Wide-Leg Khaki Pants Are Back. For Real This Time. – WSJ

The pants are huge. Sales have been, too.

After years of edging into the mainstream, wide-leg trousers are officially back according to at least one metric: J.Crew s Giant-Fit Chino Pant is completely sold out online. An early hit of the mall brand s recent refresh, the baggy, off-the-thigh pants have a leg opening nearly 50% wider than its standard slim-cut chinos.

J.Crew wouldn t share how many were produced, but following their release in July, the giant chinos became one of J.Crew Men s three bestselling products, the company said.

Good thing I didn’t throw out my old pants from the ’80s, eh? And I’m keeping my frayed old T-shirts, too. Xoxo. (This is a note to LWJ.)
