Hmmm.

I have a smaller waist and wide hips, and the 6 fit snug in the waist, and roomy in the hips and leg. I think this style would be good for those of us with wider hips so they don't look too saggy. Let us know if you take the plunge! Agree, final sale is so tricky... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151331 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 13:40:50 +0000 LaPed 2151331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I can't wait to see photos! They sound spectacular.</p> <p>Would you say they are true to size? I keep looking at them... final sale scares me, but lined wool trousers are so hard to find. I wonder if I shouldn't wait and see if they release different colours next year, but I do have a lot of burgundy, rust and mustard that would look great with heathered lilac... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151327 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 13:36:37 +0000 RobinF 2151327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice purchases. I love the purple but my body type is the total opposite of who these would suit. Can't wait to see them on you. The wool jackets are cute too, they don't look like they would be swingy, interesting.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151319 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 13:16:07 +0000 Lynne 2151319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!

It has a lovely pale pink stripe running through it, which may be right up your alley! They are a different fabric composition though so you’d have to try them to make sure they have enough structure... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151210 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 19:44:24 +0000 Liesbeth 2151210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm curious for the pics too! I tried some balloon pants by Uniqlo earlier this year which looked surprisingly flattering, but none of the colors worked for me. And they already seem to be out of their range now which is fast for Uniqlo... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151208 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 19:26:15 +0000 Angie 2151208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Roxanna</b>, it's always nice to be thought of :)</p> <p>LOOK! They come in a check too! Maybe I will try those. Deny that the black is black. Think of it as blue....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151175 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 15:36:41 +0000 nemosmom 2151175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great review, Roxana! And, helpful to know JCrew is putting out some quality pieces these days.&nbsp; Add me to the list of eager awaiters for your purple suit try-on pics I bet the color of it combined with your earthtones is simply gorgeous... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151174 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 15:35:49 +0000 Roxanna 2151174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww thanks so much all! I’m also looking forward to wearing out and remixing the separates with older pieces. I’ll likely thrown in a good dose of earth tones to keep it from looking too ‘J Crew’ if you know what I mean.</p> <p>I was thinking of wearing the pants with my lilac suede gazelles but the round toe with the wide pants on my small frame looks clownish to my eye. I’ll likely add heels or polished brogues to give it some structure. </p> <p>Bijou, Angie - both your comments were so sweet! I can see you both in the cardigan. Angie, the blush is a vivid chartreuse on the other side, and when worn inside out, the blush details really compliment it. Made me think of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151141 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 10:07:46 +0000 rachylou 2151141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can’t wait to see </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151140 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 10:04:07 +0000 Bijou 2151140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a girl that wore purple Docs - this is just a perfect suit for you. So pleased to hear that JCrew have stepped up their quality, hopefully they can ride out the economic downturn. I am very tempted by those cardigans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151139 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 10:00:09 +0000 Jessikams 2151139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve gotten tired of the wide crops because they can be a bit bossy about what shoe will look good. Lantern or tapered pants seem to work with more types of shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151138 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 09:46:01 +0000 Jessikams 2151138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES I ordered those pants too, they look so amazing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151131 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 08:25:59 +0000 Jane 2151131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the line waiting for pictures too!

I'm trying to add more of this kind of element to my own wardrobe, practical but with some sparkle.</p> <p>Will you be wearing the pants with boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151062 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 23:04:19 +0000 Anonymous 2151062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am dying to see this suit on you . It is way outside my zone in every aspect but I appreciate the artistic vibe can see how you’d love it . I used to love J Crew but I gave up in recent years . How can you wear anything from an XS to a 12 in one brand ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151060 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 23:00:57 +0000 Roxanna 2151060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much all!<br /> UmmLila - same with me. I was a devotee during the Jenna Lyons era but hadn’t found anything worth the exorbitant Canadian prices there in a while.</p> <p>Elle, unfrumped - I’ll try to get dressed up one of these days and unfrumped - I agree, I think they are better on petites. The short length looks almost comical on the model IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151050 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 20:07:12 +0000 unfrumped 2151050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun review!</p> <p>I was intrigued by these , but they were on final sale in the purple. I thought about ordering the black &amp; white, for sizing and in case the plaid looked more versatile- though the fabrication is different and so maybe lose much of its appeal. But I let that ship sail.<br /> For me they may be seasonally confused as a cropped pant, and also my wardrobe phase may be beyond adding more winter dry - cleanable- imaginary lifestyle.<br /> I’m glad you got the jacket. I actually think that may make a really useful look—intentional polished purple !<br /> Do show pics if you are up for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151045 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 19:33:25 +0000 Elle 2151045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a helpful review!&nbsp; Thank you for all the detailed information. I've also been eyeing those pants but, alas, I doubt they will work on my body.&nbsp; I would love to see them on you - I'll bet they look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151044 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 19:24:33 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2151044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are wonderful pieces, especially the lantern pants and that olive jacket. I’ve been off j crew for a while myself, though they used to be a mainstay for me. Look forward to seeing your photo shoot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-back-on-the-purple-tweed-j-crew-pants#post-2151041 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 18:27:46 +0000 Roxanna 2151041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie’s top pick Herringbone lantern pants just arrived and they are *fabulous* quality. Fully lined (so rare for retail these days!) and the cut is unusual but right on the mark - fitted and high waisted, wide through seat and hip, wide legged coming in to a light taper at the ankle (like lantern pants.) the tweed keeps the structure so that they are not baggy or saggy. They are a unique cut that seem avant- garde enough to be timeless. But they are wide and purple - They certainly Make a statement and may feel clownish to some.</p> <p> The tweed is a perfect heathered purple in herringbone, a great weight And drape (from a Scottish Mill J Crew collaborated with.) Based On The reviews, I even got the matching blazer and I think they are great together - an unusual and high quality suit that looks and feels designer. It’s atrue unicorn - THANK YOU Angie for finding these, they are absolutely perfect for my body type and I never would have found them without you!</p> <p>Great for curvy/pear shaped petites with a defined waist. Waist hits quite high so you have to be ok with that.</p> <p>Also - wanted to highlight this J Crew cardigan. It is more like a fall jacket in stiff double faced wool - the quality and seaming is so impeccable that it can be worn inside out (which I often do to show off the alternate color.) it is supposed to be a swingy oversized fit, so size down if you don’t want that. This also feels designer in my opinion, and that’s high praise coming from me considering I Nearly swore off all J Crew because I was tired of overpaying for mediocre quality. </p> <p>Will show pics soon! </p>
