the melina™ cropped pant

Great easy basic to dress up or down. Flattering cut. Works well in a day to evening situation.

Title says all. And return at store for one credit but other pant still waiting. Not happy.

I’ve tried to buy the Melina pant in several sizes now to give it a try… I’ll be returning this in store most likely. This pant is so uncomfortable, not worth the price and the fit sucks… it leaves a gap every time I sit down and looks horrendous. You can see it even when I’m standing up… does not fit around the waist what so ever.

Had to return because my usual size did not fit

I normally wear 0/XS in Zara and 00 in Express for reference. I wear a 25 in high end jeans. I am 5'5", 113, bust: 32A, upper/lower waist: 24/27.5, hip: 34. I normally buy a size 0 for bottoms from Aritzia, and they fit nicely, but these are a little snug in the waist - the button pulls and the zipper shows a little at the top. I think if I go up a size, they will be too baggy in the legs. Not sure if I'll keep them. Cognac is a lovely color - rich.

Great quality, super soft… slightly smaller fit in the waist but length is perfect

Very cute, I recommend sizing up. I'm usually a 2 (5 foot, 110lbs), sometimes a 4. The 2 is wearable but is snug. Bought the 4 in a different color for a looser look. LOVE that it comes in short so the crop hits wear its supposed to even on me.

Colors vary, size is on the small side

Absolutely love these pants. beautiful color, smooth lovely fit

I sized up and and it’s still way too small. The sizing at aritzia is not consistent. You should make sure you go in to try it on, instead of taking a gamble on the size.

The fit is nice, I quite like the length.

So beautifully done. The material of the pant is so very comfortable soft and stretchy. It’s a perfect going-out /dinner pant.

Purchased the Melina pants in sand bluff. The color is perfection. The fabric is buttery soft and they fit super high waisted and cropped at the ankle. Very happy!

The straight fit works well for me, love both colours purchased. Only thing, it would be nice to have a choice of the longer inseam for the cropped pants. I chose the longer inseam when ordering online but it doesn’t say long on the tags.

The fit is slightly bigger in the back but overall it fits pretty amazing

These pants are great quality and I love them. I wear a size 4 and I ordered a size 6 and they are probably 3 sizes too small and I can't return them.

Quality is good and the colour is gorgeous ! Definitely size up one - two sizes

The material is good quality, the fit is great and it looks fantastic. The only downside is it's not something you can wear often (so can't justify the price for more than 1 pair) and it's not an easy item to clean. I love mine but there are some things to consider before buying.

Love the pants but Aritzia needs to figure out their sizing. Im a size 4 everywhere else, sometimes even a size 2 but when shopping at Aritzia Im a 6 or 8!?!? Why cant we just have universal sizing?

Previously had a pair in black, bought two colored pairs and none of them fit the same. Both colored pairs I️ ordered require a size up, I️ had to return them.

Very versatile pants. I totally get why they’re so popular. You just need to throw a sweater on and the pants just elevated the entire outfit.

I like the look from the front. I’m curvy and I love my bum. It literally FLATTENS your bum and not in a nice way. Pretty sad for pants that are almost $200.
Worn once and probably won’t wear again because when you sit down you can see how fragile the vegan leather is. Also the sizing is off. I’m a size 4-6 with a big butt and I had to order an 8. So beware.

These are super cute pants and I have a pair in both black and birch, but I had to get rid of the birch pair after them getting ruined in the wash. I’m not sure what happened because I followed the care guidelines, but the material does not hold well in the light color. Additionally, a family member ordered me a new pair of the birch pants for Christmas but they came with a market stain on them that I realized only after taking the tags off. Thankfully I was able to get some of the stain out, but it’s disappoint considering the pants are new and the stain is still there. Aritzia needs to focus on ensuring that it’s sending its customers quality products that aren’t defective and hold well in the wash.

I found the waist small compared to how loose the bum and legs were. I returned them

I've noticed a drastic difference between Aritzia qualities (e.g. Winfield and Babaton) in the leather pants. Not sure it's about the origins of the garment but the ones made in China were just glued in the hem of the pants and some were even torn because people TRYING them in the store! I noticed that with Rebel pants also. I decided to go for a better quality and exchanged the pant for the leather Babaton option (however both had the same price!!!). Unfortunately it's too big and I bought the smallest size! I don't know what to do now because it's unfair to pay the same price for a really bad quality pant as Rebel pant, but they fit me better. I thought I can trust Aritzia, I'm not happy :(

great for short girls! very true to size. 4’11 and fit right at the ankle

I ordered these 2 sizes up based on other reviews and they still were like 3 sizes too small. I ordered 2 sizes smaller from Zara of the same style pant and they were perfect. Don't waste your money on these.

Ok the sizing of these pants is not to par and the fit is just awful. Sized up to a 6 couldn't barely get them zipped in the front and there was a bit of a gap in the back! Cannot size up anymore because it would be way too big in the back. These pants need a fix so upset I had to return them! Please adjust the sizing!

