J.Crew’s Minnie pant has been out in various fabrics (and price points) for ages, it may seem sort of silly to be reviewing them now. I have tried them on a few times and was just NOT feeling the Minnie love. However, I kept seeing people rave about them. So I was determined to find the right pair for me.
The first time I tried out the Minnie was several months ago. I took my usual size but found the pants really gripping around the hips and thighs. And not in a remotely flattering way. Saddlebag city if I’m honest, blech. They must have altered the cut a little bit because I didn’t have that problem with the Minnies I tried on this weekend.
First up, the Zipper denim Minnie pant. These were on sale at my store for $29.99 (um score!) There are still $69.99 online, not sure what’s up with that J.crew…I believe the Faded denim Minnie and regular denim Minnies were also $29.99. I tried them all and the zippered pair was by far my fave. The Faded Minnies were cute but have a large slippery zipper in the back and I was afraid they would unzip while I was walking, too scary. I was not feeling the fabric and color of the regular denim Minnies. But I felt the Zipper Minnies were very much me. I took the size 0 which is a little big in the waist. The J.Crew SA mentioned they would stretch even more but there was no double 0 in the store and I did not want the legs any tighter. I plan on wearing these for a day or so to stretch them out and then having the waist taken in.
Before we get to the pics, keep in mind the camera angle adds hip width (and apparently makes me feet look oddly long lol)
