the pants are nice on the thin models and the price point is attractive

 

i have banded pants and like the banded hem but the big cargo pocket just does not fit with a flowy pant.  they should have forgone the extra expense of sewing the pockets and used a luxe draped knit rayon blend instead of all polyester (5% span).  the shirring in back looks bunchy as well

I can not see wearing them in the hot summer... the fabric  looks hot and unbreathable.

Picked up 3 pair of Lisa's tsv cargo pants (navy, army green, vintage rose) and 2 of her tops. Love this style of pant, can really wear any shoe style with it (heels, flip flops, converse), dress them up, dress them down. Great in fall and winter with ankle boots too. So glad she brought something current and comfortable, this style is everywhere. I'm 5' 3 1/2", bought the regular length, I actually like mine to stack/puddle a little bit at my ankle, it balances out my hips imo.

I love the Cargo pant look the way LLBean does them.  Mine are in kaki, and the pocket is a bit higher. All the workmen around here wear them in the summer. Lisa's look much different in poly and with the band ankle. I think WIC also does a poly Cargo. I have a nice cream color tee that has small cargo pockets on the sleeves. Love them both in the summer. You would never wear heels with mine. It's just a different look completely.

Apparently Lisa has done this style before and even has some other similar options available here now.  The hosts have mentioned that every time she brings a new version in that they sell like crazy hence why QVC wanted them as a TSV.  So there are some out there who like them.


Hi Wackers! Happy Friday! I own several pairs of her pants and really like them.  I paid 25 dollars more.  They do always sell out.

 

i have slender hips and slender thighs so these should be fine on me.  I also am fairly tall, but I don't take tall pants.  I never have to get pants hemmed either.  I'll wear with flats and 2.5 inch heels.

I wish I didn't like them.  I bought 2 pairs, LOL.

 

I think the pockets may bother some women, but that's the style.


I would have bought the navy if they were offered in talls.  A 29" inseam will not work for me.  Enjoy your new pants!

Paws and enjoy life.

I think the style of the pants is very nice....BUT...adding the "cargo" look with the pockets just ruins them i think....they look like a more dressy, elegent style...but then you see these pockets sticking out the sides of the middle of your legs.......just not a good combo i don't think.

There was a reason cargo pants didn't hang around long years back......


The pockets are just goofy (IMO).  They serve no purpose except to clutter up the line of the pant.

 

It's not like anyone is going to be carrying stuff around in them.

The pockets could hold a tissue - one on each side for balance.  Smiley Happy

Paws and enjoy life.

Thanks to all for posting.  I honestly believe if you are heavy in your legs and hips that those pants will only accentuate your figure challenge.  The pockets are not for many females. 

The sales numbers can be many, but so are the returns.

Seventy thousand orders have been placed. They look great on Lisa or anyone very thin. They do add weight and some bulk to the leg area. On Katia they looked too short almost like a capri. I'm with Tim Gunn's opinion of cargo pants...just say NO! LOL


I actually thought they looked good on Katia.  I don't think these pants look bad running "short" on a few people--as long as you are slender.  Albany looks fantastic in the TSV.

I recently bought two pairs of cargo pants. One pair in Nordstrom Rack and the other in TJMax. Both are made of Tencel fabric (not sure what that is) but it feels like Rayon/silk.

 

I am slim and both pants look fantastic. They are silky and hang beautifully. I love these pants. The pockets do not spoil the leg of the pants as they drape along with the rest of the pant. Both have elastic ankles. Very dressy with a nice top and jacket.

 

I am not a cargo person but these pants look really stylish.

 

The Nordstrom pant cost $29.99 and the TJMax cost $19.99.

 

I would suggest to everyone to check out these stores. You can't beat the price, but most of all you get the most stylish clothes.
