Winner, winner, chicken dinner :)
Even better than the last pair. Longer, wider, snugger fit on the hips and waist, cute pockets! LOVE the front 11.5 inch high rise.
Style: Maeve: The Colette

Longer and wider on me than on the model.
Wearing them with burgundy and cream today. Sorry, just this fast pic! Busy day.

Angie, that is fast work! They’re fantastic!
Suz replied 1 year ago
Love them! This is the same style as the cords and velvet pants that you've recommended in the past. I really like this cut on you! And it seems to work really well across a range of body types also.

I bought these in olive green ponte knit a couple of weeks ago . Haven’t even tried them on yet - lol. It’s the footwear issue that’s holding me up. These are so great on you ! Not many women can wear orange faux leather pants but you sure can !

Absolutely perfect on you!

Whee! There will always be a place in your closet for these.
Irina replied 1 year ago
Yes! Perfect!
I got these in orange cotton mix but they are too big. Waiting for a smaller size to arrive.
Yay! The pockets and button are so good :)
Bonnie replied 1 year ago
They look better than you than on the model!
Angie replied 1 year ago
Thanks so much, everyone! Yes, it was a fast and fab replacement :)
Suz, good eye and memory. The Colette is a good fit for many it seems. I have white jeans in the same cut, and they are sublime! I hope you're able to try them in Vancouver.
LJP, eager to see yours!
Irina, do you mean these in orange - I have my eye on them too!
Yay!

Beautiful! I like them even better than the other pair.
Sal replied 1 year ago
Love these on you Angie - they look terrific!
CarolS replied 1 year ago
Yes, even better than the original! So glad you found such a perfect replacement.
bella replied 1 year ago
Yay! They look very good, what a happy replacement story!
Angie replied 1 year ago
Thanks so much, everyone! YES, they are even better than the old - and more comfy than the old pair. I'm wearing them with a very happy heart :)
Also: I noticed that my body heat takes away the creases in pleather. Interesting....
Joy replied 1 year ago
Body heat also removes any creases in leather. Are these pull on? What is the in-seam length?
Nadya replied 1 year ago
So glad they’re even better than the retired pair!
I’m telling you, I think Maeve the Colette are magic pants. I’m long waisted, wear a size 20, a very different shape than Angie, and they’re my favorite pants. I have four pairs!
Angie replied 1 year ago
Joy, not pull on. Half elastic at the back, and zipper fly with button in front. Inseam length on mine is 26 inches, size 25. It will lengthen as you go up in sizes.
Angie replied 1 year ago
Nadya, you are soooo right! The Colette by Maeve - Anthropologie house brand - IS a magical fit! So far it has fit every client who has tried it across sizes 00 to 20. Some size down, and some up. Fabric varies too. You have amassed a KILLER collection! Gorgeous on you!
I have two pairs in The Colette: orange pleather, and white denim. LOVE :)
kkards replied 1 year ago
Yay!
and Nadya thanks for the review will keep this style on my radar

Gosh, these are fun!! I like them better than your first pair! Can’t wait to see how you style them.
Joy replied 1 year ago
Thank you for you reply, Angie. These pants.will be fun.
Sisi replied 1 year ago
What a luck! As others have already said, these look even better! So glad for you.
lyn67 replied 1 year ago
Love these, I always loved cropped widelegs a bit longer(akas 7/8?), too!!
Angie replied 1 year ago
Thanks everyone! I like a happy ending :)
Jonesy replied 1 year ago
Fabulous replacement! I am such a lover of the half-elastic back feature in pants--it is hidden for the most part and makes them so much more comfy!
Inge replied 1 year ago
Woohoo!! So glad you found these, Angie and that you love them even more than the first pair!! They look stunning on!
Angie replied 1 year ago
You're all sooooo nice! Thank you :)
I think I'll wear the pants again today.....
JP replied 1 year ago
I'm late to this post... Gorgeous pair. I just saw your post about the other pair, ouch, but as you said the happy ending is great! Enjoy your new pants.
I ordered and returned 3 pairs of faux leather pants this year. I didn't like the fit of any of them on me...I will need to try this brand or DIY a pair instead.
Angie replied 1 year ago
JP, yes, try them! Maybe you shan't need to make them :)
Dana replied 1 year ago
Fab!!!! I wanted the violet Collette, but I'm really in between sizes in the pleather.
Angie replied 1 year ago
Oh dear, Dana :(
Worth an alteration perhaps?
The perfect color, the perfect fit, amazing! Enjoy that chicken dinner!
MsMaven replied 1 year ago
Not only do these look great, they look comfortable as well. I love the thought that body heat irons out wrinkles.
Angie replied 1 year ago
Thank you! The new pair are very comfy, a better fit, and I wear them more frequently :)
Dana replied 1 year ago
Oops, I forgot to come back to this thread. Angie, I didn't like the faux leather enough to have them altered...not sure what it was. I have a summer print Collette that I'm sure I'll have altered when it's time to wear them...they stretched just a little too much last summer.
Angie replied 1 year ago
Dana, rest assured that faux leather does not stretch out ;)
