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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best.Office.Pants.Ever.

I'll join the lemming hordes - I cannot rave enough about these pants! I got the charcoal color, wore them to work today for the first time, and they are winners in every category. 1) They don't stretch out. 2) They don't give me diaper bum after 8 hours of sitting. 3) They are body skimming, NOT tight. 4) The ankles aren't super tight on me (not like the model), making them look more like real pants and less like leggings. The *only* possible drawback would be, that they don't look quite right with booties for this reason, since booties really call for a tighter ankle. But these are perfection with ballet flats or loafers. I plan on buying many more pairs and telling everyone about them!For reference, I'm 130lbs and 5'6"; and a 6 is perfect. A size 4 would have still fit, but been a lot more legging-like.**UPDATE**I no longer love these pants with the fervor I once did. Two things that bother me: 1) They bunch up at the back of the legs. Not sure why this is, but no matter what size I get, the fabric doesn't lay straight. It's like I'm wearing scrunchies on my legs.2) No matter what size I get, they don't seem to get any bigger. I thought I'd size up so that they wouldn't bunch and would be less sausage-casing-ish. I work in a new office now and need to dress more professionally, and these pants are a bit too legging-like. I just don't feel comfortable wearing them unless I have a shirt that covers my bum (otherwise, I might as well be wearing leggings). So I had the genius idea to size up a few sizes, and perhaps then they would be a bit looser fitting and I could wear them with tuckable shirts. Nope. Size 8 fits exactly the same as size 4. Still leggings. Someday, I might take my chances with a size 12, but my ego is smarting a bit by now.

Pros
  • Enhances your natural curves
Cons
  • The pants may require special undergarments or shapewear to achieve the desired fit
