If you have the travel outfit, the travel will come! I have a pair of grey travel pants very much like your black ones. They are my flying pants, and I love that I can depend on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2183152 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 18:04:15 +0000 LaPed 2183152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are perfect black pants! Black ankle pants are one of those things I always thought I needed but then don't actually reach for because I don't like dealing with lint. So, false-sense-of-security blanket for me perhaps? I think my actual security blanket is having black footwear and olive bottoms for every season. Makes me feel more grounded.&nbsp;</p> <p>Planning fantasy travel capsules is one of my pandemic hobbies too. ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2183138 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 16:34:32 +0000 Janet 2183138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black pants and well-fitting jeans are totally my security blankets. I find pants fit and flattery difficult enough that when I suspect a favorite pair is starting to give up the ghost, I get a little panicky and even might overcompensate by buying two new pairs of something that fits the bill.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2183133 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 15:56:53 +0000 kkards 2183133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah for finding your must have piece. And here’s to hoping you get to wear them as travel piece soon.<br /> For me it’s the basic everyday Jean. The one that works for at home doing nothing, for running errands, for work or for dinner out. It’s the one that’s not totally fashion forward but it’s not got current elements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2183117 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 14:23:45 +0000 Anonymous 2183117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like you do about a pair of black pants especially for travel. I love your outfit. The on.y reservation I have is that it is a piece seen too often on old ladies when they dress up. At the symphony (when we could go) every other woman had on black pants with some sort of dressy top. A pair of black pants can be a big support for a smaller wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2183082 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 09:34:42 +0000 Bijou 2183082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are brilliant on you. For me, I like to have a basic black one button blazer style coat, something that can be worn over most things (such as ball gowns or jeans) when it is cold. I bought one from Zara and love it’s simplicity. I have other coats that are more of a statement, but like knowing that I have this in my wardrobe when nothing else seems to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2183079 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 08:39:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 2183079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any ponte pants are my security blanket. I think I have been wearing pants like that for around 10 years. They can be plain or patterned, but the same sort of fabric and shape as yours.<br /> Ever since ponte pants ( sometimes spelt ponti?) became a thing, which is years ago now.<br /> These look great on you. And I absolutely wore them for travel on planes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2183070 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 05:09:59 +0000 Jaime 2183070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Similarly, I have a drapey black skirt that is my go to for holiday meals when I am just not feeling anything else, or I am cold and refuse to not wear a sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182946 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 18:31:43 +0000 Isabel 2182946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla , they look amazing !&nbsp; At this point I'd say that if they make you happy and are of realistic use...keep them ! It's not as if you bought a ball gown in hopes of attending a royal ball in a carriage .&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes. I keep a couple of "security" pieces. Nice black pants are one of them.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I too have been dreaming of travel...which is ironic since I don't particularly enjoy travelling. But at this point, I'd take a trip to Rhode Island ( I live in Mass.&nbsp; )&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182935 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 17:39:31 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2182935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those pants!&nbsp; &nbsp;They're perfect :)</p> <p>My security blanket is a black Norma Kamali skirt that I've had, oh, at least 8 years now.&nbsp; &nbsp;I don't wear it often anymore, trying to keep it alive, but it reassures me to know that, at any time, I could reach for it, and have a great outfit.</p> <p>I have a replacement bookmarked on a resale site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182932 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 17:29:33 +0000 rachylou 2182932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some things ya gotta have(!)

A polished black top, pants, shoes and bag makes me feel like I can handle a funeral, a party or a business meeting (obviously with different pairings!) without having to shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182703 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 21:53:18 +0000 Carla 2182703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie - the fabric is called Ponte di Roma, and is a firm, stable knit that doesn’t cling. &nbsp;Not as stretchy as leggings, and not as stretchy as some jeans I’ve owned, but pull on - so <i>some&nbsp;</i>stretch. &nbsp;Are you familiar with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182699 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 21:43:00 +0000 Angie 2182699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute new pants!

I deeply hope I will wear it out this year and need another! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182670 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 20:12:09 +0000 nuancedream 2182670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For someone who doesn't wear a lot of black, my Vince Camuto black wide leg pants are my "security blanket" item. The pants have been a workhorse since I purchased them in 2007, although I don't wear them as much as I used to when I was working in an office. I am loathe to let them go because they still look good and fit perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182666 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 20:06:45 +0000 Irina 2182666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it would probably be my wool black coat from COS. It took me a few years to replaced a worn out similar coat from Zara. I feel better knowing that I can throw this thing over basically anything and look decent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182665 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 20:06:43 +0000 Cardiff girl 2182665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that I might just have fallen in love with Oswald,<br />Anyway back to the question in hand,l think it would probably be a pair of comfy jeans,not e xciting l know but one pair of my jeans already has 136 wears and they aren’t very old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182662 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 19:57:03 +0000 Kate 2182662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. I'm so glad you asked.</p> <p>Oswald.</p> <p>As long as Oswald is in my closet, I am safe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oswald is a pair of structured, black, side zip, high-waisted cigarette pants from Aritzia (they named him), and I love them/him passionately. Oswald is simply beautiful and insanely flattering, and he has been the basis of oh-so-many outfits over the years. I would be devastated if he degenerated or died.</p> <p>I have searched ebay off and on for years, hoping someone who has an Oswald in my size will release him to my loving attention.</p> <p>I think I am going to have to have my tailor replicate him—in every detail—just so I know there is a back-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182637 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 18:55:51 +0000 Anonymous 2182637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are nice looking pants , and a great outfit for any occasion! I’d panic without at least one pair of Lululemon tights . I even keep a pair in my work backpack as backup for any kind of away-from-home emergency - food/coffee spillage , accidental rips or tears ( not that that’s ever happened but YOU NEVER KNOW - lol) . They go with anything and styled properly can look polished and put together in many situations . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182636 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 18:50:55 +0000 Bonnie 2182636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your black pants look versatile and comfortable and perfect for travel or any day. I really like the way you styled them here. If I had to pick one security blanket item, it would be this black dress. I can go almost anywhere in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwcomfort-zone-security-blanket-or-something-else#post-2182631 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 18:16:24 +0000 Carla 2182631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feeling panicky about not owning a pair of basic black pants (after retiring a pair of Lululemon OTF 7/8 pants), I picked up some stretchy slim leg trousers. &nbsp;They are not as elastic as yoga pants, but are pretty darn close. &nbsp;They would be excellent ‘travel pants’ - and just the thought of that, and having them in my closet - makes me happy. &nbsp;I think of them as a ‘security blanket’, but I’ve been optimistically dreaming up travel capsules since I got them. That’s a heavy load for a simple pair of black trousers!</p> <p> <div>Decided to dress in an ideal ‘travel’ outfit today - though I’m not going anywhere. </p> <p>Do you have a ‘security blanket’ in your closet? &nbsp;Something that you may or may not wear a great deal, but brings you peace knowing you have it?</p> </div></p>
