Even though I hate the idea of ordering clothes from Amazon...at some point what you can afford and the access you have at b&amp;m comes into play . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167680 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 20:46:55 +0000 Laurie 2167680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These do look similar, and they look great on you. Thanks for modeling these nice items!</p> <p>I've been sucked onto the Lulu bandwagon of late (my yoga instructor is a store ambassador and she gets me discounts occasionally). I'm 100% on brand at this very moment, in fact. The quality is hard to beat, but I've also had good luck with less expensive items over time. I have a few pairs of 90 Degree tights that are great.</p> <p>Researching, found this on topic of inexpensive yoga pants:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-yoga-pants-for-women.html">https://nymag.com/strategist/a.....women.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167604 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 14:31:15 +0000 Helena 2167604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p><b>Robin</b>, I would say it's stretchy but still structured enough to feel like pants, if that makes sense ... they are stretchier than they look, let's say.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>crst</b>, no fuzz issues here ... mind you I don't have pets ... but they don't seem to be one of those fabrics that particularly clings to fluff.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>suntiger</b>, definitely opaque, and definitely dressy enough to be casual-but-not-gear pants ... today I am wearing them with one of my BR merino knits and will wear my Blondo ankle booties for the grocery run ... granted they would look cooler with white sneakers but I am with you, I don't do seasonal confusion when it's frostbite temps out! (today's outfit in Finds). I think the contrast of the burgundy boots will look better than black would, but black would work too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167591 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 14:00:00 +0000 Glory 2167591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena these look great. I love the idea of putting the leggings under to walk outside. The 4 way stretch is great and so comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167588 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 13:48:45 +0000 RobinF 2167588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look great! I have been looking for something just like that, mid-weight, straight leg. So many are super baggy in the leg if I get the waist to be comfy. How is the elastic? Is it stiff or pretty stretchy?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167475 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 19:45:30 +0000 Angie 2167475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute!

I'm glad they come in different lengths so may try them in the 30s. Is the fabric dressy enough for normal casual wear, and are they fully opaque? I love Runcarlas but would want them full length too! Saw a lot of bare ankles yesterday at Trader Joes, with temps about freezing and wind- I just don't get it...<br /> I've been wearing these at home, but wouldn't to go into town. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167361 Sun, 24 Jan 2021 03:26:46 +0000 Helena 2167361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did ...

I have been thinking of doing just that also!&nbsp;<br />Sorry for the tangent, the pants look great!

I think I didn't want to put the name of my town as it's so small (I'm from Toronto but now live outside it) ... Just for privacy but yes I'll change it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167312 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 21:45:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2167312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look attractive and comfy. What more can one ask?<br /> BTW, I see you have added your first name in. If you ever end up dropping the “Torontogirl” part, please put Toronto into your profile rather than GTHA or whatever it is for those of us who have no idea what that is? Even I know where Toronto is. ( I have once been through the airport is all! Otherwise I have been only in Western Canada since our relatives live in Saskatoon). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167307 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 20:59:20 +0000 Mirjana 2167307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look, comfy and lovely. I like that kind of pants for winter. Good choice TORONTOGIRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167299 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:51:26 +0000 Helena 2167299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nemosmom, yep - I'd say ideal for spring temps!</p> <p>Lisa, I don't have the Lululs, could never bring myself to pay for them, so I am going just from my visual in the store, and outfit posts of the Lulus online. I am finding them a comfortable house temp, but if I go for a long walk, I'll stick my HeatTech leggings underneath. I'd call them&nbsp;<br />mid-weight.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167296 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:42:43 +0000 Anonymous 2167296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d be interested to see them side by side with the Lulu version for comparison - just out of curiosity . But Carla’s right , the style has become ubiquitous now . I actually rarely- ok, never - wear any of mine in the winter as I find them a little chilly on their own . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167294 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:37:32 +0000 nemosmom 2167294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great on you!&nbsp; Would you say their weight is ok for spring weather?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167293 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:35:43 +0000 Helena 2167293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree Carla! I love these ones ... the ones I looked at a Reitmans were a little thin (the black ones), but I'll keep an eye as these things change season to season. I think these ones were a little heavier in fabric, weren't they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167292 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:30:09 +0000 Carla 2167292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! &nbsp;I think the&nbsp;<i>style&nbsp;</i>has become very popular, and many ‘houses’ are making a version, though in different fabrics. &nbsp;The Merlot bottoms I’m loving so much are an example. &nbsp;I’m thinking it won’t be hard to replace when my black ones give out (probably this year.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---on-the-fly-dupes-aka-my-jeans-are-in-trouble#post-2167288 Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:14:58 +0000 Helena 2167288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi friends, I mentioned that I had ordered a pair of dupes for Lululemon's On The Fly pants off Amazon (also called On the Fly, suspiciously).</p> <p>Well, I love them. They fit well, are super comfy, have a decent weight to the fabric (although I wouldn't call them thick), and I think look pretty much like their Lulu twins, at less than half the price. I think they will pair as nicely with my merino knits as they do with a cotton t-shirt, making them very versatile. The leg is slim but not skinny, and they don't puff out too much at the hip.</p> <p>Here I have them stylishly paired with fuzzy house slippers But I think the ideal styling would be with white sneakers, like in the Find photo. I have turned up the hems a little as I would like them slightly more cropped, but I don't want to hem them as the length will make them more wearable for winter.</p> <p>I do think for a walk outside in winter, they will need tights underneath to be warm enough.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyways, a good option to consider for those who don't want to pay Lulu prices for this style of pant. Here's the link as it's hard to get the details in the photo with a black pant.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.ca/Yogipace-Petite-Regular-Lightweight-Commute/dp/B07S7N2WB2">https://www.amazon.ca/Yogipace.....B07S7N2WB2</a> </p>
