I guess my eye likes the juxtaposition. It seems like just about everyone has a different favorite :).

I posted some new stylings <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachute-stylings">here.&nbsp;</a></p> <p><b>Jenni,</b> I hear you on "matchy matchy." I like matchy matchy too. And I think as a few others have said, the colour makes these feel a bit more "fashion" than "fatigue." Not that there is anything wrong with fatigues or olive or khaki! But those colours don't work on me so well and it was nice to find a colour I like in this style.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you, <b>Jenn</b>. I do think they are going to be in constant rotation. I already want a linen version for summer!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou</b>, thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Robin</b>, that is a really interesting point -- I'll have to experiment with the tieups and lengths.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas/page/2#post-2304636 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 20:21:48 +0000 Jenni NZ 2304636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great! I like them best of the parachute pants seen on the forum so far. My matchy matchy self likes them with the plaid combat boots best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas/page/2#post-2304551 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 16:15:51 +0000 Jenn 2304551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE them! Seriously, Suz. So so so so good.</p> <p>My favorite combo is with the combat boots and moto jacket. &nbsp;Perfect blend of trendy and classic. Love the sneakers too, and I don't think the white boots look clownish at all. I even like the Blundstones.</p> <p>These pants are so versatile and a great color for your wardrobe. &nbsp;HUGE WIN. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas/page/2#post-2304545 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 15:39:45 +0000 Bijou 2304545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply stunning on you, a perfect wardrobe addition that is practical and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas/page/2#post-2304527 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 13:43:54 +0000 RobinF 2304527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants! The fit is perfect. I also like the sneakers. I like the red boots too but not sure I like them covering the top of the boot - weird I know. I was so focused on the shoes that I had to go back and look at the tops again. I quite like all of them but especially the moto, very cool look.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304521 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 13:20:31 +0000 lyn67 2304521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love their color, it makes such a diff!!!! And love-no exception- all the stylings!! Wow!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304514 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 12:18:39 +0000 Olive Green 2304514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first ever Aritzia order is coming Monday. I splurged full price on the wool Mosaic scarf, a hat, and ordered a long sleeved t in the bright Copper colour. I am now looking at these pants and wondering how I missed them <br />They have short lengths, too.&nbsp;<br />Anyway, I nearly lemming these this morning after seeing how great they look on you, then slapped myself, as I have some &nbsp;light weight Lemaire Uniqlo ones in both sage and grey. Drab but fab, eh, and not a single piece of burgundy or red in the closet.&nbsp;<br />Like you, will be looking for a lighter weight version next season.&nbsp;<br />I do like them with the white boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304502 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 11:27:32 +0000 Anonymous 2304502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them most with the plaid boots by far! To me, the sneakers seem too lightweight for the volume of the pants. Like big pants over tiny little feet in comparison. They definitely need a substantial looking shoe for balance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304493 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 09:53:34 +0000 Star (Lise) 2304493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning on you - first pair of parachutes I really love.&nbsp; For me best with the plaid booties, excellent pairing - you do not need a navy pair. Moto jacket, denim jackets, striped and plaid tops all great pairings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304475 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 06:37:50 +0000 Suz 2304475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all these suggestions! They are great. I've tried a few more stylings as per your ideas and will post more photos tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kyle</b>, those are exactly the kind of sneakers I think I should be going for -- both pair!&nbsp;</p> <p>I will say that these pants will be a fall/ winter/ spring item. They are cotton, but substantial weight -- too warm for summer here (most days). I am hoping Aritzia will do the exact same style in linen, though. I will be lining up for them! They'd work really well in 100% linen or a cotton/ linen blend. Anyway, all that is to say that in the end it is unlikely I'll wear this particular pair with sandals. And realistically, they won't even get a ton of wear with sneakers except in later spring and early fall. I tend to wear my sneakers most heavily from mid-April to -mid October with an emphasis on April/ May/ June and September/ October.