These were shown this morning,

A513070

Belle by Kim Gravel Regular Flexibelle Pull-On Joggers

And both Mary and Kim looked so nice in them.

I have questions...

has anyone purchased these and if so, how do you wear them?

The video is great and current showing both Mary and Kim wearing these as almost leggings?

How are we going to be wearing pant fashions this fall?

Loose and flowy or tighter to the leg?

If it is tighter to the leg, I've got work to do!

Last winter season I never did find jeans that I could end up with a fit like M & K did this AM?

It seems like I always have to choose...jogger with an elasticized cuff 

or

straight leg jean?

Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated!

I don't have these but they do look very nicely made; I like the high cotton content. Not sure what the style will be for fall/winter; I just look for whatever looks semi-all right on me! I only wear joggers as sleepwear and never spend more than $20 on a pair, usually having to search on Belk or Macy's websites for them. My most comfortable pair was a Sport Savvy pair I got last year. Sorry I can't help you with any fashion advice

@LTT1 ...........Wear what you like and are comfortable in.  I bought into the whole skinny jean thing and I perfer boot cut and bell bottoms.  I have several pair of skinny jeans I have to force myself to wear.  Thats what I get for trying to be "in style" and not being just me.

Thank you for your replies!

In the "old days"

I used to plant myself in a dressing room with millions of jeans to try on just to end up with a pair that looked decent! 
Oh my how I dreaded THOSE trips!

And last year when women started wearing their jeans/pants closer to the body...

well, I would have liked to have been able to.

I have skinny jeans and like them but the thought of wearing anything that tight doesn't appeal right now.

And ordering online...

pants are a PAIN to fit!

I don't concern myself with fashion trends. I wear what works for my body and age.

@LTT1  I think voluminous clothes will continue as a trend.  And I hear color, but designers and fashion marketers always say that.

I don't think those pants are on trend, but I have similar Logo ones (A461100) that I wear that I bought in Oct 2021, when joggers were a pandemic trend.  Belle's do not have poly, which I think is a plus.  Logo includes poly in its denim blend.

I wear this with a simple top, not voluminous, since the pants have volume.

Thank you for your reply and including a photo!

Yes, I believe joggers are not a lasting trend.

But I'm also interested in wearing the styles that look right on my proportions and for my lifestyle

Mainly, the trend of wide leg pants I don't think are going to work for me...

I have tried joggers in the past and never really liked them. They tend to hike up my legs ( even though I have slim caves) and I found myself forever pulling them down. So I don't plan on ever getting them again. Maybe this Kim Gravel jogger is different.

I have purchased plenty of wider legged pants for spring and summer and find them very comfortable particularly in hot weather. I have noticed a few pairs of pants shown lately with slimmer legs but I don't know what the "in" look is going to be this fall/winter. 

I was never able to wear skinny jeans or even leggings ( which are supposed to be out now) because I have a pretty bad case of knock knees and I don't like having my legs outlined . When skinny jeans were in style I just wore straight legs which seem to always work. 

I also really like Lori Goldstein's boyfriend jeans. They tend to fit me well and I think they are cute.

 I have no clue what's going to be the look this upcoming year. I hope wider pants are still a thing but as they say, wear what works best for you!!

I am with you on this @LTT1!. I think we are both not tall.

I avoid voluminous styles.

I won't be wearing any wide leg jeans, but lighter weight material might work because the drape keeps the volume in check.  I have some lighter weight wide leg pants that I like that are no longer in stock, but I find Women With Control always does right by me.  WWC have a forgiving fit.  I found a new wide leg style pant you may like, not jeans, A648386 (regular 29" inseam) and A648387 (petite 26" inseam).  In black + 3 colors:
