They look so delightfully tongue-in-cheek 'Western' --- bandana, meet beat-up old pants! </p> <p>I'd probably just want to see a white shirt with pebble-y buttons and a bolo tie on top. Or go mad with *another* paisley print or a madras check. And some studded boots/booties, possibly also in white --- something like Anna's...? Plus a cowhide bag (like Rae's DIY).</p> <p>Alternatively, play with the Americana appeal by adding a faded Holly Hobby-ish patchwork smock in stripes, checks, star prints, more paisley, a few chintzy florals. A more boho silhouette, so maybe sandals below? And a pouchy, slouchy drawstring bag. In an unexpectedly mad-bright colour: emerald green, a la Una? or good ol' trendy Tangerine Tango? Or Suz's yellow?</p> <p>(personally I could carry off the second better than the first, but hey, while we're dreaming...!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-662142 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 01:55:48 +0000 Janet 662142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! I had some similar to #1 in the 80s too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-662098 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:54:37 +0000 nicoleb 662098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>paisley is not my favorite print personally but i still think these are pretty cool -- i do enjoy printed pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-662096 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:53:02 +0000 Jonesy 662096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! I would wear them like regular old solid blue jeans--instant pattern mixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-662092 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:51:57 +0000 Jyoti 662092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of them! I think the print works well with the skinny silhouette and makes them look edgy and current. I can't really decide between the two though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-662037 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:52:30 +0000 Aida 662037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh I don't usually like paisley but I am surprised that I really like both of these! Especially #1, but that's because it's "summer" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661918 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:52:17 +0000 Diana 661918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yay, I'm glad I'm not the only who likes these. </p> <p>Not sure how I would style, honestly...I think they would go with most solid colored tops and tunics, and possibly also stripes. Red might be fun. </p> <p>I think the first pair would also go nicely with a slouchy button-down, maybe semi-tucked. I'd probably stick with longer tunics/dresses for the second pair, since they read as much more legging-ish IRL. (They are super comfy though!) Or... since Una mentioned they look Indian, they might actually be fun under a kurta-inspired top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661903 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:27:49 +0000 Anonymous 661903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both and would enjoy seeing someone with these on. The rest of the outfit would probably have to be kept simple </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661897 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:17:22 +0000 Meredith1953 661897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are both really pretty but I do think that the darker print in #2 would be most versatile and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661895 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:12:17 +0000 Anonymous 661895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, and agree with rae that they don't have the pajama look that soft ones do. If I were to pick a fav, I'd go with the darker print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661884 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:53:25 +0000 rae 661884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're both fun. Better than soft paisley pants, IMO, which can easily look like pajamas (I think Janets are an exception - it helps that she's so tall and leggy). I am curious as to how you would style these. I am having a hard time picturing outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661882 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:49:49 +0000 Kiwichik 661882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big thumbs up for both pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661875 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:42:16 +0000 Chrizzle 661875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The COH's wouldn't flatter me even if they had my size, but I love them! </p> <p>I do prefer the darker print on the Gap pair, but I agree that they look more like leggings than jeans. I would wear them as leggings under a dress, skirt, or tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661874 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:42:11 +0000 catgirl 661874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I owned that first pair in the 80s! I love them both - the second pair looks very Indian to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661871 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:40:14 +0000 Astrid 661871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! They look like they're hand painted, I had a pair of jeans like that a few years ago and loved them. The second pair is dressier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-paisley-print-skinnies#post-661866 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:35:59 +0000 Diana 661866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't decide whether I like these or not. Is the dark paisley print on the light wash jeans weird?
