These chic trousers and dress pants have a secret — they're all pajama-level comfy

These billowy trousers are the epitome of "business in the front, party in the back." When they're walking toward you, they look like your average pair of dress pants, but just wait until you catch a glimpse of the back. You’ll find a super stretchy elastic waistband that gives you all the comfort and extra give you need. The stylish pleating on the front adds a lovely polished touch, making them great for any occasion. Perhaps best of all? They're machine-washable and dryer-friendly, so you won't have to stress over cleaning bills, like with so many dress pants.

"These pants are so nice. They are in style which is awesome, but also comfortable! They do have pockets (yay!) and fit true to size. I feel so fashionable in these and ready to go get business done in them," said one five-star reviewer.

The Spanx "Perfect" Pants are so great they made Oprah's Favorite Things List back in 2019. Lady O loved them so much, she personally called the brand's founder to thank her for designing them. "When I first saw these ultra-flattering pants, I immediately called Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, to applaud her," said Oprah. "In sizes XS to 3X, they have built-in tummy control, so you don’t need to wear compression gear underneath — you’re already Spanxed!"

And she's not the only one who is a fan, over 3,000 shoppers can't get enough of the four-way stretch bottoms too. "These look like expensive suit separates but fit and feel like yoga pants. I bought these in every color because I could live in them," raved one. We love the flare silhouette but you can check out the full collection, which also includes cropped wide-leg styles and straight-leg options.

Abercrombie and Fitch is well-known for making flattering and comfortable jeans (our Senior Deals Writer is a huge fan of the Curve Love Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean), but don't overlook their trousers — they’re just as good. This top-rated pair has a drawstring waistband so you can easily find your ideal fit and a flowy silhouette that lets you feel relaxed — but menswear cut and the poly-viscose blend ensures you never look frumpy. Even better, they are size-inclusive ranging from XXS to XXL, and come in short, regular and long lengths.

Customers can't get over how versatile the classic bottoms are. "Comfy and classy are two words not often matched but these pants are exactly that. I have three pairs of these pants now. They're a staple for me working from home. These and a sweater in winter look great. These and a tee in spring and fall — amazing. These with a cute black tube top on a summer night? Perfection. They're so universal, many of my friends have bought a pair for themselves," raved one.

You've likely already heard of Lululemon's uber-popular Align leggings and activewear staples, but did you know they also make everyday clothes too? This wide-leg trouser is made from the brand's much-loved Luxstreme fabric that is stretchy, breathable and sweat-wicking to keep you comfortable all day long. Another bonus? These feature belt loops, a faux fly and real pockets, so no one would ever think they’re actually pull-up pants. They even have an interior drawcord so you can customize your fit.

One shopper said, "Truly the perfect dress pant in the comfiest luxstreme that feels like nothing on the skin." While another wrote, "Just bought them in 3 colors. These pants are SO comfy, so chic, they are EVERYTHING. Truly the best casual pant lululemon has ever created." With reviews like these, consider us sold!

Slipping into these pull-on Vuori trousers will feel like wrapping yourself in a cozy hug, and they'll have you feeling put-together in no time, thanks to their sleek design and super-soft, stretchy fabric. The high waist is flattering on everyone, and the breathable material keeps you cool and dry all day long. Plus, they're made from mostly recycled materials, so you can feel great about your purchase.

One customer called them her "everything pants," before adding "I love these pants so much! Feels like you're wearing sweatpants and looks like dress pants. I bought all the colors."

Yes. These are called "yoga pants," but they are so versatile that the brand photo has them paired with a blazer and heels. Made with a soft, stretchy fabric that lets you move with no restrictions, these flattering work-friendly bottoms flare out at the knee and have belt loops to keep things looking sharp and hide the fact that they are pull-on pants. They are also wrinkle-resistant making them a great option for travel. With details like this, it is no wonder the design is a bestseller.

"I love these pants. They fit really well. I’ve won them at every holiday party I’ve had to go to. The material is very nice. They don’t wrinkle. You won’t be disappointed if you buy them," wrote one shopper.

We can't get over how pretty these paperbag waist palazzo pants are, and the fact that they are available in 24 colors and patterns makes it even better. The fabric belt hides the all-around elastic waist and once you tie it, the oversized bow also disguises a puffy stomach. Wear them with your favorite sweaters and turtlenecks now and once the weather gets warmer tuck in your favorite tanks and tees a sleek fitted look.

One shopper said, "These are so comfortable they feel like pajama pants but don't look like them. They are a good set of polished pants for work. I plan on buying other colors."