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304473 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 06:29:02 +0000 Synne 2304473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool! Great color too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304465 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 05:11:32 +0000 Zaeobi 2304465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh these are great on you - what a steal! The colour &amp; shape is wonderfully balanced. </p> <p>Are the coral trainers knit, by any chance? I'm inclined to agree with you that they don't work as well as the white ones, but having a hard time putting my finger on 'why' exactly - whilst the white ones aren't 'chunky' per se, maybe the sole is more substantial? </p> <p>I've also run into this issue with my cargo pants - whilst I like mine with combat boots, they look a little too 'tradie' (as Brookyln mentioned) with pullon boots, yet they also tend to overwhelm my flatter soled flats (like my pointed toes &amp; loafers). It sure is tricky to get right - maybe 'mid' footwear is best, lol? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304464 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 04:46:37 +0000 Kyle 2304464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are a great find&nbsp;for you, Suz. They look so good on, and will be really fun to style. I like them most when you lean into their casualness by wearing them with a sneaker, or their — I’m not sure of the right word here — but their ability to look a little more edgy, maybe. So I also like them with the boots and the leather jacket, or the plaid shirt, for example, but less with the elegant looking scarf, if that makes sense. As you suggested, I agree that you would likely get a lot of wear out of some platform sneakers. I’ve found these to be comfortable and versatile.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/5833503?color=105&amp;size=10&amp;width=m">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/58.....38;width=m</a></p> <p>Also, I know you enjoy wearing silver to bookend your beautiful hair.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/5568406?color=041&amp;size=10&amp;width=m">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/55.....38;width=m</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304452 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 03:43:53 +0000 cjh 2304452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool pants! I like the color and they look like a fab fit. I like 3, 5, and 6 best. I favor the striped top over the print or plaid. Maybe it calms down the red a bit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304449 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 03:36:25 +0000 Carla 2304449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m in the same camp with&nbsp;<b>LJP&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>kkards&nbsp;</b>and like the sneakers best. &nbsp;Of course, I adore the striped T look, but my favourite is the plaid shirt.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>I&nbsp;<i>do&nbsp;</i>want to say that these make your legs look&nbsp;<i>really&nbsp;</i>long, even when you are wearing high contrast footwear!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304444 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 03:13:27 +0000 unfrumped 2304444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh these are too great. So lucky because I would not know what size to get with final sale.<br /> I think white or dark footwear just give totally different vibes which is good, as gives different ways to wear in different seasons. I do like the printed tops a lot - more feminine juxtaposition. . But then a dark top &amp; boots looks kinda garçonier- punk in a good way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304437 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 02:35:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2304437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! Yes, sorry Lisa.</p> <p>Tradies = tradespersons.</p> <p>It’s a term of affection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304426 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 02:24:28 +0000 slim cat 2304426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new pants in fab color! Love sneakers and leather jacket with it, Rails plaid shirt, white denim jacket ( something like #8 to #13 feels a bit lighter ). As it's one of favorite colors - you have enough options to play with them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304425 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 02:22:22 +0000 Jaime 2304425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them on you! #3 is also my favorite but among many. Shoes wise I like them with the red and with the white sneakers and I would also go for the most refined boot you have. I like #10 for example. (I would immediately try them with all my pointed toe boots.) Really fantastic pick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304420 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 01:45:16 +0000 Sal 2304420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants are keepers! My favourite footwear are the sneakers and the combat boots. Sneakers to me make them look transitional season and the plaid boots more winter/fall. The other two are fine as well that’s just my preference.