American Apparel Disco Pants: Finally In Love

Ok, story time kids! So I'm sure all of you have heard by now about the American Apparel disco pants. They are the clothing item sweeping the internet and causing a craze for anything shiny and high-waisted. I was intrigued by the pants, but I didn't know if they would look good on my body type, since I'm more of a curvier girl compared to the stick-think american apparel models.

So one day, me and my familly were in nyc, and I happened to come accross the american apparel warehouse sale going on. When I walked in, I knew I had to find a pair of disco pants. After much searching, I found a select few of them. They only had gold in the size that I thought would fit (my first choice was black). I tried them on and they fit... but they didn't really have that classic "disco pants look" that I was hoping for. They were kind of baggy in the legs and didn't really suck my tummy in all the way. They still looked like cool golden pants, and I thought the next size down wouldn't fit. They were only $40 and I felt rushed because we wanted to stop by other stores, so I just got them.

Fast forward to this summer. I had worn my disco pants several times to school and I liked them, but I just wasn't in love with them. As the day wore on, they would get baggy around the waist too and not look very flattering. Then one day I was reading a review on the pants on another blog, and they suggested sizing down in disco pants, because they do stretch  even though they may seem like a struggle to get on at first. EUREKA! I realized that I bought the next size too big. So I had some money from working and I decided to order the disco pants in black, like I had originally wanted, but in one size down. Well they came today, and OMG. I am in love. Finally, they suck me in and give me that 70's high-waisted vibe! They're even tighter around the legs and ankles, so they look even better in shoes! Here are some pictures!

 

 

 

here they are with converse...

...and with docs

 

They were a bit of a struggle to get on, but once I finally got them zipped up, they fit like a glove! I'm sure they'll look even better with my litas or foxy's to compliment the 70's vibe. These pants were really expensive, but they're totally worth it. People call them glorified leggings, but I think they're much thicker than leggings and such good quality. I saw a couple of dupes of the disco pants from this uk brand called glamorous here. They are a lot cheaper than the AA disco pants, but I've seen them on girls, and they look like very thin material, almost more like a literal lycra leggings.

 

Well guys, all in all, I would highly recommend the American Apparel disco pants, and I would DEFINITELY reccommend sizing down. See you gusy soon!
