Front zip define flare pants

First, let’s address the style of the pants. I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I had a pair of pants like this years ago so I was drawn to them for nostalgic reasons but also because I like hardware that looks like jewelry. One of my favorite pieces I own is the black all night festival bag with gold hardware so I am all for the black / gold revival. And the zipper thing is kind of sexy, let’s be honest.

My first impression after taking them out of the bag was… Wow, what the hell is this fabric? It’s so thin. Like paper thin. I was expecting a thick luon define fabric but this is not that. It’s kind of scratchy and doesn’t have enough stretch to “define” anything. I expected them to be super hugged and snatched. They’re actually kinda baggy in a way, and no I do not need to size down. The fact that they are very thin means I would have to layer them over shorts or leggings in the colder months.

The hardware is not like jewelry. It is a cheap plastic-y zipper. I thought it was going to be metal. It is not gold hardware like you see on other pieces, it is painted plastic.

Additionally the pants have some weird details. A quote on the inside of the waistband that honestly gives me the ick. And the locker loop? Why?? Who is wearing these to the gym?

So overall not impressed and not keeping. These were clearly made for the influencer fast fashion market, but at this cost? My god Lulu… What are you doing? 😵‍💫 I haven’t been this disappointed in a long time.
