THE MEG'S GIANT MAN PANTS & HOW *NOT* TO LOOK DISHEVELED
Vložit

- Was the Meg on to something when she went swimming in humungous trousers? Did she have it right in her puddle-o' pants moment? We'll get to that, but regardless, there's no denying that wide leg slacks (wide leg pants in USA aka WLPs) are EVERYWHERE right now. There's no escaping them! WHAT IS HAPPENING?! Today's video is all about this trend, how to find success with WLP (& what pulling wide leg trousers ACTUALLY looks like) and we also go shopping together, taking a look at different styles easy to find in stores most places hopefully and what pair might be best to try first based on your personal style concerns.
Also, bonus! I even went out and got a pair for this video to demonstrate, towards the end of the video. I did include for reference, the tags and showed what size they are because it's relevant if I'm suggesting a product. They are 27x32 (much too long as you'll see) and I am 5'1" almost. Everything will be linked, for US viewers it's easiest to just go to the products tab as there's thumbnails (pictures) that will take you straight to the item, but if you don't have the products tab yet, don't worry they're linked below!
Come find me on socials!
Thankyou so much for watching
Have a HAPPY DAY
ILY, BB

Catherine makes affordable clothes look expensive while Meghan makes expensive clothes look cheap!
Very well put!.👏🏻
Couldn't have said it better. 🙏
Yes..all the time, MM never gets the colour, the outfit or the occasion right!!
I never wear what meghan wear 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I don't think we could categorise Kate's clothes as "affordable".
The cable actress has a deluded vision of her body. I am barely 5'4, big breasted for my size and my body has changed in my late 30's. I can't wear the type of clothes that women like Catherine who are tall and slender can wear but I have learned to wear what is flattering on me. It has always been very evident to me that the cable actress is NOT confident in how she looks and has never accepted her body as it is.
Apparently she put supermodel on her CV at one point. Perhaps that's related to the work she did for Reitmans. Idk. Just speculating.
She may believe she does have supermodel proportions. That's unfortunate and tragic.
As you stated, MM has NO self awareness and that is her downfall.
The Cable Gal is delusional in most aspects of life. "Supermodel"??😂😂😂
The pants were callots In my day early 80's and my mum recognized them as something she wore my mum's 97 im 65 . They're really nice In velvets rich colours
On the contrary, she IS confident in how she looks. Her narcissism tells her she looks GORGEOUS all the time. Every woman on the planet ought to be envious of her and if they are not, something is wrong with them! She thinks she ought to be in Catherine's shoes. Thank God for small mercies that she never got her claws in to William first. He's too savvy anyway. :)
She desperately needs a stylist and more importantly she needs a good tailor. She never fails to illustrate the importance of having a very good tailor.
She needs to learn to listen and accept advice.
And a hair stylist!
ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND (on ANYONE) the "puddle o' pants" -- they're slacks, not Victorian-era curtains! They're a tripping hazard and they're just ugly. And the pleats on the front only work if you're a stick-figure. For the rest of us with a tummy, they just put a neon sign there.
Same here. I wonder how dirty
the bottom of the cuffs get.
@@JenO-ut1vnfilthy.
How does Meghan not trip over her pant legs?
Can you imagine how filthy they get??🤮
I think that every time. I would not be able to walk.
How does she not trip wearing high heels that always look three sizes too large along with the Hindenburg Blimp pants?
Especially with stilettos which are one size too big!
I love my bootcut jeans however, that's as wide as I'd go. I don't like these ginormous trousers at all. Dear God Duchess Del Taco thinks if she wears, Dior or Chanel it doesn't matter what it is and 99% of the time it looks HIDEOUS! Obviously she cannot dress herself, I'd suggest she gets herself a "stylist". If her life is just private jets and concerts, I'm sure she could afford it.
What does “Del Taco” mean?
@@maryscott2308it's the name of a cheap Mexican "restaurant" in the US. LIike a Mexican McDonalds.
@maryscott2308 A cartoon recently parodied Meghan and Harry and included a joke about them don't an ad for Del Taco.
