I had an idea of what to expect with ‘brushed cotton’ so I wasn’t surprised when they had that sort of ‘pyjama’ feel to them, I am however, a bit shocked at just how thin they are (i’ve had brushed cotton pjs that’s are thicker than these before). I got these on sale and I like them but the thinness of them leaves me questioning the quality a bit. As the sale price point feels high for the quality on these, I would have been extremely disappointed with them if I had paid full price. I’ve just received them and I already feel myself worrying about how long they’ll last as the fabric feels so flimsy.
On sizing, I was a bit worried when ordering because i had read quite a few reviews saying that they ran small/ they were too tight in places. I ordered my normal size and have had the opposite issue, these are much looser in the waist than I expected them to be, especially as I’ve had a few different styles from Lucy & Yak and have always bought the same size which had tended to run a bit tight on me. So it was a bit surprising to have these be so loose on the waist when other people had reported them running small, I think this might be indicative of some pretty significant sizing inconsistencies. This is a bit disappointing as well because this style doesn't have any belt loops. The oversized effect that IS intended (in the hips and trouser legs) looks really good though!
All that said, the actual silhouette of these trousers is great; i will be getting my wear out of them, I just don’t expect that they’ll last very long. The style and look of them is really cool and they definitely have the potential to be lovely trousers; these just happen to be a bit disappointing. I would still consider buying a different fabric version of these in the future as I would like to hope that the quality issue on these isn’t true of all of the trousers in the beau silhouette (based on the amount of stellar reviews, i’d imagine some of the beau trousers are perfect)
