I like wide-leg pants because they give me room to breathe, and I can get my size 12 feet through the hem! But seriously, being tall, I need to wear clothing that does not make me look taller than I actually am. I am tall with a 33-34 inch inseam.

I don't like them when the fabric is thick or stiff because then they feel cumbersome and make me look heavy. This is why I have never bought any wide leg jeans.

This cut is great if you've got saddlebags, but a shapely waist. As mentioned in previous comments, a nicely fitted top can offset the volume on the bottom. I adore this style of pant, and admit to owning more than my fair share of pairs. Whoo, say THAT five times fast ... Gotta jump on the pear-shaped, wide-leg-lovin’ bandwagon.

Hooray for wide pants. I also say bring on the higher waisted pants--so nice to be able to bend over or squat and not have to worry about over exposure. Frankly, I'm tired of seeing others thongs and underwear too. I’m a 5′8″ pear–like several other pears I appreciate the fact that wide pants help hide the bulges. Hooray for wide pants.

I'm 5'4", and unsure of my body type, but I'm a size 0 everywhere. I wear them with a fitted top and heel when I want to dress up, or my converse when I wanto to dress down. I cuff up the bottoms of my pants when not wearing them with a heel. I love my pair of wide-legged pants!

They seem to be less exaggerated and more streamlined. I like those wide legs on the models, but I still feel they would look schlumpy on most women. The fact that they require a heel is even more annoying, and makes them even less versatile. Oh well, I don't regret missing out on this trend.

When I was in high school in the early '70's we wore sailor jeans, demin real sailor pants with the patch pockets. I thought they were flattering to the figure and don't remember ever having trouble walking in them, but we wore flat sandals all the time.

That's so cool! I like this look too on the right person. What I like about it is that it can look like "men's wear" or like you're wearing men's trousers...and the juxtaposition of that masculinity with the feminine heels looks interesting to me. Having said that, since heels and platforms and I don't really get along, even though I could look miles taller in this look, I don't wear it. The denim wide legs I have are flat length, but I walk too much in the city for them to be very practical for me, so like you, mine are a bit orphanned too..have a great trip, Angie!
