XCVI Reviews
I love these pants! The main reason for this love is the flattering look.. really flattering, like I lost five pounds. Also the light fabric and the comfort of the waist. I can wear any top with it without my flesh hanging over the waist band...hence the flattering look. The style also elongates the legs. I have all the colors.
Usually take an extra small in vcvi but found these a little snug. Too snug. Went up to a small in this pant. The london gray is a color that will go with many things. Pricey but a fun pant. Am 5'4" and 118 lbs.

My new favorite pant. Bought two pair. Great summer weight, very comfortable. Perfect fit for curvy gal. Only complaint is fraying top stitching. Love the pants too much to send them back.
Style wasn't for me. Just for information, I'm 5'4", about 118lbs. I tried an x/s and it fit. A good pant for others.
The jury is still out on these pants...mainly because the fabric is extremely thin (revealing). It's a bit more evident in this color than the black. This style fits more snugly than some of XCVI's other styles. All in all, these elements are more of a potential problem for those of use who are "rounder" in form.

Really perplexed by most of the reviews for these pants. While the style is fantastic, they really lose their shape while wearing. They stretch out so bad during the day, that by the end of the day they are HUGE. Thank goodness for the drawstring or else I wouldn't be able to keep them up! And the elastic band is not elastic at all; also getting quite large with wear. I'm very thankful I bought one size smaller than I normally wear or else I would be quite upset. I was hoping these were going to be my new favorite, but sadly, they missed the mark. XCVI, if you can find a way to make the elastic band actually act as an elastic and keep the pants from stretching during one wear, you'd really have a very impressive pant on your hands!

Way too short! Many reviews complain that these pants are too long. Those reviews are written by short women. I'm 5'9 and these pants barely reach and certainly don't cover my ankles. They would be wonderful if they were long. It is easy to take up a hem, but if there isn't fabric, there is not much a woman can do. There are many petite shops, it would be wonderful if at least one designer would consider making long pants for those of us who are tall!

They fall apart! After one wash, the treading on the back pockets started giving way. After two washes, I am afraid that they are literally going to fall apart. I have lots of other pants by these guys. I am super bummed as they are really defective.
I bought those leggings and I love them. Fit is perfect and the look w. the "stuff" on the sides is very very attractive. The green color is perfect too. Overall a bit of a different legging-look, and I like it very much!
I ordered these leggings particularly because they were less expensive than the Oslo leggings. However, when I got them, they just didn't do a thing for me. I didn't like the style. They were like wearing tights but with some 'stuff' on the sides. They were perfectly comfortable, but just weren't the look I wanted, so I sent them back and sucked it up and spent the extra money for the XCVI Oslo leggings, which I like much better. It's really all a matter of taste.
Okay, I gave these leggings 5 stars, but I will relate my experience. I had the pair of Large Oslo Leggings in a brown. Liked them and wanted to get the black, so I came to Zappos to buy the black. Ordered in Large. I am 145 pounds and 5'6". The Large that came was baggy at the knees, more so in the left knee. Weird. So I sent it back and decided to order the Large and Medium to decide which fit best, though the Large in the brown fit fine. When I got them there was very little difference between the L and M. I was surprised, because I have lost a lot of weight, but still have it around the middle to lose. The waist was not too tight in the Medium, though I thought if it were tight anywhere, it'd be there. So be aware, you women with lovely, small waists, you might need to drop a size to get the waist tight enough. Anyway, thanks to Zappos I didn't have to pay return shipping or any shipping for that matter, and got the leggings that fit best. I don't know if the XCVI's in this case are not quite as size specific as other clothing in the brand. Usually I fit my usual size. And the first Large I received really did feel like they were defective with such baggy knees. Hopefully that was a fluke. Due to Zappos' free shipping, I was able to 'try on' two sizes to get the best fit. Thanks Zappos!

These pants make me look and feel great! They are a bridge between a skirt and pants and can be worn multiple ways- dressy or casual, long or mid calf. I live on the East Coast and wear the black year round. I hope they will soon make them in white or bone so I can add these lighter colors to my collection.

I saw these pants on a customer and as soon as she told me where she got them, I was on the computer ordering mine. When I received them the next day, I couldn't wait to wear them. I love the comfort and style of the pant. I am actually going to order a different color. I will definitely be ordering from Zappos again!
The most gorgeous jacket, I love the ease in which it wears, because of the little bit of stretch it has. One thing I have to say about the fit, it runs very small. I was thinking about exchanging it, but then...I guess the 10-12 would be too large. Like all of the brand XCVI, it's a bit overpriced, yet all their things are unusually beautiful!
These are so nice I bought a second pair in another color, but the second pair didn't fit the same. I have found some inconsistency in XCVI's sizing. The second pair seemed much smaller, as did another pair which I also ordered. Luckily, with Zappos great exchange policy, it makes it easy to get the right size.
These pants are really spectacular - quite dramatic, but if you think you can pull them off, go for it. They're just so cool. I love the swagger, the flair, the volume of these. Really pretty, especially when accessorized with lots of jewelry and a very cool pair of high heel sandals. I love them so much I ordered a cropped pair as well.
