What are the best materials for women's work pants?
We all know how sitting for hours at a desk and the occasional bloat can cause discomfort from the waist down. Look for fabrics that strike a balance between stretchy and structured. For example, a Ponte knit blended with Spandex (AKA elastane) will feel durable but still flexible. This way, you can wear them between washes without them losing their shape. Depending on the weather, you may also want to consider wool or silk blends.
How should my work pants fit around my hips and thighs?
If you feel bunching around the crotch when you sit, your work pants might be a size too small. Try sizing up and pairing them with a belt in order to close any waist gaps. See our guide to the best stretchy work pants for more forgiving waistbands.
What inseam length should I wear?
Unless you want a cropped kick flare, the best work pants will drape past your shoes and puddle around the ankles. 28 inches is considered a short inseam, while 32 inches works better for tall people. Remember to factor in the height of your shoes before choosing the inseam.
I’m a mom to two under two and have consequently been fluctuating between a size 4 and a size 12 for the last two years. Weight loss isn’t a huge priority right now but my body is inevitably going to keep changing. I’m putting together a capsule wardrobe that is minimalist, versatile, and size flexible-ish. What are your go to pants that fit this bill? Bonus points for high waisted and natural fibers.
Thank you!!
Basically I (29F) have some sensory stuff when it comes to clothes and for the last decade I have ONLY worn stretchy leggings because I barely feel them, they move easily, have a nice wide waistband that hits just under my belly button and is stretchy but still feels secure, etc.
As I’m nearing 30 I feel like I need to start wearing more “adult” clothes and I’m also starting to feel a little insecure about ONLY wearing tight leggings as pants.
Does anyone have a favorite go-to pair of pants that would be as comfy as leggings?
I just can’t stand the stiffness of jeans, I have wide hips so pants always fit me too tight around the butt but loose and irritating everywhere else, and anything low waisted makes me uncomfortable. Ugh.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
