I stayed away of uni satin pants (or skirts) as am afraid of the clinginess&amp; the creases it would show up in no minute on myself.&nbsp; But I do have 2x printed flowy and a creased texture midi skirt in satin which really don't show creases.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser/page/2#post-2303843 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 07:45:02 +0000 Zaeobi 2303843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks lol they're from ASOS - which can be useful, for noncommittal trendy looks! </p> <p>The only reason I mentioned black is just based on my caveats above - if you're worried about creasing, a darker colour (&amp; print) will likely hide that better. </p> <p>Perhaps an ivory pattern could work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser/page/2#post-2303828 Tue, 24 Jan 2023 02:45:02 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2303828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On what color to choose, I’d say go wild. Go for whatever in your palette is big and attention-getting. That will back up everything else. The style you’re thinking of is “big”, the fabric itself is ohlala, so complete it with a color that’s also crazy fun. Something that’s true to you, of course, but not in a mousy color, because being timid in these would be an oxymoron.<br /> Just my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser/page/2#post-2303700 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 07:29:50 +0000 jussie 2303700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal: great palazzo’s! I’ve seen you wear them beautifully in pics, they’re certainly useful in your wardrobe.<br /> Zaeobi: they look fantastic, and they suit your colour palette beautifully. I can’t see any wrinkled fabric at all. Yes, caveats with satin pants…<br /> I’m not quite sure what colour I would look for…. I saw a beautiful wide leg pair in ivory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser/page/2#post-2303696 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 06:22:19 +0000 Zaeobi 2303696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2 pairs of satin cargo pants that I find indispensable for my now 'dressy casual' needs/ more 'low-key party' lifestyle. </p> <p>As you can see, there is not much but some wrinkling here. But it doesn't bother me too much, because:<br /> A) it's somewhat hidden by the darker colour<br /> B) it's not too extreme due to the fluid upper fit (around my hips/ thighs)<br /> C) this item of clothing fills a more casual-skewing type of party need (not very formal).</p> <p>So I think it *could* work for you too, but with the above 3 caveats (e.g. you could perhaps try a pair of black satin wide legs?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303585 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 09:32:48 +0000 Sal 2303585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have a pair- mine are a shiny viscose. They get a few creases but not a lot. The fact they are flowing helps - I love them and find them versatile for many occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303582 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 05:46:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2303582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Jussi &amp; Suz!<br /> Pattern also helps draw attention away from the creases.

Seems people have had very diverse experience with their satin pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303574 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 03:51:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2303574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do these count?

It doesn’t say the percentages. NZ made too, in 2014. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303558 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 02:47:35 +0000 Jaime 2303558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it really depends on the exact fabric. Jenni looks fab above and I have some shiny items that aren't so thin and delicate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303556 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 02:35:00 +0000 Echo 2303556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of relaxed satin pants, although they were very inexpensive. They do not crease with wear; they don't snag; they don't show anything unflattering (they're not even black); they don't stain or get water spots. I attribute the ease of wear to the fact that they are not snug and they are 97% polyester/3% elastane. I know that many people prefer natural fabrics, but for ease of wear, these can't be beat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303545 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 00:35:38 +0000 rachylou 2303545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once had a pair of satin cargo pants. Serious workhorse. Travelled hard. Could be casual or dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303542 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 00:20:00 +0000 Anonymous 2303542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Static! &nbsp;And static cling. &nbsp;Send them to a dry cleaner unless you enjoy fighting with an iron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303540 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 23:13:26 +0000 jussie 2303540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni: 60 wears! That’s fantastic, especially for something as delicate as satin.<br /> Runcarla: such a pity about the pocket lumps on those pants, they look lovely otherwise.<br /> Ljp: yeah…. I suspect some satins are much better than other satins…. I imagine a decent, hefty fabric would be ok.<br /> Suz: thanks! I do love the visual appearance of them, quite glam and with a bit of personality. If I can just get a handle on the styling and practical aspects….