Silk slouchy pants: a more luxurious version of the Leith ones

Parsley

Veteran

For anyone who would rather have silk instead of the polyester Leith ones, these are very similar but much more luxurious feeling. The fit of the Leiths just wasn't quite right on me, but these are fantastic!
The big downside is that they're 4x the price, but I have resolved to only buy high quality items that I love, so to me they're worth it.

Nordstrom has sold out of the black already and only has gray left, but Saks still has the black.

I'll try to post pictures later if I can find time.

Looks like these are the pants shape du jour!

Can't wait to see your pics!

Thanks Marci and Kristen.

I'm shouting from the rooftops - this shape of trouser is a revelation (find your price point). It is gong to change up the landscape of your wardrobe big time. TRY THEM!

I agree, Angie, and I think these are going to be so versatile.
I tried really hard to make the Leith ones work for me, but somehow the hips looked like jodhpurs on me, but the Eileen Fishers, while equally full through the hips, have a nicer taper for my body and are a million times more flattering on me.

Great trousers, Parsley!! I can't wait to see them on you.

Do you think this is a trend a fuller figured lass could wear?

Funny, I pinned those about a week ago, and now they are gone?!

I can't get enough of this shape, really. I pinned them because I wanted the grey to vary from black!

OMG Parsley - those are GORGEOUS!!! I can hardly wait to see them on you. Did you get your regular size? Oh my....I absolutely NEED to find something like these....

Thistle, I don't know why not. I think you just need to try them and see. I mean, I'm no sylph myself.
I know you don't wear plus sizes, but I did see that Saks also has them in plus, so I'm guessing they might look good on curvy women.

Una, I was kind of tempted by the gray, too, but I was worried about what I'd wear them with.

Shannon, I got them in Medium, which is my usual Eileen Fisher size (EF runs really big).
I think you'd love them.

Parsley how tall are you if you don't mind me asking? I am very intrigued but wonder if these are long enough for me.

Zap, I'm 5'6", and they're plenty long on me, especially when I slouch them.

In the Saks pictures and video, the model is 5'10 and wearing a small.

Thanks Parsley. I just bought the medium in grey. I am already in love with what these will 'feel' like. I think I now have my spring/summer wardrobe covered: I think I've bought like 10 items from angie's 'store' recently. now waiting to feature them in wiw's and get some constructive criticism going.

Thank you... I might order, I'm very intrigued, I have a thing for silk.

Wow- I love these in gray for spring. Can see them with cream, navy/ink, cobalt, blush, black and mint... They are gorgeous and would help to relieve black pants boredom.

Parsley, for me the first time I viewed the Saks link video it was a model wearing the Salon Z collection, which is plus size. The next time I went back it was the size small model you mentioned. I couldn't figure out how to get from the small to the Salon Z, which could be helpful to those who may want to try it or see it styled on a curvy model. These pants are versatile. Thanks for sharing. I may not be able to resist.

Oopps - sorry for the redundancy. Just realized you had two posts with the different links.

Gorgeous! You wear the slouchy pants so well. I like these better than the Leith!
