Off the Rack: William Rast for Target




Yesterday I visited my nearest Target store to check out the newly launched William Rast for Target collection. The selection was pretty limited but I can say that the jeans fit true to size and the styles are fresh so if you need a new pair of jeans, these are worth checking out. They're made out of that really soft stretchy denim, similar to a designer brand like Chip & Pepper. There's also a great pair of skinny cargos, the rise isn't perfect and they were too short on me but the styling is undoubtedly hot and a great buy for $39.99. My other observation is that some of the tops seem to run a bit small, I was an XS in the tank tops, S in the khaki jacket and a M in the studded denim shirt. Try on in person if possible. I'm hoping to check out more pieces at other Target stores. No one at my Target seemed to blink an eye as they walked past the display so I'm sure I will be able to get a few things on clearance. It's all very wearable, it's all cool. But I can't help but think that wearing head-to-toe William Rast would mean I'm not even trying...then again, maybe that's a good thing?

More photos after the jump. Did anyone see the leather jackets in person? What did you buy?
