Okay - the slouchy fit pants are a much debated topic around my circle of friends. I personally love the unusual cut and think that if done correctly these pants do look edgy, fashion forward, and modern.
Here are some of the recent comments I got:
Mia: Kim, why do you want to wear pants that make you look like a conductor in an orchestra?
Daisy: Why do you want to wear pants that look like you have on a diaper? or that you needed to go to the bathroom?
Of course,I went ahead and purchased this pair at J.Crew despite popular commentary. I plan on pairing them with a simple v-neck t-shirt and a brown belt with a gold buckle to make them more casual vs. corporate. And of course, platform heels are a must to show off the cropped fit. :)
And they aren't as baggy as they look in the rear view. They sit higher on the waist then most of my pants and I like the unexpected exposed zipper.

I also stumbled across this pair by Alice + Olivia and think they would look terrific with summer sandals/ clogs!
