Since Madewell released the Harlow Pant in 2022, the trouser has become one of the retailer’s most popular items (and a TikTik favorite!). Not only does the high-waisted, wide-leg, pleated style come in several fabrics (cotton, linen, denim), but it’s also available in a myriad of colors (black, green, pink, brown, and more) and different sizing ranges (petite, regular, tall, plus). Here at Refinery29, we’ve had our eye on the customer favorite for a while. But it wasn’t until November when Madewell dropped the Harlow in a new satin fabrication, which comes in black and brown colorways, that we decided to test the trousers firsthand. A staple of holiday dressing season and eveningwear, could satin translate into a daytime must-have? To find out, we wore Madewell’s Harlow trousers day and night to see if they are as versatile as the reviews claim them to be. Ahead, our thoughts.
