Collumn of colour, or tuck your top to lengthen the waist from the hips up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611640 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:30:52 +0000 Anonymous 1611640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of those look fantastic on you, firecracker! They are more than JFE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611638 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:29:00 +0000 Anonymous 1611638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input, Angie, Stylefan and broadearthqueen.<br /> IAngie, I don't think I'd want to go full-tilt on the baggy look, but as you mentioned on your blog, the individual pieces moght look quite nice paired off with a more structured element.</p> <p>I just wonder if someone with short legs could wear a low crotch point (don't love that word, bit not sure how to avoid it).</p> <p>I suppose it's a JFE on everybody? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611634 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:22:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1611634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can definitely pull them off. I am 5'5" and wear fuller legged pants. I like them best with cropped tops, as Angie suggests. You asked about dropped-crotch styles--I love those, too. Here are a couple of WIWs with my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611618 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 23:59:46 +0000 Angie 1611618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I think the COS pants would look SO much better with a box cropped top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611528 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 21:21:45 +0000 Style Fan 1611528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Sarah Pacini does that look very well.&nbsp; I have a few pairs of pants by her.&nbsp; Her pants tend to be very flattering.&nbsp; They make your legs look 10 miles long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611452 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 18:51:08 +0000 broadearthqueen 1611452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think with a fitted top it would look great! Long, loose pants can make your legs look longer :3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611444 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 18:40:38 +0000 Anonymous 1611444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks TG!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611441 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 18:38:21 +0000 Helena 1611441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I think that look would suit you beautifully ... You have that sort of casual elegance about you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611437 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 18:32:45 +0000 Anonymous 1611437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I didn't mean 'stubby'. Just 'short'. Yes, I do have short legs, and I think my WIWs are deceiving in that regard. The mirror is on an angle.</p> <p>Style fan, your pants are awesome. That style is very much like what I was thinking, except maybe a bit more tapered. I like the idea of a long tunic.<br />I find the ones that Angie posted just a wee bit OTT for me, but just tightening up the silhouette a touch seems like it would be a very nice breezy summer look.<br />Here is one by Sarah Pacini. I think you said you liked her.<br />I love this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611419 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:38:59 +0000 Style Fan 1611419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try them.&nbsp; You might like them.&nbsp; I have a pair of big balloon pants that I bought at a craft show 4 or 5 years ago.&nbsp; Yes they make my legs look stubby (My legs are average) and I am 5'7.5" but so what.&nbsp; I love them.&nbsp; The woman who made them&nbsp;also had&nbsp;long tunics.&nbsp; Now I am kicking myself for not having bought a tunic.&nbsp; Everything was linen.<br />These are the pants.<br />I also don't think your legs are stubby.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611413 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:21:34 +0000 Helena 1611413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I wouldn't have said your legs are stubby, in fact I would have guessed you were quite tall from your photos. Try them and post pix!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-pants-for-short-people#post-1611410 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:03:49 +0000 Anonymous 1611410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure I have physical access to the big pants featured in Angie's blog post today, so I might have to purchase online.<br />I'm wondering if you think that these big, balloony pants from COS (or another retailer) would look ok on me (long torso/short legs) 5'5" slim build?&nbsp;<br />What about another type of drop-crotch pant?</p> <p>Maybe I should qualify 'look ok' : I mean, do you think it will make my legs look even stubbier?</p> <p>Thanks <br />-- smittie </p>