The pants are not meant for a petite woman even in the short size. The 00 I couldn’t zip up and the 0 was massive. Really disappointed.

I absolutely adore Aritzia so this review actually makes me sad to write. I have noticed over the last year that their sizing is not consistent. I've ordered the same exact things from 2021, this year, to find they are much more cropped than before. However the Melina Cropped has been the most disappointing. The Melina Cropped was perfect for me as I am 5'1" and it hit right under my ankle bone. The Melina Pant in a size Short were too long so I was a big fan when I found these. I ordered the Cognac in the same size as my pair from last year to find they were two inches above my ankle bone! When I asked for Styling advice on Chat, I was not given any recommendations or insight to why this occurred. Please Aritzia - get better at quality control!

I would absolutely not recommend these pants. I purchased a pair from the warehouse sale expecting the same quality Aritzia stands behind. I have just worn the pants for the first time, and within less than an hour of sitting in the car, the pants began to completely peel and fall apart. Aritzia will not exchange the pair nor refund me. I am very disappointed.

second time they ripped !

I love everything about them! I’m taking one star off as the fly is crooked. And it’s all the pants

Wish I loved these - they're comfortable and the fabric is nice (warning: bit shiny). But they're narrow through the hip and made my butt look like a pancake. The back pockets are also placed in a way that made my butt look wide. I also had a gap in the back waist band. Just not the right fit for me. For reference, I'm a size 25 in jeans with 34 inch hips and got a size 2 regular.

I really love these pants but, after just two wears the stitching on the belt loops have come undone. I wish the quality was better for how much they are.

I've been shopping with Aritzia for a decade. Their vegan leather pants are some of favorites. Like the others, the Melinas are super soft. The colors are fantastic as always. The problem with these pants is the sizing, particularly the waist. I'm a 2 or 4 but in these I had to go to an 8. For reference, I'm 5'3" and 120 pounds. As a middle aged woman I have a little bit of a belly now, still, I couldn't even get the 4's on to my body. The size 8 fit in the waist but the rest of the pants are baggy, fitting more like wide leg pants. I like the style but they definitely don't fit as expected in the photos. If you aren't super slim in the waist you may also have to go up a size or more like I did.

I don't care about the size #, it's having to go up two sizes because of the waist. After a decade of buying pants at Aritzia, the last year has been a struggle. This applies to numerous styles, not just the Melina. Please make go back to making pants for real women Aritizia.

Amazing! I got a size 4 and it is a bit big around the waist but other than that they fit great! I am 4’11 for reference and got the regular so they end just above my ankle!

Very classy pant that can be styled up for a professional work day or down for a casual outing. Love the colour!

I am 5'2 and 100lbs. The 00 Short fits me perfectly. These are extremely flattering and classy pants. The 00 crop is perfect for my height.

I am typically a size 6 in pants but these pants were too small. It was my bad though since I forgot to check the size chart. I will be returning and sizing up to an 8! For reference, I’m 5’ and ordered the Tall cropped version so that they would fit full length on me.

These are great pants and I love the crop length. They fit very well, I bought size zero and I am 5’1 and 100 pounds.

I had to return this because length it’s too short and waist is too tight

I bought my first pair of Melina last year when the cropped only came in one length. It was the PERFECT length for my 4'11" frame. I've been wanting another pair for ages now so I bought the Tall Cropped, as the inseam was the closest to the old cropped. It was half an inch shorter, which I expected since it was mentioned in the description. But the biggest disappointment was the waist - it was smaller too! Very frustrating. Wish it had the same inseam length as the old cropped! Those were so good!

I’ve got the crop because I’m only 5´2 They are very soft fit great I got my normal size 2

Overall amazing quality, but I got 00 but the waist is too big for me:(

They’re a little more cropped than I would have liked, and I’m only 5’1. Other than that, they’re great and fit true to size — I just wish I got the regular Melina in their short style instead 🤷🏻‍♀️

Size up for these pants I’m normally a 00 but the 0 fit perfectly

I do love the fit of the Melina Crop Pants however I received my usual size 0 in the Melina and it was big on me. I went to the store to return it. I compared it to the 0 that was in the store, as witnessed by the sales associate, it was an inch bigger on the waist compared to the same pants and the same size 0. They just ordered me another 0 cropped and it was perfect when it arrived.

Very confused by the inconsistent fit. I have a pair in the full length Melina, which I originally sized up (size 6) from my normal size (size 4) as they fit a bit smaller. However when I ordered the same size in the cropped version they were so small that I could barely button them up. I compared the waist of the cropped to my full length pair and there was a huge difference. Not sure if the second size 6 was labelled wrong, but there is no way these are both the same size?

I've been looking at the Melina pant for over a year and have been scared to try them but I'm so glad I finally did! They are so stylish, comfortable, and easy to care for! I'm 5'2" and depending on the pants a size 2/4. A size 2 was the suggested fit in this cut and they work perfectly! I definitely recommend!
