All the comfort of a pair of yoga pants with all the style of business slacks… is that possible? I didn’t believe it. But, after getting used to dressing for comfort over the last couple of years, I’ve found the move back to business clothes to be, well, uncomfortable. So, I hopped online, and a quick internet search showed that this look is more popular than I’d initially thought and is available in a wide variety of styles and categories. However, because what looks good online isn’t always what we find in reality, I ordered a few pairs and gave them a go. I was pleasantly surprised. I started with my favorite pair of pants that I tried and then included some other pairs that appear to be on point.
Holy Moly, These are Beautiful Pants!
So expensive looking! I’m going to attempt to describe how great this fabric is, but I’ve never really felt material like it before. I got the Lyssé Pant Jacquard. They look and feel 20 times better than they do on the Lyssé website (and I thought they looked good there!).
- Rich coloring
- The print looks like real woven plaid
- Thick and sturdy with a matte finish
- Looks or feels nothing like any man-made material I’ve ever seen
- Feels soft in a smooth way. Slight stretch… but not as much as lycra or spandex
- Moves well
- Keeps their shape all-day
- Breathable
- Front “crease” seaming
- No wrinkling
- Machine washable!!
These Pants Fit Like a Dream
I don’t say this lightly. It’s really, really hard for me to find pants that fit right. My waist is big, but my behind and upper thighs aren’t. And I’m tall. These have a flattering fit in all the right places. But the way they are made makes it obvious they will fit many body types. It’s hard to believe pull-on dress pants can fit this well! Here are some of the key points of these amazing pants:
- Firming stretch 5″ waistband lining instead of elastic
- Non-binding waist (it doesn’t squeeze or create any rolls)
- Pulls on easily
- No zippers, buttons, clasps, hooks, or other closures
- Stay put (no tugging needed after wearing all day)
- Sculpts to your body without being tight (no sagging)
- Flattering slight flare below the knee
- Perfect length (5’10 and size XL)
- True to size
- Comfortable and movable in every way
