I really liked it, but decided I wanted a wool sweater instead of cotton. I think either looks good on you, but I am a tad more partial to the blue.</p> <p>I like the regular Sloans. I like the idea of the skinny ankle ones, but I hate fussing with cuffs like Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-br-sloan-pants-and-sequin-sweatshirt-again#post-1057126 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 01:37:03 +0000 Carole 1057126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ps good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-br-sloan-pants-and-sequin-sweatshirt-again#post-1057125 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 01:36:51 +0000 Carole 1057125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I felt qualified to help you but pant lengths are not my strong suit so I am reserving that for the experts but will watch here with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-br-sloan-pants-and-sequin-sweatshirt-again#post-1057099 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 01:08:33 +0000 Suz 1057099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the navy sequinned sweater on you best -- and if you get it, we are sweater twins! &nbsp;:-)&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the pants, gosh, it is really tough to say. I like the Sloans in #2. But I also like the navy ones in #2 and if they are a bit too long they could always be hemmed. I'm not sure they are too long, actually -- if you like a bit of scrunch. I have several dressier pants with scrunch like that -- a bit of pooling at the bottom makes for a "fluid fit" look.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the regular ankle length Sloans, that is tricky. I have played with pants like this, too. The way they <b>LOOK</b> is not bad, to my eye. But do they pass the sit test? Mine at this length are forever getting stuck on the top of my booties and I have to do all kinds of adjustments to get them right when I stand up. They work better with pumps or shoes that have a low vamp.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-br-sloan-pants-and-sequin-sweatshirt-again#post-1057076 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:45:13 +0000 kellygirl 1057076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Martins are brilliant on you but it's nice to have some other non-denim options. The boot cuts look great! I never have much luck at BR but you certainly do!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-br-sloan-pants-and-sequin-sweatshirt-again#post-1056940 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 22:01:38 +0000 Makrame 1056940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kelly! &nbsp;I suspect that I should keep the bootcut trouser style Sloans and return the "slim fit ankle Sloans" (4-6). &nbsp;The length on those is sort of awkward (too long in the long length and too short for closed footwear in the regular ankle length). &nbsp;I am probably better off continuing to use Martins (#1) as my go-too slim pants since they seem to fit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-br-sloan-pants-and-sequin-sweatshirt-again#post-1056935 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 21:53:44 +0000 kellygirl 1056935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a little confused but I love the pants in 1 and 2. I think the pants in 1 are slim without being too slim. I love the more boot cut style in 2 and think you can wear them a titch longer too. I like the pants in 3 and the length looks good to me. It's hard to tell the length in 4 and 5 because of the dark footwear but I do think the blue pants in look a little on the short side. Love the grey sweatshirt. The fit looks fluid and seems like it would go with everything!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-br-sloan-pants-and-sequin-sweatshirt-again#post-1056909 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 20:58:20 +0000 Makrame 1056909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted earlier about trying some BR sloan slim ankle pants&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-sloan-slim-ankle-pants---about-ankle-pants-with-booties-faux-tuck">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ooties-fau</a>&nbsp;and sequin houndstooth sweatshirts&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-sequined-sweatshirt-for-the-sparkle-shy---can-it-work-kr">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....it-work-kr</a>&nbsp;and having some questions about size/length/color. &nbsp;WIth the Sloans, I was looking for one or two pairs of work pants to add to my BR Martin skinnies (#1 is one of the current outfits with the Martins). &nbsp;I like the Martins but sometimes they feel too skinny or a bit&nbsp;too long/narrow at the bottom to work with booties.&nbsp; I was looking for a slightly less body-con fit and the length&nbsp;that might work well with booties; an added bonus would be belt loops for faux-tucking. &nbsp;I ordered several pairs of Sloan fit pants since they come in the same non-wool fabrication as the old Martins.</p> <p>#1 - old Martin skinny pants. &nbsp;Still fit well but no belt loops.</p> <p>#2 - Sloan trousers (different from Sloan slim fit ankle pants)&nbsp;in black. &nbsp;I folded the hems about an inch, otherwise they are too long. &nbsp;I think the fit is good. &nbsp;The only thing that puzzled me was how the legs sort of narrow down at the knee and flare out above and below but I guess that is a fairly classis bootcut trouser fit. &nbsp;It is not noticeable in person, only when I look at some of the photos. I am pretty sure these are keepers/</p> <p>#3 - first Sloans (slim fit ankle pants)&nbsp;that I tried a week ago. &nbsp;These are dark navy, long length (I was hoping to be clever and get full length pants instead of ankle length). &nbsp;Too long.</p> <p>#4, 5, and 6&nbsp;- Sloan slim fit ankle pants, regular length (dark navy in 4 and 5, blue in 6). &nbsp;Awkward length or would it work? &nbsp;What about the fit?</p> <p>I also was able to track down the sequin sweatshirt in navy size M - previously it looked like M fit better than S but M was only available in grey. &nbsp;What are your thoughts on color (photo 4)&nbsp;- navy or grey? </p>
