True story. A few years ago, after a trip to Chicago with some friends, TJ and I were chatting with one of them. He mentioned that after the hugely indulgent weekend, his belt buckle busted. I seriously laugh out loud to this day thinking about the conversation (and he reminded me of it this past weekend, so it’s fresh in my mind)…. And while I’ve never had that happen to me personally, after particularly indulgent weekends, or vacations, I typically feel the bloat big time…. and while my jeans continue to fit, sometimes, in all honesty, they just aren’t that comfortable. So, I keep a few “back-up” pants in reserve for such occasions and affectionately refer to them as “comfy pants.” I hope everyone has a pair of these lifesavers in their closet, because they literally allow you to feel pulled together, while ignoring the fact that your belt buckle could bust at any moment. I’m probably exaggerating here, but you get the drift….
A pair of pants that are loose fitting, drawstring preferable, and appropriate for everyday life (read: not sweatpants) are a must have. Which is why, when I saw this slouchy cargo option, I knew they deserved a spot in my closet (and suitcase….). They are perfect for a day of running errands, lounging around the house, a casual (healthy) lunch, and can even be dressed up for a date night with a silk blouse and a mule. Yet, right now, I’m enjoying them as my comfy, post-vacation, pants.
A few other cute and similar options include these relaxed crepe pants (with cute pockets and an elastic waist), stretch jersey jogger pants, and these cuffed drawstring pants.