@@maryscott2308 the cartoon "Family Guy" like "Southpark" lampooned them and had Megsy announcing it was time to do their $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco lol
MM's arrogant attitude is terrible. She has a no nonsense attitude about everything. Especially in dress codes. It was not clear what she was doing when she appeared in public with Catherine. They had gone to watch a game. What did the hat in her hand have to do with it? Same with the Queen too. She was required to wear a hat in the presence of the Queen. But she accompanied the queen with sloppy hair. I am not British. But her attitude was repulsive even to me. There isn't much to say about the pants. I believe she is confused about what to do to attract attention. Everything should be about "herself". She does everything for this.
My understanding about the "hat in the hand" is that at Wimbledon you are banned from wearing hats and it can obstruct others viewing of the game. Obviously Duchy Del Taco was not aware of this rule or she was and thought she'd get away with wearing it thinking there would be no one seated within ten rows of her like the stunt she pulled attending Wimbledon with her friends.
You may be right. She thinks she is above the "rules". This is complete nonsense.
Yes, no hats allowed in the Royal Box.
Those of us 5'6" and shorter should embrace simplicity and well-tailored looks.
Back in the day (seventies?) We called them :pallazo? Pants
Oh that’s right! I loved those.😊
Pallazo pants pants are extremely wide legged pants that look like a long skirt when worn
Katherine Hepburn wore pants as a Hollywood star despite the studio push back. She looked absolutely fabulous because she understood proper tailoring. Everything fit her body to perfection and she normalized women wearing pants. Me-gain…seems to skip the Tailoring but thinks she looks fab!
Nope.
Never again.
Been there, done that.
Live in a cold climate.
Wide leg pants are only good for one thing.
Soaking up melted snow and slush while you are driving.
Always had cold wet hems when I got to work.
Ugghh.
We called them bell bottoms for those wide legged pants, and the low rise, we called hip huggers in my day.
How can Harry be so blind of such lack of class in that woman he was trapped to wed ?
As my old Mum used to say you're saving the road sweepers a job. 😂😂
Beebs, you HAVE to wear that shade of blue every day. You're eyes look more amazing than usual!
Oh thank you!
I was alive in the 70s and remember these monstrosities from then so I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing these! I hate them completely, but enjoyed your video.
Back in the early 1970's, the 'wide legged' pants, were called 'elephant leg' pants, (I did not wear them then either), they looked sloppy and messy then, too.
I hated them then and will not wear them again.
I remember them, in the UK they were known as "Oxford Bags" and often worn with platform shoes
I wore them, they had to have a platform or chunky shoe to work. I don’t care for today’s wide leg pants with dainty pointy shoes, doesn’t look right to me.
I made myself a pair in mid 1970’s home EC class 🤣
I wore them in the 70's and loved them. I was 5'8" (174cm) and very willowy....(read skinny at 57kg) Luckily I'm still the same height but not so willowy any more😂. I still love the wider trouser and higher rise. In the 70's they were more "Zoot Suit" looking and called Oxford Flares (never heard them called "elephant anything") and could be very attractive if you were tall....but they did not drag on the ground or puddle around your feet and yes you wore them with platform shoes or (the shoes the Queen disapproved of for the Royal ladies....can't recall the name now...that's what happens if you lived through the 70's😅) "Wedges" !!...how could I forget that!!!
I now have new trousers that have a wider leg and higher rise but not the extreme as the models are wearing. I love my new trousers and will again wear them with Wedges!!!❤❤
I can’t remember where I heard or saw a comment that Meghan doesn’t get her clothes “tailored” because she tries to resell the cloths once she has worn them. Kinda makes sense because NONE of her clothes fit properly and she REALLY needs to invest in an iron and ironing board! You are very kind in your comments.
