I own 30+ pairs of jeans, but this 40%-off Anthropologie pair fits my body best

Yahoo16-04-2025
I hate jean shopping! Honestly, I don't know anyone who actually enjoys trying on all the different styles. That said, I own over 30 pairs of jeans. Yes, I know it's a lot, but I guess you could say I've built up my collection while on a quest to find my holy grail pair. Like plenty of other people, I've compromised on a few things when buying denim, like getting long pants hemmed or washing or drying them on high heat and hoping they'll shrink to the perfect size. However, I have to share: I finally found a pair of jeans that fit just right! I'm 5'2" and Anthropologie's Pilcro Annie High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans are my most comfortable, best-fitting jeans to date.
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.

15 home decor deals to transition your space from summer to fall — shop deals from Anthropologie, Home Depot and more

We're still in the thick of summer — and while I'm certainly not wishing the season away, I have to admit that I am pretty excited for fall. Sure, cooler weather would be a treat, but what I'm most looking forward to is the cozy fall decor I'm already imagining sprinkling throughout my home. Although some interior decor can cost a pretty penny, updating your home doesn't need to deplete your bank account. Case in point: I've found plenty of discounted items — courtesy of retailers like Home Depot, Anthropologie, Wayfair and more — to help you transition your home from summer to fall. So, whether you're looking to add some new throw pillows to your couch or invest in some new fall bedding, I've rounded up the items that I would add to my own home for the season ahead. Keep scrolling to check them out. Curtains can get expensive, fast. But these airy, sheer pieces start at just $9. These single panels go up in price as the size increases, but even the extra-long, 120-inch length won't run you more than $12. Layer these or use them to softly filter light; reviewers say they wash surprisingly well, and "once ironed, they look just as good as more expensive brands. Would definitely buy again." If you're after extra storage for your throws, kids' toys or even shoes, this rope basket is a great buy. Designed from a soft, woven cotton, it comes with handles for sturdy access. It also looks attractive in a neutral white and brown color, and will blend in nicely with your home interiors. Whether you're looking for a decorative throw for your couch or you need an extra layer of warmth for your bed, this fleece blanket is a must-have for cooler temperatures. The shaggy Sherpa blanket features a timeless checkered pattern and the utmost coziness. It comes in two different throw sizes or sizes to fit a twin, queen and king bed. Give your home the coziest of ambiances this fall when you light up this set of flameless candles. The set comes with 3 candles that feature fairy lights and are topped with a bulb that imitates a real burning flame. They provide a warm white glow and come with a remote to control them. You can also set them on a timer so you don't have to remember to turn them on and off. The best part is that you don't have to worry about the risk of a real fire. It doesn't get much more elegant than these metal candlesticks. They come in five different unique shapes and sizes so you can easily mix and match. They are sure to add a touch of sophistication to your tabletop. The Small size is now down to $24, while the Large is $34. Hoping to update your bedding with some fall sheets? Look no further than this sheet set that will elevate the elegance of any bed. Available in a plethora of colors, the sheet set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases. It delivers exceptional softness for restful sleep all year round thanks to its breathable fabric. The sheets are available in all bed sizes. Add some luxury to your couch or bed with this luxe linen throw pillow. It's super soft and this dark yellow hue is perfect for transitioning into fall. It's sure to add a pop of color to your couch or bed. If you love plants, but don't have a green thumb, this artificial olive tree is a good bargain. With its trunk made from natural wood, and silk leaves and fruits, it looks just like the real thing. Plus, it's a lot easier to maintain and last longer than a real tree! The ideal decor feature for any room or balcony. If you're after a comfortable stool or footrest with storage, this round ottoman is a great buy. Upholstered from a tufted, faux leather with wooden feet, it also supports a capacity of up to 250lbs. This is practical yet stylish way to conceal clutter and add cozy decor to your home to get ready for fall. This modern accent table is perfect for placing next to your couch. Dress it up with a lamp or flower arrangement, or use it as a cocktail table. Made of gleaming metal, the petite round table is a standout anywhere it's placed. With gold-finished legs and sherpa upholstery, this storage bench adds plenty of style to your space. But that's not all — it also adds function. The surface easily comes off, allowing extra room to tuck away throw blankets, books, clothes or toys depending on where you decide to place it. Personally, I want one for every room! From one of Loloi's best-selling collections, this Harlequin number from design duo Chris Loves Julia is 41% off if you need a 5'x7' flooring foundation. But every other size offering features some discount or another. This soft, hook-loomed wool rug stuns, but that does mean it requires a bit more care — be sure your beater bar is up when vacuuming and be prepared for shedding. Hoping to update your bedding? This luxurious, hand-woven linen and cotton duvet cover is the perfect choice. It features timeless patterns with neutral colors for a classic look that will match any decor. It's available in sizes Twin through California King. This accent chair will look sophisticated in just about any living room, den or office. Wrapped in faux-leather upholstery, the chair features a traditional wingback design and rests on four angled iron legs for an industrial modern look. "Love this mirror shape," one reviewer writes of this wavy number. The metal finish, with a bit of antique flourish, paired with a hefty weight (30 pounds!) speaks to the quality of this piece. It measures in at 35 inches high and 24 inches wide.

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.
