Banana Republic: Sleek Wide-Leg Gaucho Pant

Still on a quest to find wide-leg crops I like, I found some at Banana Republic. I ordered them during a 40% off promo and within a few days they had sold out online. Though they are still back-ordered online, they are now available in-stores. I didn’t have a chance to take pics of the ones I ordered before I left on my mini-vacation to San Diego but was able to find them in a store and try them on.

Sleek Wide-Leg Gaucho Pant, White, size 6 Regular~

My order was for the size 6 in both the black and white pants. I also had, several years ago, some pants just like these in black from White House Black Market. After holding on to them for a few years without the trend returning I gave them away. 
I ordered the size 6 Short based on my fit in the Sloan Pants. The size 6 Regular fit snug, and looked more so in the White than in the Black. These are not lined and you can clearly see the pockets. I would definitely need to Spanx these. 
  

Sleek Wide-Leg Gaucho Pant, Black, size 8 Regular ~

The size 8 fit a little better, especially across the hips but they still felt a little snug. The length was a little long on both the size 6 and size 8. I’m looking for a pair that will hit just above the start of my calf. Even the Short size, which I ordered, was still a little long. The material is a Cotton/Lyocell blend which includes Spandex. They feel a little like J Crew’s Cafe’ Capri’s but I think the Lyocell makes them a little more snug. 
  

I wish I could have kept these as they are the best ones I’ve found but with the fit issues they just weren’t meant to be.

    I'm so happy to see these reviewed. I keep wondering if I can pull this trend off. It's borderline for us, lol. The lines are really nice on these, though. Blk over white because of that pocket thing. Why can't they get that right.
