Personally I agree that shortening it would lose its drama - instead I would wear it with more of the pants rise visible (i.e. with a shorter top, if you don't wish to tuck) OR with a waist belt (to draw the eye up, instead of to the hems). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320221 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 23:34:23 +0000 Sal 2320221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Catherine and Dee.</p> <p>I was definitely a bit ambitious to think about sleeveless in late April. We didn't get a lot of lovely summer days so I want to stretch out the summer into almost winter.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320220 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 23:31:37 +0000 catherine 2320220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the first one with the black sleeveless top. All are good on you. Many thanks for showing us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320202 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:41:33 +0000 Dee 2320202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the coatigan, but it does seem a bit overwhelming for this outfit. Love your pink sweater with the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320199 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:28:18 +0000 Sal 2320199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Star, Lyn and Sally.</p> <p>I purchased the coatigan last year from an expensive thrift shop - it cost 50$ - and my plan was for evening occasions as a topper. I wore it quite a few times- and really like it. I don’t want to alter it but I think it is quite a lot of fabric which limits its use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320106 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 10:07:12 +0000 lyn67 2320106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, linen is a summery fabric, so my fave is nr 1! The coatigan is a bit overwhelming to my eyes as it is also black, I dunno... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320098 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 09:06:21 +0000 Star (Lise) 2320098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice Sal!&nbsp; I also thought maybe if the coatigan was a bit shorter it would be perfect (with this outfit).&nbsp; Great coatigan though, very cool vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320090 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 06:52:39 +0000 Sally 2320090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the long black coat with the pants.&nbsp; They are great pants on you and I like all three styling options.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320073 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 03:12:47 +0000 Sal 2320073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Slimcat, Jaime, Irina, Indigoprint and Angie.</p> <p>I think that might be it Brooklyn - it's getting the balance right in the shoulder seasons.&nbsp; I don't particularly change my colours seasonally but linen doesn't feel like a winter fabric (and to me corduroy or velvet don't feel like summer fabrics).&nbsp; The pink sweater can work across seasons (not summer) but the coatigan really feels too wintery for the pants.</p> <p>I don't have many true winter pieces and I have come to the conclusion to keep winter clothes tight and practical.&nbsp; These are really the only three pieces I would consider exclusively winter.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320067 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 03:01:10 +0000 slim cat 2320067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new pants! The black topper maybe just fine with boots or scarf/jewelry - lots of possibilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320065 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 02:56:40 +0000 Brooklyn 2320065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. I like 1 and 3.</p> <p>I think the silhouette in 2 works but feels a bit seasonally confused with linen. I think a similar silhouette with wool pants and boots would look fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320062 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 02:44:43 +0000 Jaime 2320062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great all three ways to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320038 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 01:03:50 +0000 Irina 2320038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the one with the pink sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320032 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 00:56:48 +0000 Indigoprint 2320032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All good. I really like the unexpected( to me) punch with that pink sweater..it has great sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320030 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 00:52:09 +0000 Angie 2320030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU ROCK THESE KILLER PANTS, <b>Sal!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>Try slides with them too. Or sandals.....</p> <p>Pink sweater and black top are easy and fab pairings! I like the long dramatic coatigan too. Works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320027 Wed, 26 Apr 2023 00:19:24 +0000 Sal 2320027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz - I will try the coatigan with black booties, these pants and a different top or lighter scarf.&nbsp; I think they would feel a bit seasonally confused in the middle of winter - I now do like to give clothes a rest for three months or so (kind of capsule but not really) even if I "could" wear them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa - I think the long topper could work, I wore it a fair bit last winter (mostly with jeans and boots) - it's not very cold here just grey and windy today.</p> <p>Tanya- thanks - I agree I think the coatigan here needs boots or something else.&nbsp; I didn't have time to play - just did a quick mirror check and thought no (and took the pic!)</p> <p>This trans-seasonal look is needed here - March to May and Sept to November often need a versatile approach in NZ!&nbsp; One day I could be in a tank top (Saturday) and then yesterday in a puffer.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320022 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 23:25:03 +0000 Anonymous 2320022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all work to my eye! I was wondering about toppers with linen pants since it was cooler this am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320020 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 23:05:24 +0000 Tanya 2320020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants, love them both with pink and black.&nbsp; I am with Lisa here, I love the dramatic effect of the long coatigan, but may try that outfit with black booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320017 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 22:54:48 +0000 LJP 2320017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like both looks and love the drama the long cardigan adds . Super chic to my eye and takes the look up a notch . Great pink sweater too !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320016 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 22:40:34 +0000 Suz 2320016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal,</b> those pants look fantastic on you. Amazing they work&nbsp; 9 months per year. That must be an amazing quality linen! Impressed.&nbsp;</p> <p>The pink sweater also looks amazing on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The coatigen does feel a bit much... I see your point. It might work with more autumnal elements all round -- boots (though I see your point about sneakers and the pants) or maybe a less dark top?&nbsp; I think the shape of the pants really shines when they show more. Is it possible to shorten the coatigen a bit? Though that might interfere with other outfits you like to create with it.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simple-wide-linen-pants#post-2320015 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 22:27:43 +0000 Sal 2320015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I added these pants a couple of months back. They will be suitable for 9 months of the year here - they are a thick linen.</p> <p>I wanted to wear the black top but needed a topper on an autumn day. To get a twin set this long coatigan was the best option - but it felt a bit much for my needs today. So I swapped in the pink sweater - which is sort of a version of the first look from the blog post. I still love the warm pink of the sweater and the puffed sleeves make it different to my other sweaters.</p> <p>I am enjoying these pants - I will try with boots but I think they will be best with sneakers.</p> <p>I do think the coatigan is overwhelming here - do you agree?</p> <p>Thanks for looking. </p>
