Fit Review! Align Wide Leg Crop 23
June 14, 2020
Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I have a quick little fit review for you today. I received the Align Wide Leg Crop 23" in the mail on Friday and I picked black over violet verbena even though I was very tempted by the pretty lilac shade.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.
First thing- I found this to be true to size. I'm usually a size 4 in my Align Crops and these fit the same. The fabric is the same buttery soft nulu that we all love. I think these are very petite friendly given the 23" length and they look very stylish and classy. The width of the pant leg isn't overly wide and overwhelming which I really like. They are cut pretty straight from the thigh.
One thing I wasn't a huge fan of is the super high rise. These almost reach my lower rib. It's that high. I find it a little uncomfortable with how high these are so for me it's a pass even though I do think they look amazing and very flattering.
I think the length is perfect. They fall just above my ankles and look really cute with my new Allbirds wool loungers. I just got these as well and will have a review coming up soon. I love that there are pockets but they do flare out just a little bit, but not enough to bother me. For $98, are they worth the money? Hmmmm I would say it's pretty close. I think $88 would be a little more fair, but they're a nice piece to add to your stay-at-home loungewear part of your wardrobe.

Out of all the wide leg crops you have done reviews on- the aligns look the best on you! They make your legs look longer. I know the waist is high, but it would go well with crop tops. You should consider keeping those!
ReplyDeleteI'll try it on again to see if I can deal with the super high waist, but generally they just make me feel like I have a corset on. lol!
DeleteAgree with Sherry. The length is good for a petite body and the crop does look very flattering on you. The width of the hem is perfect and makes you look taller. Unless it’s really uncomfortable with the high waist band, you should consider keeping it. Makes me wanna try it out too but I’m worried about the pilling issues. All my Aligns are in printed/embossed materials which I feel are less prone to pilling. I had black Groove Pants (Luon) before and the pilling was terrible. Not sure about solid color Nulu but the comments are not that positive.
ReplyDeleteHmmm I have a bunch of Align Crops in the solid colors and rotate them enough that the pilling is fairly minimal. But I did have one pair that I wore A LOT and the pilling did get pretty bad and I had to retire it. Was very sad!
DeleteI’m with you on the super high rise fit, I find it very constrictive and uncomfortable. They are cute pants but I wouldn’t be comfortable in them.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one who feels that way! Seems like almost everyone loves the high rise.
DeleteThese look amazing on you!! The length is perfect for showing off your shoes too :D
ReplyDeleteThat they do! They would look great dressed up or down.
