Banana Republic and Aritzia are both great for the price. Loft and Ann Taylor used to be so good, but everything just feels cheap from there now.

I also have found some nice ones at Old Navy. I like Aritzia, but I’m not paying over $100 for polyester pants. Their wool versions are nice. Generally, if you’re looking at synthetic materials for wash and wear, you may as well buy from ON/Loft/TJ Maxx.


+1 on Abercrombie. They also come in petite (short).


+2 they are great. And they're not high rise which so many other trousers are! Hate high rise.

High SPORT has various pants in their line. These are very expensive, but very high quality and flattering.

Everlane has frequent sales, you should be able to get pants for even $28 at times. Feel like sweats but hold up to frequent wear.

I like Dream Pants at Everlane. Someone here recommended. Try on in Tysons or Gtown store for size then order on line for more colors. The Dream line wears well, is easy care and super comfortable. The pants are a bit cropped so length works well for me.

For me, finding the right cut is key, and that depends on what is in fashion. Right now Talbots and Anne Taylor are my petite pant go-to places.

I don't understand how spanx pants became workplace acceptable. Neither gender should be wearing pants to a professional setting that hugs the butt and butt crack like leggings.


Haha ok well I was going to tell you how wrong you were, and link to my actually very work appropriate spanx pants that are in no way fitting as you described and … they changed the pants and the new versions are totally not appropriate so I withdraw my suggestion.


I thought the same until I bought this pair from Spanx:
https://spanx.com/products/spanxsmooth-perfectfit-ponte-wide-leg-pant?variant=43014328287443

Very comfortable, office appropriate, and machine washable. I wear them at least twice a week.


Based on the photos, I don't think these pants are work appropriate, sorry. And most women have bigger bottoms than models, so i suspect the average woman looks less appropriate in these in real life.
