I hate pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1009154 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 21:52:58 +0000 rute 1009154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhhh!! I see!! Thank you Angie and ladies. Fabulous tips! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008905 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:01:28 +0000 celia 1008905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you asked because Angie's answer was very instructive also for myself.<br />But even if you have some things to alter the outfits have great potential of fabness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008885 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:42:14 +0000 Diana 1008885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, they need to be longer or shorter. If you shorten the white, you probably also need to taper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008862 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:23:59 +0000 Angie 1008862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember the three troubleshooting questions: <b>length, contrast and heels</b>. </p> <p>So you're sorted with the heels. </p> <p>Now address the length and the colour contrast between your pants and shoes. In #1, the contrast is quite high - blue and mink - so I'd adjust the length a little. Shorten or lengthen. If you were wearing shoes the same colour as the pants, the length would be fine. </p> <p>For #2, the contrast is low from head to toe. The pant lengths work better. If you wore black shoes, your pants would look too short or too long, and you'd want to taper the hems.</p> <p>I hope that makes sense, Rute. These ankle and cropped pant lengths are really tricky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008835 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 13:47:22 +0000 Jaime 1008835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit with the white ones looks great to me - try pinning them up a bit. Something about the proportions with the first&nbsp;looks off - maybe lower heels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008815 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 13:32:18 +0000 Kristin L 1008815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the length as well. Can you pin them up and check them again? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008803 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 13:12:18 +0000 Anonymous 1008803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, they need to be shorter. Suz is right though, perhaps you could try a wide flowy style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008788 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 12:26:58 +0000 Suz 1008788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think changing the length would be a great idea, Rute. If you shorten (which works for your climate) you'll right away feel closer to being in a skirt!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also think it's okay to let some things go. If it is not for you, it's not -- and that is okay. You have a very glamorous, feminine style. Maybe pants don't fit into that well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another option would be to try a really flowy sort of pant, wider leg, drapey -- sort of 40s movie star pants. Those might feel more "you."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008782 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 12:00:22 +0000 Krista 1008782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Ceit said! I think Angie has a rule somewhere about cropped pants being either 1 inch or 3 inches above the ankle? </p> <p>I have similar issues with pants, rute, so I feel your pain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008772 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 10:51:02 +0000 shaz 1008772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its the length i would either shorten them or exchange for longer length love your shoes and tops&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008765 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 09:56:36 +0000 Anonymous 1008765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is the length in both of them. I would make both pairs shorter!</p> <p>You look good, I like the blue shoes and the lacy top in 2 looks great with the white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-problems#post-1008755 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 08:49:08 +0000 rute 1008755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have problems with pants, I always did.<br />YFL helped me to wear jeans (skinnies and wide leg) and I'm loving it now, but I never feel fabulous with pants!<br />What's wrong with these outfits?<br />I feel the pair on 1 is too masculine, I tried with oxfords, heels, but something is wrong!<br />2 is a bit better, but not fab either. Is it the lenght? </p>
