Happy Friday! Hope you're all having a great summer so far. I am absolutely loving Athleta's latest shade of purple - Nocturnal. I grieved when Athleta stopped making their Seasoft pants in cropped length. They are now back but with an updated wide leg silhouette. The 90s are so back it's making me feel old. My mom probably felt the same way when I wanted to wear flares in the late 90s. She actually still had a pair in her closet from the 70s. Unfortunately they did not fit me!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 or XS/S in Lululemon.
Seasoft Mid Rise 4 inch Short Jungle Size XXS
I had tried on a pair of Seasoft Mid-Rise Short at the store a couple of months ago, but finally bought them when they went on sale. I'm happy I waited! I went with size XXS this time around, but I can also wear size XS as well. It just really depends on the mood I'm in. Do I want a slightly more fitted look, or do I want a more casual fit? Both sizes are equally comfortable. Jungle green actually reminds me of Lululemon's Gray Sage. That's probably why I love it. These shorts feel super soft and comfy, great for summer. This may be my third pair.
I ordered the petite and regular length for the Seasoft Wide Crop Pant. Sometimes I prefer the regular length, sometimes the crop length looks better on my frame. Here is the regular length and I'm wearing size XS.
Length measures 21.5"
Leg opening measures 23"
Nocturnal is gorgeous, it's such a beautiful dusty purple/brown that can shift lighter or darker depending on the lighting. This color has a lot of depth. These are indeed wide leg crops. The length hits slightly above my ankle in the regular length.
I will say Seasoft pants have the comfiest waistband.

Length measures 18.5"
Leg opening measures 20"
The petite length hits at the shin and I think this is the correct length for me. The regular sizing just makes the pant look a little too short. It's sort of that in-between look. Not exactly a crop, but also not full length.
What do you think of the wide leg crop length? Is it a keeper? I will let you all decide for me! I have a few pairs of Softstreme pants already but wouldn't mind adding this gorgeous dusty purple. Let me know in the comments which length you prefer.
That's all for me today. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
(This finally dropped on the site, I added to cart. I love the color.)
(This set is actually very cute.)
Oh, the wide leg crops are really cute!! I prefer where the petite sizing hits on you. I used to be so against crops and thought they made my short legs look shorter....but I am short. I'm now embracing them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend, Leslie! :)
I'd say those are definitely a keeper! THANK YOU for listing the inseams for both the regular and petite - why the heck has Athleta stopped putting that in the descriptions?? I'm probably going to get a pair of these as well; the color is just too good!
ReplyDeleteMy Seasoft jacket arrived, and I'm contemplating sending it back and maybe getting it in regular instead. The petite is almost too short on me. I like the sleeve length on the petite though...
