American Apparel Disco Pants vs Asos Disco Pants Dupe

Before I get in to this blogpost it might get a bit long so just sit back and relax perhaps grab herself a cuppa and then I can get started 
First things first I'm a realist... No im kidding , actually I wanted to say about how I may be a little bit behind on the disco pants trend, but I still see people wearing them and a few months ago I was like you, reading blogposts about them and reviews due to their pretty hefty    price tag of 74 pounds which is bound to burn a hole in your pocket.

Asos Disco Pants

My love for these pants started in October when I first saw them but I did not want to pays the 70 pound price tag so i started to look for dupes and I found the asos one which were £30  so more than half the price tag but because Katie did not to the research properly she did not know to go a size down and when they had no uk sizes 8 left I though the would be quite tight fitting and a 10 would be ok but I was wrong they fit fine at first apart from them being a bit big around the waist after this I realised that as soon as you start moving they start to sag around the crotch area which is definitely not attractive so 100% don't get a size bigger in the Asos pair.

American Apparel disco pants 

When buying these pair I was a lot more precautious about size and my debate was to either get it in a s (small) or xs (extra small) and because where I live there are no aa stores, I had to order online in the end I went for a extra small and im so glad I did they fit perfectly although the first time you try them on you might need to lie down on the ground to pull them up but then they sort of adjust to your body shape which is great.

Comparison 

Firstly I would like to say the aa disco pants are a good bit thicker than asos and a fair bit shiner which is noticeable in real life but I'm not sure it will appear on camera that way but other than that the only visibly noticeable difference is the pockets american apparel are round shaped and asos are squared.
Material wise I have noticed a slight tearing in te asos pair but then agin I have had them longer than aa so if it happens with american apparel pants I will update you.

Conclusion 

To be honest I'm annoyed I spent the £30 on the asos pair and waited to buy the real deal as I feel they don't deserve the title dupe do the poor sticking and lack of shine and I would honestly recommend going and buying the aa ones because they are amazing and I have been living in them recently so my honest opinion is to take the plunge and buy the real ones unless you can't afford it but just remember go size down I can't stress this enough 

If you would like to see a post on how I style these b.e.a.u.tiful pants be sure to let me know in comments or if you have any question about them let me know and I will be sure to reply. Xx
I'm really sorry I'm having issues with my camera so I can't put the photos in yet I will have them up in a week sorry I jus thought I would post them anyway
