Madewell Email: Ex-Boyfriend Shorts

Posted on 21:05 by gaurav kumar
"Thanks!" to Marietta who shared with us this email from Madewell.

The email features their Ex-Boyfriend Shorts. The shorts are described "just like the pair of his that you coveted- but with no strings attached" and retails for $72. The outfit is completed with the Boyfriend V-neck Tee ($24), Utility Blazer ($135), and Sandal Tassel Scarf ($48).

So many things to note:
  1. The outfit as a whole looks very casual chic and trendy- Overall, I like it! :)
  2. What is up with all the "Ex-Boyfriend" (refer here) and "Boyfriend" stuff (refer here)? If I want to dress like a guy, I will just go to the Men's section of J.Crew. (Or better yet, I will just raid my husband's closet.) ;)
  3. I really don't like these shorts (or Madewell's long jean version). They tend to look weird around the "lady area" (as in the crotch is way too low).
  4. Madewell is suppose to have lower price points than J.Crew. However, offering shorts for $72 and a scarf for $48- it doesn't seem to feel that way.
What are your thoughts on the Ex-Boyfriend Shorts? Would you pay $72 for them? Do you like or dislike the style in the short-version?

Quick Poll: Do you like Madewell's Ex-Boyfriend Shorts?
