J Crew Pixie pants or Boden Bistro Crops

[truelymadlysleepy]

I'm looking for some navy spring trousers that are smarter than my usual jeans & leggings, but not formal.
I've got long 35" legs & a horrible muffin top.
Happy to pay a bit more for a flattering fit.

Any ideas?

I've not tried the j crew but have been really pleased with my boden bistro crops. I'm quite pear shaped but find these to really flatter my thighs. They are high cut so hold my tummy in too.

you cant buy something called a pixie pant

Greta I share your objection, however I'm sure the name tag won't be visible
The BR website is confusing me. They say they do long but I can't find any.

I have two pairs of the pixie pants - brought one on whim when I was in the states and I loved them so much I brought another pair.

I love wearing them as an alternative to jeans but I do usually wear them with longer tops / jumpers / tunics as they have a zip on the bum which isn't the greatest. But fit wise they are thick enough to hold everything in, and the fabric keeps its shape etc and are dressy enough to wear with some heels for a smart casual look.

Thanks Mitchell, would you say they were thicker than leggings?

Yes a lot thicker than normal leggings - kind of like jodhpurs?

Great, I'll order some & report back.
Are there any discount codes flying about?

I have the Boden bistro full length jobbies, have a 33.5" inside leg, got long and they are more than long enough. They are very flattering.
Very different to the J Crew pixie things, totally different style.

love love love my pixie pants! They go with everything and make me feel much more put together than jeggings or leggings but are just as comfortable. I would recommend sizing down if you want a snug fit. When I got them there was 25% off with code thankyou I think. My cousin who is a shade over 6 foot has the tall version and was really happy with the length.
