I don't like pants banded at the bottom!

[ Edited ]

Another trend QVC features endlessly,,,like cold shoulder! Don't like 'knit' or poly blends either. I am slender and 5'1"...if I wore LR pants, I would look 4'11"!

That's why IM the only line I purchase..he uses alot of cotton!

I do not like pants banded at the bottom either.  They remind me of workout pants from the 70s and 80s.

 

The one positive aspect is they do not have to be hemmed.

 

LR does the same styles over and over.

I don't like banded bottoms either. I have one pair I bought at Old Navy this winter.  Fine for around the house, that's it. I am short also, 5'2" and about 103 lbs. I prefer something closer to my thighs. I do like the colors though. I don't even own one cold shoulder top. Just not my style. We all have our own preferences.

I'm 5'6" but I don't like them either.  As someone pointed out looks like harem pants from I Dream of Jeannie.  Plus IMO it makes the hips look wider something I do not need!

Add me to the list of not being a fan of these pants either.  They remind me of pajama pants kids wear with the two or three inch elastic ankle band.   No thanks1

@ellaphant

 

I don’t care for banded legs on pants either. Or, for that matter, lots of other factions including cold shoulder, capris, hi low and other uneven hemlines... 

 

I simply don’t purchase those things. Lots of other people like them and do buy them. Thank goodness, I still have options I like and buy.
