The blouse to that outfit was plaid and had gold threads.<br /> We did a lot of day time sparkle in the 70's lol. I think a low wedge was the footwear (Famolares?) of choice but also boots and clogs. </p> <p>If I think of them as a skirt it helps drown out the other memories. Although I think my friends looked pretty cute back in the day - we dressed up more for school than kids today (as I see DD wearing her skinny jeans and a tunic with a hoodie over it once again). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too/page/2#post-581768 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:41:48 +0000 Angie 581768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all crack me up. </p> <p>Jenava, they need to be a little shorter for sure. I thought so too. </p> <p>Suz, let's see them and decide on the appropriate footwear. </p> <p>Angela, these trousers are not leg shortening like capris - which is why I like them. The link that Taylor provided is SPOT ON!! The blogger looks KILLER. As Taylor suggested, the length and tucking in the top is critical here. (Thanks, Taylor). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too/page/2#post-581705 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:37:06 +0000 Lisa 581705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It appears I have a poisoned eye for bottoms lately. Another cute floral print top though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too/page/2#post-581516 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 04:11:01 +0000 Kate 581516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Wore them the first time around and still love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too/page/2#post-581457 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:58:48 +0000 ironkurtin 581457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 100% sure I would look terrible in these. But I look forward to seeing them styled the Angie way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too/page/2#post-581428 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:32:21 +0000 ManidipaM 581428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the ease of these! For climbing trees and concrete pipes ... (No, don't try to guess!)</p> <p>But I too like them shorter, at least on me, just under the knees. They used to be part of my school sports uniform briefly --- but it was quickly realized that getting a good fit wasn't as easy as with a skirt. So we went back to the skirt...with short shorts popped on underneath. Ugghhh for running around in the sun, in the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581420 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:26:19 +0000 Janet 581420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ehhhh, I'm not so sure about this trend. I did it before and I'm not so sure it looked all that fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581402 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 02:07:40 +0000 Anonymous 581402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Taylor said. My SIL loved how they looked on me and kept buying me new ones. Hmmm, i wonder what my next birthday prezzie will be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581366 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:39:21 +0000 Jaime 581366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes please, how are these different (in terms of leg shortening) than cropped pants? I actually sort of love them, but wonder if they aren't for the very tall and slim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581360 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:27:56 +0000 taylor 581360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length is critical here.<br /> Back in the day we wore them about calf length and they were worn with boots or wedge heels. I only wore them in the summer...sort of like a long(midi) skirt , they were perfect for looking nice, dressed up and staying comfy while hauling babies in and out of cars etc:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581345 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:15:54 +0000 Jenava 581345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw these in Nordies today, too. I like split skirts, but this one is an odd length IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581327 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:03:56 +0000 Anonymous 581327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I ask, Angie, why you like this silhouette and not capris? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581314 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:52:47 +0000 Amy 581314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too, but would like them a bit shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581300 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:35:17 +0000 bj1111 581300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm, i gave it a miss the first time i encountered this look. plan to do so again. just not my cup of tea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581296 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:31:53 +0000 teeandcee 581296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, I LOVE gauchos and have been looking forward to their coming back for a long time. I actually thrifted a pair last year but they're too wintry for right now and I wasn't bold enough to wear them over the winter or even ask on here about them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581294 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:30:38 +0000 Anonymous 581294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I remember Erma Bombeck doing a really funny piece about gauchos. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581293 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:28:33 +0000 Alecia 581293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love gauchos! Always have, which is probably kind of weird. I'm glad that Angie is validating my love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581248 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:50:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 581248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid I'm with Rita on this....no....no....no.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581244 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:48:52 +0000 Aida 581244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I like these when they're below-the-knee to mid-calf best. These are coming across almost ankle length, but if that's the photo angle what length are they? Taylor the pair you linked is lovely, though I'd still prefer them a bit shorter than that personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581208 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:03:20 +0000 Suz 581208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Claire - you are so right! </p> <p>@Citygirldc - I think it will all be in the cut and proportion. Might be tricky, but with heels could be do-able. I hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581165 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:40:41 +0000 citygirldc 581165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So would someone my height look good in gauchos? I don't remember wearing this a kid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581156 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:32:57 +0000 Jjsloane 581156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass. I wore these (in a very unflattering way) in 5th grade. I will not share the photos, I'll just say I got my love for them out of the way. I think I had marigold yellow, Dark wash denim with a rainbow stitched waist (and matching jacket) and really awful pink ones (grandma gift). I've done my time. I'll enjoy watching this from the sidelines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581145 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:27:07 +0000 Mellllls 581145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have always wanted a pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-gauchos-too#post-581143 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:24:58 +0000 modgrl 581143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh No!

I loved them! </p>
