When it comes to Everlane bottoms, I feel like quite the Goldilocks. I have tried many many pants and jeans from them and have yet to keep one long term (the only one I committed to was the Wide Leg Crop pants, which I ended up selling several months later). I have also tried every variation of their sustainable denim with no success. So I would love to say that I've finally found my pair of Everlane pants, but sadly no I did not end up keeping this one either. But I've finally figured out why because TBH, these kick crop jeans are probably the closest pair of ideal jeans I've ever tried from Everlane. But the reason Everlane jeans don't work for me is the rise. I have realized I'm just not a high-rise jeans person, I'm a mid-rise jeans person (and I will only tolerate high-rise pants if they have elastic waistbands like Elizabeth Suzann's Clyde Pants). When I wear high-rise pants, I'm tempted to undo the button every time I sit down, much like men un-button their blazer button when they sit (if only this was acceptable for us to do, lol).
Too bad too since I really like the look of these jeans:
{Wearing: Everlane old cropped cashmere (similar here), Everlane Kick Crop jeans, Everlane Day Heel Mules (review coming soon), Polene numero un bag (review coming soon)}
The jeans run TTS and are a great option for those with short legs since you can cut the hems yourself to your desired length. And I think even if you cut off an inch or two it doesn't change the flare of the jeans too much (here I'm just folding up the hem to my ideal length). I also really love this classic blue jean color and found that this is a lot softer than the all black denim I tried in the mid-rise skinny reviewed here (those jeans didn't do it for me since I'm abstaining from buying more skinny jeans at the moment).
{And oops a note on sizing since I forgot but Joy was so good to remind me in the comments! So I'm usually a size 4-6, and have been getting Everlane jeans in 28 (except for the modern boyfriends where I sized down like a lot of folks).}
Anyway if you're a petite person looking for a good pair of high-rise pants, these jeans are definitely worth a try. Has anyone else tried the new kick crop and what did you think?
P.S. Here's another review of the kick crop from one of my favorite Aussie bloggers!
