The moment I saw these pants online at J.Crew's website, I just knew it was a "love it or leave it" kind of item. ;) As LeoGrl6787 mentioned in regards to these pants (in the "J.Crew Email: The Long Cardi" post), "Whoaaaa!"

First, I love love love the cut of the university pant. I just adore the style of the wide leg that really does give a "longer, leaner, taller silhouette". :)

So where do I think these pants went wrong? Mainly the "shimmering, fluid fabric" which is described as: "Made with extrafine metallic yarns, it moves like liquid silver and has an unusually soft, silky finish. Italian wool with a bit of giveand silvery Lurex metallic threads." Liquid silver? To be honest, I don't even know what that term means. ;) I feel like the materials of this pant would draw unnecessary attention to my bum (when viewed from behind). This is something I definitely would not want my pants to do.

Overall, I much prefer the Favorite-fit wool twill university pant (Item 96135; Regular $139.50). I guess I am just plain boring in that I like both the camel and heather charcoal version way more than the liquid silver one. ;)

What do you think of the Favorite-fit silvered-tweed university pant? Do you like them or would you leave them? Do you own these pants? If so, please let us know what you think! :)
