Magic Pants

Hi friend! I hope you’re having a great week! It’s been nonstop over here trying to get all my ducks in a row for back to school. Do you feel that way too?

Magic Pants

Today’s post is all about the Magic Pants (& Jeans!) that I discovered when my friend Stephanie wore them to her birthday dinner a few weeks ago. She looked so cute in these black high waist crop pants and I complimented her on them.

She told me they were the Colette pants from Anthropologie and then Kelly chimed in and said “oh, I have those too and love them!” 

Then I remembered seeing them on Abercrombie’s website in several colors and even fun patterns. How cute are these?!

Come to find out, these are Anthropologie’s best selling, best reviewed pants and jeans EVER.  They are incredibly comfortable with a high-rise and perfect wide leg. They fit like a dream and are easy to wear all day long.

The reason they’re MAGIC is because they are literally made from fabric exclusive to Anthro which is expertly engineered to sculpt as it stretches. BEAUTIFUL!! They have no side seams and the pockets are perfectly placed.

I ordered several pair, both the pants and jean styles in different colors so I could share them with you today.  The cool thing is you can dress them up or down, wear them to work or play. I’m SMITTEN!

Pants fit: These pants and jeans fit true to size. I am wearing 25 Petite in all of them. They come in standard, tall, petite, plus and adaptive.

This particular style comes in a medium wash, light wash, and dark denim. I honestly could not believe how good they felt on! I paired them with this short sleeve floral henley.

Same jeans in the darker wash and I’m also crazy for this sweater. I like where it hits and how you don’t have to front tuck it. A flesh toned bra is a good choice underneath.

This is the lightweight linen edition that looks dressed up but feels easy to wear.

The top is also gorgeous with the crochet/lace detail and bubble sleeves.

As we’re getting closer to Fall, I wanted to try out some warm colors like this pretty brown. I can see it layered with sweaters when the weather gets chilly. But for today, I’m wearing it with a gorgeous flutter sleeve blouse. The back is awesome too because it’s longer and cinched at the waist, helping to define your waistline.

And for all my UT fans, they even have this burnt orange color. The top is a perfect transition to Fall plaid with a combo of warm tones and light blue. It has a Peter Pan collar, petite ruffles and delicate buttons.

It’s easy to dress these pants up for the office with a button down. But the button down doesn’t have to be boring. This playful top is full of fun color and pattern. It comes in several pattern options.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw this short sleeve floral sweatshirt that said 1993! That’s the year I graduated high school! Now my son is entering high school – he’s class of 2028!

These are the latest style in a thicker ponte knit. They feel amazing on and come in so many cool colors. The top is the varsity polo tank with front buttons and rusching.

These are the darkest wash, in both Elm (soft black) and black. I paired them with my Amazon bubble top for a more casual look.

Last but not least, this is Anthro’s Somerset dress that has over 1,200 positive reviews. It comes in both short and maxi lengths and they’re always coming out in new colors and patterns. I’m loving this one for Fall!

  1. These pants look amazing! I’m very excited about this post! Do you think you could have sized down? I’m reading reviews and some are saying to size down one or two sizes. I’m 5’3″ and 125 lbs. and usually wear a 27. Did you notice the pants stretched as you wore them? That’s my experience anytime I wear linen pants – they stretch out as you wear them.

    1. I have a few pairs of the linen Maeve and they are so fun! I sized down – I’m a 29/30 in denim and a 28 in the Maeve pants. They don’t stretch out like other linen pants I’ve owned.

    2. Hi Katheryne, 25P is my true size and they fit perfectly, I didn’t need to size down and they fit comfortably for a long time without stretching.

  2. Your blog is my favorite! I had to giggle at the jeans…they look like you’re wearing them backwards. It’s the pockets. It’s always good to see what the new trends are.

  3. I loved this post! I have rented Colette styles from Nuuly before they’re great pants. You should do more Anthropologie try on posts. I’m petite like you and struggle to find pants that fit in length and rise.
