I think we must also have a similar inseam,&nbsp;although your legs are so much longer than mine. So interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1049335 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:17:12 +0000 marianna 1049335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I'm checking in quickly from work... will respond more later. I'll let out the hem on the checked pants. I think the cobalt ones need to be shrotened a tad bit too.</p> <p>I love the bow sweater... wasn't even up for discussion! Wearing it to work today and it's fab... feels great on too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1049210 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 18:06:01 +0000 Suz 1049210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great on you, Marianna! I agree with Sveta's suggestions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1049165 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 16:39:09 +0000 Sveta 1049165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh! Now we are double trouser twins! I have my plaid trousers to taper by 1" and now the shortness problem gone! Another solution is to let down the hem - I would say there is at least 1" there.<br />Live the cobalt trousers on you and what a fun sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1049028 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:28:52 +0000 Anonymous 1049028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am hoping my checked Martins fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1049024 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:25:34 +0000 Angie 1049024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing you post again. I miss you.&nbsp;</p> <p>That pullover is Killer to the power of Killer, Marianna. Good grief. And it was on my fab finds list for next week to boot.</p> <p>My thumbs are up for both pairs of trousers too. I particularly like the checks.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048990 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:42:18 +0000 Janet 1048990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both on you, with the length alteration on the plaid ones that everyone has already mentioned.

I agree the plaid look a tad short but I know from the ones I tried there is at least an inch hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048847 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 08:58:03 +0000 lyn67 1048847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nice to see you posting again, Marianna, I missed your outfits! I like both pants&nbsp;but nr 2 is already styled to 11 out of 10:-). The cobalt needs a more dressy top IMHO, but am not an expert, at all:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048795 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 05:32:12 +0000 Ornella 1048795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both on you Marianna. So nice to see you posting again - btw, I have always&nbsp;loved seeing&nbsp;ballet flats on you, so pretty.</p> <p>I love the sweater too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048738 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:29:59 +0000 Amy 1048738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look good on you. I agree with the other that you should let the hem down by an inch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048734 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:25:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1048734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt is gorgeous on you.&nbsp; How about the length in back?</p> <p>Are you wearing a belt with the plaid pants?&nbsp; The crotch issue is sometimes helped with belting.&nbsp; It's not a deal breaker for me -- this seems rather minor.&nbsp; I think the side view makes them seem just a touch short. There's probably enough in the hem to make the difference, if you have the inclination to make them longer.&nbsp; Love this plaid.&nbsp; Your legs look impossibly long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048717 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:10:11 +0000 Anonymous 1048717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye they both look great on you and with the fab sweater. It's so good to see you posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048711 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:06:16 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1048711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt trousers, they are an awesome colour.&nbsp; I think that I would colour block them with black or white too.</p> <p>The BR Martins could be a tad longer I think.&nbsp; </p> <p>Have you done the sit down test in both?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/svetas-cobalt-trousers-on-me-and-another-pair-of-br-martins#post-1048653 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 02:05:59 +0000 marianna 1048653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I saw the Banana Republic cobalt trousers on Sveta, I knew I had to try them for myself. I loved the color and I'm always looking for fun business casual choices! Here they are on me... keep or return? I don't find the color too wild and think it will be nice with black and white. What do you think of the fit? I have a hard time finding trousers that fit well.</p> <p>I also ordered these checked straight leg BR Martins. Not sure about the fit but I love the print. Are they a bit too tight? How's the length? I always have issues with crotch fit, so there is some wrinkling going on... not sure if that's okay or not.</p> <p>Would love your thoughts on both pairs. They're both for&nbsp;work wear.</p> <p>And yes, this is probably the first time I'm posting pics in a year... but Sveta's pants inspired me! </p>
