I wear skirts and dresses a lot, mostly because it's hard to hide the parts of my body that I dislike the most with pants.
The Knotty Pants have helped me step out of my firmly planted comfort zone.
When I signed up for this test I didn't know what the pants entailed. I just knew they were pants. Thankfully I trust Halla designs though and knew they would be fantastic!
I wasn't disappointed whatsoever. In fact I'm so enamored with them that I've made FOUR pairs!
For a girl that loves dresses, that's a lot of pants!
These pants are stretch denim from Zenith and Quasar. I sized up in these because the stretch wasn't quite enough for my normal size. I also had to adjust just a little bit more for my height due to a lack of vertical stretch. I added my usual 3" (1" in the rise, 1" above the knee, 1" below the knee.) and then because my inseam is 35.25" and these are drafted for quite a bit shorter than that I accommodated accordingly.
My very favorite part of these pants is that my photographer...a.k.a. my daughter said "These pants make your butt look small!" I could have kissed her! My rear is one of my least liked assets. It's the one I try to hide the most.
The Knotty Pants help me feel confident in my body. That's a HUGE plus for a pattern in my opinion!
The other positive is the "Knotty" part of the pants!
They can be tied and worn near the ankles, higher up like Capri's or at the knees like Bermuda shorts (like I have my Cotton Lycra Pants from Knitpop tied in the picture below).
I live in the desert. It's hot, really hot in the summer, and these Cotton Lycra Knotty Pants are light and airy.
Comfort doesn't even begin to describe how I feel in these pants.
I want to LIVE in them! I *may* live in them more than I'll admit on the internet.
Seriously, look at the comfort of them!
I made a pair of Double Brushed Poly from Elevated Fashion Fabrics, Distressed French Terry from Mily Mae, Stretch Denim from Zenith and Quasar and Cotton Lycra from Knitpop.
I love every pair!
And now, the nitty gritty:
The Knotty Pants are ON SALE!
We all like sales...right?!?!?!
They're on SALE until 6/23 at 11:59 PST
In fact, the WHOLE site is 20% off...
I love Halla!
