They were too small in the waist. Great to know that the fit seems workable enough to consider the other colors!<br /><b>Vildy,&nbsp;</b>thanks for the great alteration tips.<br /><b>Shevia and CarolS, </b>thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in the too-flappy-pants-thigh boat. :)<br /><b>Runcarla,&nbsp;</b>love the idea of custom tailoring and turning this into a signature pant look.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks to you all for your feedback. It was an easy choice to keep the red because it goes with so many things in my closet. It is such a help to know that the fit is manageable enough that I can consider the other colors. I'm about at my limit for how much time I can invest in searching for pants, and it's good to know that I have options that can work. Angie, thanks for pointing out these pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2241030 Tue, 30 Nov 2021 02:26:02 +0000 Jaime 2241030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recognize these fit challenges too. I like the slouchier look and many of my pants looks just like this, but it depends how you feel about it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2241028 Tue, 30 Nov 2021 02:21:15 +0000 Carla 2241028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red pants are fantastic. &nbsp;Maybe would be worth tailoring for a custom fit? &nbsp;If you love the fabric and style after multiple wears, they might very well become your signature pant and worth duplicating in other colours. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2240982 Mon, 29 Nov 2021 17:56:06 +0000 CarolS 2240982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just weighing in to empathize with this particular fit issue. By the time a tailored pant fits me in the waist I am totally swimming in the seat and thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2240980 Mon, 29 Nov 2021 17:46:23 +0000 Vildy 2240980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 'em!&nbsp; &nbsp;*If* you were going to alter them,&nbsp; I would have them&nbsp;<br />taken in at the rear halves of the side seams only and leave the front <br />halves of the side seams alone.&nbsp; This removes the extra fabric from back upper thighs and under seat.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2240978 Mon, 29 Nov 2021 17:40:12 +0000 Angie 2240978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving at my pants twin! I love our RL pants, and wear mine often. They launder and press well too.</p> <p><b>Grace,</b> did you by any chance try a size down too?</p> <p>Mine fit less fluidly, but are still fluid.&nbsp;</p> <p>As <b>missvee</b> suggests, it's an easy alteration if you want a more streamlined fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote try the black and navy too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2240930 Mon, 29 Nov 2021 11:20:51 +0000 missvee 2240930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm..they’re fairly loose even on the model, so maybe that’s just the way they’re supposed to fit. &nbsp;It’s an easy alteration if you’d prefer a slightly trimmer fit, but I think they look good as they are. &nbsp;<div>As to duplicating them, you’ll know best whether the cost of alteration (if you decide to do it) is worth it, or whether you’d rather keep hunting. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2240925 Mon, 29 Nov 2021 10:57:35 +0000 Star (Lise) 2240925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great from the front but a bit baggy from the side view.&nbsp; I have the same fit issue sometimes.&nbsp; I only wear jeans and cords informally so I live with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2240919 Mon, 29 Nov 2021 07:52:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2240919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Grace, they do look a little baggy on the thigh area. I am not sure I would have noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out? The outfit looks good overall to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-angies-red-rl-pants#post-2240895 Mon, 29 Nov 2021 03:41:46 +0000 Grace 2240895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, I followed Angie's lead a few weeks ago and ordered the red Lauren pants. I struggle with finding dress pants that are loose enough for my proportionately large waist and tailored enough for my narrow thighs. I decided to keep the red pair because I have very few pants that currently fit and was willing to compromise on fit if needed for this one pair.&nbsp;</p> <p>My question is, do you think the fit is good enough to duplicate? I was able to find them in my size in navy and black, but am not sure whether to keep them. I will definitely use them, but don't want to keep them if the fit isn't right. Maybe I'm being overly picky about the fit?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The photos show the pants after a full day's wear at work sitting at a desk, so they are a little bagged out/creased. They were comfortable. I ordered the smaller and larger versions of the red (which I returned) since I can't go down in size (waist) or up in size (thighs).</p> <p>Thanks for looking and for your input!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
