Drooling over some for sure! Questioning length on others, though. Or is PPL for ankle length shifting now? Are those AW wide-leg crops okay now? My eyes are trained by Angie...

I think seeing them all together helped me identify what I do and do not like about this style. If I am going to adopt it, I will need to look for a pair in a crisper fabric with a real waistband that doesn't aren't gathered at the ankle. The ones that resemble sweat pants just don't seem right for me.

It's instructive for me to see them all together...it helps me hone in on what features I like, and which ones I don't. Thanks, Shannon.

I love so many of the styles - AND WISH THEY WERE LONGER.

And I wish many of them were shorter Angie - lol!

Una asks a good question - what is the PPL for these types of trousers? Obviously if they have gathers at the ankle, the length is predetermined. But for the ones with a regular hem - what's the best length?

These are confusing me - what's PPL for this style? I've developed a mild poison eye for wide-leg crops because of YLF, but now here they are!

Oh, NOES! They have origami cat print pants! That would be full length on me!

Is there any way to justify $300 cat pants on a retail income...?

Nice pants - I like the Tibi orange ones, and the Club Monaco striped, although the Club Monaco's make me think of an umpire for some strange reason...

Interesting. I was wondering about PPL as well. It seems these are shorter, coming in more at the ankle instead of full length. I am also curious about PPL as we move to sandal season. I need to look that up in another two months or so . . .

Just because this length is in shops does not make it right ; )

I'm sticking to the old rules about PPL... tapered and, hopefully, enough length to slouch over the ankle looks right to me.

Most of these would look so much better longer, at least to my eye.

I hear you, Angie! The lengths drive me absolutely batty! Why does EVERYTHING need to be cropped now?

I am not ruling out a looser trouser silhouette, especially for the warmer months, and so I've been keeping an eye out for some that I like (no pleats, and a non-cropped length). I even ordered these:

and am considering posting them here for feedback. They are wonderfully lightweight, but probably not as loose as most of you here would like. I can't size up though, because I got the largest size currently available.

I also have ordered these Vince pants to see if they might work for me:

OK, I am going to have to get your guys' opinion on my slouches, they are not pooling around my ankles in general, but I still like the look!
I like your title Shannon, all I could think was
"ShopBob SlouchPants"
I guess you can tell I have kids!

I've browsed through this section many times on SB (my favourite site). There are some fab pants on there. Some are cropped, but certainly not everything. I think the models are usually 5'10 there, with fairly long legs too.

I am just going to have some made...in silk and in the colors I love. I did a sample slack last year for about 100 USD from a girl who makes Bunads for a living. That price might go up with real silk but I think it will be worth it to get the length and fit I am after!

Oh she's being a devil again! Lol, Shannon, you keep tempting me!

I love quite a few of them too, but Agree with Angie, some are too short!

Almost all of these are cropped, except some of the VC's, and they're in prints! Where are full-length full/tapered trousers in really great fabrics? I wish there were some more menswear suiting fabrics and patterns and details. Maybe in the fall, or will it have fizzled out by then?

Jayne - love the idea of having a pair made...hmmmm...maybe I should go talk to Wonder Woman and she is she's up to the task?

unfrumped - I don't see this trend fizzling by fall, but I could be wrong.

Nicole & Raisin - too funny!

Maybe this is one style where being short works in my favour?
