I'm glad the smaller size worked better. I agree with CocoLion too about shoes. Also that these are not conventional or conservative or classic pants should be duly noted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983887 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 15:49:58 +0000 Diana 983887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these!&nbsp; I would wear them.&nbsp; (I own two pairs with a similar shape.)&nbsp; </p> <p>I prefer this pair to the other.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983761 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:55:25 +0000 ironkurtin 983761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally could not rock these, I have no hips and so harem pants bag around my crotch.&nbsp; You, however, are blessed with a girl shape!</p> <p>I have to say I don't adore this pattern, but if you do, ignore me.&nbsp; Personally, I would isolate what I love about these pants - shape, fabric, fit, etc. - then try to find a pair that would be more versatile.&nbsp; But that is just me, so take with salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983683 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:48:09 +0000 Karie 983683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a baggy pant but I do prefer them in woven fabrics. Knits make it feel like pajama time! I also think they look best with a heeled shoe, but I have worn mine with my gladiator-esque sandals. I also think you have to surrender to the rear view.</p> <p>I like the on you - I think they look current and cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983678 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:42:41 +0000 Mochi 983678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're cool and have potential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983669 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:35:30 +0000 shedev 983669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these better than the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983643 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:57:29 +0000 froggiebecky 983643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thistle, I'm with you--the rear view doesn't enthral me. I tried on a smaller size, (not pictured), and it worked a bit better.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shoes? I have no idea. My first thought is a gladiator sandal, but I think that would be shortening + shortening on my already short legs. Probably not the best solution. The model shows it with a black patent leather pump.&nbsp;</p> <p>unfrumped--You make some good points. I tried on a knit version in a different shop and didn't like it at all--I felt like I was wearing pyjamas. So woven fabric is the winner here. A possible plus is that I could potentially wear these as ankle pants. I've got short legs, and didn't realize when I first put them on that they were intended to sit like this. It wasn't until I went to mess with the hemline that I noticed the elastic and realised they were supposed to be cropped! They've been pushed up in this shot.&nbsp;</p> <p>torontogirl--I tried them on again with a white tee and liked it better. I agree that a pointy toe heel is probably the best shoe solution here.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've found a second set of potential slouchy pants (in a separate post...sorry, don't know how to link yet)..they lie flatter across the bottom (well, all around the waist), but don't have the trendy, relaxed silhouette. They actually look like they fall more into the "pyjama wear" trend. And a bonus (to me)--they're not black and white! So they may be a solution, too. I won't be getting both pairs.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983624 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:32:09 +0000 Helena 983624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi, i'm no expert but i think those would be great with a pointy heel - i'd pair with something simple and fitted-flowy (i'm visualizing a white drapy blouse that's not super-fitted so everything looks modern but slightly relaxed. i'm by no means a styling expert but that's what i see. good on you for trying them out!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983617 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:12:23 +0000 unfrumped 983617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I centered out I started with a solid color as it was so much easier to remix with tops and footwear.<br /> I would think mre about the length if you are just starting to explore and have some time to look. A full length slouchy is a little easier to create longer leg lines and tolerates different heel heights. OTOT , carpe diem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983612 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:00:34 +0000 Thistle 983612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of the rear view, but could just be the angle. I do like the front view. What shoes would you pair with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983577 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:03:08 +0000 Anonymous 983577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! I agree that you need the right shoes with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983543 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 06:47:59 +0000 CocoLion 983543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them combined with the striped top! &nbsp;So definitely cool. &nbsp;However, this outfit could quickly become un-cool with the wrong footwear. &nbsp;Very modern footwear is essential with pants this bold so everything looks intentional. &nbsp;You have my permission to buy a new pair of shoes to go with this new style direction! &nbsp;It's a big step and I congratulate you for finding something outside of the skinny pant. &nbsp;There are lots of flowy track pants coming out this season that you might love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983538 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 06:39:55 +0000 lyn* 983538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are so slouchy cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983523 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 05:41:17 +0000 froggiebecky 983523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wear them to work, most likely (I'm a PhD student...so I can pretty much wear what I like). Pair with sandals once it warms up, or with some ballet flats if I needed to be in the lab (no open toe shoes).&nbsp;I'd also wear them on the weekend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983502 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:40:51 +0000 celia 983502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cut but it depends where you intend to wear those pants with that print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983499 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:35:31 +0000 Deborah 983499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see why not.&nbsp; As long as the fit is good and your overal proportions work should be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whack-a-doo-or-cool#post-983491 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:14:16 +0000 Adelfa 983491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them!

I hate skinnies, and have stuck to my guns on bootcut jeans and trousers. you all are broadening my horizons....I decided to try on some relaxed cuts. It would definitely be a landscape changer if I got them! </p> <p>Yay or nay? Both on this particular pair and the silhouette in general. Can I pull it off? </p>
