Thoughts on these two cords as well as colors that work with more outfits?
Thank you š

The wythe 5 pockets are amazing but I can't do them at $268 (will keep an eye out for second hand and sales)
Actually they do have a handful for $149 at nmwa
Not a fan of the cut on the J Crew ones, a bit too slim and tapered for cords imo
Even though it says straight fit, the leg opening is only 8"
If I were you I'd skip these both and get some secondhand PRL Andrew cords. I just got this pair https://www.ebay.com/itm/225742691622

Thank you!
Nice wide wale and a better cut IMO, and cheaper too
Yeah those look great, may be best to go second hand

These are closer to classic straight I think? But they are only cost effective during COS's infrequent sales
Those are definitely more tapered than the PRL Andrews
I wouldn't say it's a bad pair of pants but it just doesn't make me happy the way that wide waled, pleated, wide legged cords do
Ok cool thank you! I will do second hand or maybe new PRL ones if they still sell them in that style and they are on deep sale
Unfortunately the Andrew pant has been discontinued, but they're all over ebay because they were so prevalent for so long
I don't have a fit pic of mine but here's what the silhouette looks like
Those are awesome, j crew has giant fit cords now but they're $118 so makes less sense to get them than PRL second hand
these look really nice
i should shop for secondhand prl cords
Get some! They're abundant and cheap