I am NOT BODY SHAMING her because we are all different but she has the figure of Sponge Bob Square Pants! There are a few, and I do mean a FEW) instances where I think she looks fantastic and it is spot on your explanation of her torso and height. 😂
Meghan got short leg for wearing these pant,don't look good on her,I just bought one,it good on me I got long leg
I am guessing her reselling her clothes after she has worn them would explain her leaving tags on them too 😅
@@NikkiBikkiNZ 😂🤣🤭I totally forgot about that!
I would NOT put it past her to sell her clothes. I'll bet most she hasn't paid for - designers just send her freebies and we all know how fond she is of her FREEBIES. Duchy Del Taco pulling yet another GRIFT!
@@lisamak7288 🤣🤣🤣
I'm just putting this out there, but I'm older. I remember really wide legged pants being in vogue in the mid 1970's and I actually wore them! ( not to be confused with bell bottoms, these were WIDE legged) In my day they were fitted in the pelvis area and then ballooned out at the leg area and sat lower on the hip. I was super thin, but I was only 5'7 inches. The trick was not to have them draping and puddling on the ground, and wearing a very slimming top with them.
I remember it well, we used to wear huge platform shoes under them, with the hem just a little above the ground. Our legs looked insanely long. They were very well fitted over the waist and hips and were very comfortable.
Same here... they were great... I had a pair with a big belt and I thought I was IT... But they did look great with platforms.
..."greeting her boobs..." is priceless! So true, great visual!
Big pants, like clowns wear? I think it’s a scam designers pull on the public to force them to buy the “in” clothes.
Immediately in the new year the headlines will be “wide legged pants are just wrong, pencil pants are now IN” you know it!
Of course it is!
You had me at “like clowns wear”!!!
As an apple-body type; I am allergic to those dad pants with pleats! Yuk! 😅
Just hearing the words 'giant man pants' makes me giggle as I picture the many occasions with the Meg swimming in waaaayyy too large trousers 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve never seen ANYONE look good in giant pants!
My pregnancies widened my already wide hips. There's no chance that I'm jumping into a pair of wide-legged baggy pants! 😊 I'd look ridiculous!
Hi Kelly, thank you for your video. You are an extraordinary teacher, you never criticize unkindly like many people. rather, you give advice on how to use our body shape to our advantage to look our best. It's not easy when you have a stomach and you're also small to find the right clothes, but thanks to you I choose my clothes better. How many times have I bought a piece of clothing that I never wore or only wore once, but it's now over! thank you and have a nice day, from Montreal, Quebec.
💛💛
I love these videos. They have sass, practical suggestions, and pointing out the absurdities of the clothing of MM.
Yes. More of this style of video would be great.
Personally, I enjoyed this focused video despite now being a mostly housebound, retired senior who rarely thinks about clothes much anymore, and I found your live demo very helpful in underlining the points you had been making.
I congratulate you on the diplomatic, non-judgemental & all inclusive advice which you regularly offer to such widely varied types & combos of body builds.
Also, kudos on making your videos both interesting & educational, and on your light hearted & upbeat voice & narration style which is a pleasure to listen to ...especially on a bad day.
It is so nice to have access to practical fashion & makeup suggestions for those not exclusively blessed with tall, slim, long-waisted, perfectly proportionate figures.
Even prior to wrestling with my current 70 year old, obese body, I was (at my very finest ) a 5'2", short torso, non-existent waistline gal - big busted but slim hipped, and never successful at obtaining a washboard flat abdomen... I was also caught between the eras when the ideal female images ranged from a curvaceous 1950s Marilyn Monroe to the 1960s waif-like Twiggy (whilst bearing no discernable likeness to either).
Access to your channel would have been an absolute godsend as I struggled, in my youth, to find the styles and items most flattering to my body type and personal taste.
I'm sure making your videos is tiring & time consuming work, but rest assured that I very much applaud your efforts and I know I am not alone in that.
I saw a photo of Eve Longoria in a pair of wide leg trousers the other day an she looked gorgeous. They had 1 pleat, but fit and hit the ground but no puddle. And she is tiny.
I tried one pair of these and they immediately went to the Don't Ever Wear These In Public Ever Again drawer and then, ultimately, to Goodwill 😆
Me too. They didn’t look like I imagined. Donate Bin!!
