I’m still loving my barrels. But I guess the way some people feel about barrels is how I feel about skinnies. So there’s that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412093 Sun, 03 May 2026 18:35:51 +0000 Lisa 2412093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your barrels, they are the perfect barrel shape, not too exaggerated, just enough to enjoy the silhouette. A lovely versatile color too. They pair so well with the white top and denim jacket. And my matchy matchy gene can't help but notice how well that necklace matches the pants, so fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412086 Sun, 03 May 2026 17:56:53 +0000 kellygirl 2412086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right up my alley. Great outfits! &nbsp;I haven't met a barrel I didn't like thought - exaggerated to slim. They're all fun. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412084 Sun, 03 May 2026 17:38:21 +0000 LJP 2412084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it’s the more exaggerated horseshoe and stiff denim silhouettes that garner negative comments . I’m sort of over the look at this point but will still wear my Lululemon sportier ones and my leopard print pair . I have a pair of wool barrels that are quite tailored and more suited for fall - we’ll see how they look when I pull them out again in September . I don’t expect to invest any more in this trend and don’t want to wear any denim barrels now . Admittedly went a bit overboard over the past 2 years . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412083 Sun, 03 May 2026 17:19:38 +0000 Angie 2412083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fab, <b>Janet</b>! The necklace is smashing with the pants :)</p> <p>I love my barrels! Just like you! I'm also on Team Stiff Rigid Denim - unlike most of you ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>The YLF community gets all my "social media" time!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412080 Sun, 03 May 2026 16:38:53 +0000 Janet 2412080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I don’t care much for the stiffer, heavier fabrications or more exaggerated versions, but I really like the lightweight, soft and drapey versions that aren’t too extreme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412077 Sun, 03 May 2026 16:13:37 +0000 JP 2412077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Star.<br /> I am also not a fan of the heavier weight fabric ones that stand away from the body, but I like yours, the lighter, flowier fabric versions. Enjoy wearing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412076 Sun, 03 May 2026 16:01:12 +0000 Star (Lise) 2412076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can definitely laugh it off because these barrels are really good. I'm personally not a huge fan of rigid denim barrels but am seriously falling for the lighter fabric ones Fabbers are sporting. I realise I prefer the lighter more flowy fabric versions of wider leg pants in general. I will definitely get a pair when the right one finds me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-barrel-pant-backlash#post-2412075 Sun, 03 May 2026 15:55:54 +0000 Janet 2412075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been seeing some social media posts with such hatred for barrel pants that it’s made me laugh. I don’t know why some people seem so judgy about other people wearing a style they don’t personally enjoy. </p> <p>So yesterday I laughed again as I pulled out my olive Nili Lotans and enjoyed the heck out of wearing them to spend some time at my studio (open to the public for the day) and wander around my city’s annual Flower Mart festival, which is always a lovely diversion on a spring day. </p> <p>Feeling rebellious in barrel pants! LOL </p>
