Let me start by saying these pants are a *vibe*. The moment I slipped into the high-waisted, baggy silhouette with that dangling chain detail, I felt like I could strut down a streetwear runway. The lightweight material is surprisingly breathable—perfect for dancing at concerts or just lounging on a hot day. And yes, the pockets are REAL and actually functional (a rarity in fashion pants!).

But here’s the tea: that trendy chain? It’s *fragile*. Mine snapped during the first wash (lesson learned: always remove it before laundry). I ended up replacing it with a sturdier one from a craft store—now it’s chef’s kiss. Also, the fabric feels... unconventional. It’s thin, almost like raincoat material, which took some getting used to. Not ideal for winter, but great for summer festivals.

Fit-wise, they run true to size but hug the hips oddly if you’re curvy (I’m 5’5", 185lbs—the Large fit my waist but flattened my silhouette). Pro tip: Size up if you want a looser look or plan to layer. Oh, and air-dry these! The waistband stretches out over time, so I added DIY belt loops. Still, for the price? Worth it for the confidence boost alone.
