I realized earlier this year that other than jeans, I don't like pants very much. I seem to have a hard time finding ones that fit well, and I ended up donating or consigning all of my non-jeans pants in the last few months. Other than jeans, the only pair I have now is a pair of black sailor-styled pants from White House Black Market - they're wide leg and high waist and I love them. The fabric is more dressy, though, which makes them great for work but not for anything more casual.

I was looking at these 1940s-style trousers, which have a similar silhouette, and wondering if a pair, maybe in black denim or navy, would be a good casual option. Could I pull off something this high-waisted? I have several PB blouses I'd wear them with, or even just solid knit tops with an interesting neckline, or tucked-in Sweet Pea tops.
