The pants echo the detailing of the jacket with their slant-tastic contrast waistband, and then seamlessly (well, technically there are seams.  But, figuratively speaking, the pants seamlessly) flow into the. perfect. wide. leg.   Honestly, they’re actually perfect.  It’s upsetting.I’m a stickler for proportions and can say that even the length of the nipped-waist jacket is an unmitigated success.  Especially when paired with a wide-leg trouser, a suit jacket has to hit at just the right not-too-long, not-too-short spot–which it does.  Overall, I’m pretty enamored with the waist-defining feminine silhouette created by the jacket before flowing out into the looser pants.   When I add to this list of wins the fact that the pieces have just the right hint of stretch, are majorly wrinkle-resistant (not a single wrinkle after being wadded into my suitcase for a five hour flight), AND have an equally gorgeous matching pencil skirt and sheath dress… well, it appears that JNY is just showing off.  And I’m not even mad. Well played, Jones New York. Well Played.  Shop the Post: This is a collaboration between Jones New York and the AOL Lifestyle Contributor Network.
