Searching for the holy grail of comfortable yet chic work-to-drinks pants for fall and winter, thinking probably pleated, definitely low or mid rise, and wide leg or baggy. Looking for something well made but under $200 (I see so many options on instagram but they all seem like drop shipping scams). Any suggestions?

ripley rader: Highly recommend Ripley Rader! The wide legged pants and her oversized blazer are staples for me. All of the clothes are designed and manufactured in LA. Unfortunately Quince has ripped off her designs, but they don’t compare to the originals!

Lululemon Daydrift High-Rise Wide-Leg Trouser: My friend introduced me to these pants and I became so obsessed with them that I bought my own pair a couple months later. Ignore the ultra-casual styling of this model. When my husband first saw me in them, his response was, “Oh, those are more formal than you normally wear,” so they can definitely be dressed up or down.
