1. A pair of fleece-lined faux leather leggings that look so. damn. chic. Mama loves comfy clothes that fool the masses into thinking I'm trendy (mama in this context = me), and these provide a top quality dupe for more expensive versions.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these faux leather leggings during a late-night Amazon shopping spree. They don't look faux at all, are well-made, and I receive compliments on them every time I wear them. They are also extremely comfortable and fit like a second skin. They are super warm so I probably would not wear in warmer weather but are perfect for the fall and winter. They shape well and stay put! There is no rolling or slipping down with these babies. Put them on and they are going to stay where you put them. I love them!" —Kelly C. Albanese

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X Regular and Tall and in four styles).

2. Plaid knit leggings for a look that one-ups your favorite black yoga bottoms (but is still significantly more comfortable than any of the denim residing in your Ikea drawers).

amazon.com

Promising review: "I love, love, love these pants. I have them in the black and the dark blue wash. They go with everything and are so comfortable that I want to wear them every day! I usually wear premium denim but I am reaching for these now. The price is definitely right at $20. They look good with boots, flip-flops, or tennis shoes. If you’re on the fence, get these." —DM Lover

Get them from Amazon for $20.90+ (available in sizes XS–XXL in short, regular, and long and 15 colors).

FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give this a spin before you buy it!

3. Double-knit fabric pants that are cleverly crafted to feel like sweatpants. In reality, their tapered leg *and* wrinkle-resistant fabric make 'em more professional than the black slacks you purchased for that internship interview back in 2001. You know the ones I'm talking about.

Everlane

Promising review: "I bought these in black and when I received them immediately bought them in Dark Forest. The material is so nice and the color is the perfect shade of olive. The length stops at the perfect spot on my ankle, not too short but not full length, and the rise sits at a good spot on my waist. Definitely a staple for your closet." —TMarieC

Get them from Everlane for $68 (available in sizes XXS–XL and three colors).

4. Track sweats perfect for the inconsistent temps we experience every false spring, when outfit choices can easily swap from parkas to tanks overnight. Reviewers swear these are crafted with magic fabric that remains cool on sweaty days *and* warm on frigid ones. Hermione? Are you responsible for this?

amazon.com

Promising review: "These are probably the softest pants I've ever owned. They feel like velvet, and are unique in that they will keep me warm in chillier months but are airy and breathable enough to wear during the sticky, humid summer months. I shy away from sweatpants usually because I don't like fleece lining or warmer pants in general because they always just seem to make me TOO hot no matter the season." —Jessica

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 20+ colors and prints).

5. High-waisted palazzo trousers guaranteed to make you feel ~trendier than thou~ strutting to your corner deli. Available in neutral and vibrant hues alike, throw on any simple top to make it look as if you didn't snooze through your alarm this morning.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These pants as so comfortable and flowy! I stepped outside of my usual skinny jean outfit to try this style and I never want to take them off! They are great casual pants for work, and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it :)" —Nash

Get them from Amazon for $23.18+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 25 colors).

6. Knit rib lounge pants with all the comfort of your favorite sweats, but these babies have the whole trendier-than-thou factor going for them. Heading out for a quick errand? Throw on a fedora and you'll look like you've just stepped off a fashion inspo Pinterest board.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This cozy pants are amazing. Not too heavy, very soft, and I love the green color. These days with COVID I’m always looking for comfy yet stylish lounge wear and these are perfect!" —Kalyn

Get them from Amazon for $29.50 (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors).

7. Lightweight drawstring joggers for a definitive upgrade to the fleece rubber duckie pajamas you've been wearing for the past century. These pocketed pants feel supremely comfy, but still look put-together enough for errands.

Amazon

Promising review: "The material is super soft, sturdy, they are so comfy, and the price is great. They do not look like baggy sweatpants (my fear), they look nice for a vacation or just going out to a casual picnic/party." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 1X–4X and four colors).

8. High-waisted flare pants available in 16 colors and, consider this a warning, you'll want to stock up on every one. Over 8,000 reviewers swear that these babies are heaven in clothing form — buttery soft, amazingly stretchy, and perfect for any occasion.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I wore these pants on a first date and they made my booty and thighs look amazing. I also wore these pants to my office job and my coworkers went crazy over them. I literally emailed and texted shared item and copied links to these pants all day. They are so soft. You want to touch them all day and they make great sleep pants." —Christina Tahey

Get them from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 16 colors).

9. Faux leather joggers equally as comfortable as your favorite basic leggings but *le gasp* about 10x more trendy. Who should start a style blog? You.

