They do hang more smoothly when turned up (shortened) and I love the idea of zippers for over booties.<br /> I'm still trying to decide what to do about the silk plaid shirt. It fits but just hangs on me. I like it but don't love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2/page/2#post-1580986 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 22:05:12 +0000 Vildy 1580986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A silk plaid shirt sounds wonderful to me. Hope you find one that you're really happy with! (and now I want one, too) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2/page/2#post-1580984 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 22:00:57 +0000 Anonymous 1580984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Vildy. I think the pants are going back and maybe the Joie plaid too. A silk plaid shirt has been a HEWI but I'm not sure that this one does anything for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580936 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 20:07:42 +0000 Vildy 1580936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the front fit in #4 a whole lot better. In general, though, there's usually a smoothness to your style and these are somewhat slouchy. <br />Have you tried turning them under to see if they have a bit smoother fit if you were to shorten them?&nbsp; Really like the mixed media vest on you. <br />And like the check shirt, too. See, checks, grid, mathematical, orderly. <br />I have no opinion on the other top. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: or how would they be if you had, say, a small zipper put in at bottom and they would look really cool over a bootie.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580850 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 13:59:43 +0000 Anonymous 1580850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping after adding more photos.

That doesn't mean I think you need to look for tight fit--it's just that these don't look to be cut correctly to be either skinny or tailored fit. So I don't think they will give you the right look in outfits you might build.<br />So, yay, you could have a wardrobe HEWI still to find--the perfect leather or faux leather pant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580601 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 16:48:27 +0000 Marilyn 1580601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely not too old!!<br />But I think they are a bit big in the hips/bum.&nbsp; Keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580590 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 16:26:08 +0000 Carole 1580590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If only they were a better fit...can totally see these in your wardrobe.

I tried them on this morning quickly and thought that they looked like they fit better, but maybe my mirror is lying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580528 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 14:16:01 +0000 rute 1580528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not old at all! In fact I love this fit, it's trendy but it does not screem teen! I would go for it! Yes, it's a bit loose but these are more like pant not leather leggings or skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580521 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 13:17:52 +0000 abc 1580521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! I guess they're open to the adjustments after the fact, I was really surprised and happy the SA offered to hold my purchase. I hope to get back over on Friday afternoon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580515 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 12:47:42 +0000 Anonymous 1580515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Abc, I had a couple of things with red tags and the SA when checking out said to pay for them and bring them back in on Friday with my receipt for an adjustment. She even put those things in their own bag with receipt so I would be set. If I have time I may go back today and look at clearance. Last spring they had several pairs of leather pants on clearance but they are probably gone now. That Rack near Oak Park Mall is the only one in the area. Maybe I will see you there :)<br /> Debbie and Marley, you have convinced me to keep looking. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580429 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 04:37:14 +0000 abc 1580429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the shoe info Joy!</p> <p>I hope you find better leather pants, I'm sure they exist it's just a matter of finding them. </p> <p>I'm in KC this week for work, maybe I will run into you at Rack, they told me clear the racks starts Friday and are even holding a "presale" for me - I chose items and they will run card on Friday when the sale starts. Did you know about this? I visited the one by oak park mall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580428 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 04:22:21 +0000 Debbie 1580428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep looking because I think they would be a fantastic look on you.

I vote pass.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580296 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:20:45 +0000 Vildy 1580296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's an age thing in only one way. Leather trousers fine, leather leggings fine, leather jeans fine. But this particular pair looks like it's cut to fit more closely and not like a trouser. One of the things we see in people who get older (I'm 67 myself) is that they shrink a bit and/or may lose some muscle tone. Couple this with reluctance to get rid of their good clothes, they get a bit lost in their clothing. You've seen old gentlemen who are wearing suits now too roomy. So I'd like to see you in either trouser cut leather pants or in snugger leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580291 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:11:10 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1580291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the concept for you but find them to be too loose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580285 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:59:46 +0000 Colette 1580285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how old you are but I don't think there is an age limit on leather or faux leather. I like them. I do agree with others that the fitting room angle might not showing the true fit. But if you love them, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580280 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:51:12 +0000 catgirl 1580280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never too old! Not sure on fit though - mine are more like leggings and I wear them with tunics or longer button down tops. How do you envision wearing them? Maybe better pics would help us out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580277 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:47:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1580277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely NOT too old to wear leather (or faux-leather) pants. (And was that a trick question? Ha ha ha!)&nbsp; I do like this style for you. They are a tailored look, and I can see them fitting beautifully into your wardrobe and style. They might be a little roommier than is ideal, but maybe not--it's hard to tell from the dressing room camera angle. I'd take them home and try them out if I were you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580272 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:37:57 +0000 Sal 1580272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Aliona. &nbsp;They to me look like the right size but the fit is wrong. &nbsp;I like the concept though!! &nbsp;Sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580266 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:20:11 +0000 gradfashionista 1580266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of like the slim trouser look because it makes them more versatile for work.

But I'm with Jenn: I don't like the way this pair fits, especially in the rear. I'd keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580261 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:06:39 +0000 K. Period. 1580261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with CocoLion. &nbsp;I&nbsp;like that they look like trousers rather than leggings. &nbsp;They look dressy. &nbsp;Are you planning to wear them with sweaters and more tailored shirts? Or with tees? &nbsp;If tees, they are probably too loose. If sweaters and tailored shirts, I think they look fab! And you can always have them taken in slightly at the hips or rear if you want them slightly more fitted.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580259 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:03:22 +0000 CocoLion 1580259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely yes. I am so into leather or leather look pants this year. And the cut which is tailored doesn't look young. The older I get, the fewer rules I feel I need to follow. As long as the garment is constructed with good taste, that's what I look for. I know that's kind of vague. But thinking of it that way means there's room for less expensive as well as spendy pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-these-2#post-1580257 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 21:54:02 +0000 abc 1580257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look a tad big too. </p> <p>I love your shoes!! May I ask where'd you get them? </p>
