Pants Inventory - YouLookFab Forum

I took inventory last night...

I decided to get rid of my jogger pants & 2 pairs of denim capri pants. I’m just tired of them.

I purchased 2 pairs of wide-legged & 1 pair of bootcut jeans plus 1 pair of bootcut pants, & won’t be wearing cropped jeans. If it’s cool enough to wear cropped jeans, I can wear my full-length jeans instead. I’m passing over all ankle-length & cropped jeans or pants. I still have 4 pairs of skinny jeans & 1 pair of straight-legged jeans.

As for dress pants, I have 2 nice pairs of straight-legged pants & several pairs of wide-legged pants.

I have a few pairs of gauchos that I love. They look like skirts, aren’t too wide in the leg, & are super comfortable. They keep me cool in the summer heat.

And 6 pairs of shorts.

Nice pants!

Are you sure you want to pass on the cropped jeans/pants? I have a client in Mexico City who wears them all the time.

Are you still wearing the 4 pairs of skinnies?

By gauchos - do you mean knitted palazzos or culottes?

Where do you live that temps cool enough for cropped or full-length pants are so rare? Your profile names a country that has a lot of climates.

@Fashintern: We’re moving to Puerto Aventuras, Mexico (an hour’s Drive south of Cancún) next year. It’s breezy on the beach where our condo is, & the nights can be cool enough at times for jeans & a jacket. I also need a few warm clothes (not many) for when we travel to the U.S. in the Winter. It is also hot for 6 months out of the year, so I need mostly Summer clothing.

@Angie, I changed my mind & decided to keep my pair of NYDJ faded denim slim-leg pants (shorts?) that come to just below my knee. I might need them if my husband buys a boat or we go on excursions. Below are pics of my gauchos & NYDJ pants. My prayer is that you won’t say they’re not a good choice for petites. Wearing skirts is not an option due to the ocean breezes. Thanks!

I think the gauchos are a great skirt alternative. Sounds like you've got a solid collection of pants!

@Helena: Thanks!

Our projected move was to be in September 2022, but now my husband says he worked it out with his boss to officially retire in December 2021 & then work remotely for a while, so that we can move in May 2022. I’m so happy!!! I’m already retired, so we can move as soon as my husband chooses.

I love your gauchos and clamdiggers! Great for hot weather! Milk what works

Great pants! I wouldn't give up on skirts though! Tube, pencil, midis and maxis are wind safe- wraps and shorter flared skirts no.

@Angie: Thanks!

@Suntiger: My figure doesn’t lend itself to tube skirts. I did buy one denim jeans skirt that’s a pencil skirt style & midi length. I have a few maxi & midi length dresses, though. I like the maxis the best.
