I read this post earlier today, and couldn't decide how I felt about these pants. My gut was......patterned pants, yes, these particular pants? Maybe. Hardly a insightful, well-reasoned comment.

Fortunately, Adelfa put words to my thinking, so I second her.

You know, when I love something, but think I might be crazy, I sing this wonderful Sondheim song:

Because my whole life is one big song cue.

I really don't think these are working. That crease - or is it a seam? - down the front of each leg just sends these right into frumpville for me. Also - the fabric looks stiff. I'm not a fan!

In principle I like this idea for you, but after reading this thread I can't vote yay for this particular pair!

I love them, but I'm biased because I wore a very similar pair of pants today Mine have blues and greens and are pretty narrow. I like them with a little skin showing between the pants and the shoes - either with flats where my foot shows, or I cuff them a bit.

I feel like the cut of these just isn't as dramatic as the pattern. Maybe tailored shorter or tapered?
