Splits59 Raquel Expression Flared Tight - Best Surprise Ever!

Posted on 3:30 PM by dividedend
I got the best surprise package ever from the awesome team at Splits59 - their new Raquel Expression Flared Tights!  These are the Jackson Pollack inspired limited edition Raquels!  I was actually just checking them out online earlier, and then they showed up at my door step a couple days later!  Hmmm... when I first saw the package, I thought my shopping habits were getting worse and I had started ordering stuff in my sleep!  Lol!

I love the placement of the paint splatter on the pants where it's more concentrated at the top and fades towards the bottom.  That gives the pants a nice ombre effect, and strategically camouflages the areas that need it the most.  I love that they used both black and blue paint as well.  Each pair of pants is hand drip painted, so no two pairs are exactly alike!






I have never tried on the Raquel pants before, and have always been curious.  The main reason I never got a pair was because I thought the 32.5 inch inseam would be too long on me as I am only 5'5.  So I couldn't wait to see how they fit!  

In size XS, which is my normal size at Splits59, these fit me quite differently than the model in the photos.  They are very fitted all the way down to the calves (like how tights would fit), then they flare out at the bottom.  If I put on a size S pair, I'd suspect that they would fit more loosely like on the model.  The length is definitely longer on me as well, but luckily I have my trusted wedge sneakers!   I feel like these pants totally elongate the legs visually, especially combined with the wedge sneakers.





Aren't these wild??  If you run your finger over the paint, you can feel the texture as well.  Here are some closer up shots!



I was afraid that being white, they'd be sheer in the butt.  But they are not at all, and the paint also helps cover things up.  I think they are cute-butt pants!



The silver Splits59 logo is kind of camouflaged with this print as well:



Hidden pocket on waistband... I love the blue lining that matches the blue paint!



I think these pants are sooooo different and totally cool!  Although they are made of the technical supplex material, I think they are too pretty to work out in!  Haha!  But they would be the perfect pants to wear to pilates or yoga on the weekend, then out to brunch afterwards.  

They also come in Nova tight style!  



Anyway, I'm super excited for my new pants!  Huge thank you to Splits59 for sending them my way!  I will definitely get a lot of use out of them!
