Two of my favorite pastimes: taking a stroll on a sunny day, and using invented adjectives to describe my clothes. So imagine my excitement earlier this week when I got to take a walk in the park wearing my drapey pants. I was happy to discover that J. Crew actually calls pants like these “drapey.” It’s not just me. And I think, as a general rule, what’s OK with Jenna Lyons should be OK with society as a whole. The Crew actually has a bunch of different pants they call “drapey” (see them all here) and they might be my new favorite thing. I know this style won’t magically fit and flatter everyone, but an elastic waist eliminates all the issues I have with big gaps in my waistband when the hips are snug. This is not a slow dance at a the Immaculate Heart Middle School – I don’t need to leave room for the Holy Spirit. (I worship Jenna Lyons anyway.)
