do you think flare leg ?

by erin01

i ordered some scrubs. I love how soft they are but the pants i ordered are flare with a slit on the ankle. Is this not proper? I am starting a new job next week and want to look professional! Should i return them?

I have flare leg pants with a slit. As long as the slit's not all the way up your leg or something - and I've never seen one that is - you should be fine.

The vast majority of the women (myself included) where I work wear flare legged pants. I like them b/c they fall over my shoes without bunching up and drawing attention to how short and stubby my legs are.

That's what most of us wear, too. The Cherokee brand tends to be a bit baggy; you might end up a size smaller than you think you need. They look cute on, though .

I see flare legs w/slits all the time at work.

A style I haven't seen take off is the capri scrub pants. I seen them in the catalogs, but have yet to see anyone wear them. Wonder what kind of shoes/socks you'd wear with them anyway??

I love the flare leg with the slit. They cover a good portion of my shoes... this helps cause if pants don't I always feel like I look like I have big feet. It's not seen as unprofessional as long as they fit properly. Don't buy them if they are to baggy or to long for you.

Saw these in a catalog the other day.
Seriously?? Do they even consult nurses before they design these things??
Seems like their target demographic would be very limited.

My hospital issues the uniforms with the option of flare legs. I chose the flares only because the straight leg ones are incredibly large fitting and don't have a cargo pocket. I think the flare legs look a little dumb but they are acceptable.

I wore bell bottoms back in the 1970s so I associate them with immaturity. But the flares fit the best for me.

Once I discovered flare leg scrub pants, I will never wear anything else! I think they fit better and they look better with shoes.
