Kut plaid pants

Are there a couple of styles of these pants, or are my legs just really thick? I’ve been seeing people post them and they look like straights on the leg, but mine arrived (tried the 8 and the 10, the 10 arrived and sadly for my ego they fit), and the fit is quite skinny. Don’t get me wrong, I like them, just wondering. One thing that makes me wonder is that mine are labeled “Donna” while the website says “Diana.”

Anyone else observe this?

Here you go. Two plaid pants, one named Diana and the other named Donna. They’re both skinny, but probably different in some way,

The plaids are different, and also the waist -- one is higher waisted. But Angie's pick was the one you show in the photo. Hmmm.

They ARE skinny, and not straight. And they did not run big. As far as I know, there was only ONE style in this exact check by KUT.

I just checked my photos - and the styles clients tried on reads, "Donna". Pic from dressing room:

Huh. These are definitely a ponte-like fabric and have that more defined plaid pattern, but they are labeled Donna. And actually have some length (due to the high stretch factor) despite the “ankle” designation. They don’t look anything like the second pair in your photo, Janet. Interesting, and a little confusing!

At any rate, they are nice pants, and since my plaid Kuts from a few years ago are tight in the waist now (shakes fist at menopausal weight gain), these make a nice alternative.

Those are the same pants I got, and they are skinny. This is how they look on me, so you can compare with someone with thick hips/legs. I think Nordstrom mis-labeled on their website. (Keep in mind that I don’t have your gorgeous long legs so mine scrunch at the ankles.)

I think you’re right about mislabeling in the website, Kari. They look amazing on you! I tried mine on this morning but forgot to take a photo. I think they look good (although I am not fully confident of rear view because sometimes plaid or stripes can do really unfortunate things on my saddlebag area). But usually I end up wearing these styles with long jackets anyway. They just barely reach my ankles If I take care to pull them to full length on my legs.

Ordered these as well, yet to arrive, in my usual size. Here's hoping! Donna/Diana--who will show up at my door? I do not want to keep tugging at them to fit me properly, that's for sure. I noticed online the pattern on the Donna's is called 'print' not plaid and is indeed a print and the fabric content is different as well:

59% rayon, 34% polyester, 7% spandex (Donna)
67% rayon, 28% nylon, 5% spandex (Diana)

I checked and mine say Donna, although I thought I'd ordered Diana. My usual size, very skinny fit. If they weren't so comfortable, I wouldn't keep them.

I just ordered them too. We’ll see!

I also ordered these but they have not arrived. I hope they are Diana’s and fit more like straights. Interesting. Are yours a grey and black plaid?

Now I'm nervous about size... I ordered my usual 8.

Elizabeth, they have a lot of stretch. I have a feeling I could get away with the 8s, but the 10s are comfortable and don’t seem to bag out, even though I didn’t wear them long. I’ll give an update when the 8 arrives. But I’m only a few pounds shy of my peak weight right now, so I may not be a good size gauge at the moment.

Gosh how confusing lol. It’s a gorgeous plaid though. Kari looks fab in them. Some pants just need long tops, period. Lol. I’ve got a few pairs in that category, and they’re great pants, I’m just slightly limited to always need to pair them with longer tops. But it’s ok.

Jorja

Please, just to clarify because I’m confused. In the blog, the top pick is the Diana but it should be the Donna? The Donna is what Angie fit on her clients ( even though her find above is for the Diana) and what Janet, Kari and Ms Maven have bought. Is that the right?

Anonymous

Good question, Jorja. I ordered through Angie’s find. I am hoping that they will look good with a color black poncho that is a bit of an orphan, but I much prefer nylon to polyester in the fabric.

Kari

Veteran

Jorja, the label actually on the pants is “Donna”, so I think Nordstrom mislabeled the style on their website as “Diana.” I placed the exact pants in Angie’s find in my cart to be picked up at the store, and they were labeled as Donnas.

Jorja

Thanks, Kari. I ordered right from Angie’s link, too. So hopefully, i’ll get the right ones.

Mine say Donna ankle skinny. They are full length not ankle on me .
I ordered my normal size and they fit ok.The fabric is substantial and I like them.

+1 that the pants were labeled Donna Ankle in-store, but the Find is called Diana. I found that the size 0 I tried was MUCH longer than the size 00, so I wonder if there's some weird manufacturing issues going on too.

Mine came today -too much like leggings so they’ll be going back I was hoping they would work.

They are definitely a skinny ponte style. The smaller of the two sizes I ordered arrived today, and they fit fine, so I’m going with those. They have a lot of stretch!

Elizabeth P

Phew!

Mine arrived yesterday and are labeled Donnas. Unlike every other Kut style I have, they definitely don't run big. I ordered my usual size in Kuts and they fit like ankle leggings. A size up is on its way to me so we'll see how that works out as I want these to fit with more ease.

crst

I find the fit feedback on these curious overall. Mine seem low waisted, when many people say high waisted. (and mine are not tight around the calves when many people say their’s are). I guess with all the stretch, they just ride differently on different people. But I do like them quite a bit.

Anonymous

Crst, are yours labeled Donna or Diana? Mine should arrive tomorrow but I am wondering if I should order a size up now if they do not fit like Diana's of past seasons.

I would consider them a mid rise -- they come up to my belly button, but I am short of rise.

I can't say they're *tight* on the calves as much as they are just a stretchy, snug, classic skinny fit. They hug the curves of my legs. Not like denim, but like ponte or other stretch fabrics. But I have thick legs so others might find they have a bit more ease in the fabric than I do.

They are great pants. I'll enjoy them as an alternative to denim in the fall/winter.

I ordered my usual size and they really looked more like a legging on me. I did decide to order two more sizes just to see because I really like the fabric. I really do wish they were more of a straight style. I'm feeling so over skinnys although I know I'll be singing a different song this winter when it's slushy and snowing and I want to wear knee high boots!

AviaMariah, I felt the same way -- a little disappointed they weren't a bit more of a straight style, as I'm also not exactly over the moon for skinnies anymore. But they are nice in cold weather with boots.

Hear that, designers? We want something other than skinnies in these fab plaids!
