I thought it would last but as I felt better I gained it back. Now some pants I bought last year don't fit.</p> <p>I don't think we should go around in things that don't fit, but I sort of wish I had bought things slightly loose instead of fitting great last year. Then this year they might be slightly tight but still usable. I would say get one or two great basics, but don't go on a shopping spree until you see if it feels permanent. Of course, how do we decide that? Mine lasted a year but obviously wasn't permanent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouserjean-problem-help-needed#post-1054509 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:41:59 +0000 viva 1054509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's important to have well-fitting pants. If you have a good consignment shop, it could become your new best friend! If this weight loss is not permanent and your body settles into a new normal, there may be some more size adjustments in the future. A good consignment shop could ease you through those shifts without too much drain on your wallet -- and you could consign some of your old wardrobe, perhaps, to help offset the cost of new purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouserjean-problem-help-needed#post-1054507 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:40:20 +0000 pastrygirl 1054507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also very picky about fit, so when I dropped sizes this summer, enough to make my pants look terrible, I started replacing. At first it was just a couple of pairs -- one dark bootcut, one skinny/straight. But... within the month I had a whole new set of bottoms (skirts, trousers, and jeans). I shopped at TJ Maxx, Nordstrom Rack, and secondhand stores to keep the prices down. Of my too-big clothing,&nbsp;I kept my favorite pieces (enough to fill a large storage bin)&nbsp;and donated the rest.</p> <p>If I didn't have the budget for replacing everything, or if I wasn't sure this change was permanent,&nbsp;I could've made two pairs of jeans work. My husband wears the same exact style of jean and owns 3 pairs that he cycles through all week. It sure makes things easier! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouserjean-problem-help-needed#post-1054503 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:36:05 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1054503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're pretty good about sticking to a laundry schedule, I think two pairs would hold you over until you are able to determine whether or not your new physique is here to stay.&nbsp; &nbsp; I would say try your local consignment shop or Goodwill.&nbsp; That way, if you do regain your weight quickly, you haven't invested too much money.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouserjean-problem-help-needed#post-1054499 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:31:39 +0000 Astrid 1054499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think two well fitting new pair of jeans/pants are enough to start with, then you can wear one pair while the other gets washed. I don't think you need to replace more at once, I'd go slow and if you're really sure you won't gain it back soon you can always shop for more. </p> <p>But I think you can also tuck slightly slouchy pants into boots, I do it too. Have you tried to see whether some of the too big pants still look alright worn that way? </p> <p>ETA</p> <p>Maybe try to find similar styles to the two pairs you wore most often before you lost weight in your new size?</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouserjean-problem-help-needed#post-1054493 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:24:41 +0000 Liz A. 1054493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has happened to me multiple times.&nbsp; As I am very picky about fit, I always ended up replacing all my pants... gradually of course.&nbsp; I don't spend a ton of money on my clothes (or at least I haven't in the past), so I didn't mind so much seeing all of them go. <br />I have had work trousers taken in.&nbsp; Usually, they will be taken in at the center back, so this does distort pocket fit.&nbsp; I didn't mind that so much, but it depends on your tolerance for such things.&nbsp; Make sure you ask them to take the legs in as well if that matters to you.<br />Jeans will never look good after being taken in IMHO, so that's where I would spend the most dollars to replace.&nbsp; If you think the weight loss is temporary, I would start slow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trouserjean-problem-help-needed#post-1054289 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:46:35 +0000 ramya 1054289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As many of you know, I have lost significant amount of weight . This ended up being on my waist , hip and backside.<br />Now almost all my trousers look slouchy . Even my skinnies (jeans) are no longer skinnies. <br />My Dh loved me in skinnies and now the trousers I have aren't exactly rear flattering.</p> <p>DH hates it:) But I ignored him pretty much all summer and now. With winter approaching I see a problem. What will I do with these trousers/jeans and boots?<br />I donot think replacing all of my trousers is an option.I am not even sure if this weight loss is gonna remain as it wasn't intentional, just happened.</p> <p>Even , if I replace, would a 2 pairs of jeans do? I wear lots of jeans especially during winter.</p> <p>I like my outfits to be neat and crispish. Any suggestions?</p> <p> </p>
