Tag: How Is It Really?

“Kylie already has me hooked with Kylie Cosmetics’ glossy balm and creamy concealer, so my expectations were relatively high when she announced a foray into fashion. From the pieces in Drop 003, the Fleece Super Cropped Hoodie immediately caught my eye. It is, admittedly, not the most functional or practical item, but that’s partially why I love it: The shrug-meets-sweatshirt is just here for vibes, and to be honest, that’s why it works. (My mother cheekily suggested I wear it without anything underneath.) Right off the bat, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality — the heavy, thick fleece fabric feels expensive and holds its shape beautifully.

Since Madewell released the Harlow Pant in 2022, the trouser has become one of the retailer’s most popular items (and a TikTik favorite!). Not only does the high-waisted, wide-leg, pleated style come in several fabrics (cotton, linen, denim), but it’s also available in a myriad of colors (black, green, pink, brown, and more) and different sizing ranges (petite, regular, tall, plus). Here at Refinery29, we’ve had our eye on the customer favorite for a while. But it wasn’t until November when Madewell dropped the Harlow in a new satin fabrication, which comes in black and brown colorways, that we decided to test the trousers firsthand. A staple of holiday dressing season and eveningwear, could satin translate into a daytime must-have? To find out, we wore Madewell’s Harlow trousers day and night to see if they are as versatile as the reviews claim them to be. Ahead, our thoughts.
