MAJOR FASHION DON'T

Shanus — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 23:57:01 GMT

Just received my new Talbot's catalog. Looks like they're moving away from the very tailored, too preppy styles.

I saw this photo of pants w/ ruffles on the hip pockets....That's a definite fashion No!

I think the ruffles are cute! Since they're small they don't add too much fullness to the hips. I imagine these pants would look best on a slender woman though.

@kivah Most women don't need extra width or drawing attention w/ ruffles to the hip area.

The ruffles on the hips will make anyone's hips look bigger.... won't be doing the ruffled hips.

But I also see emboidered do-dads on the shirt... thought we were sooo over that. Well, not me, I love it ......

@Shanus, They look like men's pants from the 60's even with the ruffles -- no, thanks.

@Katcat1. I agree. I don't like side pockets like that with or without ruffles.

They may be trying to move away, but those pants are still designed for the same figure that looked good in what they were already selling.

As much as I could see that the fabric Talbot's used was good and that most of their workmanship was good, over all the years I've had to shop for clothes, there aren't a whole lot of popular chains where I've spent less than what I've spent at Talbots.

They used to have a huge presence in the mall 2 minutes from my Florida condo. They had left for months before I even realized they were gone. Like those little hip ruffles (which will be cute on the right body), not much in their inventory works for my body type.

Still looks conservative and preppy to me, they just put a bit of ruffle on the pockets.

Ruffled hip pockets...who designs these things? They would only suit a very slim woman with no hips to speak of or a pre-teen girl.

It wasn't so long ago that i was a size 6 (only about 15 yrs! haha) and i could have enjoyed wearing something new like those trousers! Yes, there is a new twist (ruffle) on the pockets, but overall i love the way it is taylored. Also, if i found a pair that fit me well, i tend to go with solid color tops.

Now, uh uh, just no. And likely never again. For one thing, i doubt they even come in my size. But never say never. Hope springs eternal.

My opinion, I'm more for it than against it! Cheers!

Either that or a self confident woman who really likes them and knows that a little ruffle trim on a pocket isn't going to maker her look any bigger than she is.....but even if it did, she wouldn't care.

My Talbot's has a sign up Closed For Remodeling and underneath something when it re-opens, Talbot's will have a new look. If this is an example, no thank you.

So if you have rolls of chub (like I do) it sets it out even more.

You almost have to wear a shirt in or it's stupid. Anyway, I won't be wearing one of those....Denim & Co or not.

If it's trending, look to ALL the designers bringing them to the Q in every size.... and like Logo, they'll all be copying it and telling us that it looks good on everyone....
