Maeve Colette Holiday Pants 2025
Anthropologie

PureWow readers, PureWow editors, *thousands* of Anthropologie shoppers—is there anyone who isn't obsessed with the perfect fit of the famous Maeve Colette pants?

Honestly, I don't think so, and luckily, the brand took notice and launched a bunch of updated styles for the holidays—like the classic magic fabric pants with a cute ruffle hem ($130) and this velvet pair ($158) that's just begging to be worn to your first party of the season.

The Colettes might just be some of the most comfortable pants I personally own, so go ahead and shop seven of the best holiday-ready versions of them below.

If you're looking for a cozy pick for the cooler weather, allow me to introduce you to this new version of the Colette pants, which is made from a sweater knit material that's a blend of viscose, polyester and nylon. They have that same high-rise, tailored look as the original cropped Colettes, and shoppers rave that they're just as comfortable. One reviewer shares, "These sweater knit Colettes are so comfortable! I think they fit true to size and the fabric is a nice, thicker weight. Style is pull-on, making them super versatile for so many tops or sweaters for a clean profile. Love them!"

PureWow readers have been loving corduroy pants this fall, and now that the beloved Colettes come in the fabric, I have no doubt they'll become an instant favorite. They're available in a bunch of different colors, including this versatile camel that will pair well with practically anything. As for sizing, they come in regular, petite and long lengths, or if you have a pair of boots you want to show off when you wear them, a cropped version ($138) is up for grabs, too.

Made with that "magic fabric" I (and my fellow editors) love so much, these ruffle-hem pants are a must. I mean, the style can easily be worn way past the holidays—I'd even argue they'd wear well year-round—and the material is so comfortable that you won't be rushing to change into sweatpants whenever you get home from wearing them out. Plus, shoppers confirm just how flattering they are. "I really love these pants. They are so flattering, and classy. They fit great," wrote one reviewer.

Like I mentioned above, I can't help but think how perfect this version of the Colettes would be for a holiday party. They're perfectly luxe and festive, not to mention bound to feel warm thanks to their velvet fabric (which is a breathable, slightly stretchy blend of cotton, viscose and elastane). These also come in so many colors, from neutrals to a bright red that I could totally see myself wearing on Christmas day.

In need of some jeans that can easily be dressed up for the season? Then don't skip this medium-wash pair that's equipped with just the right amount of stretch to keep them comfy and flattering. They come in a wide range of sizes and fits, including standard, tall, petite, and plus, and buyers are loving them so much they they're getting their friends in on the look, too. One shared: "My friend recommended these and I love them. They’re very comfortable but also flattering because of the stretch to fit. I would buy them in an another color!"

Now that we're getting closer to the holidays, I've been seeing tartan patterns all over my feed (blame it on the Ralph Lauren Christmas trend), and I adore the red color scheme of the print on these pants. They have some stretch to them, like other Colette styles, so they'll definitely be just as comfy as the originals, and that high-rise cut will look fab whether you pair them with a cropped sweater or a tight-fitting long sleeve top.

Want to stick with the classics? I don't blame you. This full-length style features the Colette's signature "magic fabric" (a blend of viscose, linen, cotton and elastane), which is light and stretchy, but boasts the added bonus of sculpting and supporting your figure. Honestly, they're just too good not to pick up in this tailored wide-leg cut that you can totally wear straight from the office to a festive soiree.
