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!

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.
