On 5'8" ish daughter, they are at her ankle bone, or even a tad above. &nbsp;Might be worth a try - although I admittedly have no idea how tall you are .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1787045 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 13:14:14 +0000 RobinF 1787045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great but I'm afraid with that type of cuff I would need a petite and TNF doesn't carry petites as far as I'm aware. Bummer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1787039 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 12:47:47 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1787039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw some joggers in the Athleta catalog a few months ago and thought "I can make that work" and bought a grey pair and a black pair of knockoffs at Target. I love them! I had forgotten how much I enjoy a pant that's tighter at the ankle, thanks to listening to Clinton and Stacey all those years (WNTW). I find that they work well even for my short hippy self, and have worn them a lot. I have a pair of gear-ish strapped flats from Duluth Trading Company (grey &amp; plum) and that's my favorite shoe to wear with them. I'm looking forward to trying them with my leather jacket as soon as we warm up a bit here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1787026 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 11:41:23 +0000 Elizabeth P 1787026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS.&nbsp; It looks like they are $64 at Sport Chek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1787025 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 11:37:12 +0000 Elizabeth P 1787025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may check these out as well!&nbsp; They look perfect for the trip I'm taking this summer.&nbsp; Although... come to think of it, I do have a very similar pair of Lulu's... have to be careful!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1787015 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 10:24:23 +0000 April 1787015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for that info, LP -- I'll give these a bash in spite of my anti-gear rant. &nbsp;For me, they do not look like "activewear" (per Anna G's hilarious video) but more like a sporty luxe ingredient that, as you have pointed out, could easily be dressed up. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786455 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 16:40:33 +0000 Angie 1786455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I look forward to seeing you style them, Lisa.

I say about, because DD was measuring it with a metal tape measure while wearing them- sigh. &nbsp;Kids. &nbsp;</p> <p>Angie- no doubt about it - these are not pretending to be anything other than gear pants &nbsp;. But they are not logo-d and because of the quality of the fabric, are thus suitable for a few different uses . &nbsp;I can't wait to wear mine ! &nbsp;DD also announced she will be buying them in other colours today too &nbsp;;) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786442 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 16:18:14 +0000 Angie 1786442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lisa. They look great. </p> <p>Like April, I was going to ask about the position of the logo too. I'm a bit allergic to TNF label because it makes everything look like gear. They have gotten more subtle though. And if you have to hunt for it - good news. </p> <p>I see these fun joggers with dainty pumps, sequin top, denim jacket and bling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786429 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 15:48:08 +0000 Anonymous 1786429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April - the only label or logo is a tiny fabric tag sewn down on the edge of one of the front pockets. &nbsp;You'd have to hunt for it to notice it &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786413 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:51:44 +0000 unfrumped 1786413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still love joggers!</p> <p>I could wear just the right kind to work - black-because they read as a tapered slim but not skinny pant and work great with different shoes, but they'd need to be refined. Hard to tick all the boxes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786403 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:16:16 +0000 Anonymous 1786403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already have a pair of stretch nylon joggers or I'd consider these!<br /> I got them last year. They were such a smart buy.<br /> I wear them to-from the gym in the winter. The nylon really cuts the cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786401 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:11:11 +0000 viva 1786401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. These SO look like the kind of thing that works well for you, and that you intuitively know how to deal with. I WANT THEM because they look for comfortable and cute and are a nice alternative to jeans. But I worry I won't know what to do with them to make them look sharp. I might try, though, using your guidance. In US dollars, they're crazy cheap.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786393 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 13:35:46 +0000 Anonymous 1786393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT suggestion. &nbsp;I am going to try these for my vacation. &nbsp;They sound perfect. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786389 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 13:23:25 +0000 April 1786389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LP -- do these have a North Face label on the outside? &nbsp;I don't see it in the photos, but sometimes their labels are the same color as the items and hard to spot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786385 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 12:59:02 +0000 Bijou 1786385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants recommendation. North Face often create great pants and you know that they are going to wash and wear well. I really love this look with a heel and blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786323 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 04:15:48 +0000 lpr200 1786323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a pair of joggers which I love for comfort but these look so good to dress up and down depending on the occasion/mood.

I was just checking out these EF pants and shoes as a refresh to my casual capsule .. May check out the pants you mentioned too as black bottoms usually work better for me.

If the rise is too high, I get a balloon stomach look going on , which is really not cool. &nbsp;I'll measure the M for you when she takes them off- which could be never. She's wearing them right now and is busy with her BF doing something. &nbsp;I'll let you know tomorrow.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786282 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 01:23:10 +0000 Carla 1786282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LisaP, how's the rise? Elastic waists seek out my high waist with awkward results. i like the look of these, however </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-great-casual-everyday-with-dress-up-potential-pants#post-1786278 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 01:16:10 +0000 Anonymous 1786278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD, 21, brought these North Face pants home from work today . They are from the new Spring collection . &nbsp; Called "joggers" , they &nbsp;are a stretch woven with a smooth drapey hand. &nbsp;The waistband is nice and substantial and wide, and the self- cuffed bottoms are perfect: not too balloon-y. &nbsp;Side entry pockets, and a slim profile makes these the perfect pant for everyday - and they also look great with a heel and a blazer. &nbsp;I tried hers on and have instructed that she bring me home a pair tomorrow &nbsp;We are both a M in North Face pants. &nbsp;She's a good 3-4 inches taller so the pants are just to her ankle and they are a little more form fitting on her. On me, the bottom volume is a little more because I'm shorter (ugh) but still not too balloon-y (note: new fashion term). &nbsp;Highly recommend these - and at $89 Cdn, they are great value. She says the denim blue and the mauve grey both look like pyjama bottoms, so I'd stick to the black. &nbsp;I plan to wear mine for work with a blazer, a t or silk top and a heeled bootie (Freebird Quails come spring ); and , for casual days with leather Converse high-tops, a denim jacket (it's on my must figure-out list for spring) and a pretty t or tank. &nbsp; </p>
