Women's Vintage Wash Flared Sweatpants

Dark, washed and flared from the knee, these sweatpants look like a favorite pair you already broke in. The cotton has a faded, vintage finish with lighter patches across the thighs, a drawstring sits at the elastic waist and slim pockets open at the sides. The legs are slim through the thigh and then kick out into a wide bell at the hem. They come in five colors. Slip them on with a short top and you get a leg line that looks longer and a lot more interesting than the usual sweatpants.

We picked this one for the flare. The thigh is cut close and then the leg opens from the knee into a wide bell that falls to the floor. The waistband is elastic with a drawstring, slim pockets open at each side and the washed cotton has soft light patches and a faded edge along the seams. The back repeats the same smooth, flared line, with no extra pockets to break it up. In the lead photo, the black has a smoky, worn-in glow.

It comes in Cement Gray, Pink, Apricot, Black and Gray Blue. Black and Cement Gray are the sharp, smoky picks, Gray Blue is the cool, faded one, Apricot is the warm, soft neutral and Pink is the bold, bright one. Wear them with a cropped hoodie and chunky sneakers, a fitted tee and boots, or a boxy sweatshirt and platforms. Add a small bag and some sunglasses and you look like the one who finds the one good vintage store in every town.

Women who like a retro leg line will enjoy this pair. The flared cut, the faded wash and the soft cotton give them a casual, vintage and street look that works in spring, autumn and winter. The drawstring lets you set the fit, the flare balances a short top and the wash hides everyday wear. Pick your color and wear them from the store to the studio to the couch, in sneakers or boots, and they look right either way.
