In my opinion, nothing beats a pair of vintage sailor pants! I love em because they have an adjustable waist and if you get them pre-1970's, a nice wide, straight leg! You can still find them out there on Ebay and Etsy at a variety of prices. I found this WWII pair at an auction this past winter.

Oh my, these have inspired a massive amount of trouser envy in me! They are amazing and they look really good on you.

Hello,

I'm very new here to the forum, and very excited to find so much information.
This is my first post, but i thought i have to share this with you ladies!

I actually found some amazingly vintagy-looking clothes at our local army/navy surplus shop. I got myself a pair of navy uniform trousers. They look like slacks from the 30s to me! I haven't had time yet to look through the forum, so i'm not sure if this is news to you, but i nearly fell over when i found out that these uniforms actually meet the vintagey look quite well.

I try to take a picture soon to show you.

Have a nice day ladies!

Welcome, Edith! Good to have you along! I have a pair of wool army dress pants. They are not necessarily high-waisted, but once I tailored them in a bit, they fit like a dream and wear like iron! I practically live in them all winter. I'll have to look for navy slacks now!

Today I got a pair of the Stop Staring Allie's Jeans

Aside from the exorbitant customs charge I am very happy with them! Fine, lightweight denim and a really nice fit.

Obviously those are not pictures of me - they are from the Daddy-o's website and I have a suspicion that it is Bernie Dexter's bottom.

Nice jeans!
I have just ordered a pair of button side jeans from Freddie's of Pinewood, although I'm in-between sizes so I've had to take a guess at which will be the best fit... I'm on a diet until they arrive!

The other day I thought of how strange it is that most female celebrities I've decided to take a dislike to, wear styles similar to what I may wear. Such as Brigitte in this outfit, Ann-Margret and Sandra Dee have also been seen in styles I wear or would wear. I think I need to analyze this one on a deeper level.:eek: :eek:fftopic:

Some of these so called high waisted styles look normal waisted to me. I buy most of my pants in stores where grandmothers buy clothes because they also often suit petite lengths without the requirement of hemming.

I want a pair of those Stop Staring Allie's Jeans! They're the perfect balance between not too tight and modern and not so loose they're unflattering to my eyes. I just know that everyone will ask me to have them hemmed up because "that would elongate your legs".:rolleyes:
