My lone pair of ankle-baring pants had been now not reducing it in opposition to your 40-degree temperatures, so I caved, hit the mall, and grabbed this pair of wide-legged pull-on pants from Hole. I’ve damaged my self-imposed “store small or by no means” rule a handful of occasions this yr, however these pants had been value it – they’re 100% cotton, supremely snug, simple to regulate, and I believe they’ve good proportions! I’m trying ahead to layering them with my fleece-lined leggings this winter – there’s a ton of room in these broad legs to bundle up. Bless all of the Gen Zs who introduced again massive pants! (PS.
