Fashion Week: Ming Wang Knits Review

I am not only a full-time mom and a part-time blogger, I also work full time in a position that requires a professional attire. I often struggle with finding the perfect work clothes. I want clothes that are comfortable, are wrinkle resistant, fashionable, and flattering. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review a pair of paints from Ming Wang Knits that offered a great combination of style and functionality.

Ming Wang Knits is a company that creates business attire for the on-the-go woman. Their clothing is wrinkle-free, machine washable, color guarded, and travel friendly. I was able to review a pair of black pants from their current collection. When I opened my package and realized they were a small, I was saddened that I would not even be able to try them on (I have not been a small since pre-children). So, I was surprised when I was able to fit in them (yippee) and even more surprised by how thin they made me look (double yippee!!)
I wore them to work the next day and I received at least half a dozen comments on my "weight loss". Although I have lost a significant amount of weight over the past year, I certainly did not lose any since the day prior when I received no such comments. The secret to the slimming look is a sewn in girdle that truly sucks everything in! The shape of the pants was also quite flattering and made my legs look very thin. I was also very happy that there were no wrinkles at the end of the day.  I went to my mother's for dinner the same day and usually I leave with a pound of white cat hair stuck to my black clothing. About half way through the visit, my mother realized that there was no cat hair on the pants and was completely amazed (and I was grateful).

Although the pants are more expensive than I would typically pay for clothing (suggested retail is $174), I can guess that these pants will last my entire career (and I have a LONG way to go before retirement) so they are worth the investment. The pants kind of remind me of the credit card commercial. You know the one: "Shoes: $25, Shirt: $35, a pair of pants that are wrinkle resistant, cat hair resistant, and convince people that you lost 20 pounds overnight....priceless!"
