The wide leg pants for a desk day that ends on the mat

These are wide leg pants with a high waist, made from 81% polyester and 19% elastane. The listing pitches them for yoga, the office and an evening at home, which is a lot to ask of one pair, so here is what the specification says about them.

The fabric is 81% polyester and 19% elastane, listed at 0.61 to 0.64 mm thick. The listing calls it soft, skin friendly and moisture wicking, and the elastane share is where the stretch comes from. Soft is a matter of taste rather than measurement, so treat it as the seller’s word. The listing also says the fabric may attract dust through static and suggests a lint roller for a quick refresh.

The cut has a high waist and a wide leg, with streamlined hips. There are two functional front pockets, two decorative back pockets and a faux fly, which the listing says gives a business dressy and classic look. The listing says the pants can be worn with pumps for a dressier outfit or with athletic shoes for a casual one. It recommends them for yoga, casual wear, office attire and lounging at home.

Check the inseam before ordering. The listing explains that the inseam is the inner leg length, from the crotch to the bottom of the ankle, not the overall length of the pants. The measurements themselves are not included here, so compare them with your own on the product page. Care is machine wash, and the pants are imported. The listing does not state a wash temperature.
