Armani Exchange check skinnies are here

So I ordered these pants a week or so ago.

They got here today. Here are some pics; sorry they came out dark so it might be hard to see:

Do you think they fit ok? I like the rise (high!) and they are comfy, but they are a little baggy on me, especially in the rear and thigh areas. I got a size 6 (normally I am size 6, but sometimes 4). Also, I have the hems folded under.

Thanks for any input!

The pants are gorgeous Cathy! I don't think they look overly baggy at all. Curious to hear what the other ladies think.

I don't think they look baggy at all. Can you try a size down just to make sure?

(Also, did you cut your hair?)

I don't think they look too big at the moment, do you think after a days wear they will become too baggy? I do love the trousers, are they still available in the 4?

They look great! I don't think they are too baggy, the side view seems to fit well. It might be hard to tell from the pictures. Does the fabric have a lot of stretch? I never tried any of their stuff, so I have no idea of the sizing, sorry!

It's fun to see these on you! I think they look better on you than me. Mine arrived last week and are going back. They fit, but I don't like how they look on my dupa

I too felt like I might need to size down. For sure they felt more like straight legs than skinnies. Do you think you want to try a size smaller?

Mine arrived as well and they do fit tighter, like real skinnies ( I'll try posting a photo soon), so maybe you should order a size down too and compare before returning them. I do like how they look on you tough.

I must have missed something, where does the d* word come from? It is almost exactly the same as in my language

Thanks for the feedback, ladies! And glad to hear from my AX pant cohorts.

The pants are 98% cotton and 2% spandex so they do have stretch. To Tanya's point, I was expecting them to be a bit tighter, like my denim skinnies are. I think I might want something a bit tighter, but I'm afraid a whole size down would be too tight! Maybe I'll just order them in 4 and see how it goes.

Laura -- to me, they felt like loose skinnies. Then again, I don't have any straight-legged pants so perhaps that's how they fit I'm sorry yours didn't work out for you. The d* word is Polish, right?

ETA: I just reread the description of these pants. AX claims they are low rise -- I measured and they are 8.75"! Also, the pants are described as having a slight flare at the hem, which would make the more straight leggy.

Oh, and Maya -- yes, I did cut my hair Made a brief mention on Hanna's thread, because my cut is very similar to hers!

Cathy, I think yours look great and you say they feel comfy! Sounds like its a keeper.

I got mine yesterday and I hope to post photos this weekend.

Mine fit tighter like Tanya described. I don't think a larger size would fit me though so we'll see if I keep them. I was hoping to wear them to work but they might not be appropriate? I'll have to check in with you all.

Oooh, neat! Cathy, I like them on you as is. They're gorgeous. I'm tempted to snap up a pair myself to see if they work since they still have my size in stock, but just ordered a pair of boots so I'm holding out on any more purchases until they arrive.

Oh Tanya, I picked up "dupa" from Kristen! She says it's Polish.

You all have inspired me not to give up on these -- I'm going to size down and see if they still fit. I want them to feel like skinnies and not straight legs.

Cool, laura65! Let us know how it works out.

I think I am going to keep the size 6, because they fit really well in midsection. From experience, I know if I go down in size, they will fit well in the rear and thigh but be too tight around the waist!

Are these checked pants on sale now? They look very nice for the upcoming season. I would love to see how they tuck into boots.

Edit: Aw yes I see that they are on sale. I love the texture the checks add.

Look great!!! They look more like straight legs than skinnies which is maybe why they feel baggy??
