What's your opinion on barrel pants? Personally I think they have a odd look.

I know many like barrel pants. I don't mind wide leg pants, but barrel pants.....nope. I don't think that style will last long.

Well I thought I didn't care for them until I purchased Aimee Kestenberg all cotton barrel pants. Loved them so much I got all 3 colors flattering and so comfortable!

@Momofdogs

I totally agree. Tried a pair on in a B&M store and tney looked awful on me, but I'm only 4'10"......maybe different on a taller person. di

I can't think of any reason I would choose to look like I was walking with 2 barrels for legs.

I do not care for them. Every time I see a pair it reminds me bow legged cowboys.

I don't have any barrel pants but thought about trying them. I have heavy legs and I thought the style would work for me. I always have a problem with slacks being too snug in the legs.

They look like a good cover up for thunder thighs though. Not for me! Made for tall girls like the tunics. Will disappear like the cold shoulder and shark bite trends.

@beckyb1012 & @Momofdogs Reason why I won't touch them as I am bowlegged.

@Lucylu12 What do you find flattering about them on you?

Some women actually look good in them, but I'm not one of those women.

I'm thinking that barrel pants will be a FAD ... not a TREND.

JMHO, but I think they're rather hideous. Again, JMHO.

I saw them , leans on a slim 20 something with a black cropped tee. She looked cute. I have to be careful of wide leg style pants at my age which is Old...to say the least.

Trendy purchase

I never liked them, for all of the reasons already mentioned, but I just go a pair from Talbots, and I love them. They are a knit, more like a straight leg, I think. Maybe they shouldn't have been called "barrel"? I don't think I would like them in a denim or stiffer material

I am not a fan of wide leg pants overall prefer a straight leg. I am 5'9, about 140 lbs.

There are lots of pants styles that go in and out of fashion. The ones I never wore were the stirrup pants. Yuck.

I purchased a pair from D&C. I've worn them twice. Tonight they go into the laundry and then into my "donation" bag. I just don't like the look.

Let's throw them in the barrel.

I think they would be unflattering on me also, tho I am not as petite as you are. I would think they will at some point have a petite range of sizes for someone like yourself.

I was curious about how they would look on me so I made a trip to the mall and tried on several barrel jeans made by different brands. They were all returned back on the rack. Not for me.
