a wee bit off with a cuff like this. I do really love the colour for you. Nice earrings, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885815 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 01:34:48 +0000 Suzanimal 1885815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them with #13 (shoes and top) but I think the cuff is leg shortening. I probably wouldn't mess with the cuff and hang onto them until I found something in the same color with a more flattering leg.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, I love those white mules. It's not my favorite shoe with those pants but they're adorable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885814 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 01:25:06 +0000 jussie 1885814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha maybe they spark “ambivalence” lol. I know the feeling. It’s hard to find pants.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885808 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 00:39:27 +0000 Anonymous 1885808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them best with the your open shoe choices, like sandals, and I think the color is really pretty on you and very wearable.</p> <p>I don't think the cuff adds enough style wise to justify the weight it adds at the bottom and I would probably have them hemmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885806 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 00:29:17 +0000 unfrumped 1885806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m wondering if the should be shorter? They are about resting on top of four/ hence not as good with the high- vamped shoes, and the width makes me want them longer or shorter. Maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885805 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 00:19:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kathie. I did used to wear the puffed sleeve top with skirts, you've reminded me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-cuffed-pants-please#post-1885804 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 00:17:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thanks Jussie. I think I'll like them as pic 13, and pretty happy with 10 and 11. They are really comfy. It was a "force myself" after my other preferred ones from the same day died, but I got to like them more over time. If I could wear another 5 times I would be even happier but I agree 25 times and under $4 is not too bad. They don't spark "joy" but they don't spark hate. </p>
