Not liking the look of women's pants going to the floor, can't see the shoes at all.

[a kennedy]

The pants, usually quite full are going all the way to the floor. Not liking the look at all. or is it just me??

[kimbutgar]

1. In the 70's we wore pants like that!

[a kennedy]

3. Must be making a comeback eh?? What is that, 50 years ago?? Yikes.

Just not liking it......the host of ET is wearing them, and nope, don’t like the look.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. If ever there was a need for photographic evidence.

What you're objecting to is not what I'm impelled to imagine.

[a kennedy]

4. I'm seeing on the tv show ET. not sure where to find what she's wearing on line.

[Demobrat]

5. I grew up wearing bell bottoms that swept the floor.

Can’t stand flood pants. Anything shorter than the tops of my shoes looks dorky to me.

[a kennedy]

9. I think there is an in between style tho......

[Demobrat]

11. If the bottoms of your jeans are not

ragged from scraping the sidewalk, they are too short.

[Kali]

16. oh yeah

[RobinA]

22. Couldn't Agree More

Pants should be as near the floor as possible without actually brushing it. I hate, hate, hate this ankle pants and spike heels look. Adds pounds to the hips.

[Demobrat]

25. Ankle pants and heels are bad.

Ankle pants and Doc Martens , or any heavy boots, are a sin against nature.

[Scrivener7]

6. They're so comfortable. I love them.

[viva la]

7. I just know they'll trip me.

Just not safe.

[Srkdqltr]

8. Its just you.

So shoes and women's feet are important to you? HUMMMM

[a kennedy]

10. Ah, not necessarily, I do like to see at least a part of a shoe, and I guess ya have to have feet

in the shoe, so ok, yah they are important.

[Srkdqltr]

12. I was being rather silly there.

[Deuxcents]

13. Fashion changes are trendy n to be fashionable is expensive but Madison Avenue loves the profits.

Next year will be something we wore years ago and the cycle goes on with a new color of the year to make it even more exciting. Glad I’m not falling for it anymore and I kept my favorite all denim 501’s n not that stretchy stuff!

[Demobrat]

18. I wear 501s almost every day.

The long baggy ones that cover my shoes.

[KarenS]

14. I agree with you.

I don't care for the look of it. To me it looks like they need to be hemmed.

I no longer 'do' trends or fashion. I wear what is comfortable and what I like.

[sorcrow]

17. Fashion ?

Fashion is for people who don't have style.

36. Your comment should have dozens of recs

I can't believe I'm the first.

[Demobrat]

19. The trend I couldn't stand and skipped entirely

was the ripped jeans thing. Ugh. Ugly. Now I see the young trendies eschewing those in favor of baggy cargoes. And I think it’s great.

I love seeing young girls in baggy clothes that look stylish but don’t display their bodies. I just think it’s safer for them.

Too many assholes out there.

[snpsmom]

29. What young girls are wearing

has nothing to do with what some asshole out there chooses to do that might imperil their safety. Sorry, not sorry.

[Demobrat]

30. If only it were so.

[snpsmom]

31. It IS so

and insisting otherwise is victim blaming.

[Demobrat]

32. Have you ever been a young girl? I have.

Do you live in reality? I do.

[snpsmom]

33. Yes, and yes

Clearly we have very different outlooks. In spite of what I suspect might be very similar experiences.

[MuseRider]

15. The long, very wide legged pants?

God I hated those. I am short so I always wore heels (at 70 that will not be happening) and I remember those long, wide legs wrapping around the other leg and hanging you up. With heels it was almost impossible to stay standing when that happened. I do like longer pants even though I am short. Hmmmm. What torture fashion is next?

[Intractable]

20. I dislike the look of men's dress pants, if when seated, the bottom of the pants ride up to the knees.

[Figarosmom]

21. You mean palazzo pants?

Do real people bother with fads anymore?

[surrealAmerican]

23. Cool - now you can go barefoot.

Think of all the money you'll save on shoes!

[Aristus]

24. I clicked because I thought it was about women's pants falling to the floor.

My mistake.

Sorry...

[applegrove]

26. I like it. Meryle Streep was at the awards show last Sunday

and her pink on pink suit went right down to the ground. You couldn't see her shoes. Thought it was kind of fun. I wouldn't want to try and walk in pants that long and high heels myself.

[Voltaire2]

27. I'm desperately trying to care at all.

[Elessar Zappa]

28. I have no opinion on the matter.

Very easy to trip over the hems. Not a style that needs to come back!

[dai13sy]

35. I don't like that look either. It's not just you. It looks sloppy and by the time you get home your pants are filthy

[soldierant]

37. If I wore pants below the ankle

or even just to the ankle but they aren't fitted to the ankle, I would trip and fall. Of course I never wear splked heels, or any heel higher than about a quarter inch. and even that's pushing it. Leggings and KoziKicks for me. But you're not likely to see me as I almost never leave home.

[Different Drummer]

38. I wasn't aware that style had made a comeback until a few days ago.

On the NFL Network pregame show this past Sunday, Colleen Wolfe was wearing a pair of those pants.

[a kennedy]

40. Yah, yah, they're making a comeback.

39. Not Really Different Than Men's Pants

Dress slack for men have what the the "break". It is the spot at which the crease get deformed because the bottom of the pantleg hits the instep.
As I recall, the pants were supposed to hit so the break was 5 to 6 inches from the bottom.
This then makes the pants practically cover the whole shoe back, which is bad in slushy weather.
Everyone I knew used to fold the cuff up until they got inside to protect the pants from slush & salt.
But, the shoes still would show. At least from the front.
That's how everyone knew I wore snakeskin loafers with a suit.
