Yes. These are ideal business casual pants for women. Pair them with a blouse and blazer for work or a simple top and flats for a more relaxed professional look.
Unlike stiff woven trousers, these ponte dress pants stretch and move with you. They hold their shape, resist wrinkling, and feel significantly more comfortable while still looking polished and office-appropriate.
😍 In LOVE with these with the Ava top!!
As a chiropractor I searched high and low for something I could wear to work other than a scrubs that was professional AND flexible! The out fit is easily dressed down for a regular day and up for business meetings. Please make in more colors!!!!!
So. Dang. CUTE! Extremely comfortable and very well made. They will be perfect for many work events where I have to look dressy, but want to be comfy at the same time. I’m 5’5, 145lbs and the medium fits great!!!
I have not worn these yet, but love the fabric and the length. This is my third purchase. I really like the clothes I have purchased but VERY disappointed in your customer service when needing to exchange an item. You say you hate bad customer service, but not getting a response to 3 e-mail doesn’t seem like good customer service to me. I am very hesitant to order again because of this bad experience.
The style of these pants are really nice. However, sizing is way different than Habit pants, and because the fabric is more structured, you can’t get away with any extra fabric. For a smooth fit I recommend going down a size. Also, the length is super long, even for tall ladies you will want to have them hemmed.
Great quality. Lays nicely on waste and hips. The tie belt adds style, while the lower legs add flare. Nice fit.
I have a small, and I’m 5’4” and weigh 113 lbs
Stylish pants…the other submitted reviews were accurate: the pants length is quite long, and I don’t wear heels, so I plan to hem up (about 3”—even though I’m 5’5”). Otherwise, nice fit.
These are so cute and so comfy at the same time! I love that I don’t have to compromise (cuteness or comfort) one or the other. They can easily be dressed down or up depending on the day. I’ve ordered them in every color:) I’m tall 5’ 9” and have trouble finding pants that I can wear a heel in, these are perfect!
The pants are exceptional!! I am very selective on my pants purchase, as I am not always the easiest to fit. These were SELECTED!! They are WELL made, quality material, fit just like was stated, have washed well and have truly been one of the best pants I have owned. My only request is...PLEASE make more colors. I have purchased all the colors you presently have. Just an added note...I purchased two pairs of both navy and black to put them away for the future...that is how much I like them!
I was unsure about buying these pants, but I need more slacks for work. I love them. They fit well, feel great on and are flattering to my figure. It's a big win.
Fit like a dream! I am 5'8" tall and weigh 140 pounds. I ordered the size small. Nice high waist, very fitted without being constrictingly tight, has stretch, long enough in the length that I can wear a low heeled boot with them and they don't drag. If you are shorter, I think these would be too long and you'd have to wear with heels or hem. I was surprised to find they have a back zipper but it's invisible and you don't feel it. I do not wear the included long tie thing with the pants. They lay nice and smooth across the tummy. Give them a try!
