Don’t get me wrong, sweatpants have been the loves of my life since the pandemic began. Much of me still wants to wear exclusively sweatpants. But self-respect and mockery from various family members for wearing the same outfit every day of my life for 11 months is making me think it’s time for a change. Also to be addressed is the matter of not being able to fit into my pre-pandemic pants.
So I’m on the hunt for alternatives, and I’ve found some that are, frankly, getting me entirely too excited about pants at a time when we can’t really go anywhere. But it’s important to find a thrill where we can in these times.
Monica Cordera pale gray cotton maxi cotton pants, $245
These drawstring, sustainable pants get me excited for a post-vaccine world but are also aligned with the coming weeks of Netflix chills and glamorous grocery store runs.
Harris wool baggy pants, $156 (down from $209)
These are a nice and toasty option for the cold winter ahead.
Etro baggy fit trousers, $510 (were $850)
These velvet pants are soft and like sweatpants but fancier.
