Athleta's Lineup of Comfy Pants Can Take You from Work Days to Lounge Days (and Everything in Between)

These denim-like pants will have you rethinking your go-to jeans. Since they're made of a blend of recycled polyester, cotton and spandex, I don't doubt that they're as breathable, quick-drying and stretchy as the brand claims. But they also offer some structure (great for days outdoors), and feature four spacious pockets, along with belt loops and a hook-and-eye closure for prime functionality.

Not your average trousers, these bad boys boast a swooshy, abrasion-resistant fabric and partly elasticated waist—a sneaky contrast to their sophisticated pleating and smooth hook-and-eye closure in the front. But the real reason they’ve garnered thousands of reviews? The stretch, of course, which one customer says “ensures a comfortable fit throughout the day.” I wouldn’t blame you for stocking up on this office-ready style, especially since it's available in a ton of spring colors.

Whoever said you can’t look snatched in joggers hasn’t seen this style, complete with a no-dig waistband for a seamless fit. They're made of a sweat-wicking blend of nylon and Lycra, and feature both zip and slip pockets—perfect for stashing small essentials on the go. Best of all, you can wear them from winter to spring with hoodies, T-shirts and so much more.

I’m grabbing these fitted, mid-rise pants in as many colors as possible—and not just because they're made from a stretchy, wrinkle-free fabric. Even better, one shopper raved that they “look polished, but feel like pajamas,” which I count as a win in my book. With a rib-knit waistband and side panels, you’ll get extra flexibility and comfort for all your weekend (or week day) adventures. What more can you ask for?

No hiking is required to don these cargo bottoms, which feature an adjustable hem for easy tailoring. That said, they're easy to dress both up and down, and with pockets aplenty, it's no wonder hundreds of buyers have made them their go-tos for travel. (BTW, one reviewer confirms that the material isn't see-through, even in this light color.)
