Anyone here a fan of wide leg pants?

I am a small and very petite lady.  Wide leg pants do not look flattering on me.  I used to have a few pairs back in the 70's, but for some reason, this style is not for me.  Any other petite ladies feel the same way?

I am also small....and under 5'.    I love palazzo pants and gauchos!

@Lala Ann, I kind of like them.  They flow and are so comfy !

You walk and you flow.  I am considering buying a pair.  But I can see that some may not like them.

I am 5'4" and have tried them but think they make me look heavier. I have long legs but they give me a square appearance instead of adding length.

I like them in some lounging outfits and my culottes. Not a fan of the really wide long slacks.

I am short and I don’t think they are flattering on me.  I remember wearing them years ago and getting my foot caught in the hem and losing my balance and falling. And they tended to sweep up the street and get dirty on the bottoms.

 

When your pant leg is wide, your top should be closely fitted and that is a no for me either. 

 

i don’t like leggings or tight pants. I prefer a straight leg classic pant with no flare at the bottoms and they look best on me.

I like them for dressier occasions only.

No. I don't think they look good on anyone.

I don't care for them on me or on anyone, really.  I'm 5'4-1/2" with a 32" inseam, but I'm very thin, so narrow or even boot cut pants look best on me.  What I really hate is when I see older women wearing wider leg pants that are waaayyy too short on them.  OMG!
