From Ann Mashburn (former chief designer at J. Crew): “The Faye Cropped Flare Pants are brilliant. "Minimal, clean and quietly chic" is what we have in the item copy on the website. A perfect description (which I can say because I didn't write it.) They are all of those things. But the MOST important part of these pants, is that they are a stretchy, pull-on style with an elastic waist, and they flatter E V E R Y woman who puts them on. Truly. No lie. Imagine you are in yoga pants (which I do really love for weekend grocery runs) but you are NOT in yoga pants. You are in REAL clothes! Whatever that means to you. The point is that they are polished but next-level comfortable. You could wear them in an office. You could wear the knit version on a transatlantic flight, and still look fresh when you get off the plane. “ Bright and cheerful yellow pants. Comfortable and stylish for everyday wear. Note slight spots up at the top of the elastic waistband. Might be from a sharpie when I was at work. Priced accordingly. Can’t see spots if you wear a shirt or sweater over it. Large thick and stretchy.
