I would never, ever go near a plaid this big on my butt and thighs. To me, this pattern is screaming to be a skirt - I don't know why, but bigger plaids on skirts strike me as witty, but these pants are too smart for their own good.</p> <p>But, like I always say, if they are plonking at your heartstrings, who cares what other people say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-454067 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 01:06:16 +0000 Kyle 454067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid these may swallow you up, Una. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-454016 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 23:15:08 +0000 Jjsloane 454016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color but I could personally not put that big plaid and that wide leg on my bottom half. Yours is much smaller of course, but without seeing them on you I am not committing. I am not loving them on the model as even with the slim tank (and would you wear a slim tank with wool pants in Alaska???) the proportions are not so flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453979 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 21:23:09 +0000 Nakidra 453979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I agree totally with Bella. They're cute, but I fear that they may shorten your petite frame because of the wide legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453948 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:21:42 +0000 texstyle 453948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are super wide and I'll just say it - my first thought was "pj's". Just one opinion. I'd keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453947 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:19:23 +0000 bella 453947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the fence. I think this is a really adorable garment. I love the color, I love the pattern, I love the silhouette. That said, integrating it into your wardrobe, creating outfits that don't look like a costume could be totally different ballgame. It is a lot of pants on a small frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453914 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:57:36 +0000 JennyAnne 453914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the plaid but not the super wide legs. Maybe the legs are your style, though. You could probably have the leg width altered if the price is right (unless you love the wide legs, of course!). I do think it's a really fantastic, slightly muted plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453906 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:48:17 +0000 rae 453906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, the legs look pretty wide. May be shortening... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453897 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:33:05 +0000 mamaKate 453897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colors. They definitely look retro and not dated. I'm still on the fence though - your call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453896 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:32:09 +0000 Suz 453896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE. </p> <p>One question: can you wear them with platforms/heels or will they be too short? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453894 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:30:03 +0000 Janet 453894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them. I love the color scheme, and I have a strange attraction to plaid pants, considering they don't play well with my pear tendencies. So you should get them so I can live vicariously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453893 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:29:28 +0000 cheryl 453893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! Great colors, love plaid and they are just plain fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453884 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:04:40 +0000 HelenInCanada 453884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about them, alaskagirl - but it's just a personal preference. I do like plaid, but a busy pattern on my bottom half makes me look super short! They look like a fun pair of pants, though, and if you like the wide-leg and the plaid scale, go for it - but I think you'd have to be really careful about toning down the rest of your outfit - top, coat, shoes, so the look doesn't scream "Loud and Proud"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-vintage-plaid-pants#post-453876 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 17:51:35 +0000 catgirl 453876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for a pair of plaid wool pants that look more retro than dated... Here's a vintage pair I found. The seller has given me more exact measurements on these pants (the model is my height and size), and II ove the wide leg and more subtle/modern looking color scheme. What do you think (they are reserved!)?</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/72970400/reserved-vintage-70s-wool-blue-green" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/72.....blue-green</a> </p>
