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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

One color good, another color rough

I'm going to try to write this review one more time, since my first one was filtered out. Apparently if you talk about a hole that formed in the pants on your back side in the wrong way, it's considered profane.I purchased these in maroon to start, because I wanted something that would match well with navy/dark blue tops. I ordered in my normal size 4 and they fit amazing. They're relatively tight, closer to a legging than a relaxed fit, which is exactly what I was looking for. They tuck nicely into boots, but also look stylish with flat or booties. The fabric is pretty thick, similar to Express dress pants, and the color is a really pretty maroon. My only real complaint would be that I thought I would love not having to button/zip the pants, but I find that being curvy and not flat, I struggle a bit to get the pants over my bum. Once they’re on they fit great, but every bathroom break is a bit of a battle. With all that said, I loved them so much I ordered a second pair in black.This is where things take a turn. The black pair fit tighter than the maroon, so they’re even harder to get on and off. Then the third time I wore them, a hole started ripping along the seam on the fake back pocket. Of course I didn’t notice this until I was already wearing them at work, so it was a bit of a disaster of trying to hide my peeking out skin. Every time I sat down the added pressure from sitting made the hole rip even more. By the end of the day, it was a 3 inch hole running along the entire length of the pocket. Fortunately, the rip was along the seam so I was able to sew them back up and have worn them since with no more holes. But now I bring a back-up pair of pants to work just in case.Overall pros:Thick, stretchy fabric (can wear no show underwear with no panty line)Legging-like fitComfortableMaroon color fit true to sizeAccurate color depictionDon’t seem to shrink when washed on cold and put in dryerOverall cons:Hole formed on the back "pocket” of black pair after third wearBlack color fit tight/smallInconsistent sizing between colorsDifficult to get on/off if you are curvy

Pros
  • Wrinkle-resistant fabric maintains a polished look
Cons
  • The pants may not be suitable for wear in certain professional settings
