For some reason, this summer I am really digging low contrast tops paired with lighter bottoms. There is something so summery about it, IYKWIM. I would probably pair these with a light-colored top that came to my hips, so shorter but not full-on cropped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206414 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:24:59 +0000 Angie 2206414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! Looking hip, trendy AND classic :)</p> <p>I like both ways, but slightly prefer the version without the cardi. How about a denim jacket?</p> <p>I’m with those suggesting a low contrast top. Try one of your pretty light lace tops too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206399 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 15:15:42 +0000 Jenn 2206399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that photo from kkards a lot. I always like the idea of breezy, wideleg pants like this, but struggle a bit with them on my body. That thin fabric that seems great for summer doesn't have enough structure to fall without clinging.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you maybe have a shorter, boxy top you could wear untucked? Seems counterintuitive, but I think sometimes increasing the volume up top can de-maximize by shifting the proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206396 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 15:11:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2206396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops!

You look terrific in this outfit. I like the airiness of the cardi you chose.<br /></div><div>As to minimizing the maximizing (great phrase--haha!), how about (on a cooler day) wearing an off-white/cream tank and your olive jacket? or denim jacket? I realize this kind of defeats the purpose of breezy pants, but in the Pacific Northwest, it's not totally impractical.</div><div>I like kkards' knotted blouse idea, too. <br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206311 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 03:27:50 +0000 rachylou 2206311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater with them too… enhances the long and loose theme. The belt and tucked top feel too constricted for such easygoing pants to me… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206109 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 12:21:51 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ohh, I like those belt ideas, lyn67! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206108 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 12:20:18 +0000 lyn67 2206108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To"minimize the maximising"&nbsp; you&nbsp; could sew down the pleats from the waist down for a more&nbsp; tailored fit on the hips and use a lower contrast belt and shoes. <br />Then, here I just&nbsp; feel like you have styled them&nbsp; a bit too heavy (do you have cold summers?)-to me,&nbsp; the tee, the cardi, the chunky leather belt, and&nbsp; loafers look too much&nbsp; for&nbsp; the linen pant's more&nbsp; summery vibe (a pinstripe on white)-<br />If you want to keep the cardi on, I say a strechy but heavier cotton camisole with a deeper neckline instead of a short sleeve tee, and some slides or mules instead of the loafers would be a great option.<br />And can I ask why&nbsp; aren't you fond of the tie waist? These pants are supposed to be worn exactly like that:- Just faux tuck and leave the ties hanging on front. If you still want a proper belt you&nbsp;&nbsp;can pleat or even knit/crochette yourself one more lower contrast for the pants, and more flexible&nbsp; say from&nbsp;"chewyspaghetti"-s:-)) leather cords or even ropes with longer&nbsp; fringed ends &amp; leave them hanging&nbsp; out on front.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206095 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 11:28:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kkards on wearing a top that matches the blue stripe instead of the light background, if "minimizing" is your goal. A fabric/webbed belt in the pants' background color could fulfill the "professional-looking" requirement without showing up so starkly. A cream-colored doodad on top, maybe a necklace, could tie into the background color and further emphasize the vertical dimension. I like #1 here best, but obviously you might need to take the cardi off, depending on the weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206090 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 11:10:35 +0000 kkards 2206090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saw this picture today on the blog “that’s not my age”, and thought I’d share, &nbsp;i can see something like this working well for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206087 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:34:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2206087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome pants. You look great! I like the outfit better without the cardigan. I like the belt but agree a lighter belt could work too. Do you have any wrap tops? That could look good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206023 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 01:24:53 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2206023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shevia- I have a lighter belt coming from Target that will probably work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206020 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 01:21:39 +0000 Jaime 2206020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those striped wide leg pants. I sort of want to see a lighter weight belt to go with the breezy look of the outfit. Maybe rope or a rolled up scarf?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206011 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 00:07:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2206011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sloper- myfirst thought was a denim jacket, but it really wasn't cold enough </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2206004 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 23:44:21 +0000 Anonymous 2206004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your eyes will adjust to seeing the width. I suggest one of the shell with small shoulder pads. They may help create balance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2205992 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 22:50:56 +0000 Sloper 2205992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with comments above about trying with a lower-contrast top.<br />And maybe try with a structured jacket (like a denim jacket or a blazer) to offset the flow of the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2205989 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 22:46:36 +0000 slim cat 2205989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can play with some jewelry options- statement earrings, necklace or stronger shoes with platform.<br /> Would vest work with top and wide legged pants?<br /> I like both looks - fun new addition!<br /> Recently I’ve got a jacket - done like denim but in light rayon fabric and size too big - very comfy ( don’t care how unflattering/ flattering it looks on me ). Denim jackets are not allowed at my work but that one goes for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2205978 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 21:57:03 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2205978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm just not used to the look.<br /> kkards- I don't own one, but I do have acream top in my ON shopping cart. Oh wait- I do have acream lace top.<br /> I'm sure that nobelt and a lower contrast top will look better to my eye. I am wearing the pants to work, and the belt made it feel more "professional". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2205977 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 21:51:45 +0000 kkards 2205977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but actually have slight preference for the 2nd one. Have you tried a tee in the color of the Cardigan from 1? Wondering If you’d like less contrast </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2205970 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 20:58:13 +0000 kellygirl 2205970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love them both ways. Maybe a low contrast top will lengthen the overall look? The tie waist would be low contrast too. What didnt you like about it? Seriously though, they look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-leg-pants#post-2205967 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 20:53:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2205967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to try wide leg pants. Not sosure how flattering they are (but they are comfy!)<br /> Pants and top are from Old Navy (in Finds). I added a belt. I'm not too fond of the tie waist.<br /> I like it better with the sweater over it.<br /> Styling suggestions to minimize the maximising? </p>
