Follow me to Banana Republic...

and meet Logan (dress pants, 1 and 2), Ryan (straight leg denim not sure if they are supposed to be ankle length or full length, 3 and 4) and Sloan (these would need to be altered in the waist, 5 and 6).

Anything worth buying?

All the pics are overexposed (which makes every wrinkle all the more dramatic) but otherwise all the pics would be too dark.

Sorry for being such a forum hog today! This is my last store!

Yes, back to school shopping (well that's what I'm calling it anyway, ha!).

Angie, I did buy the Teddies, (the blazer too!) and the dramatic super fun flares!

I like the Ryan fit-- a basic piece.

They all fit nice, but none of them is as good as the Teddies and dramatic flares which you already got.

Logan&Ryan seem to fit you well. Are they worth buying? Honestly at this point I have no idea what you're looking for : dress pants, jeans, wide, straight, flared ??? You've lost me

Sorry, sky! Actually I am looking for well-fitting pants - dress pants, jeans, any/all of that.

I would like a basic pair of black or navy blue dress pants for work. You know, the kind you can just throw on at the last minute without having to think about how to style them. And since what I just typed doesn't describe how I am at all (I like to plan my outfits and wear things that are more trendy than basic), I am also looking for a few more fashionable pairs of dressy pants.

I am also looking for some interesting jeans, and I don't care if they are flared or straight, just not skinnies - I have several pairs of those that I've been wearing for the last year and a half, and I'm kind of tired of that look on me.

And thanks for your input everyone! I did not get any of these. I like the fit of the Ryan's best, but I want to look them up on line and see if they are supposed to be ankle length or not. The Logan's were a bit baggy in the thighs and the Sloan's gaped too much at the waistband in the back, causing what I call "butt smiling" - the side seams look like they go up while the back seam goes down. Not pretty!

Angie has spoken! I just want to say it's fun to bring YLF along on a shopping excursion this way.

Each pair has good and bad points to my eye. Lately BR doesn't have much in dress pants for work unless you buy wool or wool blend. I'm not too happy with BR these days. The skinny jeans I bought last year are falling apart and don't look good now. I wear them when I know the cat wants to sit on my lap. If you have a better fitting brand available, I'd say go to that one.

Yes, MsMaven, I haven't had great luck at BR in a while. I did come home and order the Ryan's in the long size. I do like the fabric of those - it's a dressy denim that looks more like dress pants than denim pants.
