Today’s promo at J Crew is TUESDAY and you can take 40% off select styles as well as sale items. Unfortunately, none of the pants below are included in this promo. Cashmere sweaters are included (huh?!) and women’s swim is excluded but not men’s/girls/boys. This promo makes no sense except that the off-the-shoulder Ratti Dress is included along with the Chambray shirtdress.
~ Rory Pant, Navy, size 6 ~
~ Rory Pant, Fern, size 8 ~
I mentioned in Monday’s post how I did not like these pants. They bunch just below the waist, in the back. You can see it somewhat in the image below and it’s very noticeable in the size 8 in Fern. These are pull-on pant with a little give in the waist. The tie at the waist is not removable and would probably look best tied at the side. The size 8 was still decently cropped on me, with an inseam at 20-inches, but I wasn’t a fan of how the wide-leg draped. The material is a cotton poplin and machine washable.
~ Cropped Wide-Leg Pant in Heavy Linen, French Blue, size 8 ~
I was excited to try these pants as the color looked gorgeous online and a heavier weight linen would be good for work. They also went with my new #shinyponies. The size 8 was a great fit. The front has pleats and the back is elastic. They were full-length on me and I like how the wide-leg draped. They were lined in cotton in the same color as the pant. The french blue color took on a shade of purple IRL. Of course, they got super wrinkled but they are linen. Though I really liked them, I ended up returning these as I didn’t see myself wearing them as much as linen shorts.
~ Gazebo Pant, White, size 8 ~
I’ve tried these on in the 8 & 8 Petite in navy and vintage kelly. I really wanted these in white and my store finally received another shipment with the size 8. These are a little longer than I want them to be but they fit well. The white is lined but still seems a little see-through. I ended up buying these in the size 8 since the Petite size has been sold out for a while in this color.
The Rory Pants were a dud but the Linen Pants were a hit. The Gazebo Pant should be a permanent staple for J. Crew. I hope this comes out in the Fall/Winter in wool
