It's that time again, to take a look at an image of J.Crew pieces from seasons past! As caribbelle (in this post) so beautifully termed, "ye olde j crew of yore".This post features the Favorite Fit Checked University Pant from 2007 with a trouser leg that is sure to make anyone look longer and leaner. The buttons on the side are a nice touch!
What are your thoughts on the look(s)/item(s) from the past? Do you find the look(s)/item(s) classic or do you think they are dated?
I'm just falling in love with wider leg, palazzo style pants. Was the University pant anything like the Hutton?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the University pant and am always on the lookout for them in my size on Ebay. So far have picked up 3 pair! They drape beautifully and the button detailing at the waist is nice when tucking in shirts.
ReplyDeleteI loved these pants and I wore them, it seems like, about once a week. Wide legs don't usually look good on 5'4" me, but these worked. Then last year, I tried them on during a giant closet purge and something about them seemed sort of dated--couldn't put my finger on it. I put them in the Goodwill bag and have regretted it ever since.
ReplyDeleteLove these. I missed them in 2007. Were they wool? Lined?
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine K - yeah, these are wool AND lined.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of these and the Academy pant from 2008 and they are really nice. Unfortunately, the Favorite Fit doesn't really work for me so I don't wear them often but just like to look at them from time to time as a reminder of those "JC days of yore"!
Yes. I have these and wear them still. LOVE that the wool is high quality and the lining is wonderful too. To me they are a classic esp. being 5'10". Love the favorite fit pants as well. High waisted may be in but I will NEVER wear them again. Cannot stand anything right at my waist.
ReplyDeleteI have those pants and still wear them...always get compliments...they look fab on the bum.
ReplyDeleteYes, have several of these and love them. Even the crazy yellow ones :)
ReplyDeleteI have several pairs of these pants but I think they look dated. Personally, I probably wouldn't wear them as is. The fabric is very nice, though, so I don't want to throw them out. I already removed the cuffs to update them a couple years ago; now I'm thinking about taking in the legs.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple pairs of these in wool (houndstooth and solid blue) and one in navy linen/cotton. They make my legs look a mile long and always garner many compliments. The style is a bit dated since skinnies became the thing but I like that it's a departure from the expected. I wear them with a slim-fitting top and platform shoes that give them a nice break just above the cuff. I feel like I'm Katherine Hepburn or Diane Keaton wearing these pants.
ReplyDeleteAnyone notice that this model has a "healthy" figure and does not have stick thin legs?
ReplyDeleteNot my auction, but these pants are currently on eBay (size 2) with a BIN of $28! Item #270956283539
