So, here are the new Everlane corduroys, which seem to be sold out/on backorder in almost all colors and sizes except for a few sizes in the golden brown. They’re just okay. They fit me well, although I only ordered the size 8 because that was the only size left when I ordered them; I would have chosen the size 6 otherwise, since that “seems” to be my size lately. Turns out the size 8s are probably my size in these, except they aren’t cropped on me, as usual.
They’re boring though. In my opinion. On me, at least. This was my problem with their denim as well; it just didn’t look or feel very “modern” to me at all. I understand, classic, and all that, but I don’t really believe in classic, for me anyway. I don’t anticipate things lasting “forever” in my wardrobe, nor do I want them to. I want to buy and wear things I love, that are high quality, and that are interesting. And then I want to pass them on when I’m finished with them.
They’re comfortable though. The waistband is good, and they’re easy to sit in. I haven’t worn them enough to tell how much they’ll stretch, but I think they will give just enough, and still keep their shape. This bone color is not opaque (I’m wearing a nude-to-me Hanky Panky thong), so if you care about that sort of thing, I’d stick with wearing close to skin color underwear under these.
I like these pants, just not for me. I wanted to try them, though, since I’d been looking at light-colored pants/jeans after I sold my beloved Chimala pair a while ago. I thought maybe these pants would scratch that itch, but they don’t.
If anyone’s interested in these before I send them back or sell them on slowre, let me know!
In my opinion, these are the best fitting pair of pants I have seen on you in a while. Not implying I did not like the others, these are just my favorites. Maybe “modernize/jazz” them up with a cool shoe or top? I have found that a pair of large hoop earrings {Beyoncé earrings, as my children call them} and cool sunglasses are quite effective in turning a boring outfit into a sassy one! I personally am also a fan of a classic trouser with a sexy top, but that’s me doing me and I appreciate you continuing to do you!
I agree with the above! These look better on you (Gretchen) than they do on the model on Everlane’s website, who is probably wearing her “usual” size – she looks squeezed in like a sausage. The fit you have is much more flattering.
Agree with the above comments. I find them modern and stylish and the fit s very flattering on you.
Keep them. You look great! As others have noted, these are the best fitting pants you’ve shown in a whil.
I just looked at the model wearing them, and I never would have ordered them given the choice of styling/fit. Seeing them on you, I definitely would give them a try!
