If you've been hunting for comfortable work pants, consider your search over. lululemon just welcomed a new style to its fashion family, and buyers are swooning like it's a newborn baby! Yep, lululemon doesn't just do activewear and athleisure—the brand also has a pretty solid selection of everyday styles that you can totally dress up for the office (including the fan-favorite ABC pants for the boys). And in the case of the new lululemon Daydrift trousers ($128), which are stretchy enough to feel like leggings, I'd bet money that they will become the "It" pants of the year.

Allow me to explain: Thanks to their tailored-yet-slouchy design—boasting pretty pleats, trendy wide legs and a faux fly for an extra polished touch—they're incredibly work-ready. But they also boast four-way stretch and are constructed of a sweat-wicking fabric, making them great for wearing post-workout if you live at the gym. Don't believe it? Lucky for you, lululemon proved it in an Instagram video, which showed three different ways the pants can be styled, whether you're feeling sporty or dressy.

So there's no question whether the trousers are easy to style up and down, but is their material equally as impressive? Indeed, it is. The sweat-wicking nylon and Lycra elastane is supposedly breathable and cool to the touch, meaning you'll be comfortable wearing these trousers through spring and summer.

Needless to say, they've turned almost every skeptical shopper into a fan, including this one nervous buyer: "These are pull-on pants, and I was a little nervous the first time pulling them up; I had to shimmy a little bit to get them over my bum, but once they were up, perfect fit! I wear a 6 in Wunder Train leggings, and the small was perfect!"

There are a few other things you should know before you buy them, though, like the fact that they're high rise (so you can tuck in your top and elongate your legs) and have hand pockets with a hidden card sleeve (so you don't have to take your wallet with you wherever you go).

If you're anything like me, though, you'll obsess over their interior drawcord, which allows you to customize their relaxed fit to your liking—no fiddling with buttons or zippers. Yep, these pants may look like traditional trousers, but their clever design will keep you a lot more comfy throughout the day. I suggest you follow my lead and scoop them up in as many colors as you can while they're still in stock—because they definitely won't be for long.
