I love the light color blue.

I still like them: They look believable on you, they are fluid, The color is different, you have the frame for them, and I don't see the widening issue as a biggie, your frame can take the exageration, but, BUT, if you are still having doubts, I'd say return. I always err on the side of return.

I really don't think that generally speaking, pleated pants work with a full tuck in, you know, unless you are a accentuated IT.

Tina, the slouchy pocket pants are the ones I have pinned too. Hey can you show us them in action sometime? Or if you already did and I missed it just direct me to your post.

checker ones and white on white are my fab the other ones not so much...no woman want to look wide ...but i think if u know how to balance it like the other i like ....will be amazing ...(sorry) if i sound harsh but umm the internet sometimes have a different imaginary tone...im telling u sincerely

First impression: width. Then they grew on me. Then I wanted to ask the pants out for dinner. They look brilliant with a jacket. Very edgy for SK, or just about anywhere, really. I don't think they would have the same impact on a darker colour. Keep and enjoy!

I first saw these, and yes, I think they make your hips look wider.

I love the color. I love the drape. I am a pear shape and am biased against looking wider on the bottom.

If you don't feel fab in them, I would return them.

They look fab with the short untucked tops! I am waffling.

I like the last two looks you posted a lot more! I think they're too high waisted for the full tuck.

My gut feeling though is that these will be HARD to style and could very easily become orphans... I think a lower rise would make them a lot easier to work with.

These are absolutely something that I would never buy for myself, but I have to say I really like them on you, especially with the untucked tops and the blazers. They are a great colour and I love the architectural elements of them. How much wear would you get out of them? Are they something you could wear to work, or would they be part of your dressier capsule? And most importantly, how do you feel wearing them?

This is tricky. My first thought is that they are good but they are not as good as your amazing toppers - and shouldn't you hold out for that standard? I do love #6 though. This is a tough one - I guess you should picture a situation when you would wear them and think whether you would grab these or something else.

Missvee took the words right out of my mouth (or fingers). If they look fabulous in motion, as you say, keep. When you wear them IRL you'll be moving, not posing.

I like 'em. But also I'm Queen Whackadoodle.

LOVE these on you! They are so interestingly detailed - the color is great - and your body can easily pull off this style. I hope you keep them and enjoy!

I love #6. Generally I like them with darker colours, not sure they are working with white or blush. In the end I don't think they are versatile enough for you. Correct me if I'm wrong but my impression is that your pieces are well-chosen, fashion forward & amazing quality but tend to be a bit understated - it's all in the subtle details. Annagybe for example works with a lot of really unique pieces that stand out but I'm not sure that is your vibe. You would know better than me of course - not trying to steer just observe.

I love #6, too. It's not just the shape of the clothes, it's the pattern in that jacket. This is a winner.

I'm in agreement that the looks I like best out of the bunch you have posted are the ones where you top it off with a blazer. I'm not a fan of any of the tucked in looks, or the bi-level hem.

I'd like to see them with a structured, woven shirt. Untucked. I have a feeling that will work, too.

I'm really liking how 6 and 7 are styled now. And this blue is so pretty, great for,spring, and I don't know that this blue would look good on many people, but it's great on you!

Can't believe I'm going to tell you this... I'm keeping them! All your insights really contributed to my decision. Also, my most fashionable friend came over for a visit last night, and gave me an honest assessment. She thought they were super elegant, and more flattering than they should be in reality. She never hesitates to tell me "no" when I need to hear it, and I do the same for her.

Are they practical, no. Will I wear them often, no. But truth be told these types are probably pieces I require more in my wardrobe. Statement pieces that make me feel unique. Because I have all the bases covered already (more than once, lol). It would certainly be more practical to buy something I would wear everyday. But how many pairs of jeans does a girl really need?

Thank you again, for your collective wisdom!!!

Well, I am very happy these will be yours for keeps and worn when required. I wish I had them at my disposal and that they'd look as good on me.

I am happy for you! I think they look better IRL than in pictures, because your friend gave them a YAY vote. Similarly, there are things that look great in pictures, but when you get closer, they just aren't that fab. I have not kept things that the forum has LOVED on me for this reason.

You made the right decision, I think. I can imagine you pulling these out of the closet years from now, and being glad that you kept them.

I'm very happy to hear that someone was able to give you an IRL opinion, pics can only tell so much!
Enjoy them. They are an extraordinary pair of pants. Dang it, you might have even converted me. missus tailored everything!

Good to hear you're keeping them! I had a hunch that IRL and motion made quite a difference. That's when the fabrics and drape come into play.

Lucky you to have such a friend to count on. I love my girlfriends, but seeking style advice from them? probably won't happen!

YAY. I was secretly hoping you would keep. I think they are a special piece and will be loved. There is something truly elegant about them.

YAY!!! So glad you're keeping them

I'm so glad to hear you are keeping them! I didn't get a chance to chime in and say that I love them on you, and can definitely picture their fluidity in motion. Can't wait to see what else you come up with for these lovelies!

Oh, I'm so glad you're keeping them! It's an interesting look that I don't think will work on me, so I'll enjoy it vicariously through you.
