They need to fit a bit slimmer. Not tight like skinnies (ideally) but skimming the leg.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre/page/2#post-953108 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 10:11:59 +0000 Anonymous 953108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look tighter on K and Rae, which I think makes the difference. They need to skim your leg. They look baggier and slouched here, which would look better with a longer leg I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-953047 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 05:46:56 +0000 rae 953047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these!

They are my only work pants. I believe I have them in the regular length, regular sizing, and they just cover my ankle bone (I am 5'5" with short legs). </p> <p>For summer I'm wearing them with my AGL ballet flats and also some Talbots gunmetal sequin&nbsp;pointy toe flats (yes, really). Oh, I also wear them with some 1.5" heel black and cream spectator slingback flats (Angie pick a year or two ago).&nbsp;</p> <p>One outfit with the navy pants got me a K rating&nbsp;from Angie.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-meeting">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-a-meeting</a></p> <p>Mochi, I love how the Italians showcase their shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-953038 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 04:43:41 +0000 Deborah 953038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them and the length.&nbsp; But I do think you may need to size down as per K's comment.&nbsp; The leg does not look slim enought on you Una.&nbsp; If you can get the fit right, I think these will be amazing for business.&nbsp;The right footwear is key too I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-953036 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 04:31:56 +0000 Diana 953036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look too short to me, but I like my pants to be <i>really long.</i></p> <p><i></i>ETA: But I have no idea what is business appropriate.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-953035 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 04:20:42 +0000 marit 953035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, if they're meant to be the trendy ankle-length the hem should end higher than it is here on you and they should fit more closely. It's kind of hard to tell in that first photo but they look like they're tapering at a different slope to your leg than expected for this cut with the knees too low, making me think they are too long? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-953031 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 04:04:19 +0000 K. Period. 953031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Suz nailed it exactly! I didn't even notice that, but that is exactly what is bothering me. The strap. I always wear mine with pumps with a deep vamp to increase the length of my leg. &nbsp;I'm okay with them with pointy flats, but they aren't as figure flattering. They aren't bad. Just not great.&nbsp;A pump is what makes them work so well. &nbsp;I think it even increases the formality of them. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-953004 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 02:48:20 +0000 Suz 953004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with K and Zap. It's the fit of these (or maybe the cut, if they are fitting in the waist) possibly combined with the colour, and also, you can't wear them with Mary Janes, IMO, because the strap creates and interfering line and messes things up.&nbsp;</p> <p>It has to be a fairly tapered cigarette style fit to work at this length, IMO. If it's slouchy it will look a lot better at full length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952994 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 02:33:42 +0000 Karie 952994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a link to an article on pant length (ankle pants are near the bottom):</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.stylebykaren.com/jeans-capris-its-all-in-the-length-4152">http://www.stylebykaren.com/je.....ength-4152</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952977 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 02:06:14 +0000 Anonymous 952977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure because I actually violate PPL with mine. That tapered leg, ankle pant is really on trend here. I do wear much higher heels or shoes with ankle straps with them. I hope Rae chimes in.<br /> ETA: And I'm agreeing with K. That type of pant is completely business appropiate, mine are a bit more snug, just like K's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952975 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 02:03:28 +0000 K. Period. 952975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooo, I have to weigh in. 'Cause I have to. &nbsp;Actually, I own these exact same pants and I wear them all the time in my law office and think they are very appropriate for our work, Una. I'm wearing them in black <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sas-made-me-do-it">here </a>(with a killer rating nonetheless and nice compliment from you)&nbsp;and in black and&nbsp;blue (#1 and #2)&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-work-and-wiw-that-didnt-work">here</a>. I wonder if what folks are responding to is the color.&nbsp;Red is a very bold color choice, much bolder than blue. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>With that said,&nbsp;I don't think they are photographing very well for whatever reason, and I think I know the reason. &nbsp;Are these too big on you? They are meant to fit as cigarette style trousers, close but not skin tight. Skimming, not grabbing. These look like they have way too much fabric on you. &nbsp;If they fit closer, then they would be proper pants length.&nbsp;I think you need to size down. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952962 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:43:41 +0000 Jaime 952962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color but the length looks wrong - what Lantana said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952953 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:29:54 +0000 annagybe 952953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, that length is not going to work for business formal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952950 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:28:08 +0000 catgirl 952950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if they were shorter they would probably be too casual for business formal, right?&nbsp; So they need to be longer?&nbsp; Argh, I HATE pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952948 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:26:11 +0000 Raisin 952948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are probably too long for how they are intended to fit.

Now there's a helpful comment for you!<br /> They are cut full in the calf making me think they're meant to be slouchy, in which case they are too short.<br /> But that leaves me puzzling over the notch at the ankle.<br /> Apart from the length puzzlement, the fit and colour of these pants are great. Do you have cage sandals to wear with them as an alternative to the black heels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952935 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:18:07 +0000 catgirl 952935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies!&nbsp; </p> <p>How much longer can/should they be?&nbsp; Any longer and they will not fall properly in this material (which is kind of stiff), because of the narrow hem they hit my foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952931 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:15:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 952931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit of these on you Una and these would make great work trousers...BUT I'm going to leave the length discussion to those more knowledgeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zap-recommended-br-sloan-skinnies-kre#post-952930 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:15:00 +0000 annagybe 952930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look too short.

For regular length pants, I think the length looks good. If they are supposed to be ankle pants, then they might be too long. I just read somewhere that ankle length should be a few inches above your ankle.&nbsp;</p> <p>Whatever length they're supposed to be, I think they look fine the way they are! </p>
