The pants are comfortable and the fabric is nice and doesn’t wrinkle easily…I love the high waist design. Be warn that there are no pockets at all…I think it’s a good thing for the appearance part when you wear it since the pants will look nice without the open pockets. The size is smaller than your other pants though. For example, I ‘m 5’6 and 145lbs and I’m usually wear size US 6/size M pants…But for this pant, size Large fit me perfectly.

These pants are about a size smaller than what I expected. I generally run between a medium and a large depending on the brand. I got the large, but it felt like a tight medium, so I would suggest sizing up from what you generally get! The pants are cute and flattering. I like the high waist and the pleats on the top, it was a great detail. They hit right above my ankle and look great with ballet flats and heels. They are professional and great for business wear. The fabric seems solid and they are well constructed. I wish that they had a little more give so that I could wear these.

Amazing! These look very similar to a pair of pants I purchased from a popular European brand. These fit amazing, I love them. I did go up one size but they fit just as I would like, plus I typically size up in F21 anyway. These are excellent quality pants and well made. Highly recommend!

Forever 21 really said, “Let’s make dress pants that actually *work*,” and they delivered. These Pleated High-Rise Pants are everything you want in a versatile, polished staple—and maybe just a bit more. They fit like they were made specifically for you, nailing that high-rise cut that gives your waist the spotlight it deserves.Let’s talk about the vibe for a second. The pleats and straight-leg cut are the ultimate combo of modern meets classic—basically, you’ll look like you know what you’re doing in life. The fabric? It’s high-quality enough to give “fancy pants” energy but without making your wallet cry. The stitching is giving attention-to-detail, so they’re not just cute; they’re built to last.The length is *chef’s kiss*—not too long, not awkwardly short—just a flattering, clean finish. And can we take a moment for the back notched detail at the waist? Who knew a tiny design touch could make you feel so put together? Oh, and that concealed hook-and-bar closure? It’s the kind of subtle, elevated detail that whispers, “These are *not* your average fast-fashion pants.”At $27 for an XS, the price is... okay. Not a “stop what you’re doing and buy ten pairs” deal, but fair considering the premium look and decent quality. Think of these as an investment in looking effortlessly chic.If you’re ready to serve tailored confidence, these pants are calling your name. They’ll have you strutting like a main character the second you zip them up. A win for your wardrobe, no notes!

My measurements will never all land in the same size category, I am built like an inside out hourglass. In this case my waist put me in an XL at 33 inches and my hips in a S at 36 inches. When that happens I would normally order a L but, like other reviewers mentioned, this brand is known to run on the smaller side and I hate to have pants too tight in the waist so I went with the XL. I expected them to be baggy in the hips, but they were sadly too big everywhere. There was about an extra inch in the waist. These are really nice pants, quality fabric and stitching, at least compared to what I normally wear, and would be perfect to dress up or down. I am going to see if my daughter can wear them since she has beautiful curves.

These pants are made of good quality material ! High waisted as advertised and yes they are tight at the waist . The pleated top of the pants gives a nice look and coverage to any insecurity that might be in that section . The pockets are faux and are just style not use . The length was longer then I anticipated but still all together these look sharp , chic and can be worn in the office , dinners , anywhere business attire is appropriate. The waist is super tight even when I ordered a size up I usually order a small ordered a medium it’s still tight but can be worn . For reference I’m 5’5 125-130 lbs and the medium fit tight in the waist and longer in length. I do appreciate them have secure buttons , zippers and clasps for the waist bc with that tightness it’s needed!

Unfortunately, these runs super small. The design is very cute and the material is thick and good quality. I would recommend ordering up a size or two based on the waist measurement. I ordered a L but they are about two size. I am a 10 normally in women's pants or a medium and large. I am 55 and they hit right above my ankle. The waist is super high so keep in mind if you're someone who wants something that sits below their ribs. Also, there is minimal stretch so not great for curves.
