This particular pair was exactly the right length that I like. I'll have to try that next time!</p> <p>Oddly enough, I preferred the fit of the "straighter" cut, which they call Marisa, than the "curvy" cut, which is Julie. They didn't have that pair in Julie, but maybe that would've helped. I tried a few others that they had in both cuts, and Marisa was better all around.</p> <p>I also left behind a pair of jeans that felt great and met all my checkboxes because they had very white/bleached whiskering right in that area! Why?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354885 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 00:16:20 +0000 Janet 1354885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a rise thing. I get this ALL THE TIME. I even get this with pants that are baggy in the butt, so I don't agree that it's a matter of not enough fabric in the behind (I don't have much of a booty).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354872 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 23:44:41 +0000 Gigi 1354872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing that the rise is too long, as others have said. I usually buy petites' pants, and when I buy misses', I can get this. It's like the waistband fits where it's supposed to, but there's too much fabric in the rise, so it puddles in the crotch&nbsp;area. I haven't had this problem with petites' pants, only misses'.</p> <p>Can you try petites', Pastrygirl? Or are you too tall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354836 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:57:04 +0000 Diana 1354836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has told me a bit of whiskering is inevitable with dress pants containing stretch and my body type (big butt, flat front). I think you have a similar body type. Anyway she said as long as the butt is not too tight, and you're not getting big folds (indicating rise is too long) a little whiskering is ok. Also it shows more in photos than IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354825 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:43:57 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1354825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting. &nbsp;I am not trying to hijack and if it seems that way, I apologize.<br />I bought a pair of higher waisted wide-legged pants a few weeks ago. &nbsp;I was getting that whiskering look when I tried them on and decided they must be pulling somewhere and if I lost two-three pounds it would disappear. &nbsp;The SA told me it was that the rise was too long and there was excess fabric. &nbsp;I thought she was mistaken. &nbsp;I lost two or three pounds and they looked the same. &nbsp;I am thinking it was the rise and Angie's article describes it well.</p> <p>Hmmmm </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354806 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:21:39 +0000 Tanya 1354806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz has already pointed you towards a great post Angie wrote a while ago on it.&nbsp; Most of the time for me it has to do with incorrect length of the rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354794 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:09:51 +0000 Suz 1354794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/02/21/how-to-minimize-trouser-whiskering/">Angie has gone into this also.</a> It could be a number of factors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354789 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 22:01:54 +0000 carter 1354789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>According to Imogen, there's not enough fabric in the seat of the pants.<br /> <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2013/09/p-is-for-pants.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......pants.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354783 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:53:02 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1354783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have guessed that they were just a touch snug around the hip but if they were loose that is obviously not it. &nbsp;Quite the conundrum. &nbsp;I find most pants turn into a nasty wrinkle zone for me and decided it must be the configuration of my hips or lack of derriere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354780 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:51:44 +0000 pastrygirl 1354780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Years ago, I would've bought them even with that wrinkling.

I think that thinner fabric contributes to it. But I've noticed that some pants just do that on me and some don't--can't figure out why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-what-do-these-wrinkles-mean#post-1354765 Sat, 13 Sep 2014 21:40:25 +0000 pastrygirl 1354765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on some pants at Loft today that I loved (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.loft.com/plaid-straight-leg-pants-in-marisa-fit/339508?colorExplode=false&amp;skuId=17201810&amp;catid=catl000014&amp;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&amp;defaultColor=8680">these</a>), but they wrinkled as in the picture attached below. I tried my usual size, which seemed to&nbsp;fit great,&nbsp;and one size larger, which were definitely too big everywhere. I was surprised that the too-big pair wrinkled the <i>same exact way</i>, given that they were loose everywhere! The attached is not the pair I tried, but the wrinkling was the same. Other pairs in the same cut/style/size but different pattern&nbsp;did not wrinkle that way, but I didn't like those patterns as much.</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>I also loved the way <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.loft.com/plaid-melange-ankle-pants-in-marisa-fit/348875?colorExplode=false&amp;skuId=17200271&amp;catid=catl000014&amp;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&amp;defaultColor=6778">this other pair fit</a>, but the length was so odd on me. I don't think I can wear them, so I left them behind.&nbsp;Boo. They'd look weird with booties, right? </p>
