Anyone hop on the baggy pants train?

I just got a pair of wider pants with a small pleat in front. DH said they were a hard no. I'm still debating.

I lost a lot of weight recently and am honestly not liking pants that make me look bigger!

I’m short so I have to be really careful with volume and length of the pants + the shoe combo, but I’m onboard with the trend. Skinny or narrow pants weren’t working with my middle-aged perimenopause chest even though I have good legs, so the volume of wider pants has been great to adjust the visual proportions of my outfits.

Shoes are the tricky part, though. I basically look at the models online and copy their shoes and so I had to buy a few new pairs this year.

It is all about proportion. I’m tall and thin but have long legs and a short torso. High waisted wide leg pants make me look horrible. Low/medium rise cropped pants look amazing.

Looking good is understanding how trends work on your body.

It may take a few wears, but the look will become more familiar and grow on you.

I bought these - the barrel cut is more subtle in person and the green is a prettier olive. I like them!

those look really nice - do they hit you as a crop like for the model?

I'm 5'2" so they are full length on me. I've been flipping the bottom up a bit and I think that looks better so I will probably get them hemmed.

Not for me.
DD is very tall, thin and toned. Any pants look great on her, but some look better than others.

I've been wearing versions of Athleta's Venice pant to work for years, thought I wouldn't purchase the current iteration with a white side stripe: https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=854424032&vid=1&searchText=venice#pdp-page-content

They are fitted at the waist but it's not tight elastic, and the fabric skims the rest of the body in a flattering way.

I just got wide leg jeans and I am a kindergarten teacher so they seem like a great choice for my day!

Related to that I bought a pair of wide leg overalls from American eagle and they are the softest stretchiest pants I’ve never owned. I wish I could just get them in pants.
