I ended up ordering 10 pairs of lounge pants from Amazon. I swear, it wasn’t intentional. I was looking for a lightweight lounge pant for fall and late spring in the northeast. I ordered 4 pairs at first and was disappointed by all of them, so I ordered more. Thankfully my next batch had winners. Here are my reviews and rankings. (1st Place) Ritiriko Women's Joggers with Pockets, High Waist Yoga Capri Pants for Running Workout Lounge: My favorites! I pulled these out of the bag and I thought they would be too tight and small. The waist was the perfect fit and it managed to be fitted without feeling tight. The material isn’t cozy or super soft but it is smooth and very comfortable. (2nd Place) SPECIALMAGIC Sweatpants Lounge Wear for Women Ankle Length Loose Fit Casual Pants Baggy Workout Active Cropped: My second favorites! I am 5’4” and these hit me right at my ankle but could also be pulled up. These were SO SOFT and the waistband was comfortably loose. These are a lower-quality dupe for Boody Eco Wear lounge pants. I actually returned the Boodys because for $60+ I expected something softer. Something like this! Of course, Boody’s lounge pants are made of bamboo and sustainable, whereas these are rayon, so, of course not ideal, but so dang comfy and only $20. Also, I think these look a little better on than pictured. I got it in black. (3rd Place) Yogipace Petite/Regular/Tall Women's 7/8 On The Fly Pants Drawstring Casual Lounge Joggers Travel Sweatpants: I reaaaally liked these. At 5’4” the 27” length was perfect. These had a little more weight than most other pants. Very sturdy waistband. If you don’t like cozy soft and prefer a smooth, heavier soft (hope that makes sense), these will be good for you. These are nylon. The waistband on these was pretty loose and there’s lots of slack in the drawstrings for adjustment. You might want to consider sizing down, and you definitely want to if you have a small waist. Amazon Brand - Core 10 Women's Yoga CoreCloud Fleece Jogger: These were a great, comfy, cozy, fleece-lined lounge pant but were too warm for what I was looking for. These would be great in the winter. I didn’t keep them because I already have winter lounge pants. Very similar to the Ann Taylor LOFT Outlet Super Soft line. The price point is about the same if you watch LOFT Outlet sales. I prefer the LOFT Outlet style because they are cozier and the waistband is thick and high-rise. KEEPBEAUTY Womens Active Yoga Sweatpants Loose Workout Joggers Pants Comfy Lounge Pants with Pockets AND DIBAOLONG Womens Yoga Pants Wide Leg Loose Drawstring Comfy Lounge Workout Sweatpants with Pockets Cameo M ^ These are the same! The exact same, folks. Lol. So the material of these was suuuuper soft and cozy, lightweight, loved it. The catch was the waistband. I found it a little tight and uncomfortable. And it didn’t have a drawstring to loosen. This wasn’t a sizing issue, because the legs were loose even on my thick thighs. If you have a slim waist you should def get these. If you don’t you might want to avoid. CRZ YOGA Women's Stretch Lounge Sweatpants Travel Ankle Drawstring 7/8 Athletic Track Yoga Dress Pants: These seemed to be high-quality and were very comfortable without being cozy soft. I definitely wondered if I could get away with wearing these to the office; they were very flattering. These would be perfect for wearing over short shorts or a bathing suit in the winter on the way to the gym or studio. I am not keeping them for lounge purposes. Sarin Mathews Womens Yoga Pants Pleated Wide Leg Loose Comfy Lounge Pants Workout Sweatpants for Women with Pockets: These are a really soft, comfortable material and fit beautifully. You could totally get away with wearing these to the office. If you practice yoga and don’t like how fitted typical yoga pants are, these are a great alternative. I don’t think the model photo does these pants justice. Watch the product video to see how they really look. Again, though, they were tight in the waist for me. I don’t mind this amount of tightness when I am out and about but I wanted something looser for lounge. I could have sized up but the pant legs were already a tad too long on me. BALEAF EVO Women's Skinny Cotton Joggers Sweatpants Tapered Casual Lounge Jogging Pants Fitted Yoga Workout Pocketed Pants AND BALEAF Women's Cotton Sweatpants Cozy Joggers Pants Tapered Active Yoga Lounge Casual Travel Pants with Pockets ^ Again these are the EXACT same thing. Even though I ordered these in the same size, one arrived with an inch larger waistband than the other. I don’t know which one is which because other than that they are identical, so, sorry, can’t advise as to which one you should get if you want the larger waistband. Lol! I would wish you luck in figuring it out, but honestly, these aren’t great. The material is rough and the seams are unattractive. The Amazon joggers are a much better buy.
