But take it with a grain of salt cause I don't trust light colors in fitted styles much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2165335 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 15:47:04 +0000 annagybe 2165335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UmmLila, Alo Yoga featured a black flared yoga pant variation, but it’s sold out<br /> Reformation has limited sizing in most of their stuff, they are pretty problematic in other areas<br /> I think Diana has a very good point about the possibility of the fabric bagging out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2165268 Wed, 13 Jan 2021 03:07:21 +0000 Carla 2165268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s not a hard hack to split a hem yourself, if that is mostly what drew you to the look. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2165131 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 14:57:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2165131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look, especially with the split hem. I think you could find some elegant lounge-y sets in that type of fabric, maybe a little more washable, at Reformation or Alo Yoga, but II think it would be hard to duplicate the split hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164957 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 19:18:44 +0000 Jenava 2164957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like thee shape and color, but the fabric reminds me a lot of longjohns.&nbsp; If it were more of a sweater knit I'd love them, but I'm sorta meh on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164956 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 19:09:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2164956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are so cool looking, Anna. I think you would rock them. I wouldn't worry about the risk of them not being as expected, unless they are non-returnable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164907 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 13:46:10 +0000 RobinF 2164907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well those are fun! Agree, that's a bit pricey though. Might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164865 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 03:34:34 +0000 Greyscale 2164865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen a handful of pants/leggings in that style recently on very fashion-y sites - ribbed, split hem. I can't remember any particular sources, but if these aren't The One for you there might be others out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164859 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 03:13:20 +0000 Diana 2164859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given the fabric content and the fact that it’s rib knit, I would bet real money that it will stretch and bag out like crazy. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>That being said the look is really cool. &nbsp;I love the layering and the overall &nbsp;silhouette.</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164853 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:38:14 +0000 annagybe 2164853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poop, only small and X-Small in the skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164852 Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:19:17 +0000 rachylou 2164852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Angie! Yes, I don’t know why I don’t have a quilted skirt already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164850 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:50:23 +0000 Angie 2164850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anna</b>&nbsp;and <b>Rachy,&nbsp;</b>I saw this skirt and thought of you. You would both wear it with the best of them.....cute with a belt bag </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164849 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 23:30:57 +0000 rachylou 2164849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow do I love that outfit, esp the pants and shoes. I’m thinking that I personally would never tuck and would probably be wearing footless tights underneath because I run cold... I need them in a cobalt blue (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164843 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 22:32:08 +0000 Vildy 2164843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know someone, tall, who had gotten athletic grey leggings and I couldn't stop staring because they looked so posh and it was because she had sized up to a relaxed fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164837 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 21:45:10 +0000 Ledonna N. 2164837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how they look in the picture. It would be something I have to see in real life and in my body. You can pull off the flyest looks. So I cannot wait and hopefully it will work in your favor </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164834 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 20:55:09 +0000 kellygirl 2164834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anyone can pull off this luxe sporty look it’s you! Worth a try to see how it’s cut and what the fabric feels like but only if it can be returned. DD bought some Zella white leggings and there was no way to avoid VPL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164831 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 20:02:46 +0000 Angie 2164831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I DO like the colour scheme, sweet <b>Anna</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with <b>Mary</b>. Worth a try if you can promise to return if they don't work. I can so see why you're attracted to the look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164829 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 19:56:05 +0000 MsMary 2164829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you order them and then promise yourself you will return if you're not 100% happy with the fabric? I totally get why you are so beguiled by them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164828 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 19:55:28 +0000 unfrumped 2164828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look lovely in a sort of idealized way but I think it would be nearly impossible for any range of normal adult women to make this work on their bodies. I guess maybe not such a problem if worn like luxury pj’s/ loungewear the way one might wear slinky and revealing fabrics for different effect than “ dressing”.<br /> But I don’t think it will function as fabulous light- neutral sporty luxe, where it gives this vibe in the mirror, or is easy to wear or could go outside in it. </p> <p>I could be way wrong, if it’s cut &amp; sized right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/risky-purchase#post-2164827 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 19:33:18 +0000 annagybe 2164827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I saw this picture (left one) from Matches of variants of athleisure&nbsp;<br />I really liked the whole look, cozy and not black. Angie, you’ll appreciate the color scheme. The pants especially, with the split hem, something different than legging and joggers<br />Reebok has the pants in my size. But the fabric content gives me some concern, plus hand wash . And yeah they’re aren’t cheap, at all. And possible issues with undies showing through.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reebok.com/us/vb-leggings/GM1762.html">https://www.reebok.com/us/vb-leggings/GM1762.html</a></p> <p>The Matches pics, show the model’s white shirt showing through the fabric. Though they say the product shots were taken with a pre-production item, so...<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.matchesfashion.com/us/products/Reebok-X-Victoria-Beckham-Drawstring-waist-ribbed-jersey-track-pants-1365435">https://www.matchesfashion.com.....ed-jersey-</a></p> <p>I want something different. But I’m also not going anywhere expect work and the grocery stores for the most part.&nbsp;<br />Maybe I should scratch my itch for something new in a different way </p>
