I want to.play around with them even more SYC and find some best looks for different situations-- such as cooler vs warmer weather and dressing up.or down. I am learning more about what juxtapose with what. I also wanted to feel.like I could use them without making a single new purchase since this is more in the fun capsule. Your comments and all the WIW' s help me find the best combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-856593 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:49:05 +0000 CocoLion 856593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read all of the other comments, but I really like them on you.</p> <p>My preference is seeing them with low contrast tops, there's something bifurcating when paired with the white top although when jacketed, this issue disappears. Also how you've put a scarf on in #10 -- not so crazy about the outfit in #5, but in #10, it works. The eye is pulled longitudinally (?) rather than stopping at the waist and going no further.</p> <p>I also prefer the pants with the loafer type flats. The sandals seem too conservative with these trendy pants. However when you wear the sandals and blazer with the straight legged black pants, the outfit works.</p> <p>I did see a suggestion to try wedge booties with these, those would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-856586 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:35:51 +0000 Carole 856586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you make that look easy.LOVE the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-856512 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 03:20:32 +0000 Thistle 856512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in these, in all the ways you styled them, but especially #9.

I am pretty sure no one has ever rushed out to duplicate anything I've worn before. I hope these work out for you.</p> <p>Marley--thanks for chiming in. it's Palm Springs. I learned today that the dinner is inside the hotel---typical ballroom conference buffet set-up, usually. Many people will be quite casually dressed ( sometimes less than resort casual!) I believe, wearing the same thing to the meetings as to the dinner. Metallic does work well for indoor evening lighting and is fun w/o being overly sparkle-glitzy. Some kind of jacket is a must for me as well, as I freeze. The shirt in # 9 is a silvery subtle metallic fabric but is basically a T shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-856007 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:25:12 +0000 Marley 856007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! #9 is just killing me! So effortless! OK - about your CA resort hotel event. Part of it depends on just what part of CA you are going to - I live in So CAL and the temps will (probably) be much warmer here, than No CAL. Either way though - I think these pants would work well. I'd try wearing them with some metallic accessories (shoes? clutch? tank? etc.) to make them look a little more "party-ish" - and you'd be good to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855990 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:14:27 +0000 catgirl 855990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered these based on your pictures - they have them at my store so I can go get them today!</p> <p>So yes, you need to keep these. I hope they are not too long for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855989 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:14:10 +0000 AJ 855989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered these pants because of your post! </p> <p>I think all of your combinations are FAB! I like it best with the black smoking flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855977 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:03:26 +0000 sarah 855977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheez. Wow. Amazing. YOU LOOK FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855976 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:03:18 +0000 unfrumped 855976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you all are too much! I do really like them. Having fun. </p> <p>Claudia and suz, you are so right, these do skew more dressy and more long-leg with some heel. I can do a bit of heel--and I can wear my current wedge booties, but at 3", they are a stretch in comfort and literally walking pattern for me and I start to lose "effortlessness" that way. They were a gateway purchase, and I wish I could zap them into a 2" wedge. Just that 1" difference makes me feel more myself. I hope to include more oxfords for the next year or so, so that might work also.</p> <p>Rae and Shannon--whoa, you guys are some of my style icons for having signature looks and consistently great outfits--thanks for helping me along.</p> <p>Angie, please remain supine and elevate your legs above the level of your head to regain consciousness immediately! Thanks so much for continuing to boost my confidence. I am clearly having more luck with casual/smart casual than with work--thank goodness work is work, anyway. Any suggestions about how I could take some cues from these? I keep coming back to some of your posts on "toe in the water" for trends and that seems like how to approach work--my social life outfits can be more "daring" (for me!) but at work, this pants style would have to be more conservative and in different fabrications. (Also, no cool semi-tucking). Maybe just relax and keep aiming for a more straight or slightly tapered leg there rather than working too hard at it?</p> <p>Is there style persona coming through anywhere? The style aspect that appeals to me is the slight sportiness that is just a bit more "at ease" than full-on classic tailored, even elegant tailored. Not just the fit but the not-taking oneself too seriously. Fitted but not fragile. What is that? Sporty is a part of it, but I'm not athletic per se and so the sporty factor is more the idea of moving easily, walking naturally (hence aiming to stay focused on outfits that are okay with low heels) which I very much need for any hope of "effortless" dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855878 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:12:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 855878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP KEEP KEEP - and yes, I'm yelling it to make sure you hear me (lol)! These are fantastic on you and work in every single combination you've tried. And I love them with the fuchsia jacket.</p> <p>And now I want these pants - on darn you international ordering!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855877 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:12:16 +0000 Angie 855877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief. </p> <p>Your style quotient just skyrocketed. It's AMAZING how *one* on trend piece can change the landscape of your wardrobe. WOW!!!</p> <p>This is the best set of outfits you have ever posted. I have never seen you look better.

