Lucy Low-Rise Pants : One Size Can Fit All

It's rare that two of our testers can fit into the same garment, but Lucy's Low-Rise Pant has changed the way we look at fitness gear!

Here's what 5'2" Jill has to say:

Have you ever found a piece of clothing that fits so well you wish you had an endless supply? Such a perfect synchronicity of fit, style, and function doesn’t happen very often for me, but the Lucy Low-Rise Pant is just one of those rare finds.

Besides being very comfortable and versatile, these pants are also flattering. The soft, stretchy microfiber jersey fabric doesn’t bind or catch, but just falls sleekly off my hips. Billed as a multi-purpose fitness pant (great, say, for yoga, working out at the gym, pilates, or power walks), I’ve been wearing these pants everywhere for everything. I have to restrain myself from wearing them to work EVERY DAY (I need to order a few more pairs in different colors). They also teamed great with a satin camisole and sheer blouse that I wore to an office holiday soirée –  très elegante!

Another great thing about the low-rise pant is that they're available in three different lengths. Sisters, do you know how hard it is to find a decent fitting pant that doesn’t require hemming when you’re only 5’2” and NOT blessed with a curvaceous, small waist? My low-rise pants are size M, short length (for women 5' 3" and under). Great fit.

Here's what 5'11" Erika has to say:

I'm with JIll all the way on the style and multi-function points. I wear these straight-leg pants for yoga and power walks, but like to let them double as dress pants, too. A big thank you to Lucy for making logo-free gear! The best thing about these pants--I tested a size M, long length--they're actually long enough for me. I can never find fitness gear that's long enough. I've been walking around in flood pants most of my life. Finally, I, too, can have beautiful, fit-just-right pants. And I love the lower waist on this style. I pair these pants with Lucy's Energy Half-Zip top (pictured above), a comfy, lightweight half-zip long sleeve shirt. I wear this wicking top for yoga and as a base layer under a fleece for cold weather power walks. This top, and a zip-free version called the Cool Down top, are both on sale now.

Who needs the traveling pants?! If you're short, or tall, just average height, we can all wear the same pants! Check out lucy.com !

Bottom Line: I’m wearing my Lucy low rise pants right now as I write this. I wore them to work today. I wore them on a hike last Sunday. Triple thumbs up for comfort, style, and flexibility.--J.I. (Jan 06)
