An Effortless sequel

They're made from Crepette™ — Wilfred’s iconic crepe fabric famous for its subtle texture and breezy, effortless drape. It’s sourced from an innovative Japanese mill.

Please make in more colors in tall!!
I tried all the Aritzia trousers and these are by far the most flattering, comfortable, and well fitting.
I just wish they had more colors in tall, especially chocolate brown, camel brown, and navy blue. I love them and desperately need more in every color!

Great alternative to Effortless
I originally purchased the effortless pant but exchanged for author which fits more tailored. I’m 5’4 and 120lb and ordered a size 4 and it fits perfectly. This is a great alternative to the effortless if you want the wide leg look with a bit more hug on your hips and thighs.

Like the effortless, but less wide.
These are like the effortless but just a bit more tailored instead of the wide leg feel. In love with the Japanese fabric, and makes you have more of a shape!

Nice pants, like the color
I sized up from an 8 to a 10. I'm a size 29 in the Yoko jeans. The 10s are surprisingly loose, even for my large thighs. The length is good for sneakers and flats on me. I will be getting the pockets sown down because they don't lay flat. It's almost like there's more fabric on the front of the pocket so it bunches up. I may get the waist tailored in the future. The color ardoise is lovely and I have mocha on the way to me!

Bizarre sizing, flawed construction
I am a side 29 denim and between an 8-10 in Aritzia dress pants. I initially tried these in a 10 and they were too small in the waist and hip. I the returned them and tried a 12, which fit virtually identically to the 10. There was also some puckering where the waistband was sewn to the pant. It’s a shame because the mocha sorbet color is gorgeous and the style is nice, but something went wrong with the construction of these pants.

For tall girls!
These pants are so flattering! And they fit tall girls! I’m 6’1 and about 155 lbs, usually a true medium. I did have these lengthened (go to the dry cleaners and ask them to adjust the hem, very easy) it added about an inch. They now hang over my feet, with at least a 35in inseam. These would fit anyone around 5’10 without issue

Unflattering
I wish the fabric was more opaque so that the pocket lining wouldn’t show through the pant. Also, I found that the waist line seams and pockets were too bulky in general. I’d go with the Alayna for a more sleek, flattering look. I do think I could’ve gone with a smaller size.

Fits like a dream!
I am very curvy and am normally a size 12 everywhere. These are very true to size and fit like a glove. I have been looking everywhere for the perfect pair of white pants for an upcoming trip, and these are perfect!
