or shall we say KAKKI

Since they reduced the lycra in the slim crops, these are my new fave smart casual trouser. Sadly short stocked now

Yes I have the navy and they are perfect.

chanie44 · 27/06/2015 19:33

Thanks for the tip.

I've had my eye on these since last year. How do these size?

tyto · 27/06/2015 19:48

None left in my size.

GaryBaldy · 27/06/2015 19:54

They look lovely on other people, but I just can't do it.

Having always been tall for my age growing up, on me they will always be, what the DCs term ankle bashers. I need to get over myself.

Gap trew lovers - do you have skinny thighs and not much difference between waist and hips?
I'm a 12 but have a 10" waist/hip difference and definitely do not have skinny upper thighs!
Love those but fear they would Not Work on me. Confused

TheBreeze · 27/06/2015 20:08

The broken in straight khakis are not so slim of thigh nor are the tailored crops. They are quite flattering as the cotton is a reasonable quality.

Siolence · 27/06/2015 20:27

Thank you TheBreeze I'll check them out.

TheBreeze · 27/06/2015 20:32

If you look on the American gap website there are loads of reviews, something sadly missing on the UK one.

Siolence · 27/06/2015 20:35

That's a great tip. Thank you.

I am size 10 in most shops. I have to get an 8 in these and I still use a belt to keep them in place! I have skinny legs but wide thighs and these are a good fit. I am 5ft 7 and buy a tall but I could get away with a regular. I roll them up anyway.

Siolence · 27/06/2015 22:26

Mine are slim till the last 4"!
Sadly this seems to be pita for skinny trousers. Gah. I might have to do the hell of in store trying on.

TealFanClub · 27/06/2015 22:27

i am 5 7 - with long legs

they are supposed to be cropped....

TealFanClub · 27/06/2015 22:28

they don;t bag much, which I like and i like the belt hoops too

OP posts:
Siolence · 27/06/2015 22:52

I do like belt loops. Yyy to above ankle I was thinking regular am pretty much the same height with long legs.

TheBreeze · 27/06/2015 23:51

I do like the skimmer ones but as I am 5'10" that length looks like I can't get my trousers long enough, I either have to have definite crops or proper length trousers. All the GAP trousers I've had have washed well though and I'm alway a 12 where I am a 14 really. A bit like Next sizing.

TealFanClub · 28/06/2015 08:19

Depends on your inside leg I suppose. I was surprised the crop was 7/8 on these and I'm a 31" leg

Just bought a pair in navy. I like a nice pair of ankle skimming trousers.

TealFanClub · 29/06/2015 12:37

Online ?

OP posts:
mewkins · 29/06/2015 18:00

I am a 32ins leg and have the tall ones. I roll them up 3 times in order to make them just above ankle length (sorry for specifics, thought it may help gauge length).
