Women's Drawstring Flared Leg Pants

Flared pants with a drawstring, because who says comfort and drama can't share a pair of legs. The waistband is wide and sits high, a drawstring ties at the front, and the legs are fitted through the hip before opening up into a long flare. The cotton blend is thick enough to keep its shape, so the flare falls clean instead of floppy. They feel like your favorite sweatpants and look like a bigger decision. Throw them on with a cropped tee, and you've got a seventies-meets-streetwear look in minutes.

We picked this one for the flare. The wide, smooth waistband sits flat against the stomach, a white drawstring hangs at the center, and the legs run close through the thigh before swinging out from the knee in a clean bell shape. The back has two flap pockets that add a little detail where you don't expect it. The fabric is thick and soft, with a brushed feel that keeps you warm in cooler weather.

It comes in Flower Gray, Apricot, Black and Navy Blue. Flower Gray is the classic sweatpant shade, Apricot is warm and soft, Black is the sharp one, and Navy Blue is the deep, moody one with a pop of white from the drawstring. Wear them with a cropped hoodie and platform sneakers, a fitted baby tee and boots, or a bodysuit and a bomber.

For the one who wants sweatpants with some swagger. The flare, the drawstring and the thick fabric give these a retro, street and loungewear look that works from errands to concerts, and the flap pockets on the back keep them from looking like everyone else's. They layer well for fall and winter, they're easy to move in and they keep their shape after washing. Whether you're heading to a class or a night out, they'll look good with whatever you pair them with. Slip them on and go.