Nasty Gal

Get them from Nasty Gal for $26.50 (originally $53, available in sizes 2–10).

10. THE leggings that have amassed over 29,000 5-star reviews — you know them, you love them, it's about time you grabbed a pair. These babies are ultra high-waisted, super comfy, have a fun ruched design, and are best known for accentuating your 🍑.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "These are hands-down my favorite leggings. I love the fit and the feel of them. Would repurchase in every color, and I have probably six different colors already and I want MORE!! They hold up in the washer/dryer and color doesn't bleed onto other clothes. The only thing I didn't love on the leggings was that the waist band was quite thick; my simple fix for it was just making a small cut on the inside seam and cutting the elastic out, and it makes them fit PERFECTLY." —Aspen

Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 45 colors).

11. High-waisted pants featuring snazzy (and adjustable) bow detailing by the ankles, aka you'll be able to slightly alter their silhouette — keep 'em loose if you prefer more breeze or tighten them if you're a staunch skinny denim supporter.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Absolutely perfect! I ordered them in black for work pants but after getting them in I ordered them in multiple other colors because they are now my go to pants for going to work and going out 10/10 would recommend. I waited to make this review to be sure I could afford to buy all the colors I wanted first because I know this product will TAKE OFF when people try them on!" —Addison Stick

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 36 colors).

12. Deliciously comfortable fleece sweatpants made from 60% cotton and 40% recycled polyester, aka these loungers are worth a bit of extra coin because they turn literal trash into wearable gold.

Richer Poorer

Promising review: "I'm super picky about my sweatpants and have been searching for a comfy, SOFT, good-fitting pair and these were PERFECT. These were a perfect fit in every aspect and look like they fit well without being overly baggy. The cinch at the bottom also makes them look more put together. I got them in the Warm Gray color and they're so cute and trendy. I've had these on for five days straight since I got them." —Megan

Get them from Richer Poorer for $72 (available in sizes XS–XL and 11 colors).

13. Stretchy ankle length pants so comfortable-yet-dressy that make them suitable for yoga, errands, *and* going out to dinner. Read my lips: versatility.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I really like these! They are so comfortable and stretchy, but look professional. They are the perfect high-waisted look I wanted for work. Very happy with my purchase. I even ordered another pair in a different color and love those as well!" —Melodie

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 40 colors).

Athleta

Promising review: "I have four pairs (camo, gray, navy, and olive) and they really are the perfect summer pant. I've dressed them up with a heeled sandal and a pretty top/jewelry for work, and they look great with a tank and flip-flops. Love the casual linen look too." —amyinthebox

Get them from Athleta for $79 (available in sizes 0–26, in tall and petite sizes, and three colors).

16. Curvy twill trouser pants purposely tailored with hourglass figures in mind, meaning the waistband won't gap and/or expose the world to the color of your underwear. And no belt required. Hallelujah.

Express

Get them from Express for $60 (originally $80, available in two colors and sizes XXS–XL).

17. Cotton lounge pants that will oh-so-perfectly complement the Calvin Klein bralette you've been wearing since ::checks calendar:: last year. And of course, hats off to the no-strings design — you'll be able to chuck these in the wash with full confidence knowing they won't be ruined due to an irksome drawstring waistband.

Calvin Klein

Promising review: "Really nice and soft. Thicker than pajamas, thinner than sweatpants. I sleep in them, wear them around the house, even to the grocery store. I like the waistband (no strings) on these better than most other styles (HATE THE STRINGS can you tell?)." —Stuart

Get them from Calvin Klein for $49.30 (originally $58, available in sizes S–XL and in two colors).

18. Wide leg trousers with a truly snazzy design (snakeskin. prints. forever) that hit right above your belly button. Ready your ankles for some breeze.

Boohoo

Get them from Boohoo for $14.40 (originally $36, available in sizes 12–20).

19. Corduroy pants that look polished and put-together, but lean in because I have a secret to spill. Ahem *lowers voice to a whisper* reviewers swear they're still comfortable despite looking constrictive.

Petal + Pup

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these pants! They’re so comfortable to wear and look amazing on! They go with everything in my wardrobe too. Two of my friends are getting a pair after seeing mine." —Jodie K

Get them from Petal + Pup for $59.95 (available in sizes 2–10 and seven colors).

20. Mid-rise vegan leather pants perfect for every season and occasion: you can just as easily don these bottoms to spring picnics as you can to winter holidays. They're even available in cropped *and* classic lengths.

Aritzia

Get them from Aritzia for $148 (available in sizes 00–16 and in eight colors).

