I do like your cropped ones. I guess if I need any more summer pants this year I will be more open to options. Think I’m set for now but one of my white pairs may be too tight with the 3 extra kg. Will see when it gets warmer. Thankfully those were thrifted for only $5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-sky-is-falling--i-bought-wide-leg-pants#post-2370597 Sun, 22 Sep 2024 01:38:46 +0000 Lisa 2370597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just jumping back in to say that <b>Jenni NZ,</b> I too am short (I'm 5'3") and own many pairs of wide leg jeans and pants (see finds). Some are even cropped! You are certainly not alone on team wide leg. And happy 38th wedding anniversary, that's a lovely milestone!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-sky-is-falling--i-bought-wide-leg-pants#post-2370578 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 21:59:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 2370578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone! Will it make you laugh if I confess I didn’t see the writing on the label that said “wide leg” until I got them home? I had tried them on of course in store but not fully realised.<br /> Thank you for saying they look elegant Angie! I do like the way they sort of fall from the hips?<br /> Ket, I never imagined these could look any good on me being short. You are tall, so I would just say you could always try some on, you might be surprised too. I probably was happier to try since I had bought my grey pair a year ago which were slightly wider than my usual slim pants, maybe those were the gateway drug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-sky-is-falling--i-bought-wide-leg-pants#post-2370575 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 21:39:37 +0000 Angie 2370575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AND....</p> <p>*holding up the sky* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-sky-is-falling--i-bought-wide-leg-pants#post-2370573 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 21:30:18 +0000 Angie 2370573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy 38 years of marriage!

I like ponte material because it gives pants some structure so they drape well and don't show every lump and bump, yet they are as comfortable to wear as a pair of knit joggers. These new pants are a lovely way for you to dip into the wide leg pant trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-sky-is-falling--i-bought-wide-leg-pants#post-2370507 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 00:10:59 +0000 Jaime 2370507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy anniversary!

I wear pants most days, easy wear for work and for granddaughter care on some days. I’ve managed to edit out 2 pairs this year, one to DD1 as they got a bit tight (regained 3 kg of the original 12 lost) and one from 2018 that had 176 wears and were a bit tired plus I was tired of them!<br /> I searched online in the usual places, found some in favourite boutique chain and some in Veronika Maine, so went to a small mall where both stores are. Isn’t it always a big disappointment when things that look really nice and suitable online just don’t fit well? I loved the ones in the boutique but too clingy, showed all lumps and bumps.<br /> I tried a few more stores. Ended up in JacquiE, Australian brand I hardly ever frequent, maybe a bit too mass market usually when I have lots of clothes already? I do love ponte pants, so comfortable, and they had petite. I didn’t mean to buy wide legs but these had pockets, good fit, zip and button fastening and perfect length. So I surprised myself by getting them! Have worn to work last 2 days with warm layers ( it has gone cold again in Spring here) and kept them on for a 38th wedding anniversary dinner with hubby last night at the local Thai restaurant.<br /> These are dark navy and my only other navy pants are summer weight.<br /> This makes 14 pairs of pants altogether.<br /> Cheers! </p>
