I like your question. &nbsp;because I should re-evaluate the idea. I've opted out of semi-tucking for work as I think it is too casual a vibe or message, for me. Then, I thought these pants are too low-rise and fitted for it to be flatteriing in general, even for casual wear,but I could be wrong there, with the right belt and top,&nbsp;&nbsp;that &nbsp;is easy enough to experient there, and could be fun--no pain, no gain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074863 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 02:44:38 +0000 carambola 1074863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants look great. I like them with all the tops. Why is semi-tucking not an option? I see no bulkiness even with a belt underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074758 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:59:45 +0000 unfrumped 1074758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, in the photos I'm actually wearing a belt underneath, to cinch them a bit and keep them up to where I really intend to wear them, to give the shortest length look that is likely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074745 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:52:42 +0000 sarah 1074745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074741 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:49:25 +0000 unfrumped 1074741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sized up. I usually wear a 4 in AT curvy trousers and I got a 6 in these so would not be so body-con in the hip and thigh, though of course it means the waist is bigger. Still, I usually can't wear anything called slim or straight at AT (or anywhere!), so these must be more curvy, somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074737 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:46:54 +0000 Suz 1074737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We benefit sometimes from these ankle lengths.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes it doesn't work -- I think that was the case for me with those Theory ankle pants. They were full length on me, but the cut looked off.&nbsp;</p> <p>And other times, it works. I have also had some luck at At with "ankle pants" that looked more or less full length on me. (And with booties passed for that). I do the same with J Crew toothpick jeans -- size up, slouch down, and they are pretty much full length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074736 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:46:16 +0000 sarah 1074736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I notice that the regular size is the inseam I need to have it not be ankle. Yeah! Now I just don't know whether to size down or not - did you find them TTS? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074733 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:44:53 +0000 sarah 1074733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I will check them out. They do indeed look very short in the pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074728 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:43:21 +0000 unfrumped 1074728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sarah, these are "tweed slim ankle pant". If I'd just been looking online I'd never have tried them because they look short. I came across them in the store, noticed the wooly&nbsp; &nbsp;fabric and then held them up and saw that they were longer than usual ankle pants and gave them a whirl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074717 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:37:43 +0000 sarah 1074717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants look really great on you. Are they the "side-striped straight leg pants"?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074710 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 00:29:26 +0000 unfrumped 1074710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, clearlyclaire. I will try some other tops as well. If I can be a bit nit-picky about definitions, I don't see Janet's sweater as a cropped style--it actually comes almost to low hip. These pants ride low and I can't wear what I'd call cropped with them. So I tend to think in terms of cut, as whether to be boxy-straight and&nbsp; not very banded, and fabric thickness or drapeyness, whether it collapses in or hangs more stiffly, that kind of thing.</p> <p>Suz, I think coat is fine, so thinking of the basic outfit as 3 pieces that ought to&nbsp;work well &nbsp;together, meaning, getting a decent proportion of top with the pants;&nbsp;&nbsp;and doing something as&nbsp;modern as I can with the footwear that&nbsp; still&nbsp;gets me through a&nbsp;workday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074567 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:23:52 +0000 Suz 1074567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants look good and it sounds as if you like the feel of them. I think all these tops work with them and I especially like them with the oxfords. How do they feel with your lab coat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074497 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 21:16:19 +0000 Anonymous 1074497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great trousers, and they go with a lot of your tops already. I love them with the oxfords. Also, I'm imagining them with a chunky, cropped cream fisherman's sweater like the one Janet just posted!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-at-tapered-tweed-pants-for-review-by-angie-and-all#post-1074474 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 20:44:30 +0000 unfrumped 1074474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the AT tapered brown/black wool blend tweed pants. There is a little black "tuxedo" stripe on the side, but you can't see that. This is not really a K/R as I’ve decided to keep them, but I could really use styling opinions as to what tops and footwear work vs. avoid, or other suggestions. Of course if you think they’re just awful…I haven’t cut the tags yet! &nbsp;Trying to show that they are, unexpectedly,&nbsp;full-length on me..</p> <p>I plan on&nbsp;keeping because I like them as something different from my other pants, I have at least some tops &amp; footwear that could work, and I got a sale price in-season—hopefully not just sales-goggles, but meaning that I can wear them right now&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;&nbsp;through the winter, and then if next&nbsp;fall I’m so over this look, (or they don't hold up), I would have had fun for reasonable cost. </p> <p>Here are a few&nbsp;possible tops:</p> <p>--with the most tunic-like top I have—silk BR print</p> <p>--with my dear Loft sweater—too late in season for it, but showing for possible silhouette--could try something boxy, &amp; longer</p> <p>--with a longish knit top, sized up--standing sideways to show the pants length.</p> <p>--with a short-ish but fluid cardi—is this still too “skimpy” looking? I love it for the fall colors. but it is not really “loose over fitted”.</p> <p>The photos are dark, but I think I’ve got 3 different shoes shown—bronze oxfords, heeled slipper shoe, black patent brogue. I can also try my Born shooties. The pants are too bulky to tuck into anything I have or am likely to&nbsp;get right now, so mostly would wear them scrunched over whatever footwear.</p> <span></p> <p>Due to the type of fit, these are not for tucking or semi-tucking, so is more about how much volume and length for wearing "out" ; the more leeway there, the more things I can wear with them, but I don't need to wear combinations that don't look right.</p> <p>What do you think? Head in which direction, top-wise? I do not have a real oversized sweater at this time&nbsp;that goes with&nbsp;these, but if I found one that worked with these plus other bottoms, would consider adding that. </p> </span></p>
