Do soft lightweight pants exist?

You’d be best served by going into the store to find it since it is out seasonally (I have to think it would be in stock this time of year).

This. Maeve pants are terrific.

What are people liking the best? The number of choices is overwhelming. Also, I know the ankle-length cut pants are in style, but they are not flattering on me - they cut off my legs and make me look short when I prefer to look long.

I love the Maeve pants. I have several colors and materials.

I also have the Ruti On The Go Work pants in 2 colors. I love them too - they are very versatile and also great for travel. They are definitely office appropriate if you want them for that but maybe not in trend-fearing DC.

The Athleta Brooklyn and Endless pants are awesome. Easy to dress up or down.

I can see the appeal but do others thing they are on the frumpy side? I think it's the taper.

I like Ruti On The Go Work pants, but I can't see myself wearing them to work at a law firm. I wish.

These are not breathable for summer. I have a few pairs and wore them on work trips and was miserable when walking outside. Love the Maeve Collette pants that others have mentioned.

Do the Maeve Collette pants get wrinkly as the day goes on? Does anyone have the beachy linen ones, and how do they hold up throughout the day? The Magic Fabric Full-Length pants look cute, too.

Do you seriously spend almost $200 on a pair of what look like sweat pants? So schleppy.

LOL PP! Go to the Deloitte Face thread.
I think if you work in "PR!" or "Marketing!" consulting or any "Creative!" space, you show up in these because you're so cool and nonchalant and you just need your soy latte and laptop and you can sit in the communal brainstorming room, nay brainhurricaning room and solve all the world's problems! In those pants. Also you have to weigh 115.

I don't work for Deloitte or in any "creative" space and I wear pants like this. They are comfy and look good on me.

It sounds like you are mad about other women being thinner than you are. It's okay if these pants don't work for your body, but you don't have to put down people who wear them.

I truly am curious about what work you do that you can get away with wearing these. I'll admit they look comfortable, but I could not wear anything like this to my workplace. I absolutely do not work for Deloitte, nor am I a creative. I work for a tech company that remains business casual.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned the Aritzia pleated pants. I think they're ugly, but the entire universe wears them all the time so they must be comfortable?

You just wear them with something like a tee, cropped cardigan and mary jane flats. Not that hard.

They might be awesome but I'd die of sweat in that much polyester.

Rather look a little rumpled in linen/cotton or something.

It's also not that hard to answer the question instead of posting something totally random.
