In the 80's I had a couple of pairs in corduroy from Fiorucci. DKNY also made a pair a few years ago - black poplin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757306 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 22:52:13 +0000 Angie 1757306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. Like my '80s clown pants. Love them. Unfrumped just bought a similar pair, Echo.

That is a totally different kind of cuff than I envisioned. You may want to try Etsy or EBay and search for "1980's Vintage High Waisted Pants" or "1980's Vintage Pleat Front Pants".</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757215 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 19:53:41 +0000 Echo 1757215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, let me see if I can get a photo. In the meantime, though, I don't think I described the "cuff" very well. They are turned up at the bottom, but not stretchy or tight around the ankle like track pants. The cuff on a track pant would completely change the vibe of the pants. I've attached a couple of photos of what the pants resemble, and they are pretty true except the pants I have have an elastic waist instead of a button closure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757199 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 18:00:24 +0000 gradfashionista 1757199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw something similar on Everlane but the waistband wasn't elasticized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757110 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 14:40:19 +0000 Angie 1757110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps you can show us a photo, Echo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757104 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 14:17:10 +0000 El Cee 1757104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing <b>unfrumped</b> -- I would check under silhouette of "joggers" or "track pants". Nordstrom has a few offerings in this category that might be what you are looking for. Here are two:</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757102 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 14:11:46 +0000 cindysmith 1757102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How I found my wonderful tailor in Shreveport: went to a higher end consignment shop and asked who they used for alterations. </p> <p>I've since moved away from Shreveport, far enough away that I am about to have to do the same for the Dallas area to find a tailor: call a high end boutique or consignment (one of the really really expensive places) shop and see who they use so I can try that tailor </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757081 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 13:11:29 +0000 LaPed 1757081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know Uniqlo has had some very tapered 80's style trousers -- with elastic waists. Maybe Topshop, too? You might be interested in the Find below. They are not quite as loose as what you describe, but they're great pants -- cute, comfortable, and seem like they will travel well. </p> <p>ETA Find. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757080 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 13:11:19 +0000 unfrumped 1757080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look through all of the Topshop pants on Nordstrom website. They do a lot of taper/cuff. Also would still search under "joggers" as the silhouette is similar and sometimes you'll get a hit on something that is dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757064 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 11:58:17 +0000 Astrid 1757064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a picture? I can't quite imagine what you're looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pleated-tapered-leg-pants#post-1757024 Sun, 04 Dec 2016 04:43:31 +0000 Echo 1757024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of black, very inexpensive, elastic waist, pleated, and tapered leg pants with slight cuffs at the bottom (originally purchased at Nordstrom Rack). The fabric looks like rayon, but is 100% poly with slight stretch, and they are not at all snug anywhere on the body. They are totally an '80's style. I absolutely ADORE the pants, but they are wearing out from overuse.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can anyone suggest something similar? Given how much of a workhorse they are in my wardrobe, I am willing to pay more than I normally would, so price is not necessarily a hindrance. I just cannot find the style. Most pants I see tend to be business pants, palazzo pants or bodycon. I can find so little in between.</p> <p>I have even considered taking these pants to a tailor, having them take them apart, make a pattern, and make me multiple pairs in the same size/style! But I don't even know of a good tailor/ sewer around here.&nbsp; </p>
