I have been looking for new pants all summer long, and I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw these gorgeous, high-waisted slacks from Vince. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen two weeks ago that I split my favorite pair of summer pants while chasing my cat around the forbidden rooms of our home. I went in for the deep squat, snatched him by the belly, and RIPPPP! These comfy genie pants will surely be missed, but I appreciate the opportunity to shop for something new and these may be just the right replacement!

You see, what’s been hard lately is that every store seems to be selling trendy cropped pants rather than the longer styles I prefer. I’m not short, but cropped pants make me look short and stubby, so like my Pops, I prefer the classic shapes that will never go out of style. I know this pair is well on the expensive side of the wallet, but Vince is one of the few fashion companies where I find the tailoring is just right. In this case, I’d rather trade five pairs of ill-fitting, just-alright-quality slacks for one pair of well-made pants that I wear for ten years. And these are surely a gorgeous pick!