<br /> Nemosmom: your satin pants sounds like an excellent pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303530 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 20:18:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 2303530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might not be possible to find anything like this: but years ago I wanted some dressier trousers for evening events like going out for dinner and found these fantastic ones that are satin on the front and ponte at the back. First time I wore them was for my daughter’s 21st in 2014. Once tracking wears from 2016 I found I had too many dressy clothes and started wearing them to work as well. They now have over 60 wears and are still in great condition, don’t seem to crease, whether it’s because the back of them is ponte? Here is a recent pic but not sure if you can see the texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303527 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 19:41:20 +0000 jussie 2303527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Seems like we are divided on satin trousers here! Thank you all for your ideas, I will make proper responses a bit later when time permits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303515 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 17:30:05 +0000 LJP 2303515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My opinion is that these are one of those things that is better on social media than in reality . Even if you’re rail thin , satin and its variations don’t look good after sitting . And god help you if you drop a molecule of water on them while washing your hands etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303499 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 16:58:53 +0000 Suz 2303499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look fun, <b>nemosmom</b>! I like the idea of the juxtaposition.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jussie,</b> satin trousers could look great on you! And work well for your style as a mix and match -- both for dressy with some of the tops you show (or others) and dressed down a bit with a denim jacket or other contrasting type of top. I would imagine the creasing/ bump showing factor would depend very much on the specific fabric, cut, and possibly also the colour. So you might have to experiment or do some research to find the ones you want.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't have satin, but I've had silk pants of various kinds over the years and I loved them. But they didn't have the satin finish, which does admittedly make a difference.&nbsp; </p> <p><b>Sal</b> has some lovely palazzos which (I think?) have a satin-ish finish (maybe not the highest gloss but some shine?). Hers are patterned. A pattern would hide a lot of creasing.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303488 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 16:37:57 +0000 nemosmom 2303488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up a pair of satin joggers to wear for holiday celebration a few months ago, and have found them very versatile and easy to style with my go-to winter chunky sweaters, hoodies, boots, flats, and outerwear. I suspect they will work in warmer months with my tees and tanks, sandals and sneakers, but time will tell how sweaty they will feel come summer. </p> <p>Now, I wear a pair of tights under them to help with slip and smoothing (and added warmth), but they are loose enough (like in the model photo), that I hope the lumpy bumps won’t be an issue without the tights. </p> <p>I don’t lounge around in them, they are more of a “work”, or out of the house pant for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303487 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 16:31:12 +0000 Carla 2303487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair of dark green Vince silk satin trousers that I got for a song at a post fashion runway sale. &nbsp;They were best for warm weather since they weren’t warm &nbsp;by themselves, and they were dry clean only. &nbsp;Like <b>April&nbsp;</b>wrote, they showed&nbsp;<i>everything! &nbsp;</i>Even a drop of water/rain left a ‘stain’. &nbsp;I was looking at some just recently, but my long ago experience has left a bad impression - so they are a big no - for me. &nbsp; </p> <p>Found YLF photos from Christmas 9 years ago and took a screen shot! &nbsp;You can see the pocket show through in the first pic.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303474 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 16:12:59 +0000 cat2 2303474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some pants with a satin finish, but they are made of silk, not polyester. They drape really nicely, but they do get a bit rumpled. I wear them for winter holiday with tops like you describe and for resort wear with plain tees and sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303463 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 15:07:35 +0000 kkards 2303463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of a satin trouser. &nbsp;Wondering if the wrinkleness is dependent on what the fabric is? A long time ago I had a pink satin suit, &nbsp;and I don’t remember it wrinkling.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303461 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 14:59:46 +0000 The Cat 2303461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many years ago, I had a pair of satin pants. I found them easy to style and fun to wear for various occasions. Perfect for the casual elegant style I love. Would love to have a pair again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303454 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 14:16:10 +0000 Irina 2303454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will depend on the weight of the fabric. My thicker than regular satin shiny pants don’t wrinkled much. Also, note that the cut of such trousers is often loose, it helps not to get creases set too deep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303450 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 14:02:59 +0000 Synne 2303450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree they can look good! But in my experience satin like fabrics snag very easily. Especially thin polyester. That means money out the window for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303447 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 13:51:25 +0000 Helena 2303447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I think that would look amazing!! I think either a head to toe matching set, or else a contrasting texture (something matte) would both work. I think you should try it ... It would suit your style so well! The cardi you pictured would be really cute I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-experiences-with-satin-trouser#post-2303446 Sat, 21 Jan 2023 13:41:16 +0000 jussie 2303446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April: yes, I am worried they may be just…. Very fussy. But they do look so glamorous and so comfortable which appeals to me.<br /> I agree with you that satin shows every lump and bump, hence I avoid it in tops…. But maybe in a loose fit pant it would skim over the body?</p> <p>Helena: those outfits you describe sound like simple, contemporary glamour. They sound effortless! Haha we all know how loaded that word is. I think they would look cool with a tee for a funky daytime look. For me they would be for night time, so I am scratching my head a little about how I would style them. Maybe with a white button down shirt or other dressy white blouse? </p>
