The Best Comfortable Pants for Women
Besides treasured time with loved ones, comfy pants are among the gifts that keep on giving during the holidays. These stretchy-waistbanded bottoms let you eat to your heart’s (and stomach’s) content with plenty of room to accommodate that inevitable post-meal nap. But not everyone wants to throw on basic joggers, baggy jeans or a nap dress — some occasions call for a dressier wardrobe, which is why we’ve rounded up some of the best pull-on pants for staying stylish during Thanksgiving and the rest of the year’s gourmand feasts.
Whether you’re hosting for the holidays (or even whipping up the entire menu) and want to room to move around, or you plan on a marathon of Friendsgiving meals all weekend, check out some of the most comfortable pants for women below, ranging from sweater-like bottoms from cult-favorite designers to sleek and stylish options from brands spotted on Hollywood stars.
