One is blackish &amp; the other dark brown. They're a little more tailored than the examples you posted. I don't wear them a lot, but I'm glad I have them. They're very comfortable &amp; flattering. In the winter I wear them with tights &amp; boots, but I consider them a 4 season garment. I wore the black one to a casual holiday party last week with the silver sparkle sweater from Sears Angie featured last fall, and received a ton of compliments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-requested-on-athletic-wear-skirts#post-802560 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 14:08:03 +0000 Suz 802560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think an A line skirt can work for a classic style, but it's not that current at the moment. So that also needs to factor in. </p> <p>I personally might buy a skirt like this if I were travelling, or if I were running around after kids in the park. But the more modern solution would be trousers of some kind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-requested-on-athletic-wear-skirts#post-802516 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 04:35:01 +0000 rholmes27 802516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what a "duh" moment. Suz, when you mentioned whether the skirts fit my style, it hit me why I was questioning them. My style is more of a relaxed classic or casual classic, not sporty. </p> <p>Geez, I knew my recent illness had left me with a foggy brain, but I was forgetting one of the most basic principles of shopping for PPP pieces.</p> <p>Thanks so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-requested-on-athletic-wear-skirts#post-802486 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 02:21:00 +0000 pil 802486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the Royal Robbins discovery skirt but was disappointed it didn't fit. The fabric was nice and I liked the ruffle at the bottom.</p> <p><a href="http://www.royalrobbins.com/c-womens-styles.aspx#subcategory=skirts" rel="nofollow">http://www.royalrobbins.com/c-.....ory=skirts</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-requested-on-athletic-wear-skirts#post-802466 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 01:36:51 +0000 Suz 802466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your style is sporty / natural and/ or you are using these for travel and active days, then I say go for it. The length will be longer on you for sure. Depends of course on how you look and feel in A lines. If they work for your body type and lifestyle. In theory given what you say I don't think it's a problem. </p> <p>What season are you planning to wear them in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-requested-on-athletic-wear-skirts#post-802463 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 01:23:31 +0000 rholmes27 802463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my attempt to fill a huge hole in my wardrobe for my dominant season, I ran across several Athleta skirts on sale. Could you give me your opinions on these? Does it look like I've given up &amp; am out in my yoga pants? How would you style these?</p> <p>I'm 52, petite hourglass, MOTG (with no kids living at home). I will attempt to post several links, so y'all can see what I mean. Thanks so much for your time &amp; help.</p> <p><a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46861&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=861887052" rel="nofollow">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/.....=861887052</a></p> <p><a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46861&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=903686002" rel="nofollow">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/.....=903686002</a> </p>
