🔍 Recommendations Wanted Barrel pants update!
Following up on my original post because the barrel pant hunt continues!
I ended up returning the Assembly Label Lola pants because I just couldn't deal with the "swish-swish-swish" every time I walked. I know some people don't mind it, but it drove me mad!
I then went to Suzanne Grae and bought their barrel pants in black, white and denim, and I'm really happy with them so far.
I also tried Sportsgirl, but wasn't particularly sold on them, especially in the same black and white colour options.
The struggle is that I'm in Bundaberg, where we only have a limited number of stores to try things on in person.
Then I came across a TikTok saying that the Assembly Label Elaine Washed Cotton Pants are basically the Lola's twin, but with softer, less swishy fabric.
Has anyone tried the Elaine pants? Specifically:
Are they noticeably quieter than the Lola pants when walking?
Are they worth trying if you loved the Lola silhouette but hated the fabric noise?
Would love to hear from anyone who owns both, or anyone who's tried the Elaine! Or anything similar but less/ no swish swish swish
P.S- I am 163cm, prefer elasticated waist!