21. High-waisted joggers so lovely, you'll want to stuff your Ikea dresser with every available hue. They're slightly oversized which makes 'em perfect for working from bed, but the elastic waist and tapered ankles mean you won't feel embarrassed to wear these during a quick coffee run.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The material of these sweatpants are super soft and high quality. They have pockets which I love. I am truly impressed with the quality and how comfortable they are. Highly recommend these. I will be ordering in black too!" —Jill K. Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors/prints).

22. Pull-on flare pants featuring subtle ankle slits because your boots were made for walking *and* being seen — these bottoms provide length without hiding your new Croc-inspired booties.

Free People

Get them from Free People for $78 (available in sizes S–XL and two colors).

23. Soft cotton cargo joggers featuring a multitude of zippers for folks who refuse to bring along a purse during their morning walk.

Get them from Soma for $44 (available in sizes XS–XXL).

25. Ankle pants available in a lovely purple hue best described by one word: spring. If you're looking to deviate from your usual uniform of black, gray, and dark gray this season, here's your chance!

Ann Taylor

Psst, you can even snag a matching blazer to complete the look!

Get them from Ann Taylor for $65.40 (originally $109, available in sizes 00–18 and in tall and petite sizes).

26. Ribbed jogger pants for folks who want bottoms that are truly high-waisted... none of that fake "high rise" nonsense where you feel like your underwear is constantly on the brink of being exposed. If my belly button is showing, I don't want it.

Target

Get it from Target for $24 (available in sizes XS–XXL and eight colors).

27. High-waisted leggings, aka the delicious bread and butter of any WFH wardrobe. These provide awesome compression, come in a variety of fab solids and prints, *plus* have over 21,000 5-star reviews.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the best pair of leggings I own, period. I've been a Fabletics fan for quite a while, but these are the new favorite. I'd say they're similar to the Lululemon Align, but that's not being fair to these leggings. The Lulus were not squat-proof, lighter weight, not a good fit, and didn't look good. These look amazing, feel amazing, and are squat-proof. I'll definitely be ordering more." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 26 patterns).

28. Sherpa-lined sweats to make your legs feel as if they're being enveloped by a large, fluffy bathrobe. If you are perpetually cold (#me), then these babies are great — bonus points for a tapered leg that sets these apart from your oversized pajama bottoms.

Amazon

Promising review: "I'm always cold in the Wisconsin winters. These toast me up and are perfect for lounging. So cozy." —Jodi Larson

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).

29. Ribbed sleep pants for a sophisticated (but equally as comfortable) upgrade to the high school soccer team sweats you've been wearing to bed since 1997. You hate sports. You sat on the bench.

Aerie

Promising review: "I love a good pair of loose PJ pants to lounge around the house in. These make me feel like I'm not even wearing pants. They are amazing. I love that they have nice deep pockets." —Loungingmom

Get them from Aerie for $20.97 (originally $34.95, available in sizes XXS–XXL and two colors).

30. Lightweight bottoms dubbed the ~fancy pants~ which, wow, yes. These elegant, comfortable, and the perfect thing to slip on when you're in a time crunch but want to look put-together.

Beginning Boutique

Get them from Beginning Boutique for $69.99 (available in sizes AU4–AU16).

31. Seamed ponte knit leggings to end your quest for the perfect leggings. This is it, kiddos. These are designed with two functioning back pockets, they're super high-rise (no underwear appearances), plus they're available in short, regular, and long lengths.

Amazon

FYI, these are included in Prime Wardrobe so you can give 'em a trial run if you're a member!

Promising review: "My leggings are always tearing, or they thin-out, or they look cheap... But THESE leggings are amazing. The pleats, stitching, and REAL pockets (no annoying fake pockets!) make the pants look nice enough that I can get away with wearing them as business casual. They're also so incredibly comfortable." —J&S

Get them from Amazon for $22.50 (available in sizes XS–XXL; in short, regular, and long lengths; and six colors).

32. Danskin bootcut yoga pants that reviewers swear can be thrown in the wash approximately 130,000 times — and they'll consistently emerge from the laundry room looking just as they did when they were first ripped out of their packaging.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these pants! The fit is sleek but not as form-fitting as leggings, the fabric is heavy and has a bit of a drape, and because the logo is up near the waistband, it is easily covered by a top so I feel OK wearing them for on the daily versus as just workout wear. I also like the wide waistband because I am not constantly having to pull my pants back into place every time I stretch. As for care, I wash them normally with other dark items, but I let them line dry vs using the dryer (as I would with lingerie) to preserve elastic properties." —Red Mre

Get it from Amazon for $17.70+ (available in sizes XS-3X and in three colors).
