I agree that the blue chambray top does give me a longer line which I like because I'm on the shorter side.<br />Firecracker: Thank you. Actually, DH may be coming around. He said that they now looked better than he first thought.<br />MomOfThree: I think petite sizes can pull them off but those of us who are shorter but not petite have a harder time with this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style/page/2#post-1794028 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 04:21:06 +0000 MomOfThree1980 1794028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think some people really pull it off. But me? No. I am 5 ft even they would swallow me and I would look so incredibly short and stock in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style/page/2#post-1794020 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 03:16:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1794020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had to add my 2 cents: you look fab in these jeans, Bonnie! I love them on you. I especially like #4--wow! Your chunky sandals are just right with these looks, too. Sounds like DH just needs a little time for his eyes to adjust. Those of us here on YLF have been looking at these silhouettes for a while now; it took me some getting used to, also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793980 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 02:02:04 +0000 Jaime 1793980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These looks terrific on you. In terms of traditional flattery, I think #3 creates a long line because the darker shirt sort of blends with the jeans. But these are plenty JFE+ without that consideration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793973 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 01:51:12 +0000 Bonnie 1793973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>smittie: Thank you. I was worried the black and orange would look too much like Halloween, but I think it works OK.<br />Jane: Thank you. The star tee is kind of fun.&nbsp;<br />UmmLila: Thank you. My DH even likes my harem pants better than these pants. The black sandals are very comfortable and seem to go with a lot of my wardrobe.<br />JAileen: Thank you. I appreciate your chiming in. I feel very insecure in these pants need confirmation that they look OK.<br />RobinF: Thank you. We have a long, hot summer so it will be nice to have a change from shorts and dresses.<br />Emily K: Thank you for your kind words.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793919 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 23:40:59 +0000 Emily K 1793919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do NOT think they make you look stocky--I think they are more than JFE and you've styled them attractively. &nbsp;The sandals are a really nice complement to the pants.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793897 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 21:13:00 +0000 RobinF 1793897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! &nbsp;My favorites are #4 and #5. I can definitely see that they would be cooler for summer than skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793892 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 20:43:28 +0000 JAileen 1793892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfits. The pants look fine on you. I love your sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793891 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 20:36:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1793891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband has the same preference for skinny jeans. </p> <p>I like all the looks you've put together -- and I like that rust colored jacket a lot, just in general. I also find that the black platform sandals ground the wide pants very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793885 Sun, 02 Apr 2017 20:28:22 +0000 Jane 1793885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspiring! I am getting into cropped pants now and your post is really helpful. I really like the shirt in 2, and the jacket with eh great collar in 4.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793715 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 23:25:54 +0000 Anonymous 1793715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I disagree with your DH: you do not look stocky at all! You have looooong legs and that is still apparent in these pants.<br /> I think all the outfits are great but my favourite is the one with the orange jacket (4). I like those colours best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793711 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 23:18:25 +0000 Bonnie 1793711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jipp: Thank you. Big thighs are my problem, too. Too bad, fashion doesn't care about minimizing them.<br />Jennib12: Thank you. It will be fun to see your outfits.<br />kkards: Thank you.&nbsp;<br />Bijou: Thank you. I think they will be cooler than skinnies and be a change from shorts and dresses.<br />tulle: Thank you. This is a difficult proportion for my pearish shape. Angie mentioned she like long or short tops over the wide legs so I tried some today and may post them another time.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793674 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 18:32:23 +0000 tulle 1793674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, I think you've mastered this difficult proportion as well as anyone I've seen.&nbsp; Every one of these looks is a winner, and believe me, I'm taking notes!&nbsp; I love the way those chunky sandals balance the added width, and I really want that graphic tee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793648 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 15:43:45 +0000 Bijou 1793648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants and much better than JFE because everything you have put them with looks great. I love these on you and think they will be much more comfortable than skinny jeans in warm weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793630 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 13:54:57 +0000 kkards 1793630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hard to pick a favorite, love them all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793619 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 12:31:32 +0000 Jennib12 1793619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great! If I saw you walking down the street in any of those outfits I wouldn't think "stocky," I'd think "wow, she pulls those off so well! I wonder if I could do that?" You've inspired me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793578 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 04:39:41 +0000 Anonymous 1793578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look wonderful and not remotely stocky, although I find nothing wrong with stocky either, I am she of big thigh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793567 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 03:49:18 +0000 Anonymous 1793567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in these. I don't see how anyone could think that you look stocky! Love the graphic tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793551 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 01:35:14 +0000 Bonnie 1793551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you penelopestylishapples. You have a fun name! