You do have a waist and it looks really good in #4. You look smart, professional and approachable, so you style matches your descriptors. You look very authentic too, this is not a uniform, but reflects who you are. Your scarves really add personality into your clothing and I love the colours you have chosen, classic but not boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1899629 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 03:19:53 +0000 krishnidoux 1899629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is outfit 4! It conveys professionalism, dynamism and approachability.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898727 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 01:03:16 +0000 ChrisM 1898727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all your comments!<b>&nbsp; Windchime</b> - its a good day when we can find trousers long enough, right?! <b>Smittie </b> - I think you're right about he cardi I wore, but I'm pretty self conscious about exposing my waistline.&nbsp; You'd think I should be over that by now.&nbsp; <b>Jenni</b> - good idea - the cardi in #1 is shaped a bit so I'll give it a try.&nbsp; <b>Shevia</b><b>, Cardiff, Cat, Katerina, Kate</b> - thank you so much for the kind words.&nbsp; Sometimes I over-think the color palette, and I wish I loved bright colors the way that Angie does, but it just isn't my thing.&nbsp; <b>Robin F</b>- I think you're on to something re: shorter, fitted on top.&nbsp; Keeping my eyes peeled for something like that.&nbsp; <b>Angie</b> - it's a different feel, though, right?&nbsp; It's getting used to trousers that swoosh rather than touch my legs.</p> <p>And just for the record, I found a picture of myself taken in the 70's - guess what I was wearing?&nbsp; Yep, groovy wide leg chinos!! And platforms!! (even at 5'10" . . .)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898650 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 20:36:18 +0000 Aurore 1898650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think outfit #4 looks really great, very flattering proportions and color palette! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898641 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 20:10:10 +0000 Kate 1898641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in these wide leg chinos!

The colours you choose really suit you and your scarves and the ways you wear them are great. The wide chinos look great - personally I love wide legged trousers. You made a great purchase IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898571 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 16:27:32 +0000 RobinF 1898571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eye hasn't adjusted to wide leg pants yet but I do think these look good on you. I'd love to see them with a shorter, more fitted top. Love your scarf looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898570 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 16:15:05 +0000 Angie 1898570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you can wear the wide legs. They look spewer cute. Bless their length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898568 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 15:48:08 +0000 The Cat 1898568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, all of them!

I think mine has been too, since 2007!<br /> I think the cardi in pic 1 may be worth trying with the pants in pic 4? I'm a long over lean fan as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898376 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 01:47:19 +0000 Anonymous 1898376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello ChrisM!<br /> I think the pants in 4 are great and I don’t see anything off about them :-)</p> <p>I wonder if you could try the look without a long cardigan, it would be more of a “lean over long” look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898368 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 01:01:56 +0000 Windchime 1898368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you had to buy them! This tall woman totally gets it. I’ve been studying your pictures, especially #1 and #4, which are quite similar. I agree that something about #1 seems to work a bit better, but I’m not quite sure why. Perhaps if you tied the scarf in #4 the way it’s tied in #1? Or wore #4 with a longer shirt or sweater, such as in #3? </p> <p>I also wanted to say how well you achieve your three Style Goals in your outfits: you look confident, smart, and approachable in all of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---and-wide-leg-trousers#post-1898363 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 00:39:09 +0000 ChrisM 1898363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a pair of AT wide leg chino trousers on super-duper clearance. How could I pass them by? Especially in a 12 tall? In store? Unheard of!</p> <p>I usually do a long-over-lean style - this is diffeeent enough that I could use some advice on making this wide leg style work for me.</p> <p>I am an accounting consultant, so my style goals are Confident, Smart, Approachable.</p> <p>Photos 1, 2, 3 are my Casual Business wear uniforms - cardigan or tunic, scarf, slim pants, boots or clogs. Photo 4 is my first attempt at styling the trousers: white shirt, scarf tied to resemble a gentleman's necktie, long cardi, clogs.</p> <p>My waist has been MIA since, oh, 2010, so the illusion of waist definition is usually what I aim for.</p> <p>My closet is a collection of basics and I use accessories to give them flavor.</p> <p>What do you think? Is there hope for this style to work for me? What am I missing? There’s just something a little off that I can’t quite pull my finger on...</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
