It’s instructive to hear the whole evaluation process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachute-help-citron-or-orange/page/3#post-2319720 Mon, 24 Apr 2023 11:30:13 +0000 Brooklyn 2319720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not surprised. My Zara pants look similar to the ones you returned. They are lovely and lightweight (I think they are meant to mimic nylon) but they crease easily and the drawstring waist is tricky. I much prefer my ASOS pair, which are a heavier cotton (more like denim) and have a structured waist. There seems to be lots of styles available now, so no need to compromise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachute-help-citron-or-orange/page/3#post-2319718 Mon, 24 Apr 2023 10:46:30 +0000 sabimct 2319718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This journey of selecting a colour, ordering, trying on, considering, and reconsidering was instructive for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I was younger and just wanted to buy a lot of clothes, I kept a lot of items that were not 'just right.'&nbsp; I didn't think carefully about what went in my closet.</p> <p>Now that I am older and have more time [and hopefully a smidge more wisdom!] I want to be as discerning as you have shown us here in deciding what actually earns a place in my closet.</p> <p>It was fun to see everyone weigh in, but ultimately you had to decide.</p> <p>Loved it ... thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachute-help-citron-or-orange/page/3#post-2319646 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 20:53:23 +0000 Angie 2319646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni</b>, you were right! :)</p> <p><b>LisaP,&nbsp;</b>interesting! The details have to be right, don't they.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm fine wearing&nbsp;width on the bottom - my two new pairs of jeans are very wide! Wider on me than on the models in the Finds below. But they have structured waists, don't crease, and are made of substantial fabric. That makes me feel "neat and tidy", IYKWIM ;)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Tanya</b>, that resonates, and I'm not surprised! If these pants weren't as wide, and had a structured waist - they would have felt more right <i>for me.</i> I'm fine to wear a half elastic back too. HIGH FIVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachute-help-citron-or-orange/page/2#post-2319645 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 20:50:18 +0000 Suz 2319645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent!

More green in person. Super cute, actually! I had lots of fun styling them with the blues and whites in my wardrobe. And the fabric is a LOVELY 100% comfy and breathable cotton. But ultimately, I did not feel "neat and tidy" and polished in them. They were too wide all over, liable to crease too much, and not something that was worth narrowing with alterations. I don't enjoy a full elastic waist either.
