Looking for the perfect pant. Barrel pants from Gap have been great! But really looking for that perfect, easy pull up pant that feels like sweat pants but isn’t! Hard pants are a hard pass for me.

Ruti On the Loose Pants: The cost per wear on these is LOW. You can wear them with a t-shirt and they look sporty but I’ve also worn them with a gold sandal and slinky top out to dinner and got several compliments. Also perfect for travel. They don’t wrinkle or stretch out and they are super comfortable. They come in petite too!

Everlane Women's The Utility Barrel Pants - Black: Not sure if these count as hard pants, but I’ve moved on from denim to these. I get them on eBay for less than $30. They’re great for most situations, and really last!

Old Navy Mid-Rise Barrel Leg Utility Pants: I’ve worn & washed these multiple times (air dry them) and they are my perfect pant. Comfy, loose, cute. I’m almost 5’1” and got the regular length so definitely a shorter person pant but I love them!

Athleta Tempo Mid Rise Wide Leg Track Pant: I have two pairs of these and wear them constantly. Even better if you can get them on sale. Do I need another color???

Le Bon Shoppe Gardener's Pants - Army Green: These are the only pants I'm wearing right now. More substantial than the poplin pants you see everywhere but light enough for summer, the nylon mix keeps them wrinkle free, perfect fit. I have in army green and I'll buy in dried lavender when the restock.

*edit to add I did buy these in lavender and now they are my only two pants in rotation. Very good pant!

Roucha Pace Pant in Crepe: elastic top with a tie, just enough barrel that they look purposefully architectural, but not crazy. the fabric is nice with a little shine, but also light and cozy so you can wear to work or to hang and I always get compliments. I bought mine secondhand on poshmark.

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!
