I can't decide if these are super cool or super awful

Am I being swayed by the fact that they're Marni, on deep discount and from a store based in Seattle?

AWFUL. The culotte version of elf shoes. I love Marni, but when it goes bad it really goes allllllll the way bad.

Blech --- I can kind of see the appeal, but the flare at the leg looks odd .

Gulp! I've got to say that I really don't like them. At. All.
They would be a conversation starter, but not in a good way.

I don't like them either - if they can't make them work in the photo I know I never will.

Yikes. How would you wear them, Anna?

Hey, they would put smiles on everybody's faces... Although the wearer probably doesn't get to see them.

I think if they were black or grey I'd might at least try them on. But I don't really wear brown.

Well I could sort of see them styled differently - if they have a high waist with a white shirt semi tucked or tucked and if they were a little longer on your leg with heels...but they wouldn't be on the top of my list.

They are definitely a different cut of pant! I can see them in black or grey - I don't think the brown helps them out at all........!

Er, I really can't get behind those. Props to Marni for taking a chance, I guess.

I think they'd be better in a different color with heels.

Yeah, no. They look like part of a vegetable costume to me. Sorry.

Sorry, but I don't feel the love. I don't even feel the attraction. As one YLFer already put it: GULP!

They're super interesting. I'm both intrigued and repelled.

There's a reason why these have such a big discount: nobody wants them!

They are frumpy, and the shoes and color don't help. Never thought a model could look THAT bad in anything

They look like something the Kiebler elves would wear.

Props to you, Anna, for always pushing the fashion envelope and even considering these.

The nose knows; the eye sees. This style is for some other life form.

These crack me up and made me chuckle. They remind me of some sleeves I had. In middle school. In lavender. Indeed, they remind me of the Keebler elves.

I love the responses on this thread :). I have to agree with the majority about these particular pants. They are just off. I'm not so sure about Marni lately.....
