pleated pant

Love these pants for work. They are super comfortable and fit great. I personally like them more than the effortless pants, they’re not as tight. I really like the more “looser fit” look to them.

These pants are a perfect fit / length and great for work. They are also extremely comfortable.

The fabric has a nice weight and feel. I got the pants in both light grey and black, after being impressed with the same style in white shorts. The waist doesn't gap in the back, and the pockets are nice and deep. Your tall model is said to be wearing a size 4 with heels, but that seems impossible, since I'm 5'9" and the size 10 just touches the floor when I'm barefoot (which is fine because I always wear flat shoes.) It's too hot outside to wear long pants now, so I'm saving them for the fall.

Loved the pants, but I wish I would have ordered them in a tall length, I feel them a little bit short.

These pants are a thicker material but so classy. Can be dressed up or down.

I ordered these and the Effortless pants in (RE)Essential fabric so this is my comparison review of the two pants in the same fabric.

I ordered both pants in Size 4. I'm usually a Size 2-4 in pants at Aritzia (2 being tight fit, 4 being relaxed fit). I'm also a comfortable Size 4 in this year's Effortless Crepette but also own the New Bridger pants in both Size 2 and Size 4. I'm 5'1", 112lbs, 34C, 26 in jeans.

The (RE)Essential fabric fits more snug than the Crepette fabric. But it was not so much tighter that I had to size up so Size 4 was good.

Compared to the Effortless pants, the Babaton Pleated pants have some key differences: (1) the leg is wider, (2) there is a single pleat instead of 2 pleats on each leg, (3) the pleat starts right at the belt waistband, whereas on the Effortless pants the pleat starts 1-1.5inches below the waistband, and (4) the waist was a tiny bit looser than the Effortless so I was able to wear them 1/2 inch lower.

For petite girlies, if you don't mind the wider leg on the Babaton Pleated Pants, I think these pants can be a better option than the Effortless because the single, higher pleat is more flattering for shorter legs. I also preferred the slightly looser waist so I could wear them lower (the Effortless pants have SUCH a high rise for me). In the end, I kept the Effortless pants in (RE)Essential bc I preferred the slimmer leg but the high rise on the Effortless pants was almost a deal breaker for me :(

I got these in the navy stripes and I adore them. They are so effortless and chic. Thick material with some structure and perfect for work or everyday.

So comfy for everyday wear to work or going out with a cute top.

Really nice fabric and length. Looks just like the picture.

Love these pants! I wear them at least 1-2 a week. You can dress them up or down. Love how comfortable & versatile they are! Would buy again for sure. Wish they had a grey pinstripe version

Love the fabric, fit and length. I’m 100 lbs, 5’0.

It was okay. Didn't seem like anything special unlike their Agency pant. At the time, the Agency pant only came in one length, so I decided to try the pleated pant in a short length. It was still way too long. If you want a pair of pleated pants, I'd highly recommend the Effortless cropped instead.

Loved these pants -- usually purchase the EFFORTLESS. I wanted them to fit slightly below belly button (similar to model fit) but they are still pretty high waisted. I also like pants to fit a bit slouchy and so I sized up from a 6 to an 8, but fit just right. Also I am 5'7" and selected a regular length and I wish I had gotten tall. They feel great with sneakers and loafers but look weird with heels.

I loved it! Fits amazing, the only problem that I saw is that it catches my cats hair all the time… but overall pretty good!

I just received these pants. Definitely size up as my regular size (10 in short) is tight on me, couldn't even zip up. Overall fabric quality is great.

Whenever I wear this pant I would have people compliment on how it fits. The material is very thick which is perfect for winter. I love how high-rise it is and hug your hips well.
It's definitely a snug fit so I'd recomend size up if youre between sizes.

Can wear casually with a sweatshirt and sneakers, to work with loafers or out to dinner with heels!
Heavier weight than some of my other pants, just FYI.

I know everyone loves the effortless pants but I just have never been a fan. I decided to try these out and I LOVE them!! They are so comfortable and flattering and I love the material!

The Pleated Pant fits me perfectly. I usually wear a size 0 in effortless pant, but I got a size 2. The material is nice and thick for fall weather. Would definitely buy again!

I'm obsessed with the Re-ssential fabric. The pants fit amazing on my waist and hips, but the length was just too short. The length just looked awkward for such a wide leg. I had to return them.

I would size up from what you wear in the effortless pant. Tried my usual size and it didn’t work.

I am a big fan of wide leg pants. Effortless in crepette drapes better than this fabric. Due to the thickness of this pants, you don’t really enjoy the flow feeling. If you want real wide leg with this fabric, go with founder pants. Overall I love this fabric but not in this style.

fabric is thicker, the clasp is a little smaller but basically fits feels and looks like the effortless pant

Purchased regular length but I'm petite so knew I would need hemmed. Fits TTS everywhere else. The material is soo thick and soft, the most high quality pants I own now, and most all my pants come from Aritzia. I already have the effortless pant and these are same fit and style but thicker, more luxurious quality imo. Amazing steal for the sale price.

