I'm a Pants Slut!

The waist sizes are the same across both styles - the hips/bum/thigh is what differs.

So if you're more of a lean/rectangle shape with similar proportions across your waist and hips, or an apple shape that carries a bit more weight in your tummy with a narrower thigh - then the Mila is the new style to suit that body shape.

I found that while the Zali was a great fitting pant, some women were still having excess material in the thigh/hip/crotch - so, decided to fix that!

Usually women with those body shape have to size up so the waist band fits their stomachs but are usually left with baggy legs - which is annoying!

Based on how the Zali in US6 and US8 fit me, I have a feeling that the Mila Short is going to be perfect!

I got two pairs in two sizes knowing that my daughter probably needed the US8. She's quite happy with her pants . . . in black of course.

Figured out the best size and ordered a Mila Short. Went for Aqua. :-)

Turns out that Nobody's Princess not only addressed the length for my short legs, also improved the closure. From an email today: "Our front closure system has now been upgraded to have a double hook, as well as stronger pop studs, and a heavy duty zipper." Since I wanted a slimmer fit in the hips for the original Zali design, I was at the max for the waist and needed to use a belt (great belt loops) to keep both pop studs closed.

The size range is impressive:

"AU6/US2 to AU24/US20
Short, Regular and Tall

You asked, we delivered. Our range has expanded, and is now available from an AU6 through to and AU24 (US2 to US20). Each size is also available in a Short (27" inseam), Regular (32" inseam), and Tall (37" inseam) leg length. No matter your height and size combination - we can cater to you."

Fun options at Sierra last week in Framingham MA

I would have loved the North Face bright pink rainbow geometric ones but they didn't have any in my size. To anyone looking for fun in extended sizes they were 2x and 3x.

Our closest Sierra has zero technical gear. Enjoy!

I was there two days ago. I thought the floral Bogner/ Loveshack fancy bibs were cute, but none in my size. Not that I need more ski pants. Why was I in Sierra again?

Not sure what your size is, but they have both 4 and 6 online

Jealous! My Sierra never seems to have plus size gear.

Jealous! My Sierra never seems to have plus size gear.

I'm always surprised when stores have anything in XL, downright shocked when there's 2X or larger. And there's almost never anything other than bland or blah or black in extended sizes. That's why I mentioned the bright fun finds specifically.

Saw a few young men wearing this style. Rather strange.

I thought the whole baggie pants thing was over!

@VickiK as the parent of a 13-year-old whose favorite daily wear pants are the below, I find your observation totally believable!! (they are much wider on my teen than they seem in the stick photo...)

 

[mustski]

Yup. The baggy pants look is back for the kiddos. It was the natural response to skinny jeans. The pendulum swung! MC Hammer would be so proud!

And they will ask who is that? You just aged us lol.......

OK, SH and others have displayed their lust for ski jackets....and while I completely empathize, I've found a great longing for ski pants. I've been able to purchase 5 apirs of ski pants that match with one jacket.

Here we go...in one photo, from left to right:
Rip Curl, Patagonia, Oakley, Mountain Hardware, DNA.

Anyone else have a penchant for ski pants???

This is a funny thread from 2009 and here we are in 2024. Everyone: check out Obermeyer’s Bliss pant. Lotsa cool colors + short and long lengths in addition to “regular”. I’ working on a dozen pairs….er….perhaps because I’ve needed different sizes??

I saw several young men wearing this style at Snowbasin last week - skiing fast so the pants flop around in the wind. Maybe Harry Styles wanna be’s

Saw a lot of those pantaloons this week, @VickiK . A mix of skiers and snowboarders, but ALL under 30.

 

[VickiK]

Pantaloons! Such a great word. I would've dated myself in calling them MC Hammer pants.