It’s like the Twilight Zone because I swear The Meg has talked publicly about how important fit and tailoring are for fashion! She seems to “know” at least SOMETHING about this stuff. She did a pretty decent job with her Vogue issue and the SmartWorks outfit, and she claims to have learned a ton from helping with her own wardrobe on Suits. And she did look good on Suits! She was better dressed on that show and in public during those years than she ever has been since. No giant man pants, no staggering like a shaky little foal in shoes that are hanging off, no flouncing around at weddings with her bra out. So how/why has she gone so wrong?! Who knows. It’s the mystery of The Meg. 🔮
She always looks like a sack of potatoes tied in the middle.She does'n and never will look good in anything. ooks like an hooker standing in street corner in Compton waiting to score her next trick Trouble is, she had given virtually EVER man Venereal Disease with he shagging around, If I were them I'd tell their wives and gir[friends to be checked out at the pox clinic, who knows what the feral cat on heat has passed around to every man she has opened her legs for in those ridiculous trousers, she looks flaming stupid in those tan ones and that top she had on. Got no fashion sense at all. Looks like she had the outfit off Simon Cowell, Head judge on X Facror and Britain's Got Talent. She's and old tramp NOT a young, beautiful fashion model or a REAL LADY like Catherine The Princess of Wales who can wear something from H& M and make it look like Chanel or YSL. She looks great in anything and does'nt have to try too hard. High street fashions look like designer wear on this gorgeous young lady.Catherine gets 10000% when it comes to fashion and carrying clothing off as a wel as she does. Skidmarkle gets ----- 0, she looks like a bag person who wears rags and thinks she she looks great, If she thinks Prince William wants her she is absolutely deluded. He has a gorgeous wife and family at home, he DOE'NT want a scrag end of fatty mutton like Skidmarkle. He DOES have standards and NOT THAT hard up dressed like a hooker, all fur coat and no knickers.
Thank you for your hard work and putting out videos almost daily. I’ve become addicted and can hardly imagine my breakfast without your videos now 🙏☺️
Thanks for this video. I always find your videos really informative. It baffles me that people would ever want “puddle pants”. It looks horrible!
"Oxford Bags" were a thing back in the day... the waistband was high/fitted (often a buckle-back or sides) and soft pleat at front and drape down from buttock/hip. One needed the platform shoes not to look dumpy.
I remember them well!
Meg always look messy and ill fitted.
I'm old enough to remember the "bell bottom" type pants of the 70s. Didn't like them then, don't like them now.
And I can't help bit think circus stilt walker when I see anyone wearing wide leg pants even if they look good.
But people should wear what they like. If a person is comfortable in what they wear and carries themselves with real confidence, the clothes fade into the background.
Or they were called elephant bells as well. Who knew we would be cool again! Wish I'd saved mine.
I wore bell bottoms in the 70's too. I wouldn't wear them now at 77 but I do love a boot cut jean and I think they are flattering for a lot of people. I'm only 5'4" so I try to look taller and make my legs look a little longer.
In America, these pants were big in the 60s and 70s. But then, everything is cyclical.
No trousers out of proportion or covering one's shoes. There is a reason the elements and principles of design exist: to create a great look. Sheesh! What is wrong with these people?
That blue looks lovely on you
This style of trousers were popular for women in the 1950’s.
Except then, women actually went to tailors and had them hemmed properly and looked like Katherine Hepburn. Now women shlump around like chimney sweeps!
They called em bogarts
I am so happy with this wide-leg trend. For many years I didn't find jeans that would fit around my upper thighs and yet were not too large around my waist. Also, skinny jeans make my legs look like chicken drumsticks. I bought two pairs of black jeans recently and hope they will last till my dying day.
Getting the “right” jeans is like taking part in the jeans olympics.
I have long legs but a curvy hip/ bum and then a very small waist. It’s very difficult to get jeans that work.
buy the style in every color...it's what i do😂
15:00 Excellent advice on selecting trends rather than following all. There is no need to join a trend if they make you look clownish or uncomfortable.
