Comments about 365 High Rise Pleated Trousers

I really liked the 365 High Rise Pleated Trousers from last year but they have been out of stock in petite sizes for several months now, so when these became available, I jumped on the purchase. Unfortunately, I don't like this version. The material is thinner and more see-through, and the pleating isn't as flattering. Last year's version was made of a more substantial fabric with a diagonal weave; while it seemed to be more prone to snagging (and other reviews mentioned seams unravelling), it was also less see through and draped better. Echoing the other reviewer: Dear Gap: these pants would be much improved if they were lined. However, I would also really welcome a new iteration of last year's (#855968) made of fabric that's equally substantial but doesn't snag as easily. I love the overall cut of these pants, but the changes aren't doing it any justice. For anyone wondering about other differences between this year's and last's: The other major difference is that last year's had an elastic waistband in the back; this year's does not have any elastic waistband. I feel neutral about this change. I tend to stay away from elastic waistbands on trousers because I think they look sloppy, but last year's version was really subtle, and I was okay with it. Other changes I see: this year's welts of the back welt pockets (the strips of fabric that frame the pocket opening) are narrower compared to last year's and the hook and bar closures are also slightly different. But I'm also neutral to both of these changes.

Gap is killing it for the tall girls. Love these trousers. Great fit and lengths

Very cute style and cut. I initially planned to use these pants as work pants but, as they are very see through in the light, I'll be returning them. Dear Gap: if these pants were lined, they would be perfect. Also, given the price, I am surprised that the fabric used is so thin and see through.
