When Ann Taylor offered me a $100 to try out one of their new pants, I obviously couldn't turn it down! I am always on the hunt for the perfect pair with minimal to no alterations. I was pleasantly surprised that the waist and butt fit! I usually have take in the waist, slim the hips and mess with the butt area to make it look and fit right.

See Kelly wearing the slim knit pants in 00P, Jean in the city fit and Sydney's review on the slim knit pants in 0P. At first, I thought I had ordered the same pair as Kelly and Sydney, and then as I was writing this post, realized it's a totally different pair! I am such a nerd! :)

FIT/SIZE: Sits really low on your waist. Measures 13.5" across, inseam is 30". The butt and waist fits nicely and it's slim cut throughout the legs. Definitely elongates short legs:)  The only complaint is that they are way too long (about 1-2 inches for someone my height). It's a 30" inseam and I prefer 29" for this style of pants because I like them a little longer than my regular inseam of 28". I like the back welt pockets- makes it dressier. And the curtain waistband with belt loops is a nice detail.

MATERIAL/CARE: 68% Rayon, 28% nylon, 4% spandex. Dry clean only. I like the heavier and dressier material. Doesn't wrinkle so it's great for long days at the office or traveling.

PRICE: $98

VERDICT: Would recommend. It's a classic pair that is very versatile for work.

I also ordered the slim knit pants in graphite gray hoping they would be a great alternative to black pants but the material was too casual for my taste. I just realized my entire outfit is from Ann Taylor..hahahaha!

Readers- which pants have you tried from Ann Taylor?
