K/R More Orange - Edited to add WIW

How much orange does a person need? Well I'll ask Ana how much Mint?
I saw a super cute girl in orange skinnies this weekend and instantly wanted some. I am not a super cute girl but thought I might find something similar to scratch my itch. Imagine my surprise today when I returned my BR pants and popped into H&M. I found 2 pair of orange pants. I'm kind of attached to both (they are not expensive and not the same at all) Warning not really styled here at all
1. Slouchy khakis (need to have pockets sewn shut, but length is fine and can be rolled or not) Oh and bonus new Kickers booties that must be stretched (hopefully they can be cause I love them otherwise)
2. Skinny jeans - not as thigh heavy in person ( I don't think at least)
Will post better styled options, just hoping for someone to tell me I'm loopy and to return them or enjoy the plethora of orange while I can and keep.

Added WIW today (guess I'm keeping slouchy pants) I will be sewing the pockets shut. Added orange tank under too sheer Paix tee, Esprit belt, Gap Denim shirt (Angie pick last year), old orange/yellow colorblock flats cause we're going to be running around. Rolled the pants, but they can also be worn unrolled and full length. My assistant liked them but did not like my belt choice - I overruled her - she wanted blue.

First, orange is definitely your color - love it on you!

Second, I think the first pair are definitely keepers - they do amazing things for your legs! Not as sure about the second pair - maybe it's the camera angle or maybe a longer top (looks like you're holding it up). Btw, I really like that slouchy top with the pants - good contrast!

Enjoy your orange because you look great in it. I love the skinnies. I think they would be easier to wear that the other pants and they look great on you. I'm not sure about the first pair---I don't really *get* how those are suppose to fit.

Love the second pair, a little unsure about the first. Does the crotch area lie well with your hands out of your pockets? (You could check Nakidra's earlier thread on slouchy pants for comparison; I think you *may* need to size up, but what happens to the waist? Hope Angie or someone more experiences with slouchies can chime in.)

As for too much orange, these are your only orange pants, yes? One dressy-ish or smart casual, and another casual --- I don't think it's a bad idea to stock up on a trendy colour that's not universally popular or a classic that's always around, but IS hugely flattering on you!

Love the skinnies! Please keep. Unsure about #1 and I would love for Angie to chime in here as I am just not how these are meant to fit. Having said that, I do like them.

OHhhh such a nice tomato red color. I love it with the stripes and those cool boots.

This is the look I'm going for (I don't think it's officially Angie sanctioned, but I really want some fun casual pants). Just having trouble with the right size. If I sized up on these (and I know my store doesn't have them) they'd be huge all over.

First of all, I love those booties! Second, orange is great on you. Go for it!

I think I like them both, but I'd like to see the first pair without your hands at the pocket and unrolled, just out of curiosity to get a better idea of the fit. I think the skinnies look great too.

Y'all are making me want something orange, even though it's not a great color on me.

I think they both look really good. I have a pair of straight fit orangy red jeans from last year and wore them more than most of my clothes. They worked with so much.

I think the two pants are sufficiently different to be worth having both. Great finds and the color is great.

I really liked the orange pants with a white with navy striped jacket.