I’ve always loved the effortless pants and I have them in multiple colours. I saw these on sale and decided to try them out. They are also amazing! They fit pretty much the same as the effortless pants, they just have a different fabric

Love these pants. Usually a 00, but they only had a 0, which still fit well. Slightly a gap in the waist-but not so overwhelming. Nothing a small belt can’t handle.

Purchased these in the tall length and they fit like a dream. I wear a size 6 usually but I did size up after looking at the size guide. The size 8 tall is perfect for me.

Finally after much searching, a pair of pants with a small enough waist and wide enough hips. I can only say good things about these pants. Looking forward to buying more!

love the style and color, but not much of the material. its heavy and not so soft as I wish. but will keep it

Was excited for these but unfortunately had to return. The fabric was a bit heavy than expected (would make a great dress ont for fall/winter) and it was too small. Typically a size 6/28 and these were way too tight in the waistband. I would go up at least one size from your usual unless you have a very defined waist.

I love the fit and silhouette on these. The waist is a tad bit loose but the 4 was overall a bit tight so I sized up, which I've found in other pants in Re(essential) fabric. I will be either wearing this with a belt or I may have the waist slightly taken in. I am 5'2" but I ordered the regular inseam and I'm fine with that since I plan to wear this with heels and even with chunky sneakers it's not too bad. I considered getting the Effortless pants and when I put these on I was sold on it over the Effortless.

Pretty cute pants, love the color, fits right but could just be a tab more fitted at the hips.

Quality, fit and style is just perfection. I want them in all colors! I am typically a size 0 so I did have to size up but the fit is great. Love them.

I love this and I can't wait to buy it in another colour! The fit is comfy and I can go from day to night with this pair of pants. I ordered a size 6 and it fits true to size.

Order one size up from normal; even the staff at Aritzia noted the pants run small when I exchanged fit a different size

I have a small waist and big hips and bum so it's always a struggle finding trousers that fit my waist, hips, bum and thighs WITHOUT tailoring. It's even harder finding trousers that fit me perfectly and don't need to be hemmed. Enter these pleated pants. They fit me perfectly. Just right on the waist. Just right over the hips and bum. Perfect length in size regular. Super comfortable and super flattering. I purchased three pairs and want to buy at least two more (I'm eyeing Navy and Matte Pearl) because they're just that good.

I love these pants. They are more structured than the effortless but still soft on the skin. Super high waisted and the pleating is very flattering.

These pants feel super luxurious. The material is nice and thick, definitely worth the price. I feel like my body tends to look boxy when I tuck in blouses but these pants add a natural curve to the hip/butt area even if you have just a little to work with!! I’m a size 2 in other brands and size 2 seems to be perfect in these pants, true to size! I’m also 5’7 and these pants go just a little past my ankle so they're not too short or long. Definitely looking forward to buying it in more colors

Super contente de mon nouveau pantalon bleu marine. Il avantage la silhouette, car il monte haut et les jambes sont larges. Il est peut-être un peu trop long pour moi, je dois le porter avec de petits talons. J’aurai peut-être à le faire couper de 2 cm pour le mettre avec des souliers plats.

Sizing is so weird. I usually wear 4 in pants (effortless and tie front), but the waist on the pleated is soo small I could barely zip them... But the fit at hips and butt was good and then wayyy to big on the thighs. Will definitely return

I ordered both these and the effortless pants and for me, these were the clear winner. I usually wear size 24 or 25 in jeans and the size 2 in these pants was the right size, so these do run a bit small in the waist. These are extremely flattering even for my height 5'2' and I do hope Aritzia decides to offer additional colors in the short inseam. I appreciate the option of having the shorter inseam, and size "inclusivity" shouldn't just mean I only can buy pants in black ;)

10/10 quality. I’m an hourglass, and it fits my waist snug (27”) and my hips loose (38”). These pants are comfortable & perfect for office days, and casual hangouts.

Looks great ! Make me looks slim and talk. Love it . Just the size slightly smaller than my regular wears. I would recommend one size up.

These pants are my fav now. Lovely color and amazing fit. Its true to size. I am 5'6" and 158 lbs and I purchased size 10 fits me well.

Pros: Great alternative to Effortless Pant if you have wide hips/smaller waist. Pleating detail is more structured and very flattering. Material is thicker and holds irons/steams well. Cons: Fits smaller, had to size up 2 sizes for proper fit.

Got these for work and I feel unstoppable. I would get every single color. Just a little itty bitty wide on the hips (not waist).

Fabric is very comfortable, and the fit and length is perfect

I always get compliments on these pants. Great fit, color and comfortable

I love how well made these are. The fabric sits beautifully and looks really classy. I love the purple color too. I have a 30 inch waist and 40 inch hips too if that helps.

For reference, I am 5'1 and around 115lbs. I ordered the size 4 regular since Aritizia did not sell the color I wanted in short length. The pants fit well around my waist. However, they are EXTREMELY oversized and long. It almost looked like I was wearing diapers/a garbage bag. Not flattering/not classy at all. Moreover, the pants were about 30cm too long on me (not exaggerating), so they may only fit well on tall figures. These pants are being returned.
