    I was so glad these pants went out of style after their popularity in the 80's. Being pear shaped, it was always a challenge styling these without accentuating my lower half. Now that they're back, I'm not touching them!

      I’m very thin and I would never wear them either! To me, they are just not flattering on the body, no matter your weight or shape. They make the hips look huge! Who wants bigger hips than we’ve already got!

    Abercrombie has great wide leg pleated pants! They also have regular, short and tall lengths. I have some from a couple years ago with elastic at the back. Soo comfy, but cute! They seem really popular and go out of stock a lot, but they restock all the time. I totally agree that dressing them down is key!

I got a linen/cotton pair from Gap that seems to work, but I had to size up because the waist was too tight. Also, thanks for sharing Lydia Tomlinson’s video! She’s my other favorite and does a good job styling the effortlessly chic style.

      Everything looks good on Lydia. She’s young, tall, thin, and perfectly fit. I watch Erin because she gives me hope that clothes *might* look good on me at my height and my age.

    I wore these pants in the Eighties and I'm five foot two. I bought the ones with the Zip in the back which is more forgiving especially if there's a bit of elastic in the back. I wore heels or low platforms with them.
    A bodysuit shirt is great underneath to get the smooth outline.

    It’s a hard pass for me! 50 yrs old with a super short torso (think head on a waist) so pleats are a NO. Was thrilled when they went away and can’t wait for them to leave again 😂

    It goes to show how effective you are with your styling because I vowed I would NEVER wear pleated trousers again. I wore them during the 90's and I never felt super confident in them and I would cringe whenever I look at old photos LOL. Well, I might give it another go with your suggestions. Thanks so much for putting in the time, effort and sweat, Erin, to help your adoring audience!!!

I am excited about trying these, but it's almost like it takes some studying to get it right! I can imagine myself in the blazer/ pants combo standing permanently with my hands in my pockets so everyone can see I have a waist!🤣🤣 Maybe we all need to watch Annie Hall again to see how the experts did it back in the day! 🙃 Keep up the great work; YOU ROCK!

    Yes! Wear what you like and what feels good! I love the oversized outfit with that gorgeous blazer!!! Sure, the pleats may enhance my size 14 tummy, but who cares? Model-like perfection is absurdly unattainable, so why bother trying to perpetuate it?! . If I like it I’ll wear it. If it’s tailored, neat, clean and reminiscent of my youth, even more fun!!!

    LOVE this Erin!!! I purchased some trousers from Ashley Stewart in black, navy and white. I had three of them tailored into shorts to wear as a short suit and I purchased these for trousers. I highly recommend these if you are petite and curvy. The pleated, belt loop details are elasticized and they don't look like it. Definitely will skim over the tummy and define the waist. They also have tall, regular leg lengths. Thanks Erin for sharing your styling tips!!! 👑💯💜💐🌞

    Thank you for this video. I loved these pants in the 80’s and bought a pair of beige ones recently. I have felt limited in what I could wear with them as I too, am petite at 5’2. I love wearing them with a white body skimming blouse with the half tuck or my black and white striped T-shirt and platform white sneakers. Now, you have given me more options and I will try the cropped blazer. I was also thinking of a bodysuit but it’s hard to find them with a full bottom ( I don’t like the thong style). You look amazing in all of the outfits and I continue to learn from you every week. 😃💕

    I’m 5’ tall and a size 12. I just love the pleated pants look. I found some paper bag tailored pleated trousers at Target that I didn’t have to Alter. I get so many compliments when I wear them. The trick I found is to wear a long cardigan that’s the same color as the pants. With a very fitted top, tucked, just as you mentioned. And it looks amazing. Otherwise I look like a cute round potato 😬🤣🤣🤣

    I have a pair of pleated pants that I really like because instead of wide leg being loose; mine have an elastic cuff on bottom which is more flattering on my 5 ft petite frame. I wear mine usually with a t shirt and casual flat ankle boots or sneakers. Liked your info too. Thanks for all your effort you put into this.

    I loved this video - thanks! I am petite too and just got some pleated pants so it is helpful. I liked the blazer options - the fitted scoop tank made it femine and fun without being overwhelmed by fabric.
    I styled my pleats with an off the shoulder half tucked drapey blouse and some platform sandals and enjoyed how effortly chic it felt (though the look did definitely involve effort!).

    I have a silk-like material pair of pleated trousers I got from H&M. I am 5’10’ and always liked these when I was young and slimmer. Now it takes getting used to these all over again. This video got me thinking about what tops and jackets to wear with them. I actually have a cropped blazer in black and some cropped dress tops that would work for this look. Thanks for brain storming these looks with pleated trousers. I think my favorite look you showed was the pleated trousers with the tank top.

    Thank you for this video Erin. I wish it was live a couple of months ago because I ordered quite a few of these trousers too! I even went bananas on the price I was willing to pay for some of them because I wanted so much to wear one of these pants this Summer... None of them worked for me and after every return I was left with a horrible feeling that my body was the problem which escalated quickly to my age being the problem... As you can imagine, the whole experience ended in a lot of tears. Your video (and your face while modeling the outfits) made me laugh! God, I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated about the fit of these pants!!!!

  • @pjalexandra
    @pjalexandra 2 роки тому

    One of my go-to looks is long, wide-leg trousers, flat-front or pleated. I think if you choose pleats, how the pleats are tailored REALLY matters, i.e. look for quality. I also find a higher- neck tank adds length and coverage, if that is desired. I'm tall with 32 inch inseam, so for my body way and style, I find them incredibly versatile: wear with a tank, camisole, t-shirt, crop sweater, romantic blouse, super-tailored shirt, waist coat or blazer. That said, I get how these are maybe not everyone's cup of tea. I loved your honesty and sense of humour in this one, Erin :)

    Great ideas! I agree with the wide leg pleated pants being hard to style for us petites. I find I have to work extra hard to find a way it works for me as I’m curvy and only 5ft 2 so I have to wear like a fitted body suit with pants like that and a crop cardigan or blazer is cute as well.

    I am actually loving the wide leg high waist trouser look. It actually helps show off my waist which I have been working hard for . I have wide hips so it helps balance me out . Plus I love wearing them w my platform converse or Mules - feeling so fashionable . I have bought a couple of the pleated variety from banana republic - at first I was skeptical of the pleats but depending on which ones I can make it work . I do think something fitted on top is key . Since BR carries petite sizes- I think that is a good place for some ladies to look .

    Favorite look has been with a pink fitted tee-color of the moment. Fun combo!
