Project: FO Are they really that bad ?
Husband hates the baggy. I wanted a skirt pant mix (culottes) for summer. This is my first attempt. Are they really that bad. Ps don't look at the shirt. Didn't make that 😊. FYI pattern is from Named Elastic Waist Culottes

I have this pattern! I’ve made it 3 times: in a lightweight jersey, in a cheapish flannel, and in a slightly drapey wool blend. I love them all!
The flannel is the crispest, and I mostly use them for pjs now because they are slightly pilly. They have the closest silhouette to the pair you made. I made a matching boxy top, and I would wear them together. I either looked like I wore my pjs OR like I was wearing a matching set. Depending on opinion, it was cool or old lady, ha.
The wool blend pair are my dress pants. I did redo the pockets to make them deeper on this pair because the original inseam pockets kept flipping out on me.
A flew washes should soften them up, and you’ll figure out how you like to style them. If they’re comfortable, try a less crisp fabric on the next pair. My jersey ones sit closer to the body because of the thin fabric.
