DOWNTOWN PANT DEEP CHARCOAL

Perfect Work Pant

These pants haven’t disappointed. True to size I feel, I can fluctuate between 16 and 14 and these fit great. Amazing colour.

Versatile, comfy, but with a little tweaking!

Firstly, I want to say I love the idea of the downtowns, but the sizing has been tricky for me. These pants definitely have that super relaxed, oversized vibe, especially around the crotch, which felt quite baggy on me and made the fit a bit bulky overall. I also had to take them up by at least 12cm because they were too long (I’m about 5’0"), so unless you’re tall or prefer that extra length, you’ll probably need to get them hemmed. Something I noticed with the sizing is that the jump from a 12 to a 14 is pretty noticeable. The size 12 felt quite tight on my waist, but the pants looked a bit nicer and more structured everywhere else. The 14 was much more comfortable around the waist, but the fit was looser all over, especially in the front and back, where it gave a bit of a pouchy look that I wasn’t loving. So it feels like there’s a bit of an awkward in-between when it comes to sizing. On the plus side, the fabric feels luxe and comfy, and they feel nice on. The colour is a little lighter in person than it looks in the photos, but still really lovely to dress up or down. I’m still not sure if they suit me, but I do think they look amazing on the models.. maybe better suited to someone taller. Overall they’re super comfy and have a lot of potential, but be prepared for some tweaking to get the right fit ☺️

When everyone tells you that you need these pants for work (corporate/office) take their advice!!! I am normally a strict skirts/dress girl for work as I struggle to find corporate attire pants that are comfortable - but these are divine. Although a tad long, for me they work fine when I wear with a boot/heel, or you could take them in and have some length taken off. Perfect paired with Nola or Savannah top (I have tried both) and a belt - you are good to go! I did have to size up in comparison to my normal pants size, luckily when I first purchased these I tried in store.