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793544 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 00:36:42 +0000 penelopestylishapples 1793544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best with #1 and #4 - 1 for the shape, and 4 for the color contrast with the pants. Very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793530 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 23:09:50 +0000 Bonnie 1793530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ryce: Thank you. I bought my first Haring tee on vacation in DC last summer and just got four more at Uniqlo. They're fun!<br />Angie: Thank you for encouraging us to try wide leg pants. I've been inspired by seeing so many fabbers posting their outfits that I just had to give them another try.<br />JuniperGreen: Thank you. I bought the orange topper in the store, I would have never tried it just looking at the Find photo. Surprising, it seems to go with a lot of outfits.<br />StyleFan: Thank you. It does take time, especially when the look is not particularly flattering to someone who is short, high waisted, and a bit pear shaped.&nbsp;<br />Greyscale: Thank you. You inspired me to try the Gap wide leg pants. I loved the way you styled them.<br />Mirjana: Thank you. I like the short tops, too.<br />Summer: Thank you. The column of color is magical for someone like me.<br />Elizabeth P: Thank you. That shirt jacket does hit at un unflattering length. I'll add another photo that seems to work better.<br />CocoLion: Thank you. I'll still favor skinnies but the wide leg pants may be more practical for hot weather.<br />viva: Thank you. There are plenty of failed outfits and that's why taking photos is so important for me. It's gotten so that I won't wear anything until I've photographed it. It is kind of weird how I look the same in most photos. You are very kind.<br />mimimalist: Thank you. I agree with you about intentional conventional-unflattery. It can be fun.<br />Everyone: I responded to everyone at about 11:00 and then my computer stopped responding right before I hit Submit Reply. It seem the main something or other in my neighborhood is out and about 100 homes have no internet service.&nbsp;<br />I tried to add a photo and it failed, too. I'll try later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793442 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 18:08:17 +0000 minimalist 1793442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all, including the "stocky" #1. Yes, I see the non-optimal proportions there. But "stocky" is a look I've been enjoying with some mom-jeans (that felt too comfortable not to take home to try, then rang up at $0.01) and untucked men's dress shirts. Intentional conventional-unflattery can be a good look in its own way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793436 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:53:59 +0000 viva 1793436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Bonnie, how I love your WIWs. Is there anything that doesn't work on you? If so, you must not buy it. Because whatever you put on seems to be just perfect.</p> <p>I love all of these looks, and I think I might need that Keith Haring clock-head tee! I really love how it looks. (Plus, the image just&nbsp;hits so close to home!!).</p> <p>I love the color of the jacket in #1 on you, and I actually like the look of the jacket buttoned up with those pants .... but I can also see how it might work slightly better opened, ideally over either KH tee.</p> <p>I have to also comment that I am amazed at your photography and ability to stand and look exactly the same in every photo. If I flip quickly from look to look, it's as if you magically change from outfit to outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793435 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:52:39 +0000 CocoLion 1793435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #3 is more than JFE, it looks great. &nbsp;The tonal aspect between the topper and pants works well. &nbsp;I also like #2. &nbsp;I agree this is a breezier look than skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793405 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:10:54 +0000 Elizabeth P 1793405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely better than JFE.&nbsp; The only outfit I'm not keen on is #1, the proportions of that top (at least closed... would probably be fine open, given #3 works) are not as good as the others, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793396 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 16:53:36 +0000 Summer 1793396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better than JFE, Bonnie.&nbsp; I love these on you, especially with a column of colour underneath.&nbsp; Also, I agree that the wider legs will be nice and cool when the temperature rises. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793392 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 16:47:11 +0000 Mirjana 1793392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pants and agree with Angie,better short top. The best for me is #5 and then #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793390 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 16:43:17 +0000 Greyscale 1793390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are fantastic. Better than JFE for sure. I've been wearing the faded black ones so often the last few weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793382 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 16:32:54 +0000 Style Fan 1793382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie you have a great eye for graphic tees.&nbsp; I love the ones you have picked out.&nbsp; I like all the renditions.&nbsp; It can take some time to get use to new looks but I think you look more than JFE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-leg-pant-style#post-1793363 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 15:40:08 +0000 JuniperGreen 1793363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pants are more than JFE, you look great!
