J Crew Collection track pant in cove floral, 00

Pros: silk, so the print and it's colours stand out beautifully; love the piping on the side, very neatly done; pockets; very wearable cut and easy material. Very neat elasticated waistband and crotch (sorry!) - I could tuck my shirt in without feeling self conscious or thinking it obscene.

Cons: dry clean only; on the long side (thought the website says it's a 26.5" inseam).

Sizing: TTS

Verdict: this is a new silhouette, especially bc I prefer a tailored look to a studied casual one. If you've tried on and loved the cotton pants in cove floral, there's really little gain over those here. I guess it just depends on whether you want to pay a premium for the silk and the collection label.  I do like these better myself and may keep them. Note that the pants are unlined.

Colours; beautiful sheen




Thoughts?

  1. Hi, I've been considering these pants, do you feel the wool in them or does it feel mostly like silk? Thanks!
