I think you wear them better than Michelle Obama. I think it’s a tricky type of pants but you wear it well. Maybe it’s the height </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2296107 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 01:20:20 +0000 Cee 2296107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great, but I don't think they'd save your life if you jumped out of an aircraft wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2296094 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 22:27:24 +0000 Irina 2296094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The silhouette is fresh and interesting, Janet. Love how easy they look. Effortless </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2296091 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 22:18:33 +0000 Janet 2296091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m late returning to this thread, sorry!</p> <p>Lisa, I haven’t tried lower-heeled boots with these pants yet. The Wang Kori boots might work! The cutout heel detail would be nicely shown off.</p> <p>Carol, yes! I think they’ll be good with some of my sandals, come spring and summer!</p> <p>Angie, woohoo! I adore her!</p> <p>Thanks for all the feedback, ideas, and enabling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295953 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 03:27:23 +0000 Jonesy 2295953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! You and Michele looking awesome :)! I prefer the striped sweater to the red v-neck, and the outerwear pic is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295948 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 02:56:32 +0000 rachylou 2295948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are the coolest. It’s funny, there’s something about the v of the red sweater neckline vs the collared v of the other sweater. I prefer the collared sweater. It’s a different sort of ‘slouch’. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295872 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 15:55:48 +0000 CarolS 2295872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sold! I don't really wear jeans at all in our cold weather because the layering required to wear them outdoors becomes too much as soon as I step inside. My Zara options are supposed to arrive on Friday. Meanwhile I tried in a few pair at Garage and came home with some red ones to think about. They are not subtle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295869 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 15:45:10 +0000 Janet 2295869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol, I’m convinced they *are* practical because it’s easy to layer something warm underneath them! Potentially warmer than jeans because it’s not always easy to fit a warm layer under a pair of jeans unless the jeans are baggy. </p> <p>Same concept I use for hiking pants — I love my looser pants because I can fit things in the pockets and there’s more room for full mobility (squatting and sitting, etc), and I can layer a really warm pair of Hot Chilly pants or a thin pair of Heattechs underneath depending on the conditions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295850 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 14:11:42 +0000 CarolS 2295850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol to your comment about them being chilly without a layer underneath. These are so totally impractical for my winter climate but I am still determined that I WILL have a pair or two... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295846 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 13:40:55 +0000 Janet 2295846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! They’re fun to wear and definitely breezy! A bit chilly without some extra layer underneath for winter, so be warned. </p> <p>They’re starting to pop up in retail, so expect to see more soon. It’s not common for me to be on the leading edge of a trend, but I do like the silhouette of these, if I get the top part right. There’s a certain sweet spot of fitted-ness in the top that I think really makes these pants work for me. The black turtleneck in the first post has it, I think. The red sweater is a little thin, and I have a tank top on underneath it here, which made the sweater bunch a little bit, rather than skim. I think I need a new silk cami. I had an old one but it was too short to tuck so I gave it away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295832 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 12:46:04 +0000 Anonymous 2295832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looove the second outfit!

I actually haven’t seen that style yet here in Australia. The look great, and I think you’ve styled them just fine. In a way I guess they’re almost like a bootcut…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295796 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 04:34:32 +0000 slim cat 2295796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - all the looks!

I like them both - and a great way to add volume. I might look for something similar!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295705 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 19:59:48 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2295705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shapes &amp; proportions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295701 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 19:42:48 +0000 Cardiff girl 2295701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well red is definitely your colour!These pants are terrific on you,they have that cool artistic vibe about them.l don’t mind the red jumper and the oxblood boots,l think it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295695 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 19:13:40 +0000 CarolS 2295695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these on you! Arty, chic, chill , awesomeness... The higher shaft boot makes it, although I think you will also be able to make good warm weather looks with strappy flat sandals (or chunkier platform sandals for that matter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295694 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 19:07:48 +0000 anchie 2295694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lke them a lot, they are very cool. Because they are statement piece I like them best in simple outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295692 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 19:02:44 +0000 Suz 2295692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I love them on you! Fab outfit for the event today! They are so billowy and fun! They look good with both sweaters. I can see how a streamlined boot would showcase vs. compete with the billow at the bottom but at the same time you need to be practical as well. I think this style works, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295691 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 19:01:48 +0000 LJP 2295691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are cool ! I prefer them with the simple red sweater . I like the style of the oxblood boots - which look black to me - what do your Wang boots look like with these pants ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parachute-pants#post-2295688 Sat, 10 Dec 2022 18:50:50 +0000 Janet 2295688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worn for an open house studio day today. Pic 2 is bundled up for outdoors. It’s chilly out but steamy in the studio, where for some reason the building heat is blasting me out. Last night I could not get the temp below 76. Ugh. I actually had the second combo on with the striped sweater, but realized that sweater would likely be too warm with the overheated studio. </p> <p>These parachute pants are the second ones I purchased, from a local shop. The fit is a bit closer on the waist and hip, so they’re a little less fidgety to wear. The grey is seamless with my wardrobe palette. But I may keep the olive Zara ones as well. They are both very lightweight so could be worn year-round. In winter I’d probably wear tights or heattech pants underneath if I were going to be outdoors for any length of time.</p> <p>I’m not 100% sure this red sweater and oxblood boots are the best pairing with these pants, but I thought I’d go with the red for the festive bright color. I feel like streamlined booties work a little better but that these boots work well enough. </p> <p>Comments and advice always welcome! </p>
