I've wanted a pair of disco pants for a while now, however after trying on the American Apparel originals I decided I must be the only person on the planet they didn't suit, I found the sizes really odd and every pair I tried on seemed too tight and just not flattering, the next size up was then too big - plus for 70 something pounds I pretty much expected the trousery-legging combination of my dreams! The other week I thought I'd give disco pants another chance and tried on the Topshop dupes, once again I was beyond disappointed; they weren't flattering at all and I've read a lot of reviews saying that the stitching on the pockets comes away after a few washes...I'd almost given up and came to the conclusion that the shiny, Sandy from Grease-esque trousers and I just weren't meant to be.
That was, my friends, until yesterday when I went to Birmingham for a Valentine's day shopping trip with my boyfriend, and during my usual wander around Primark discovered these dupes and decided I may as well try them on. All in all, these are the best disco pant dupes I've tried/seen and for me, are way more flattering than the AA originals! The material is thick, they aren't at all see-through, the button is silver not gold or plastic (a bonus for me!), due to the thickness of the fabric you don't have to worry about any unflattering camel-toe type disasters and they're fitted but not at all uncomfortable or overly tight! Oo and I almost forgot to say, for only £16 you can't really go wrong! Yep £16 - that would probably buy you the button, zip and one of the pockets of the American Apparel ones...
Hopefully you'll see these soon in an outfit post! Here's a quick instagram photo of everything I got yesterday...
Garrhh I'm so in love with that skirt!

I'm going to have to look in Primark for these, I tried on a dupe pair in H&M and they were just awful, like everything else in H&M this winter- looked nice on the hanger but the cuts were terrible

They're amazing! I saw someone post a pic on instagram of them too but I'm yet to find them in my local store :( I definitely want to try them if I do find them. I have the AA ones and the glamorous dupes but I find the glamorous ones way too shiny and very thin! x
ReplyDeletethere so amazing. do you know if Primark ships internationally?

I'm exactly the same as you, Ellen! I tried the American Apparel ones and they didn't look right at all, so I tried the Topshop ones and they too looked wrong and unflattering!
ReplyDeleteI'm really grateful you made this post, as I saw it before I went shopping this morning so I knew to head straight to Primark to try them on and they fit me perfectly!
So thank you, thank you! You've made my dream of owning an awesome pair of disco pants come true :D
