The subtle design is interesting but not too busy...a fun change for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456487 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 15:19:44 +0000 Hil 1456487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you you very much... I had a pair myself and I've unfortunately had to retire them because they're too big.</p> <p>I like Angie's suggestion of a crisp hem. I'm also seeing them with a cobalt blue top and your cobalt sandals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456469 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:55:27 +0000 Angie 1456469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVING the patterned pants, Debs. Nice LIGHT change.&nbsp;</p> <p>May I suggest having them hemmed. The roll on that style of pant in the slippery fabric doesn't work as well as on jeans and rigid cottons, if you know what I mean. I think you'll like them more with a crisp hem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456468 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:55:10 +0000 Diana 1456468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look great and I think you could work them into your wardrobe pretty easily.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have some similar and this is my favorite way I have styled them.&nbsp; I think you have a long vest like this too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456464 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:49:48 +0000 lyn67 1456464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great outfit Debs, just a bit more casual that I am used to see you in, but that's OK! You do need variety of outfits for a variety&nbsp;of&nbsp;formality levels.&nbsp;And I do think it totally&nbsp;blends in your&nbsp;usual&nbsp;wardrobe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456458 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:44:29 +0000 Anonymous 1456458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm joining the "look good" chorus. From my brief experience with your style, I think that this type of geometric pattern is very you. For me, the hesitation is in the cuff. They look great, but I wonder if they'd be even more fab without the roll, either with a knit tracksuit-type cuff (which might be hard to add, I don't know anything about tailoring) or hemmed and tapered to drape/scrunch slightly at the bottom and join the top of your shoe. Take my bossy ideas with a grain, though: I'm drawn to this look but not sure how to style it, so I'm not the best person to insert my opinions like I just did ;)</p> <p>Thinking of you and sending good vibes for your interview! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456433 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:15:27 +0000 AM 1456433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on but I understand how they feel like a bit&nbsp;of a departure (but in my eyes,&nbsp;a small departure at that). But from your comments, it sounds like you need a few items that allow you to make small shifts. If you genuinely feel good about making this small shifts, then they seem to play an important role. If every time you put them on you feel out of sorts...then I would say they're not making you happy. I'm looking forward to understanding where you net on these -- especially since you've mentioned being a brutal purger.</p> <p>And I'm a bit wrapped around the axel about a cohesive look (my issues). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456430 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:10:33 +0000 kkards 1456430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like this, sometimes we need something that's just a little different to change things up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456427 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:08:19 +0000 texstyle 1456427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too - they are a bit different than your usual pants, but they work to me because of the black/white tie in and they are a flattering style. As Joy said, the pattern is almost like a texture, which I really like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456422 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:05:55 +0000 Anonymous 1456422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of these (and mine) as more of a texture than a print and love them on you. I think that the stylish black tuxedo stripe and assymetrical top with trendy footwear and, the black/white color scheme keep them in your style persona. Now I can't wait to see if my black silky draped top and new EF shoes, all in the closet at home, will work with mine. I have loved them as a comfortable change from jeans and trousers but have worn mostly black on top so far.<br /> The way that you have styled these track pants looks like they will work well in a smart casual work capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456419 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 13:56:18 +0000 Janet 1456419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I think the pants and the whole outfit look totally fab on you, but I also completely understand having a little discomfort with patterned pants. These actually remind me a bit Ida pair I have that I have not worn a tremendous amount, but I enjoy anyway. I kinda have to be in the right mood to wear them, but I'm glad to have them when the mood strikes. </p> <p>Rest assured that these do look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456418 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 13:53:39 +0000 Karie 1456418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote of love for those pants! But <i><b>I</b></i> love patterned pants, do <i><b>you</b></i> love patterned pants? The style is one that you definitely rock, and if they were solid black I think you'd wear them in a heartbeat. Will you reach for them in your closet instead of your solids?&nbsp;The fit is spot on and the print is gorgeous. They aren't too busy, and are colors you love (black and white). I think it's a nice foray into patterned pants land for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456410 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 13:43:29 +0000 Anonymous 1456410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to join the chorus and say that I too think the slouchy pants look great! I really don't think that they are too far removed from your usual look at all and I can envisage them working with a few of your pieces. Great job and a fab look for today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456406 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 13:31:51 +0000 carolbee 1456406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look great, you could certainly incorporate them into your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456376 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 11:50:43 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1456376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these and feel they work well for your style.

I think the black side stripe makes them smart enough for your style, if that makes sense.&nbsp;<br />Good luck with the interview! Fingers crossed, I'm sure you will be great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456282 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 04:27:02 +0000 Neel 1456282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pants are a fun piece but not overly on your face kind of print. And you wore them to perfection here Good luck with your interview! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456277 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 03:41:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1456277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants look great on you, and they look like your style. They go really well with the slouchy top and sandals, and I can imagine they'll go with your drapey jackets, too. How exciting about the interview--good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456252 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 02:50:30 +0000 Tanya 1456252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that they look great and are a perfect piece to shake things up&nbsp; little bit.&nbsp; Good luck with the job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patterned-pants#post-1456249 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 02:43:54 +0000 Jaime 1456249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks terrific and may I say your arms are looking buff!
