It's high- low, but I would tuck in for work. I think the woven blouses look a little more formal, which is good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252893 Fri, 16 May 2014 02:37:28 +0000 pil 1252893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good closet discovery! 1 and 3 are my favorite looks. Didn't you end up finding a lighter color oxford fairly recently - would they work? And I also seem to recall you finding something (a top?) in a 'moonbeam-ish' color at AT? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252836 Fri, 16 May 2014 01:13:06 +0000 unfrumped 1252836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dustt and Gigi, I like the idea if a narrower belt, and while I don't really want to go all the way to white, some kind of paler neutral would look good. I like staying kind of tonal, too high- contrast since I'm chopped up already. Shoes are more luck of the draw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252828 Fri, 16 May 2014 00:56:02 +0000 Janet 1252828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these much more than the pleated ones you posted the other day, but I have an aversion to pleats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252825 Fri, 16 May 2014 00:54:12 +0000 Gigi 1252825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are work-worthy. They look very flattering on you!</p> <p>I don't think that the flats look bad, but I agree that a low wedge might look better. And I like dustt's idea of a lighter-colored shoe and belt if possible. I feel like the belt in pic 3 is a little heavy looking for the outfit. Or maybe a skinnier belt, even in a dark color,&nbsp;would lighten things up too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252765 Thu, 15 May 2014 23:34:44 +0000 Aida 1252765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are a good crop length on you. I was thinking the same as Anna, though I do understand your concern with how that would read less hospital. I think a low wedge versus a proper spiked heel would be equally appropriate for your needs. Cotton, especially in a weight that's more substantial as these look,&nbsp;also seems summer appropriate to me. I really like that last look! The dressier supporting cast works very well with those pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252741 Thu, 15 May 2014 23:09:28 +0000 rachylou 1252741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd call them clamdiggers, but I really like them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252731 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:55:37 +0000 dustt 1252731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped - I'd like to see the grey pants with a lighter shoe &amp; belt for summer - still work appropriate IMO - perhaps in one of the lightest tones in the blouse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252728 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:52:35 +0000 unfrumped 1252728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, jelly girl and Carter. </p> <p>Anna, thank you for looking. I would not r/o a small edge or something, but it's almost paradoxical for m, style/wise-- a heel plus the tapered ankle pant reads more after- work to me than " hospital" so while no or low heels are mostly about comfort, it's also more " fancy" than my comfort Zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252647 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:30:39 +0000 carter 1252647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yes! The length is great on these. Although I don't go to an office, I do wear ankle pants all Summer long for client appointments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252645 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:29:37 +0000 annagybe 1252645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, can you wear heels, even a small one at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252643 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:29:03 +0000 kellygirl 1252643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. I really like them in 3 especially. What a great SYC find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-yields-old-ankle-pants-and-possible-options#post-1252640 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:24:41 +0000 unfrumped 1252640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these gray cotton ankle pants that I got 2 years ago at TJ Maxx for purely casual wear. While not super-tapered, they do have a definite taper and cuff and were intended&nbsp;as an alternative to the dreaded&nbsp; floppy-choppy-crops that were so prevalent. They're&nbsp; hard to <u>roll</u> higher due to&nbsp;the tapered hem, but they're above ankle as-is. </p> <p>Now that ankle pants are so mainstream, along with more fluid fits, I think I will still really enjoy them for casual, but I'm also wondering if these&nbsp; &nbsp;just <u>might</u> &nbsp;be work-worthy ( for&nbsp;some days). Not sure due to the cotton&nbsp;fabric, which makes them like chino's. These are shown as-is&nbsp;with usual&nbsp;wash &amp; wear, but I&nbsp;&nbsp;could press them for a better look, perhaps.</p> <p>I've styled them with: gray textured knit top; reptile shell and AT cardi; and tucked in blouse, all with zebra slightly-pointy flats--all very neutral and tonal&nbsp;pieces that read more professional and dressy to me than colorful summer tops&nbsp; would, I think.</p> <p>What do you think about length, fabrication, and overall look for a mid-summer work look?&nbsp; Thanks for looking, and any comments. </p>
