Maybe because we're so used to jeans being within a certain range of shapes -- and denim is usually quite a structured fabric -- that jeans with this enormous amount of drape sort of off-putting at first glance? They destabilize our certainty of what jeans can be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-in-the-world-are-these#post-1620652 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:27:47 +0000 chadya 1620652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>They look like the Dick VanDyke pants from Mary Poppins.

Like Angie said, it depends on the support act...and the attitude of the person wearing them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-in-the-world-are-these#post-1619251 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 20:11:52 +0000 viva 1619251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not for me, but surely for someone. Anna rocks the look in her link, but for me, it's because of her entire styling head to toe, and because of the exact pair of jeans she has on. I really do not like the fabric of the ones you posted, AT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-in-the-world-are-these#post-1619232 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 19:25:58 +0000 Marina 1619232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like this one specifically because of this fabric (looks too stiff, doesn't have a nice "fall"), but aren't those very similar to sarouel pants? I They may work well in slender girls or some specific cases like this one: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://taolegal.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/cal%C3%A7as-saruel-plus-size.jpg">http://taolegal.net/wp-content.....s-size.jpg</a><br />&nbsp;<br />But I think they don't work well for anyone with more "pronounced" buttocks (I mean buttocks specifically, not large hips). I saw a girl on the street with similar pants once and it took me a while to figure if she was wearing diapers, "fake bottom" pants or those trousers were creating a very strange effect...&nbsp;I know this sounds horrible, but that's how it looked on her (and how they would probably look on me too to be fair). </p> <p></p> <p>ps.: Annagybe totally "owned" the outfit :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-in-the-world-are-these#post-1619226 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 19:15:50 +0000 always trying 1619226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those I&nbsp; showed are in new denim arrivals from TJMaxx today.&nbsp; They call them underpass pants.&nbsp; I know if I, or anyone around where I am on a day to day basis, wore them would get funny looks, an possibly snickers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-in-the-world-are-these#post-1619220 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 19:06:45 +0000 Anonymous 1619220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They be man-repellers for sure!&nbsp; Love them on you, annagybe.&nbsp; Very celebratory and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-in-the-world-are-these#post-1619208 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:55:34 +0000 annagybe 1619208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair by R13, I'll have to dig up a picture.
