These sweatpants were the best thing ever! I wore them to a concert and then out afterwards and they were so chic but comfortable. I received so many compliments on them all night. They do run large, the 0 would have been a bit better as they were a little loose and were slipping down but even with that, I still absolutely loved them! 

I LOVED these pants. They run incredibly large. I'm normally a size 4, and the 0 was slightly too big still - I had to safety pin the waist a bit to cinch them. Size way down if you get these! The length is great for tall girls - I'm just under 6'0" and these hit above my ankles, but could be bunched up a bit (as seen in photo). The sparkle is fantastic and I received compliments on the pants all night.

I'm usually an 8 in pants, but because the other reviews said they ran large, I ordered a 6 and a 4. The 6 was great! I have a curvier figure, so it felt a little tight on my bum, but an 8 would've been too big at the waist. The sequinned material is loose, but the lining is somewhat true to size. It was a chilly night in NYC and they kept me warm! Didn't want to return them!

These pants were GREAT! I wish I could have bought them, they were so comfortable and really perfect for a chilly evening in NYC. I wore them to a rehearsal dinner in November and we had to do a lot of walking outside as you always have to in NYC, so I was glad I chose these because they were really warm but still fancy. They are pretty flattering even though they are loose (not too loose). Just a note, though: I wouldn't say they run large -- I wore a 2 which is my normal size -- but they are a bit heavy with all the sequins and don't have an adjustable waistband or belt loops. Just something to think of. The dark color of the sequins was perfect for an evening event. Overall very cute! I got compliments all night. 

These pants are AMAZING!! They run super big- I normally wear an 8/10 and was able to fit comfortably in the size 2(WOW!) I wore these on NYE to work with a white top and flats then changed to a black top and booties to go out at night. Insanely comfortable and very fun! A must rent!! 

Runs very large. I usually wear a 10/12 and I wore the 8. Very comfortable!!

Wore these pants for my birthday and they were a great choice for a cold winter night out because they were pretty warm and comfortable. These run large you can probably size down a whole 2 sizes.

I rented these as my bonus birthday rental. It made my birthday date at a local winery with my husband feel more festive. As all the other reviews state: they run large and long. I had to turn the cuffs under which gave them a different look. That said, with my birthday right after the holidays, I was happy to have them run large!

I rented these because I was going to a party where I wanted to be comfortable for several hours and a long car ride. These pants are comfortable but they fit very large. I am normally a 6/8 and needed the 4; even with the 4 I felt the legs were not fitted. (I own a pair of pants in a similar style that are much more slimming through the leg.) They are also long, which was great for me because I'm 5'11", but they might swallow shorter women! 

I don't think these are the most flattering thing I've ever worn, and they certainly aren't particularly sexy, but they are fun and different. Rent them if you want a comfy holiday look! 

I don't go to ANY formal affairs without renting anymore. This was yet another awesome rental from RTR. As per other reviews, these pants run a bit large. I typically wear a size 2 and rented these in the only size left, a 0. They fit perfect! The lining is a little tighter and they were almost too long, but they were the comfiest pants I have EVER worn. I did not want to return these beauties! They were VERY warm, as well. Good thing I went w the tank top. Again, as with all my other rentals, I got TONS of compliments.  I'd definitely rent these babies again! Highly recommend! 

Wore these pants to Beyoncé and they were perfect! So fun. So comfy! I was dancing the whole time and these pants really allowed for that. 

Comfortable, loose on the legs and fitted in the waste.  Very comfortable. 

Loved these and sized down one size. Should have taken the advice of others and sized down 2 sizes. I wore the 2 and they were still huge. Needed safety pins to stay up. That being said, got TONS of compliments. Even one of the stars of Kinky Boots complimented them! 

Wish the waist band had some way to tighten up, felt like they were going to fall off.


Wore them to a New Years Eve party and they were a standout!  The color is beautiful, and I loved the overall look.  Like others mentioned, they do run super big.  I usually wear a size 6 and the size 2 fit fine...even still a bit baggy.  I wouldn't say they were the most flattering, because the sequins and weight add a bit of bulk, but nothing that I felt uncomfortable in.  I loved wearing them and it was the perfect occasion for some sparkle.

i read the other reviews and took into account possibly sizing down 2 sizes. However, my sizes were not available so I took a risk and went with an 8. The 8 was huge in the waist. the pants almost seemed so worn that they were stretched out. The thighs and butt were fitted though. 

These pants were perfect for the holiday party I attended!  They were so comfortable and kept me warm all night.  I wore a boxy fitting sweater on top and they went very well together.  I suggest wearing something looser on top since trying to pair with a tucked in shirt made them look more like pajamas. Very cute! Received compliments all night.

I was so excited to get these and ordered my normal size 4, and a back up 6. I am a 4 95% of the time and go up with a slim fit sometimes.  These are huge.  Not just baggy, I mean huge.  Ankle length on me and I am tall.  They wouldn't stay up and kept slipping so I couldn't wear them.  They are lined with a heavy, soft material that felt luxe and would be perfect in cool weather.  I really love them, just need to get the 2, although then I am not sure if they might end up too short.  

I would have worn these if I hadn't had a particular outfit in mind when I ordered them.  I was traveling for work and had these shipped directly to me, so the corresponding pieces I brought didn't end up looking good with it.  

I rented these for my company Holiday Party. I wanted to wear pants to be comfortable, but still be sparkly and festive. These pants were exactly what I was looking for! I loved wearing them, and paired them with a slinky open-back black tank.

The other reviewers were correct, the fit is big, but this just made them more comfortable in my opinion. My only complaint is that the pants would not stay up! The elastic wasitband was too giving (or stretched out?) and there was no drawstring available either. I resorted to using two binder clips to cinch the waist and keep the pants on. It worked, but was not ideal!

