So for that reason, I’d avoid any final sale….but YMMV. &nbsp; As others mentioned I’ve had good luck with The Gap. Also recommend giving JCrew a look.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339654 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 19:27:32 +0000 Helena 2339654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think many of these have potential and agree that the only way to know is to try them on.&nbsp;</p> <p>Does it look like the fabric belt could be removed from the CK ones? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339651 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 19:00:06 +0000 Kyle 2339651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, Amazon has the Paige Gracie Lou jeans in a range of sizes for substantially less. Also, if you are a Prime member you can order and try them for 7 days while incurring no cost unless you decide to keep. Be sure to check the Try Before You Buy button during purchase process.</p> <p>You’re tall, correct? I recently got these corduroy flares and like them very much. Enough length in the regular size to wear with sneakers or low-heel booties, but also available in tall. Nice high waist and available in several colors.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=728759032&amp;vid=1&amp;tid=gppl000071&amp;kwid=1&amp;ap=7&amp;gad=1&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi8XG3vnIgQMVGw6tBh03dw6bEAQYBCABEgKulfD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds">https://www.gap.com/browse/pro.....&#038;ap=7</a></p> <p>If you are tall with no curves like me you might take a look at J. Crew denim. They make my best-fitting bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339634 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 15:58:48 +0000 Angie 2339634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fingers are crossed, sweet <b>Karie</b> :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339626 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 15:02:11 +0000 Carla 2339626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got these Levi High-rise cropped flare jeans last year and have just started wearing them again now that temperatures are dipping into the high teens/low 20’s. They are still available in different washes and at a variety of sites on line. &nbsp;High cotton content and a decent price point.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339624 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 14:28:20 +0000 Karie 2339624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your suggestions everyone!</p> <p>Angie, the Wit &amp; Wisdom jeans are in stock in my size at the Cherry Hill, NJ Nordstrom’s, and I will be traveling to Cherry Hill for a family birthday party. I’m sure I’ll be able to find time to stop in and try them on! Fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339621 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:49:54 +0000 Angie 2339621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I've done well with wide leg jeans from Veronica Beard, Frame, COS, Madewell, United Colours of Benetton, and Banana Republic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339620 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:47:46 +0000 Angie 2339620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo <b>Suz</b>! Try many pairs, <b>Karie</b>. Especially the Paige wide legs and the Everlane. Try to find the Paiges elsewhere in your size. I bet they will pop back up.&nbsp;</p> <p>These caught my eye, and might be worth a look.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339546 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 22:23:52 +0000 slim cat 2339546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about Mother jeans? There is enough styles for high rise ( most of collection anyway ) and different length. And there is Friends and Family event on Bloomingdale's website ( 25% off many brands - Mother jeans included ).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339541 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 21:39:11 +0000 salt-sea 2339541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pleats start an inch below the bottom of the waist band. I find them very flattering, so much so that I tuck in many tops I wear with these. They give me more of a waist than most everything else in my wardrobe!</p> <p>Re-reading your post - maybe you were looking more for jeans. Though I would say give those Everlanes a try if you're open to non-jeans. I concur with Suz on the Gap jeans - I have a pair of the Washwell stride and a wide leg pleated pair that I'm pretty happy with - not as perfect a fit as the Everlanes but a nice fit.&nbsp; The waist is perhaps a little loose on the blue pair and the pleats are not as flattering. But workable and a great length and very comfortable. The Washwells are closer fitting in the hip area but pretty comfortable and flattering.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339533 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 20:22:55 +0000 Suz 2339533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So...my advice is to try a lot on!!&nbsp;</p> <p>When I decided to jump on the full length wide leg bandwagon I really did have to do a major shopping trip and try-on in-person session. I ended up with wide legs at all price points. I'd been wearing wider crops for several years. But the new wide legs were and are a bit different -- more A-line -- and for me, that change has been positive because I find them more comfortable and more flattering than my older versions. Anyway...I tried on jeans at Madewell, Levi, Anthro, Nordstrom, J. Crew, Scotch &amp; Soda, and I don't know where else. I ended up preferring one pair from Everlane and one pair from Anthro (the Paige jeans you linked). Note that they are cropped on the model but not on me. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Later on I also got wide legs at lower price points from Old Navy and a cropped pair from Gap. I like these almost as well!&nbsp;</p> <p>The Everlanes I got look much nicer than in the photo. They are substantial in weight and have a deep hem at the bottom that adds a bit of something special.&nbsp;</p> <p>For me, the wash, the weight of the denim, and the details of the cut are all relevant factors, and maybe a bit personal. But I know you will look amazing in this style so I hope you find your perfect pair!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339528 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 19:54:00 +0000 Karie 2339528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are very nice, salt-sea! How low do the pleats sit? Like, do they hit at the ab area or slightly below? I do best with a low sitting, stitched down, or folded over pleat - one that doesn’t accentuate the ab area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trends-i-could-use-help-shopping-for#post-2339521 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 18:03:15 +0000 salt-sea 2339521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have - and love - a pair of everlane’s way high drape pant. Fabric is nice; can dress up or down. Comes in two inseam measurements (30 &amp; 32”). I wear them with sneakers, loafers, flats. and everything from blouses to t shirts. Has belt loops but I generally wear without a belt. Waist sits nicely for me.

I’ll probably always have a pair or two hanging around in my closet because I still like my longer tops and tunics, but it’s time to move on. </p> <p>Here’s where I could use some help from all you fab fashionistas! The non-negotiables are a) must be high waisted and b) they must look good with a cool pair of sneakers as well as shoes. </p> <p>#1 -I’m in love with these! Of course they’re sold out in my size, but I’ll continue to stalk them. They’re from Shop Bop.</p> <p>#2 - These were in Suz’s latest post, and I adore them too! But you guessed it, sold out in my size. </p> <p>#3 They’re nice but I’m not sure how I feel about the fabric belt. From Macy’s.</p> <p>#4 - I kind of like these but something seems off - maybe they’re a bit too overall loose fitting looking, or perhaps I just don’t want to buy them from the same place where I buy a lot of gear (LL Bean). </p> <p>I’m looking for something with a structured, casual/dressy vibe. </p> <p>Any recommendations for me? What have you come across in the shopping you’ve been doing? </p>
