The Pontes K/R - YouLookFab Forum

My Kut from the Kloth Jennifer's came in. I ordered the size the chart told me to get based on my measurements and also a pair up a size.

They are much "skinnier" than I expected, but they are very comfy. The larger size won't work. I was hoping they would give me a roomier, perhaps slightly slouchy look but they just looked like they'd bagged out or something.

Tell me what you think and be honest! I wouldn't wear them with just a tank top tucked in. I did that for the picture. On the other hand, I won't keep a pair of pants that I can only wear with a tunic or cardi that covers my bum. If these can't work with regular shirts, then they have to go back. I like the length. It allows for some scrunch at the bottom. I never get that!

I am sort of mortified at my rear view. I like to lie to myself about what I look like I guess. I definitely need to do some butt lift exercises or something and lose that stupid 10 pounds that crept up and then stuck. Yikes! But overall, do they seem ok or should I keep looking?

ps I had to blur out my face. I look like hell today!

First, about the rear view: adorable. Really this is a perspective thing. You don't look tiny, but you look fit and you look good.

I don't think you have to cover it up. If you don't tuck, maybe a belt to highlight your small waist? If these are comfy and you are looking for slim pants, I think these look like the fit is good.

Not bad. The jeans look with pockets, fly and belt loops declares the intention to be a pant. While they're form-fitting, there is a smidge of leeway in the calf, which helps to say pant rather than body stocking. If you are comfortable in these, and I think most people who feel good in the poured-on skinny (vs the slim straight) would wear this well as a pant-like ponte.

I know I sound less than enthusiastic. Not a poured-on fan for anyone but agree they're attractive for people who feel great in them and wear them well with that attitude of cool about it. Just a choice thing. Which is where I put these pontes. Even I wouldn't give a poison eye to them or think you really should cover your nethers. Honestly I wouldn't notice them, just another pair of skinnies. That's not an insult!

That's a long way of saying I think they work, keep them if you can feel yourself happy in them this winter. I would think they would be fun with boots and sweaters or upscaled sweatshirts v

Jenny, I know how you feel about rear views. I just posted one myself. Remember, the camera is 2D, not 3D, and we've been indoctrinated to stare at whatever we consider our "problem bits." You look perfectly proportioned to me!

I like the pants. I think they sit in a good spot on the waist and fit as they should. I don't think you'll have to cover the rear view in these, and you'll love being able to get on the floor with kids crosslegged! Ponte pants are great for tucking into boots in winter, and I often wear my for long car trips.

I think they look good. And I also think they will be practical for your life. So if they feel good, keep.

I voted yay. My thumbs are up. And there is plenty of length. That's the BEST news in this crop crazy world we live in at the moment. You look fab in that shade of cobalt, Jenny.

I like them on you! Much less calf-sucking than they were on me. You have lovely long legs!

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I get to keep them! I had my older son take the pics and told him that I had to get y'all's approval to be able to wear them LOL

One piece of my Fall capsule down, 14 more pieces to go! :-p
