Oh, I also returned the BR wide leg jeans, but tried on their wide leg pants, which I liked much better. I didn’t buy them (no sale or promotion going on) but am keeping an eye out for a deal on them.
I did get a pair of high waisted flares in a mid wash at Gap for all of $40 to replace my ancient Gap bootcuts that are low rise and slowly getting worn out. I’m worried they are too short, but I was trying them on with a slight heeled bootie — I think they may be good with flats or chunky sneakers. Maybe they’re on trend with the new lengths, I dunno. *shrug*
The BR black wide leg trousers are definitely shorter in a regular length than what I have been wearing. I’m a little worried about buying short pants and then finding the trend dies out and I have too-short pants.