I Love love love your channel! I thank Jen from Real Housewives recap for pointing us to you! When the two of you get together it is magical! 😊
What is funny is that in an interview before joining the royal family, Meghan went on and on about the importance of dressing for your body type, knowing what works for you, etc.. What a hypocrite she was.
Back in the 80s the pleats were suppose to hide a tummy. However the pleats turned in or out can make a difference. The tam pants reminded of the pants that Katherine Hepburn use to wear.
These are perfect for me. It may look like hell on me but it covers up my prosthetic. I found cute, wide leg. Bib overalls. I bought like eight of them. I don't care about style, I just like to be completely covered. It's so funny watching you when your not happy with the style. The look on your face is hilarious. Like your disappointed with a five year old.😅
Beebs is always encouraging people to ultimately wear what they like and feel comfortable in,even if it doesn't meet someone else's sense of style and fit.
As someone who can feel tags, seams and often feels claustrophobic in the loosest of clothing, I struggle to find anything that I feel comfortable in. I wear whatever I don't want to immediately rip off, fit, style, be darned.
I would make a terrible fashion icon, though. I think can live with that.
I'm not a fashion icon either but I don't look like w wrinkled rag picker either 🤣🤣🤣
@@mrsterious5845 At least you are well aware of that fact. MM is completely oblivious.
Yes, my cousin married a woman who had her leg shot off by her brother in a hunting accident.. she used crutches (her dad told her it was vane to want a plastic leg!!), until she got a job, she worked and sang in a nightclub, as she could wear a long dress, sit on a stool and then they'd open the curtains. The first thing she saved for was an artificial leg (while most of us wanted a car, or a holiday, or fancy clothes.... just a leg, so she could walk like everyone else!!) I had to admire her, but the tough life she had as a kid, she had a few mental health issues, had a problem with alcohol, she had some deamons to fight 😢😢😢
Not on meghan,her leg are too short wearing these pant 🤮🤮🤮
No one looks good in very wide leg jeans!!! They are NOT figure flattering.
I’m short waisted as well. I tried to get with the high waisted trend but it honestly doesn’t suit me. It was actually my husband who pointed it out and he’s so right. Mid rise flatters me so much better. Thankfully brands are catching on and making jeans in the newer straight styles but with mid rise!
I agree. Mid-rise is high-rise on short, short-waisted me. High rise goes up to bust!🙂
The red worn at NY Bench reading day, are the absolutely the worst.
No,no, no. No thank you. Looks terrible on 99,9% of all people.
❤
Lisa Johansson,
Gothenburg Sweden
Totally agree, especially the really wide ones. No thanks! 😊
Beebs dahling you are so funny🎉😅😊❤
💛💛
Hey Beebs😊I don’t think the pants that are wide from top look good on anyone!! It reminds me of my grandpa, he used to have them belted around his chest!! Meg just tries to start trends and it fails miserably.🤮🤮thank you Beens❤
I agree totally with you. Kind of like the things people used to call old man pants, where they have them pulled up way past the waistline.
I remember someone trying to say the pants Meghan are wearing are “elephant pants” and are in style. I can’t imagine how. Sometimes, the pants I see Meghan wearing look like they could be too big for Harry who is over 6 feet tall. She wears some huge pants!
If that someone was a magazine or similar outlet it's entirely possible that someone was paid to say it.
Also, like Beebs demonstrated here, they're mostly not wearing them as huge as Meghan.
This takes me to the 1930s 1940s mens trousers where the 'waist' was on the chest & the pockets were on the mid torso. You could do it with braces & a kooky colour or just give it a rest & join the circus.
I’m 5’1, 125 lbs. I will never wide leg pants.
Fantastic tutorial, you explained every aspect of wide legged pants so thoroughly. I like the Sailor style of pants, with the buttons at the hips, but as I'm short, not brave enough to attempt wearing them. Apart from anything else, The Meg makes wide legged pants look so awful, it makes me feel I wouldn't be seen dead wearing them! You look so beautiful again today! Just like Princess Catherine - you look wonderful in every colour! You have a happy day too!
