To finish out the week I have one last set from J Crew, the very popular Patio Pants.
~ Patio Pant, Cabernet, size 8 ~
I reviewed the Patio Pant in the Navy in a size 6 and was able to find a size 8 during my last visit in the Cabernet to compare. The length it longer but still a little off when wearing them with heels. I would like for them to be about a half inch longer to look a little better with the heel. They are a cropped pant so I expected this. The fit is not as snug/form-fitted as the size 6 but there is a little bunching in the front.
With “flats” the length is perfect though I did have a defective pair of pants on. The right leg is slightly shorter than the left so I don’t know which length is correct. You can tell by the break in the pant on the left side.
This color looked really good with my Collection Heart Dot blouse.
~ Petite Patio Pant in Bi-Stretch Wool, Blue Stone, size 8P ~
I ordered the Blue Stone in 8 Petite to compare length and fit, which I expected to be similar to the regular size 6. The length is just where I would like it, hitting just above the ankle bone. The fit is snug, just like the size 6.
The Footless Capri Spanx will smooth things out a little more and hide those VPLs. It seems colors are limited between the Regular and the Petite sizes in Bi-Stretch Wool. The Blue Stone is beautiful IRL. It looks a little Chambray in color which I’m hoping will make it versatile enough to dress down.
Here is a closer look at the color.
I’m so very happy with the 8 Petite size. If I wanted a true trouser I would probably buy the 6 Tall. After receiving these I ordered them in the Leather Tux Stripe in an 8 Petite as well. I’ll share some IRLs when they come in.
What do you think of the Patio Pant in Bi-Stretch Wool?
