    I was so glad these pants went out of style after their popularity in the 80's. Being pear shaped, it was always a challenge styling these without accentuating my lower half. Now that they're back, I'm not touching them!

      I’m very thin and I would never wear them either! To me, they are just not flattering on the body, no matter your weight or shape. They make the hips look huge! Who wants bigger hips than we’ve already got!

    I wore these pants in the Eighties and I'm five foot two. I bought the ones with the Zip in the back which is more forgiving especially if there's a bit of elastic in the back. I wore heels or low platforms with them.
    A bodysuit shirt is great underneath to get the smooth outline.

    Abercrombie has great wide leg pleated pants! They also have regular, short and tall lengths. I have some from a couple years ago with elastic at the back. Soo comfy, but cute! They seem really popular and go out of stock a lot, but they restock all the time. I totally agree that dressing them down is key!

    Yes! Wear what you like and what feels good! I love the oversized outfit with that gorgeous blazer!!! Sure, the pleats may enhance my size 14 tummy, but who cares? Model-like perfection is absurdly unattainable, so why bother trying to perpetuate it?! . If I like it I’ll wear it. If it’s tailored, neat, clean and reminiscent of my youth, even more fun!!! Love it!

I got a linen/cotton pair from Gap that seems to work, but I had to size up because the waist was too tight. Also, thanks for sharing Lydia Tomlinson’s video! She’s my other favorite and does a good job styling the effortlessly chic style.

      Everything looks good on Lydia. She’s young, tall, thin, and perfectly fit. I watch Erin because she gives me hope that clothes *might* look good on me at my height and my age. And understands that I might not want to show my cellulite and bat wings. Watching Lydia used to depress me! lol I’m so glad I found Erin to watch instead ❤️

    It goes to show how effective you are with your styling because I vowed I would NEVER wear pleated trousers again. I wore them during the 90's and I never felt super confident in them and I would cringe whenever I look at old photos LOL. Well, I might give it another go with your suggestions. Thanks so much for putting in the time, effort and sweat, Erin, to help your adoring audience!!!

    One of my go-to looks is long, wide-leg trousers, flat-front or pleated. I think if you choose pleats, how the pleats are tailored REALLY matters, i.e. look for quality. I also find a higher- neck tank adds length and coverage, if that is desired. I'm tall with 32 inch inseam, so for my body way and style, I find them incredibly versatile: wear with a tank, camisole, t-shirt, crop sweater, romantic blouse, super-tailored shirt, waist coat or blazer. That said, I get how these are maybe not everyone's cup of tea. I loved your honesty and sense of humour in this one, Erin :)

    I am actually loving the wide leg high waist trouser look. It actually helps show off my waist which I have been working hard for . I have wide hips so it helps balance me out . Plus I love wearing them w my platform converse or Mules - feeling so fashionable . I have bought a couple of the pleated variety from banana republic - at first I was skeptical of the pleats but depending on which ones I can make it work . I do think something fitted on top is key . Since BR carries petite sizes- I think that is a good place for some ladies to look .

    I’m 5’ tall and a size 12. I just love the pleated pants look. I found some paper bag tailored pleated trousers at Target that I didn’t have to Alter. I get so many compliments when I wear them. The trick I found is to wear a long cardigan that’s the same color as the pants. With a very fitted top, tucked, just as you mentioned. And it looks amazing. Otherwise I look like a cute round potato 😬🤣🤣🤣

    As a petite pear shaped woman who was in her 20’s in the 80’s when dress pants for women were modeled after men’s (men’s dress pants always were pleated at that time), I was thrilled when they finally went out of style! So, this is a hard no for me! Give me a more fitted silhouette every time. But you rocked them!

    I have a silk-like material pair of pleated trousers I got from H&M. I am 5’10’ and always liked these when I was young and slimmer. Now it takes getting used to these all over again. This video got me thinking about what tops and jackets to wear with them. I actually have a cropped blazer in black and some cropped dress tops that would work for this look. Thanks for brain storming these looks with pleated trousers. I think my favorite look you showed was the pleated trousers with the tank top.

    Banana Republic has the loose fitting pleated trousers in petite. I also read that if the pleats fold inward, toward the midsection they are more flattering than if the pleats fold outward. So look for pleats that fold inward. :)

I can imagine myself in the blazer/ pants combo standing permanently with my hands in my pockets so everyone can see I have a waist!🤣🤣 Maybe we all need to watch Annie Hall again to see how the experts did it back in the day! 🙃 Keep up the great work; YOU ROCK!

    I fan girl whenever you have a new video. As someone who has always had a tummy, I was elated when these went away and dismayed when they Walking Deaded back into our lives. Even at 5'8" these do me no favors, but I will try them with the cropped blazers (which have changed my wardrobe, thanks to you). Great video, as usual.

    I watched this with great interest because I just purchased a pair of wide leg pants and I’m only 5’1” tall. Thought I couldn’t do it (I’m 68 and didn’t want to repeat the 80s again!) but I feel really good in them. I did have to hem them about an inch and I’ll only be wearing them with white trainers. I must add that they are NOT pleated (a better option for me because I’m pear-shaped) and they are a soft linen to deal with the heat we’re having. I always wear dark at the bottom so they are black and my tops are always light. I did get a couple of linen tops that are gently fitted just above the waist - I think they look great and with some jewelry, quite presentable. I honestly didn’t think I could wear wide-leg but I guess the moral of the story for me was try something new and you might be surprised. I love all your videos and your honest approach to fashion and really practical tips are much appreciated! 🇨🇦

    I’ll add one more “top” idea but I’ll admit it may be tough to find! I have a spaghetti strap draped (like a mini cowl) neckline bodysuit that somehow magically works with any of my trousers or skirts beautifully. It’s obviously automatically “tucked in” and body skimming, doesn’t create any added bulk (in fact it kinda tucks my belly IN a bit!) and looks so chic and flattering. I’ve worn it alone and under a cute cropped jacket or blazer and it never fails me. I have a pair of paper bag waist wide leg linen pants I bought in Paris a few years ago and as scared as I was to style them, they looked perfect with that unicorn of a bodysuit! Good luck with this trend, ladies! Do what works for your body and style and rock it!

      I am the same height and thin. I agree100% with you. Lots of shorter people think bc you are tall you can wear anything. That is definitely not true. Extra fabric/loose clothes tends to make us just look sloppy bc there is just a ton of extra fabric. Not complaining at all about my height, but it isn’t the solution to fashion challenges.

    LOVE this Erin!!! I purchased some trousers from Ashley Stewart in black, navy and white. I had three of them tailored into shorts to wear as a short suit and I purchased these for trousers. I highly recommend these if you are petite and curvy. The pleated, belt loop details are elasticized and they don't look like it. Definitely will skim over the tummy and define the waist. They also have tall, regular leg lengths. Thanks Erin for sharing your styling tips!!! 👑💯💜💐🌞
