Did I overwrite about High Sport pants? Probably. So come for my side-eye curiosity and stay for the swooning over Alan Cumming. It's called range people! Look it up.
Long time follower and fan and just have to say, I am obsessed with your Substack and these emails make me beyond happy. I get sort of OG Lucky Magazine vibes with all of the shopping reccos. The only problem is the volume of Ecom shopping carts I’m building (and eventually buying). As a busy mom living in a particularly uninspired season, reading your newsletter lets me indulge my first loves of fashion and beauty without leaving the couch. Please keep it up! Xo Grace Ps. Can’t wait for the high sport dupe review!
I’m sitting out the HS craze since I’ve lived through earlier iterations of this style. But that’s also why the term “dupe” (which I normally wouldn’t like either) seems inapplicable here. HS makes a beautiful pair at a high price point but didn’t really invent the style?
I found Ann Mashburn from WSJ weekend section and they are my dream pant (5’7” curves/muscular thighs). I’ve worn them dressed up with a blazer and heels and flown transatlantic in them. Price point is also on point!
for 2% of the cost of the high sport pants, i’ve surprisingly liked the old navy version (https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=530549032) - which was a substack find (can’t remember where). tried the everlane ones and did not like the side zip.
I love my High Sports, but decided to buy the Ann Mashburn pair after reading about them in YOLO. I returned them...they just don't have the same proportions as the HS (the flare on the HS really balances out the hips/booty, while the AM is a bit more narrow and ultimately not as flattering). Interested to read your thoughts!
I too have been obsessing over this topic! I tried the old navy ones and they were ok but I didn't see myself wearing them much so returned. My body type is similar to yours so very interested in what you come up with!!
Loeffler Randall makes a similar pant named Jeanne. They have a side zip so might not be a contender but I'd be interested how they compare. They have a pretty espresso color.
Thank you for your newsletter! Slightly different pants category but very interested to hear your views on Ninepine and Kiragrace. They are all over my social media. Thank you!!!
$900 for a pull-on stretch pant is plain silly, but boy have I been tempted!! Very happy with my Anthro Margot Kick Flare Cropped Pants, give them a try. $98 and lots of colors/patterns. Can't wait for your review, thanks!
Alan Cumming on Traitors is EVERYTHING! His outfits, his theatrics...LOVE! Season 1 is AMAZING if you ever get to watching...the Traitors play it very differently than they do in this seez. That's all I'll say but both seasons are FAB!!!!!
Looking forward to your try-on review for the HS-like pants haul! J Crew released their version the Demi-Boot Cropped Sweater Pants if you haven't tried them already.
I second someone's comment about wallet recommendations. I too am looking for a compact everyday but elegant black wallet.
Have you shared your thoughts on the updated classic ballet flat? Looking for those as well!

I'm new to your space and enjoying it. Can you explore black flat mules?

The Donni pants are maybe my favorite piece of clothing I own.
I would love a post about wallets please! Currently looking for the perfect small wallet and desperately need recommendations.
