In the back of my brain is a spot where I hold my fashion fantasies. I dream of T-shirts that have body shapers built in to smooth out bra-induced back fat lumps, jumpsuits that are designed so you can go to the bathroom without taking off the whole thing, and pants that look dressy but are as comfortable as pajama bottoms.

The Holy Grail

A week ago, I opened a box from XCVI, and found a pair of Connelly Skinny Pants. This was my immediate thought: I’m going to wear the hell out of these. That’s because they’re made of a knit fabric that has the weight of something you’d find on a tailored pair of trousers, but they’re stretchy enough I’m sure I could do cartwheels in them. The cut is body skimming but not so clingy that you look like you’re running around in tights.

Adding to the trouser feel is the subtle Harris Check pattern, which is classy and wintery. I’ve never seen something with a yoga pant sensibility look so Man-in-the-Gray-Flannel-Suit sophisticated.

I pair my personal-Holy-Grail pants with a gray, asymmetrically cut jacket from XCVI.  The silhouette is flowy and easy but the angles add crispness. I also love that is made out of a faux suede micro fiber, which means it has the look and feel of real cowhide, but not the expense or worry (you know, how to clean). You can actually machine wash this jacket.

I put the outfit together with an XCVI scoop-neck cotton tee and my own pair of black leather engineer boots. It’s great to know that at my age (or any age), I can have it both ways—look sharp, feel easy.
