If you've been living in sweats and loungewear for the last year, you're definitely not alone. After all, once you go all-in on elastic waistbands, even your favorite pair of jeans can be a tough sell. However, when you need — or want — to look a bit more polished, pants are the perfect go-to, and slip-on versions are a creative compromise to buttoned-up alternatives.
Because it could be said that zippers are so 2019, we picked out 15 pairs of proper pants from Banana Republic that are both comfy and cute. Each of these can be dressed up or down, and don't just include cotton leggings or joggers as there are cashmere, satin, and sequined choices, too. Say hello to pull-on pants and check out our favorites ahead.
Pull on the Banana Republic High-Rise Wide-Leg Sequin Pant ($75, originally $110) and any day — and place — is a party.
We think this Banana Republic Tencel Paperbag Jogger ($49, originally $90) is oh-so-stylish with ankle booties.
While these Banana Republic High-Rise Ponte Legging ($70) are a pull-on style, there is a hidden zippered pocket at the back for your phone, cash, or keys as needed.
The Banana Republic Wide-Leg Satin Pull-On Pant ($49-$71, originally $90) is as silky as pajamas but looks so polished when you wear it out, too.
Bring your favorite sweater coziness down to your legs with the soft Banana Republic Ribbed Sweater Pant ($99).
Nope, there are no zippers on this slim-fitting Banana Republic Pull-On Pant ($99).
The stretchy Banana Republic Scuba Knit Commuter Pant ($70) gets that name from its fabric made from scuba-style neoprene.
It's simply absolutely impossible to find a softer pant than the 100-percent cashmere Banana Republic Cashmere Cargo Jogger ($249).
We love the look of the Banana Republic On the Go Legging ($70) . . . even if we're only going to the fridge. (And there is UPF 50+ inside the material if we do venture out.)
So many teensy pleats make this shiny Banana Republic High-Rise Wide-Leg Plisse Pant ($58-$64, originally $90) shine in our books.
This slim-fitting Banana Republic Twill Utility Jogger ($49-$80, originally $80) can be dressed up or down depending on your day's agenda.
The oversized Banana Republic Baby Terry Cropped Lounge Pant ($41, originally $70) is the perfect medium weight, lighter than the average fleece-sweatpants option.
The Banana Republic Wide-Leg Sweater Pant ($110) comes in four colors — including camel and this rich forest green — and there's a petite-length, too.
Sure, you may not be commuting anywhere these days but the Banana Republic Cozy Fleece Commuter Jogger ($70) is just as comfy on your couch as it is in the car.
You'll want to wear the warm Banana Republic Washable Merino Sweater Jogger ($68, originally $99) everyday so it's a good thing it can go right in the machine.