Jessica Biel looks adorable and sophisticated at the same time. She wears the look splendidly..
Not for me.
I feel like I and my extended family could live quite comfortably in Meg's pants. Awful.
🤣
Wide legged pants, called bell bottoms, were huge in the 1970s even for men. Styles always come back because there's a finite way for humans to wear clothes.
Over the years, I have seen a lot of people who think that any trends can be worn successfully if you are young, which is not always the case. Great advice ❤
1:12 Jessica Biel looks simply elegant in that look. She wears it perfect.
I love that you added pics of bigger bodies, because we sometimes see too much of everything "in skinny" and wonder how we can make it work with a tummy.
Beebs, your description of these pant’s immediately reminded me of Fred Mertz from I love Lucy!
I love boot leg jeans but here in South Africa we're still stuck in the skinny jean era - which I loathe!!
Great video!! You explain these issues so thoroughly and so well. I am ride or die for skinny leg jeans and tapered trousers for the office, though. Just have to wait for them to come back around! 😅
You are so on point with MM.....all around better than the fashion police
Great video! As a short pear who also has a 28" inseam, this is very helpful. I was not a fan of skinny jeans, as I have tree trunk legs. However, I don't want to look like a refrigerator either! It seems like no trends ever flatter me! It's helpful to see less exteme examples that might be wearable for me, thanks!
Excellent video. Take a picture to embrace reality. We tend to have a certain mental image of ourselves, a picture allows us to see what others see. Love your videos, keep them coming.
I love the wide legs pants for my figure (no butt and skinny thighs) as long as the waist fits. Skinny pants never looked good on me.
Remember Gumby?
Geez, I've just recently accepted skinny ankle jeans; worn with boots. Wide leg pants? No.
This was really helpful! Buying pants has been the worst for me all my life. Thank you so much!
Definitely appreciate your advice for the short waisted!
Love this video, Beebs! I learned a lot (I’m totally fashion-challenged 😅).
I also enjoy your gossip video about The Dumb Prince and This One’s wife. Keep being yourself and put out awesome content for us. ❤
I've always favored flared, boot cut or even occasionally certain specific 'wide leg' pants. I grew up with what we used to call bell-bottoms back in the 60's & 70's. It's all about the cut, fit & length. I hate the whole pleated front, baggy style that Meghan tries to wear. The length is particularly important, (especially when they either drag on the floor or look like floods). Catherine wears them beautifully, always fitted to perfection & exactly the right length.
I'm 5'6", but have very long legs & I always wear heels. I look better in mid rise, fitted & flared, rather than tight, skinny leg pants. My personal pet peeve is when pants are worn too short, I think it looks ridiculous, even on the most beautiful women. The most important thing is to feel good in what you wear, regardless of what's "in style" at the moment.
You always have such excellent advice, suggesting options for what best flatters different body types. Thanks for another informative & entertaining video. Luv ya Honey! 💖
💛💛💛💛
I don’t know what Meghan was thinking when she left the house in those giant wrinkled pants! Cringe! Very informative video, Beebs!
Many can and do make the wide leg trousers look quite good, but it's a bit strange when they're puddling on the ground around the feet. Chunky sport shoes also do not help the look at all.
That's why you wore platform shoes
I'm so surprised that M has not tripped on them and fallen. Still waiting for the occasion. She obviously doesn't believe in seamstress or taylors or she may get the look right. BEEBS U ALWAYS LOOK FAB! LOXAHATCHEE FL 🇺🇸
That would be EPIC! 😂
You are a nicely balanced person. At 5' 2", I am not tall either, but being very balanced and slender, I have been able to make most things work perfectly. Personally, I like being short.
I always wear what I feel comfortable in. I like tapered trousers, not too tight and short suede boots. I'm nearly 70 so realise it's more important not to have to worry about dressing for the style of the week.
