I love JCrew, but it’s like the boyfriend who treats me badly (by taking all my money) and taunting me with things I cannot have. But I still bow before its alter whenever I can and after a trip to the outlet store last year, I developed a new JCrew crush, in the form of courderoy pants. And that love affair was just recently rekindled.
How much they cost: Currently $79.50
Where you can buy them: JCrew stores and JCrew.com
What I like about them: First, they are SUPER soft and comfortable. When you put them on, they fit like a glove without being uncomfortable (like freshly washed jeans can feel like). They are comfortable in the hips, butt and stomach. The colors are very diverse and flattering and they wear still really well after being washed (just remember to do it inside out!). They also run very true to size, which is great for me because I know what to grab when I go in. Wearing these with a tee and sweater or even a jacket is going to be great for fall!
What I don’t like about them: Being petite, I found that the “short” size is difficult to locate in stores and the regular length is kind of long so I’ll definitely need to get mine altered. But for how comfortable those pants are, I’d rather alter them than sacrifice them :)
I got a pair last year at the outlet store for $13 (no, I’m not kidding) and while I hate paying full price, I didn’t get to wear them enough and refuse to sacrifice a cool day without them :) And yes, I’ll likely get another pair once they do go on sale at the end of the season too!
Do you wear cords? Or what styles of cords usually look best on you?
I totally love your blog! Thank you for the post, very informative. wty1d8

Gap just came out with their line too. I might just have to snag a pair of both!
I might have to give these a shot, if I ever make it to a city with a JCrew. I tried on some cords at the GAP recently, and they weren’t so flattering. Perhaps JCrew is better?
I’ve never been able to fund cords I like. They just make me look fat I feel, but who knows? I’ll try a pair on next time I’m shopping just for you!
