Adding structure seems to work well with those pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013878 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:00:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1013878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've nailed the khakis in these stylings Mona - all the outfits work great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013860 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:46:24 +0000 Beth 1013860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona, I think all three options look great, but the first one is really fab...I like the more formal color-blocking with the casual look of the pants. They also look best at full length.</p> <p>If it makes you feel better, your pictures inspired me to go buy a pair of my own. I plan on wearing them similarly to your look #1 or with a navy blazer (also a structured top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013795 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:54:17 +0000 ramya 1013795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona love this on you especially that yellowish kurti style top!!!<br />I love your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013788 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:32:57 +0000 Mona 1013788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Karie.<br /> Good point about colour, Angie. I am not a big fan of olive colour but I thought it would be fun to experiment. May be these will soon become a part of loungewear.<br /> kellygirl, I will try loosening the belt a little bit next time and see if the fit is more flattering that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013422 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 16:01:46 +0000 kellygirl 1013422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them best with the navy top semi-tucked. My next fave is the light color blocked top. I wore mine yesterday with a black v-neck tee and a metallic belt. I tend to wear mine lower, I think. Can you try hitching them down a little? Perhaps that will give a more slouchy vibe if that is what you are after.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013418 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 15:57:40 +0000 Angie 1013418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks great to my eye. I agree with your own assessments. I particularly love #1. It's got a graphic touch, which tickles my own style persona. </p> <p>Perhaps it's the colour that you found hard to work with Mona. I find that olive just isn't my thing - although it does match my green eyes. But whenever I add olive into my wardrobe - it never makes me happy. So I have learned to stay away from it as a neutral solid. It's fine in a pattern mixed up with lots of my favourite happy bright colours though. Not sure that's the case with you - but perhaps something to think about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013366 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 13:30:25 +0000 Karie 1013366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fab the ways you've styled them. I like them all and can't pic a fav! &nbsp;I need to take notes and&nbsp;revisit the structure issue with&nbsp;some of my trousers and skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013347 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:25:28 +0000 Mona 1013347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just realized in #3 the crotch creases are looking funny. It does not do this in real life.&nbsp;<br />Deborah, you have a keen eye. I got these in tall as the rise in regular was too short on me. I need to loosen my belt so they sit lower on hips. Thanks for suggesting that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013343 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:18:54 +0000 Mona 1013343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, these look great with all shades of blue. Your GAP mesh sleeve sweater in Ivory and blue will look good with these.&nbsp;<br />I have been wearing these rolled just above ankle length and was not satisfied with the look. I also had them tapered at the bottom which helped add a little bit of structure. Also, I think refined footwear is key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013340 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:16:20 +0000 Deborah 1013340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona, I like your stylings, particularly #3. I find myself wanting these pants to sit lower on the hips. I think we have seen so many slouchy and low slung pants that the eye needs to adjust to a properly waisted trouser? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013339 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:13:42 +0000 Suz 1013339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits look fab! And you have given me inspiration. I agree that they look better at full length. I love them with the navy. And yes, you are right -- they seem to work best with a bit of structure and elegance vs. being dressed down. Almost the opposite to what you might expect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sage-olive-green-khakis#post-1013338 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:10:22 +0000 Mona 1013338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been stuggling to make these khakis work during summer. I wanted to add casual bottoms to my summer wardrobe and thought these would be a good addition. When I started wearing them, I did not feel fab in them. Like Suz mentioned in one of her recent threads, there is something about the fit of these that does not look right.&nbsp;<br />Anyways, after studying some of Sveta's WIW's in detail (she has the same pair in blush) I realized I needed more polish and structure with these pants. So this is what I tried a few times last month. What do you guys think?&nbsp; </p>
