Review on Rekucci Women'S Modern Stretch Skinny Pant With Tummy Control For Effortless Comfort by Brad Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ordered a size 4.Overall A-

I'm 5'5" and weigh between 115-120. I usually wear a size 2, and in some brands a size 4. Size usually 4 fits ok but gets saggy in the derriere after a few wears. With all my other pants, this is easily remedied by washing/heat drying. I'm a mommy who sits at a desk all day long and prefers eating ice cream to working out. My tiny Asian mother blessed me with a thin build but I still have all the imperfections that come with parenthood and it being the hiking off season aka the dreaded winter of the PNW. These pants definitely do a great job of hiding all flaws.self-consciousness be gone!However, the size 2 wasn't available so I thought. what the heck, perhaps the size 4 will shrink a little after drying. After reading so many reviews, I'm going to try a low heat setting then air dry as I don't want to destroy the fabric by overheating.When I first put them on, the shape was weird around my waist. They're a thick, stretchy fabric with a very light sheen, and they don't feel at all like those ultra soft jeggings (which is precisely what I was looking for). Perfect for wearing to work and true to color (really dark charcoal gray). They pull on with no button/zipper, yet have two full sized pockets up front. Without a shirt tucked in, the shape at the waist is baggy. Seems they are shaped to accommodate working up and around larger hips. Kinda bugged me at first, but I got over it. With a shirt tucked in, looks very professional and cute. The length at the ankle is a bit longer than I'd like, but I can live with it. Will definitely order the shorter pants next.These sit just halfway through my belly button and hips. SUPER COMFY! No plumber's butt (I'm not 21 anymore) and not overly high waisted. Doesn't ride up in unwanted places.I did notice a weird part in the stitching on the rear though. It's a bit shinier there and almost looks like it's coming apart. I did a minor stretch test and the threads are holding tight. Just SHINY in that spot.Even with my little complaints (borderline neurotic/OCD when it comes to clothing) I do like these pants and will try other colors, but definitely going with my usual size 2 next time around.Hope this helps!

Pros
  • Waistband stays in place for all-day comfort
Cons
  • The pants may be too restrictive for wear during physical activity
