I own 30+ pairs of jeans, but this 40%-off Anthropologie pair fits my petite frame best
Want to try them yourself? Now is a good time to do so, because they're 40% off and still available in a range of sizes.
Have you heard of Pilcro? It's one of Anthropologie's exclusive brands, and its jeans rarely go on sale. If they do, sizes are usually limited or they have a unique cut or embellishment. These are nearly half off in regular, tall, plus and petite sizes, which already feels like a miracle. But the fact that they're also made with a high-quality, denim-blend fabric that will stand the test of time and stretch over every curve? That's what makes these a great buy.
There are a lot of reasons I love these jeans. They're stretchy, but still have good structure and don't lose their shape when you wear them. They're incredibly soft — made with lyocell (also known as Tensel), which is a semi-synthetic fabric made from eucalyptus tree pulp that's usually pretty pricey. They have a high rise, but not too high. On my short torso, the waist falls just at my belly button. And the leg is perfectly straight — not skinny, not wide-legged, just straight.
They've become my go-to jeans. I've worn them while working from home on days when I feel like putting on something other than leggings. I can comfortably sit in them and still breathe (unlike some more rigid styles), they're a great length for wearing with sneakers, sandals and booties, and the wash is a universally flattering blue that goes with everything. One thing to note is their unfinished hem, which I don't mind but I know not everyone will love.
When it comes to length, these are an ankle jean. The regular inseam is 27.5 inches long, while the petite, plus and tall inseams are 25.5, 26.5 and 29.5 inches, respectively.
I can't recommend these jeans enough! I bought them a few months back when they were full-price, and now that they're on sale, I'm considering buying a second pair as backup for when these babies have to go in the wash.
Most shoppers love these Pilcro jeans as much as I do. Many buyers say they fit true to size, but others report them running both big and small, so it's a good idea to check the size and fit chart before ordering.
"They are so soft, perfect stretch and wear so well throughout the day," noted one shopper. "I absolutely love them. They're the only jeans I wear in my closet."
"I'm 5'2" and 123 pounds and the 27P fit perfectly," said a petite fan, adding: "I love that it doesn't stretch out so I can wear (it) on repeat and it still looks great."
"These jeans are worth every penny. They are as comfortable as any leggings and look polished. I will be buying more of these," raved a buyer.
A final fan added: "Being a plus-size girl it is hard to find cute trendy pants that fit. These are awesome. Super comfortable and a great fit!"
Some shoppers noted that the straight leg looked more flared than expected. "They are cute and I will wear them, but (they) kind of have a bell-bottom feel, which isn't my vibe," said a shopper, before adding, "They do may my toosh look pretty good, though."
"These are nice jeans, but I had to return (them) because I was looking for slightly longer jeans," said a 5'4" customer.
If you want to try the Annie jeans while they're on sale, do it while your size is still in stock. There aren't any other Pilcro jeans on sale with this many sizes available.
If you don't mind paying full price, The Scotty Cuffed High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans or The Slim Boyfriend Mid-Rise Relaxed Jeans are some other options that might work for you.

