Perfect for me

Straight leg pant that is not too tight or loose. The OOP is such a comfortable fit that I want to wear them now even though it's winter and freezing cold. This pant will be my spring and summer go to since it is twill rather than denim. The elastic waist prevents gapping in the back waist. The shadow is my favorite color and have ordered and waiting for other colors to arrive. Since I am only 5" 1", this pant fits a smidge longer than shown on the picture. Finally a W&W pant I am not returning. In fact, I have stocked up on several pairs.

Poorly made pants

I have never had this happen with Wit and Wisdom pants, but this pair just totally fell apart. After the first time worn, the button fell off the front. I was able to fix them and then the rivot fell off the back pocket. I follow care instructions to the letter. On the 2nd wash, the button fell off again and the back of the pants just start to disintegrate. Maybe I got a bad pair? Not sure.. but after wearing them 3 times, they are in the trash. Wit and Wisdom - do better!

Not as described?…a bit of a confusing listing

Not straight leg…more of a kick flare. I ordered 3 colors in regular length, but I’m wondering if they shipped petites as they hit at lower mid-calf. Just too short for me. A little too extra-roomy in the waist and crotch. The fabric is great! Wish they were longer.

easy and comfy

Love the fit, especially the hidden elastic waistband which keeps them up, instead of creeping down since they have a little stretch. Was concerned the white might be too lightweight, but it’s perfect. Appreciate the roomier calf for comfort.

so comfy!

Very comfy and slimming pants made me feel secure and comfortable. Also I don’t like ankle pants because I’m short so ordered them in regular size and they fit normal length!

Excellent, but size down

I usually wear a 14 in pants, but for this brand I size down to 12. Great fabric, easy care, terrific cut so I look slimmer.

great fit for curves!

I love wit and wisdom, but they run large! I size down from 12 to a 10. A little tight but stretch makes them very forgiving. They will stretch out after a while. I've worn these for 10 years and eventually I retire the pairs that get too baggy. Brindle olive is my favorite color - it's a great neutral. I have a small waist but a booty that sticks out. These pants are perfect for my curves! I'm loving the high rise style. It nips in at the waist just right, and holds in my belly.
