I'll be honest—lately, whenever I'm getting dressed (whether it's just to work from home or go out to dinner) the number one thing on my mind is comfort. Sure, it's great if what I'm wearing happens to be stylish, too, but I'm more concerned about finding pieces that I'll feel good in and will want to wear again and again. So, being a frequent Everlane shopper, I obviously zoned in on the brand's Off-Duty Barrel pants (were $88, now from $44), which I immediately clocked as combining a trendy design with a comfy fit. Of course, I couldn't wait to try them for myself.

But before I give you the full scoop on these babies, allow me to bring to your attention the fact that they (and almost everything else at Everlane) are marked down by up to 50 percent during the brand's sitewide Black Friday sale that's on now. So if you want to pick up a pair for yourself (and, spoiler: I suggest that you do), you should do it before the deals disappear.

To start, these pants are available in five different colors (including black, bone, pale heather grey, navy and dark mahogany) and come in sizes XXS through XXL. They're also made from 100 percent organic cotton, which makes them super breathable and eco-friendly, and are machine-washable for easy care.

As for how they wear, I can confirm the pants are just as comfortable as they look. The elastic waistband lays smoothly, so I haven't found myself needing to adjust it throughout the day, and it sits at a high rise that's great for wearing with both cropped and longer tops, or even with something tight fitting tucked in. I also love that the barrel shape isn't too dramatic, so it doesn't overwhelm my short frame, and found that the pants do run true to size (although if you're between sizes, I'd say you could go with the smaller one). The material has a super lightweight feel to it, too, which I love for lounging because I don't overheat in them.

If I'm being picky, I'd say the one only downside is that the material is so lightweight that it doesn't hold a cuff at the hem, so if I want to shorten them a bit I'll need to get them hemmed (but it's worth noting that I'm only 5'2'', so this won't be an issue for anyone taller, unless you were planning to give them a cropped look).

All that said, though, I think these pants are *so* worth buying, especially while you can snag them for less than $60 in every color. Honestly, I'm probably going back for another pair, along with a few other must-haves from the brand while the whole site is up to half off. Find some more of my favorites that I'll be adding to my cart ASAP below.