31 Surprisingly Stylish Pieces From Amazon
A bow-backed babydoll one could reasonably assume was from Anthropologie or J. Crew. It just screams, "I'm going to the Hamptons this weekend." An adorable tennis skort that will have you leaping for joy — without flashing anyone. Why? Because this amazing piece comes with A POCKET! A sheer lace-style top that you can wear under a dress or overalls for extra texture during the day or over a dark bralette for a sultry look at night. A pair of trendy mesh ballet flats that bear a striking resemblance to a certain Alaïa pair, but without you needing to take an extra mortgage out. Or a pair of mesh jelly sandals because I will not let you spend almost $800 on jellies. With these, you can try out the trend, let your tootsies breathe, and shout "Row, shmow!" A swimsuit with ruched sides and drawstrings that allow you to customize your fit, sort of like a corset. Reviewers like that the strings can change how much coverage you get, so you can adjust the look throughout the day. A pull-on midi skirt so you can finally pull off THE Instagram fashionista look: tied tee, chunky chain, Baggu crescent bag, sneaks, and this amazing skirt. And once you're sick of that look, you can style it a million other ways, from sandals to big boots. A comfy long-sleeve/short set that's the closest you're getting to wearing pajamas to the group hang. The stripes are SO cute, I wouldn't blame you if you wore these from bed to brunch. A pair of rhinestone cutout jeans you may have seen worn by a certain pop star at a certain football game. OK, not this exact pair — we're not all millionaires — but close enough! A chic lil' shoulder purse so you can feel as effortlessly cool as a Parisian without any of the risks that come with living in Paris — getting Ratatouille'd, for example. A lightweight crewneck cardigan sweater you can count on to keep you warm in the mornings and evenings when the sun isn't quite ready for the job. I would say this is a great choice for chilly offices, but we all know we need a full-on parka for that type of tundra. 🥶 A simple, reliable tank with a fun V-neck that spices up an otherwise normal basic. Despite its low price, customers are happy with the quality and fit. One reviewer said it feels "soft like satin or silk." Or if you'd prefer a crewneck (and maybe a fun pattern), a tank you'll be glad to have for every grocery store run, outdoor dinner, or intense mini golf game. Wear as a tunic with leggings, tuck it into some high-waisted pants, or — you know, what? You can kinda style this anyway you want. It's that versatile. A puffy sleeve top so darling, even teddy bears will get jealous. The square neckline is basically like a giant spotlight for your favorite necklace. Chunky ankle boots in a timeless sillouette to give any outfit a little edge and a lot of comfort. The elastic sides make it easy to throw these on, so I foresee these being your go-to boots. Breathable and machine-washable pointed-toe flats with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dingy, just toss 'em in the wash. A beautiful tennis bracelet no one has to know is actually made with zirconia. You just need to decide if you want yellow, white, or rose gold plating — or OK, all three. A layered necklace set with three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even your dog-walking uniform. Thanks to their gold plating, the necklaces are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them a great budget option when solid gold is out of the question. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better. And a scoop-neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs. A midi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal. A quilted floral jacket perfect for unpredictable weather. Can't complain about chilly mornings when it's an excuse to wear something this cute. A pair of crossover flared leggings providing a silhouette so enticing, you'll find yourself getting distracted every time you see your reflection. If the 5,800+ happy reviewers are to be believed, these pants are so comfortable, you'll be asking questions like, "can I wear these to a wedding?" And a super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too. A tie-front cropped shirt perfect for making your vacation pics even more memorable. Remember that time we went to the boardwalk and we couldn't go more than 10 steps because people kept complimenting you? A bodycon pencil dress because you can alwaaaays use another LBD. Whether it's formal or casual, it all comes down to the right accessories — love a do-everything piece! A large satin scarf that's so versatile, it'll likely be named "most worn" by You magazine. You can style it as a scarf, top, belt — or tie it around your bag when your tote wants to accessorize, too. High-waisted palazzo trousers because they offer all the comfort of sweats while still serving up major voted-best-dressed-in-high-school looks. A denim pencil skirt that goes with pretty much anything but is still special enough to get a ton of "where did you get that?"s. A stretchy faux-wrap tee if you're stuck in a T-shirt rut. You can still wear tees — this one is just a step in a new direction. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses so similar to Miu Miu, you could possibly trick friends into thinking you splurged on a $489 pair. Just be sure to correct them before they expect you to pay for lunch. A lantern-sleeve mini that says "Cinderella on a casual day" to me. Just look at those romantic puff sleeves and back ribbon that was definitely tied by birds! A tiered maxi skirt seen on many a Pinterest board. This dreamy chiffon number is double-layered, so it isn't see-through or likely to blow up in the wind. A lacey corset top that is basically screaming, "hey, can you take a picture of me?" Whether it's you at the trendy new cocktail bar or just picking up a coffee order, the likes are gonna come roooollllingg in. A square-neck cami proving that less is more. Pair it with some jeans and start aura farming! Reviewers rave that this basic feels high-end, citing the super soft, double-layered fabric and amazing fit. A cute faux-wrap dress for basically all occasions. One flight attendant says this dress is great for packing on trips, thanks to its lightweight material! Strappy chunky heels perfect for tearing it up on the dance floor this wedding season. Despite the solid, budget-friendly price, reviewers confirm there's no painful break-in period. A one-shouldered dress that's slightly toga-like, which gives you the perfect excuse to declare this your Italian summer. Someone needs to order you an olive plate and Aperol Spritz STAT. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts you should buy now before summer is in full swing and you're staring at your dresser wondering what you can put on that you won't sweat through in 90 seconds. These shorts + giant T-shirt = summer uniform. A crescent bag that perfectly straddles the line between formal and casual. I can easily see you wearing this cutie every darn day! A cross-strap bikini totally worth the unusual tan lines you might get from wearing it. Picturing you and this swimsuit taking long romantic walks on the beach. :')

Everyone's Wearing This Sleek Office Trend—Even Off the Clock
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. I have a real problem with staying in bed longer than I should, and it's because I dread getting up and figuring out what the hell to wear to work. This summer, in particular, has been extra tricky due to relentless heat waves. So I pay close attention to what other people are wearing—on the subway, on the street, in the office cafeteria, or even on my Instagram feed. I'm desperate for inspiration. Recently, I've been seeing a ton of shirtdresses. The Best Shirtdresses Shopping List Does it count as a lightbulb moment if the idea isn't mine? After counting about 10 of these dresses in the last month, I figured out why so many stylish women are reaching for them. They're workplace-friendly and typically lightweight, helping keep you cool. And best of all, a shirtdress is what I like to call a 'one-and-done ensemble,' which is exactly what it sounds like. You don't have to think about the right top to pair with those slacks, for instance. See? One and done. Now, imagine me hunting for the right one to buy. Just when I think I've landed on the perfect number from Anthropologie, I notice that the model in the picture is holding a copy of ELLE's January 2023 issue starring Lily-Rose Depp. A wild coincidence, obviously, but it feels like a sign from the universe. Plus, I'm starting to think this is the ultimate transition staple. Whether you go for mini, midi, or maxi and short versus long sleeves, the right one can carry you well into the fall. Below, shop the best shirtdresses now. Why Trust ELLE Every product featured on is independently researched, tested, or editor-approved.

I Tried The Viral Maeve Styles Everyone's Obsessed With
Ever notice that many of Anthropologie's best-selling and reader-favorite products come from one brand in particular? A brand that we highlighted years ago for its iconic Colette styles? That would be one of the retailer's in-house labels: Maeve — and now it's really time for it to shine. As of yesterday, Maeve is now a standalone brand, with a dedicated space on Anthropologie's site and plans for in-person retail stores. Much like Anthropologie's other labels, like Pilcro and Celandine, Maeve has a signature style. Its ethos? More is more! The brand doesn't shy away from statement-making pieces and is particularly known for its vibrantly colored Colette pants and boldly printed shirtdresses. It also offers extended sizing, including petite, tall, plus, and adaptive features. So, in celebration of Maeve's milestone (and new fall-ready collection), we took a stroll down memory lane of all the brand's bestsellers (tops and shoes, included!). Ahead, I try many of Maeve's top-rated styles — some ranked as high as 4.7 stars or with 3,679 reviews — to see what all the hype is about and which ones deserve a spot in your shopping cart.
