Ask Allie: Ankle Pants for Curvy Cusp Sized Women

By Wardrobeoxygen
I love the Kady pant from ELOQUII, but I'm losing weight. The things I like about the Kady pant include the perfect ankle length, the variety of colors that keep being introduced, the versatility of the pant (work appropriate and casual appropriate too), and the cut that makes room for a curvy gal's figure. Do you have any recommendations for a [cusp-sized] vendor that can come close to the attributes of the Kady?

I haven't tried the Kady yet, but you're not the first to tell me the pant is utter perfection. Now that ELOQUII has short and long lengths and size 12, I may pull the trigger and try them this year. I asked around and did a bit of research and these brands seem to have pants that are similar in fabric, cut, and rave reviews as the ELOQUII Kady ankle pant:

  • The "Kate" Ankle pant from Ann Taylor is popular, comes in a variety of colors, and seems to continue after more than one season. A bonus, this pant also comes in petite and tall
  • The 'Richmond" 7/8 pant from Boden is another ankle pant that is a similar concept. They get great reviews and seem to have the style year-round in a variety of prints, colors, and even fabrics
  • The "Paley" pant from J. Crew is another perennial fave. Right now they seem low on selection but I wouldn't be surprised if by late February they have a bunch of different colors and prints in stock
Readers, do you have a favorite ankle pant that flatters a curvy feature? Do share in the comments!
