The wide leg pants for mornings with no time to iron

Some mornings the outfit has to be decided in about two minutes, and the wardrobe rail is short on options. These wide leg pants are made from a textured waffle fabric with an elastic waist, and the listing says they pretty much never wrinkle.

The fabric is 97% polyester and 3% spandex, so it is mostly a synthetic with a little stretch built in. The listing describes a subtle waffle texture, a breezy drape, and a surface that pretty much never wrinkles. That last claim comes from the listing, and it is the sort of thing that depends on how you pack, hang and wash, so treat it as a description rather than a promise.

There are no buttons, zippers or hooks. The waistband is elastic, which the listing says gives a snug fit without being too tight. The legs are wide, with pleats that add texture, and there are two side pockets for small items. The listing says the cut works with fitted tops, blouses and oversized sweaters, which is a fair range for a small wardrobe where one pair has to cover the office and the weekend.

Length is the detail to check first. The inseam comes in 26, 28 and 30 inches, and the listing text does not state a rise measurement or a waist range, so check the full listing before ordering. The colors listed are Khaki, Latte and Mink Ash. Care is machine wash or hand wash, and the pants are imported. Whether the drape feels breezy or a bit too light is a matter of taste.