Please keep! </p> <p>Did you try them with your wedge bootie? They will look terrific with those. </p> <p>I like them best in #1 with the blue top. The simplicity of that just sings to me. But they are clearly very versatile. You will enjoy them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855802 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:01:59 +0000 cciele 855802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am impressed by the variety of looks you have there--and they all work to my eye. What a versatile pair of pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855793 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 17:56:50 +0000 Claudia 855793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am biased, but I think these look absolutely GREAT on you. Very smart and stylish. Don't they feel wonderful on? And did you try them on with a heeled shoe? I loved how that looked, plus it instantly dressed them up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-leith-woven-track-pant--reveal#post-855780 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 17:49:04 +0000 unfrumped 855780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Nordstrom Leith poly track pants arrived. I ordered my usual size to aim for a relaxed but not super slouchy fit. So, I pulled out half my closet to see what might go.<br /> In case anyone is considering: The pants are full length on me. The ankle zip fit is pretty snug &amp; tapered, so the result is the gathering effect at the calf—so, scrunch, but above-ankle scrunch. In a couple of the pics I show one leg zipped &amp; one partially unzipped. Unzipped the leg will fall lower on the foot/shoe and so this provides a kind of style adjustment feature. Despite the dreaded elastic waist, the waistband is wide and stitched down plus the adjustable drawstring. Amongst elastic waist styles, I find that more wearable and flattering than a simple drawstring through a casing. </p> <p>For me these would be smart casual/casual and not-work. I expect the light poly fabric to be for mild spring and fall—not mid-summer. I wonder could you layer tights for season extension or would get static cling problem?</p> <p>I show mostly flats to give the worst-case scenario on shortening the leg line. I have to be able to wear them with low heel and closed toe in order to get enough use out of them.</p> <p>#1 AT blue dot blouse and 2 different color Tahari-TJ Maxx reptile flats of the same style (maybe over-did last year trying to get some interesting but comfortable flats)</p> <p>#2 White cotton sweater/2 shoes</p> <p>#3 Reptile ruffle front blouse with pant ankles zipped/unzipped. Ancient black flats I resurrected this fall as they evoke smoking slipper and are so comfortable</p> <p>#4 AT taupe silk shirt</p> <p>#5 &amp; 10 Boxy sweater w-w/o animal print scarf. Scarf volume looks a little overwhelming so can try narrower.</p> <p>#7 Wedge sandals for different effect. BR metallic T and WH/BM rayon moto. Sandals may be dated already? Still I’m more likely to be able to wear some kind of a wedge shoe for longer leg-line than a hoochie pump look. I’d like to use these ‘cause I’ve got ‘em, and not buy a shoe just for these pants.</p> <p>#8 Changeup to lace pants this time, with same toppers</p> <p>#9 Sleeveless ruffle top with fuchsia blazer. </p> <p>What do you think? I think I will wear these and see how I feel. Haven't even pulled out colorful T's and such to try. Does this help anyone else make a decision on these or similar pants?</p> <p>Also, I’m going to a CA resort hotel next weekend for a professional conference. One “event” is a dinner—typically buffet/resort -casual—the venue hasn’t been announced so I’m not sure if will be set up inside the hotel or poolside. Temps warm days but cooler nights. Could you see something like the fuchsia jacket/track pants outfits working? Usually I feel compelled to aim for lighter "resort" colors &amp; tans, creams and my conference day wear is currently aimed that way. Other folks will be guy docs in khakis and lady docs will be in a variety of things, not always predictable.</p> <p>Thanks for any comments! </p>