I found that these pants were rathe large, but they are comfortable.  

These were so fun and cute, but unfortunately they didn't look awesome on me. My height (5'11") is all in my legs so these didn't really blouse out the way they do on the model, and they hit above my ankles so the shape just wasn't great on me. 

Like many other previous reviewers have stated, the pants run LARGE.  I had to roll the waist band to keep them up and they were still pretty loose.  I put my husband on butt-crack patrol. They are also long so they hit a few inches lower on me than the model picture.  The waist band and ankle bands are black cotton and very comfortable.

These were such a great change up for NYE compared to my normal dress. I got so many compliments. They were unfortunately a little big so I was constantly tugging them up at the waist.

I loved the look of these pants, they were perfectly on trend for the holiday work party I was attending. However, as the night went on the pants grew. By the end of the night I was literally holding them up. If I had sized down they probably would have been a great fit all night.

Seeing as I've tried on about a dozen and bought 4 pairs of track pants this year, I feel uniquely qualified to review these pants. (Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a picture though!) They were nice and they did the trick - made me feel fancy without being too dressy or fussy - but the fit on these was just a little off. First of all, the waist band was kind of a crappy material (or else it was just very very worn) and felt way too wide for the way the rest of the pants fit. Second, the pants are a bit on the heavy side, naturally due to all the sequins. That's not a problem in and of itself, but you match that with a stretched out waist and you basically end up pulling your pants up all night. Third, the cuffs around the ankles were a bit wide as well. I like my track pants to have a cuff that's snug enough that you can actually tell that they have a shape. Otherwise they're just baggy, shapeless pants. Finally, they were just the slightest bit too long. Or maybe it was because I had to keep pulling them up all night and they were too loose at the bottom, but they just kept encroaching on my ankles and threatening to mess up the whole outfit. Even with long track pants, you want the bottom to hit just above your ankle. 

On the plus side, the sequins were just gorgeous - a great color. I wore with a black high-lo top that's perfect for looser fitting pants like this, and neutral/metallic pumps that were perfect. Also the material of the pants themselves was nice and these were warm enough on a cold winter night. 

But the bottom line is, I didn't have the overwhelming desire to keep or buy these pants. I still like the idea of them, but if I were to actually own them they would definitely require a trip to the tailors!

The pants run large. I would have worn the 4 though but the elastic was all stretched out

Adorable and fun pants but unfortunately I ended up not wearing the pants bc they were too long on me and in general too big/baggy. I'm 5'2" so I guess one shld be a little taller to pull off the same look as the model did. 

Rented these for 4th of July thinking they would be perfect! Wanted them to work but they had a strange fit, and unfortunately were very thick material. They have somewhat of a baggy inseam but the waist was lose and the backside was not flattering and I could barely sit comfortably (no stretch). The sparkles were beautiful tho!

These pants were only ok.   I've rented 3 times now from here and I really like it and the service is great. However the prior 2 items had reviews when I rented them so I could read prior to choosing size. These pants were huge. I am 5'8 135 and hourglass shape. I am between a 4/6 and the 4 were way too big and not flattering. I think the 2 would have fit but may have been too short. I'll still rent from here but I'll definitely only choose items that have reviews before I rent!

Pants were a cool idea for a night out on the town, but I did not end up wearing them. Ordered a size 0 and 2, and even size 0 was too big. Pants have no sort of adjustment or drawstring to adjust waist size, and I had at least an inch or two spare room. I understand the fit is supoosed to be large, but this wasn't the way they were supposed to be. Even if they had fit, the waist band was a ribbed cotton material that had pilled up and the sequins were not as vibrant a blue as they looked online, so i wouldn't have been 100% excited about them anyway.

These pants are gorgeous in person. Even better than the picture! Unfortunately, they didn't fit me. The recommendations were to pick a size or two down from your original size because they are big. It's true they are big of you have think thighs and butt, however, I have a large rear and thighs and should have ordered my true size.  I tried to get my true size as a back up but it was unavailable so I only ordered the next size down.  Major bummer because these pants area running! I and still giving them 5 stars because had it been the correct size, it would have been fabulous! Also, delivery was on time and the return process was so easy. 



All the reviewers are right - these run super big - I usually wear either a 12 or 14 in pants and the 10 in these were perfect. HOWEVER the lining ran a little tight. Had the weird sensation of them being tight across my butt but loose in the waist (I have an hourglass shape). I paired these with a black tank and black heeled booties - they definitely needed the height to highlight my legs.

I got SO MANY compliments while we were out! So many people stopped me and told me how awesome they thought my pants were. I absolutely loved everything about them.

Very cozy ling.
warm pants - not recommended for hot weather

They are heavy but very comfortable. I hiked the pants up on my waist a bit to show more ankle. The interior lining is a light flannel that makes the pants feel like pajamas. I felt self-conscious at the start of the day, but as I got compliments on my "fancy pants" (and as people asked if I had special plans that night), I became much more comfortable.

They take some courage, but they're great pants!

The fit was great, they were warm enough to wear in the middle of February in Wisconsin. They were a little baggy around the crotch area but the loose look really made the pants great! 



Wore this to thanksgiving, which was perfect for a festive big meal. Very comfy, like sweatpants on the inside, but chic and sparkly on the outside with the sequins.  Lots of compliments.
Color is striking! 

The waist was too big and kept slipping and the thighs were a bit too snug but overall it was a great rental. 

These were a fun alternative for a night out in NYC.  The waistband was and bottom bands were made out of a sweat pant material which was a little surprising.  But I paired it with a silky black tank top and black heals and it made it very run and dressed up.  Overall they looked and felt great.
