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.
