I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Target, just take my money. For less than thirty bucks, I’m sitting pretty with slightly stretchy, perfectly form-fitting, pool-at-the-floor flares. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still love a good pair of skinnies but I can’t help but feel extra-posh in jeans that create such a feminine silhouette.
These beauties are curtesy of the Mossimo line at Target and they don’t disappoint. The fit is super comfortable with the perfect stretch-to-hold ratio, reminding me of the days when I could afford premium denim. Add to that the loving support of a high (but not too high) waist band and you can see why these rate so high in my book.
While these babies run true to size (with one exception), they do run longer than average. As someone who has a mild phobia of pants that are awkwardly short, this longer length pleases me greatly. In fact, I was able to get away with purchasing the “regular” length for the classic “Medium Wash” pair and they are mere centimeters shy from being the perfect length with flats.
I also purchased these in “Tokyo Black” and “Fresh White” because if you love something, buy every color available and never let them go. I bought both the black and white pair in the “long” length, which is perfect for me to wear with a bit of a heel. A word of warning about the white pair though. This pair seems to be made with slightly stiffer material and I found that they run one size small, so size up if you want to avoid the anguish of standing in that return line.
For reference, I am 5’ 10” so my suggestion would be to go with the Regular length only if you are between 5’ 7” and 5’ 10”. If you are 5’ 6” and under go for the Short option and 5’ 10” and above, you ladies will appreciate the length on the size Long.
