I'm bummed, Minnie pants were a no-go for me

I ran into JCrew to try on the Minnie today and they were soooooooooo not flattering on me :(

So when I got home, I went to look at the Ann Taylor red crops, and the only size they have left online is a 0.

Where else should I look for similar crops? In a reddish/pink color?

Re: I'm bummed, Minnie pants were a no-go for me

  • I hated the Minnie pants on me too. They hugged every little curve and I usually feel like I have chicken legs. My legs felt massive in the Minnies.

    I have these in green from BR last year and I like them. They're a really good "dress pant crop" if that's what you're going for (which I assumed you are with the Minnie).

    If you want more casual pants try Urban Outfitters. They have a lot of red color family cropped pants right now.

  • I like the Minnie's, but only in black.  I got them in purple and they were not flattering at all, but in black they were.  weird!
  • Check your local AT, the store near me has them marked down and available in every size. They must not be popular amongst the crowd who shop at AT in my area.
  • I tried the factory version, the Winnie and they were awful!

    I love the BR ones that karebear posted (I just got them in bird of paradise) and also the cafe capri at J.Crew. Most of my crops are one of these two.

    If you like the stretch of the Minnie, have you tried Gap's Slim Crop? I love them. Also like the Refined Crop but it is a different fabric, more of a cotton (I have them in red).

  • Kris356--Since you have both, which has more a slim cut, Gap's slim crop or BR's cropped pants?  I should really ask which of the 2 is more flattering overall?  Thanks!

    The Gap ones are defnitely slimmer. The BR ones are a bit more "dressy". I like the BR ones a bit better. My favorite is the cafe capri from J.Crew.

  • Thank you, Kris356!  I'll have to try them out.
  • I don't know if these would be dressy enough for you, but I found these to be flattering on.  My store had limited colors in sizes 0 and 2, but had lots of options in other sizes.

    I second this other than the cafe capri...don't have those, but will have to try.

    The Gap Slim crop are stretchy and they hug my legs more, which I'm really not wanting at work. The BR ones on me are definitely looser - more like a cropped dress pant.

    Here are the BR ones Mav - I probably could have gone down a size, but these are the last year model, so who knows on this year.

    (I have no idea why it's sticking the picture in the quote up there, but you get the point.

    ETA: Can't find a pic of the slim crops on me to compare b/c I hardly wear them, but they're so tight on me that I usually wear them with boots over...and I sized up which makes the waist stretch and do funky things. Definitely not my favorite pant.

  • Karebear--Thanks so much for the PIP, it helps me alot.  The BR crops look so nice on you, very polished for the office.  And a great way to showcase cute shoes!
  • Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to try to head in to AT tomorrow and see if they have any in my size...I like the Gap Slim ones too but will have to try those on. Gap/ON/BR pants usually look funky on me for some reason...