</p> <p>Haha- I know what Brooklyn means- in fact I have had two tradies here all day putting in a new heat pump system. Wearing sturdy boots and cargo shorts.</p> <p>I think these will be an awesome addition Suz!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304417 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 01:36:47 +0000 LJP 2304417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to read words / terms you’ve never come across before : tradies . I actually thought Brooklyn meant trendy until I read it again ! Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304414 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:38:58 +0000 Brooklyn 2304414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF and these are definitely keepers!</p> <p>I got some cargo pants in Spring too and have been playing around with them. These are my thoughts about styling (YMMV of course):<br /> * I like them best with sneakers or sandals (summer of course!) because to me that is the most fashiony look<br /> * I tried them with Blundstones but did not like. Here cargo pants with heavy Blundstone boots is a very popular tradie look. I have nothing against tradies (in fact, I worship the good ones) but I don’t want to look like I emerged from a building site. Aside: my husband’s favourite casual look is Patagonia cargo pants and heavy Blundstone style boots and he is constantly being asked if he is in the trade (which he takes as a great compliment).<br /> *I am still experimenting with combat boots but I think mine are a little too high in the shaft for my looong pants. Also, it might skew the look a bit too army-ish. But my pants are khaki and taupe so I’m more at risk of that. I think burgundy is a great choice because it looks more obviously fashiony. I think the plaid boots work really well.<br /> *I’m not wild about them with a longer jacket (have tried myself). Something about the look being too busy in the thigh area (with the pockets). I like the shorter jackets better. But this could be an eye adjustment thing.<br /> *Try with a high neck jumper! I love mine with anything high necked and I know you like a high neck too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304412 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:32:01 +0000 Suz 2304412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! Super helpful, and I especially love it that opinions are mixed. I usually find when that is the case it's about tweaking the more controversial options a bit...</p> <p>I <b></b>do<b></b> think I need new white sneakers this spring, for sure, or maybe multicoloured would be fun. Or lilac, like Carla's. Except I can't wear Cons, alas.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Janet,</b> I don't know how many burgundy jeans, cords, and other pants I tried this fall and winter! My old burgundy Dres bit the dust (alas) and I was missing them SO much. Burgundy is such a great colour for me if it is on the plummy/ aubergine side or the red side (not so much brown burgundies). Anyway, I digress -- it's a colour of pant I really enjoy wearing and I have a lot that works with it in the closet.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304401 Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:07:47 +0000 kkards 2304401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Lisa, I like the sneakers best…and I think the denim jacket is perfect with them as well. &nbsp; I don’t love the white boots but if I was going to do the white boots I think I would try to balance the look with a “heavier” or more substantial top, maybe a chunky sweater or an oversized hoodie.&nbsp;<div>So much to think about as I’ve got cargos on the brain. &nbsp;<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304397 Thu, 26 Jan 2023 23:43:15 +0000 jussie 2304397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness they are a keeper if I ever saw one! Perfect! Am at school but will reply properly later, at a glance all your stylings seem to be working well to my eyes :). (Of course I’m no expert though so take me with a grain of salt). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304396 Thu, 26 Jan 2023 23:38:48 +0000 LJP 2304396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well aren’t these cute ! Lucky score - especially on the final sale front . Aritzia has the least customer-friendly return policies ever . Anyways , from what I’m reading and hearing , the low-profile sneaker is the way to go moving forward and I do like your white sneakers best with these pants . The white boots are too much here , in my opinion . The visual is bottom heavy with the full pant and big boot when you’re wearing a more fitted top and with your sleek hair . I do like the plaid combats too . I think they’d look great with a multi coloured sneaker- or something with a gum sole like the Adidas Sambas or Gazelles ….which come in great suede colours . I just took an on-line enneagram test and am feeling quite opinionated </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304392 Thu, 26 Jan 2023 23:19:20 +0000 Janet 2304392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! Burgundy?? Now I’m envious! I would love burgundy ones (just smack me, I already have grey and a sagey-olive, but I would love burgundy pants!).</p> <p>I like all the stylings but I prefer the ones with the darker footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parachuting-in-styling-ideas#post-2304388 Thu, 26 Jan 2023 23:08:49 +0000 rachylou 2304388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great pants! I like the white boots the best actually, because they have equal visual weight with the pants. </p>
