I tried on this checked tuxedo pant last week and was shocked that it actually seemed to fit though not specifically marked as curvy. On me it is full-length and would actually need hemming to avoid having a big break with flat shoes like loafers. On-line it is listed as polyester, but in-store fabric tag is poly-rayon.

I brought home my usual size to try out at home ; no pics yet and not sure whether to order a size up in case I'm missing out on a bit more fluid fit vs. wear fitted as shown. And in the size I have they are fairly tapered at the ankle, not tight but definitely slim.

I really like them as a change from straight classic trousers and for ease of wearing ankle-length with several types of flats and with simple black, white or bright tops, but wonder if it is on its way "out"? Not to be so trend-oriented, but practical, as in, will pants be wide soon, or are already much more fluid, and I'd be better off saving up; is the fit pushing my flattery limit for pear shape; that sort of thing.

I had found this right before Angie's capsule post; it is sort of like the checked slim trouser (but not as good a fabrication) and again, the style may be intended for straighter, slimmer figures.

Any thoughts on how one decides whether to carpe diem, or hold off and anticipate future trends?
