Deciding if I should keep Caslon cropped linen joggers

Anonymous

I was inspired to give these linen joggers a try after seeing them in Angie's blog post last week about casual pants. They arrived today and I've tried them on and they *feel* great--not too loose or too snug. Yet, I'm having a little trouble adjusting to how unstructured they look, even though that's what I want. I'd love to get some feedback on these--are they just slouchy enough? Too slouchy? I appreciate your comments/thoughts.

They look stunning to me. They also look really casual, like "I just threw this on before going out the door". I think for me, I prefer not to have that appearance- I don't carry it off well. You are much younger and much prettier and you do look awesome in these. So I think it will be a decision made on emotion, how you feel about it.

PERFECT. Did you get the petite?

Thanks so much, Jenni and Angie! I did get these in the petite. Many of the reviews of the pants claimed they were too long for petites even in the petite length, but I was pleasantly surprised by the length seeming just right.

They are AMAZING on you, Sarah. I liked the way you styled them too. Enjoy.

Have you got an iPhone? You know that you can lighten your pics with an iPhone but processing them with the exposure edit.

I like them and think they look great. I agree it is hard to get used to the slouchy feel but I think you will end up loving them. I had a similar pair last summer in navy and really enjoyed them in the hot summer weather. Fun casual! I vote keep.

Thank you again, Angie. And thank you, Glory!

I have an Android, so the settings probably aren't quite the same as they'd be on an iPhone. Still experimenting with where to set up shop to take my photos (with today's location being my kitchen!) and how to deal with lighting issues.

From what I can see, they look good. How is the back view?

Thanks, Joy. The back view is fine--the pants are neither too tight nor too baggy.

I like them. JSE - just slouchy enough. Great for warmer weather.

Love these on you. No small feat to find the right linen pants and they can be such a great warm weather option.

They look like the perfect pull on pant to me! Most pants like this are very baggy, and these don't look that way at all. Now I want a pair for myself!

I like them!
What do you think about the wrinkle factor after wearing them a bit?

Anonymous

Thank you Brooklyn, Isabel, shevia, Dianna, zoiechic, Style Fan, Inge, Eliza, Karie, and unfrumped! Unfrumped, that's a good question. The wrinkle factor doesn't bother me, as I tend to be a little RATE, especially with my more casual clothing. The pants were a little wrinkled after wearing them a while, but not terribly so.

Since my initial post yesterday afternoon, my eye has adjusted to the slouchiness of the pants, so I'm keeping them. I truly appreciate everyone's feedback.
