I love the pants on you! They look amazing with the black shirt from Una. To my eye, the patter mixed with the shirt make your legs look miles long.

That dress is perfect for you too!

Keep them both, BF looks and all!

Agree the ikats look terrific and not too out there at all.

Great pants. They'll look great with a hot pink top or a deep red blouse.

I LOVE those pants! Both items are fab on you.

The trousers look terrific on you Mo. I think this may be an easier sell with your BF/ SO/ partner/ other half if paired with something really simple like your draped white tee shirt and black sandals.

From what I remember your SO does wear patterned shirts, therefore, I would argue this is just the same principal and he just needs time for his eye to adjust.

The tunic is also lovely on you as well as tights and leggings I couild also see this with your boyfriend shorts peeking underneath.

I really like both a lot. Often my SO has the most negative reactions to things that he ends up liking the best over time.

I like 'em! Long black shirt/tunic and you're set! And the dress is great too.

And Mo and bj, I'll see your double chin faces and raise them! Genetics was not kind to my family in that department. Hubby and I joke about "chin face" in photos all the time.

I haven't read the comments, so don't know if there is a consensus, but I love those pants on you. Great dress too! You scored!

Love the pants with the silky black shirt! Great find!!

Well I signed in to see a slew of positives on the pants this morning, so I'll take that as a big sign to KEEP! hee hee.
And thanks for all the advice to keep the top very simple. I'm not a pattern mixer or anything, so there was no danger of that!
Glad you all like them . . . it can be harder to decide what to keep when you are out of your usual comfort zone.
I do see one nay and would love to hear why, but it's cool, could very well just be poison eye. I'm that way with floral pants myself!