Ah, so those were wide pants on Meghan. I thought she was reliving her yacht days and got caught up in one of the sails.
There's a difference between wide-leg pants and bell bottoms! Bell bottoms hug the leg until (about) mid-calf. Wide-leg pants don't hug the body except for the waste and hip area.
Depends on how thin the legs are. 😉
@@Beruthiel45😅😅😅😅😅
This was so helpful! I want to try these but I know I'd probably look like Meg. The sailor pants I think will be the best option. Thank you for addressing this trend with different body types!
I think Meghan looks terrible in high waisted slacks. The wide leg is simply too wide in her choices. Add the two and it’ll never work on her.
Wide leg pants are my usual style as a tall woman with a small waist and wider hips with chunky thugs.
Loved the jeans at the end!! ❤
Meg ruined her sailor paints with white tennis shoes.
I am small, and look like a fool with wide leg pant's😮
I think it would benefit women and men so so much if we all got back into learning basic tailoring. I am short so my pants often are too long so I hem them myself. A couple sewing needles, thread, and scissors are all that are needed if you are even mildly skilled.
I’m very heavy & super fond of what you called the “double skirt” pants. They look pretty good on me with a long flowy tunic over them. I’m tall, so this doesn’t shorten my legs. I wear very bright patterns & a solid top. It’s fun & funky. Plus, I can wear one of my many necklaces. Maybe it’s dated, but it works for me. I don’t really care much if other people don’t like it, as I’m 54 & not necessarily trying to follow trends, just buy what I like & is super comfortable. Thanks Beebs! Love from Oregon ♥️ Jessica
I often wear 40s style wide leg trousers and I love them, I wear them during the summer and go a bit out with the sailor look e.g. striped shirt or plain blouse, straw hat, vintage sunglasses. But I did have to get them tailored because they dragged on the ground. My seamstress charged me £90 to hem two pairs of trousers, hem a maxi skirt and stitched up some holes in other clothes. So it's not exactly, crazily expensive for me and definitely well within her budget, even if she was going for a proper tailor with their own shop. Would love to know what is going through her head as to why she can't get things tailored.
As a 5ft 7in woman, have trousers/pants/jeans that can't be worn with some shoes/boots/sneakers with different heel height so mix and matching seems to work.
Yes the frumpy green ones are perfect for rainy movie Sundays 😂
It's a wonder she doesn't trip
Man pants! Yasssssssss!!!!🤣
the Nutmeg, with those armpit-high waist pants, reminds me of Cachuli (a Spanish former politician), everytime.😂🤣
My cousins have always worn WLPs, each with different body features. They are all elastic waiste bands, that way the wearer controls the amount of volume all around. Yes, they make their own.
I hate the thought of high waisted, wide leg pants! I am a senior, most often wear jeans, midrise, straight leg, and please don't tell me skinny jeans are out!
I'm old too, still got a great pair of legs... flaunt it I say... I have skinny jeans, never giving them up.
Wide leg or ' Oxford Bags' were difficult first time around, but flares, even big flares were really easy, you would have needed 3 legs and 6 feet to look bad in them, tall, short, fat, thin long or short body all worked, only saw one person mucking it up and that was wearing the wrong style top.
Some of us saw these fashions back in the early to mid 1970's
I have four wide-leg pants, all inherited from my mom, but I never use three of them because they feel so bulky. The fourth one is a flat-front, dark brown number that's super soft and hides pelvic fat really well. This proves that, like people, not all wide-leg pants are built the same.
I don’t mind wide legged pants, but what I just can’t STAND is how the style appears to be hems that are puddling on the floor like drapes. It’s just ghastly and needs to GO! In the 70’s we wore them, they were called “Elephant Pants” and this was not the high point of the 70’s! 😂. Remember that horrible fad a few years ago of the purses that had the pockets all over them? Just terrible. Didn’t buy one and they were soon in the garbage where they belonged.
Excellent job researching and presentation of wide leg pants. Very informative. Thanks.
