I Just Discovered the $40 Pants I'll Be Wearing All Winter Long

A few months ago, after searching high and low for the perfect pair of black athleisure pants, I purchased what I believed was an amazing pair for a whopping $140. When I received them in the mail, I was shocked to find that the material was practically as thin as one-ply toilet paper and that the quality definitely did not match the exorbitant price. Although I loved the fit and the style, I began the search for a similar pair of pants made with better-quality materials and at a much better price point. After a few extra weeks of searching, I stumbled upon one of the most fabulous pairs of pants I've ever owned: the Old Navy High-Waisted Stretch-Tech Wide-Leg Pants ($40).

These pants are a bestseller on the Old Navy website, and I can completely see why. If I had to describe what I like about them in only one word, I'd say "everything." I love the fit and the fact that they're high-waisted. I also love that they have zippered pockets on each side because I know that if I want to keep a credit card or my ID loose in my pockets, everything will be secure. I love the fabric, which is not only comfortable and breathable, but it's also quick-drying and made with UV sun protection in mind. Although they're lightweight, they're substantial enough to keep me warm when going for my morning hot-girl walks in 40-degree weather.

I'm 5'6 1/2", and before making my purchase, I was waffling between a small in a regular length or the tall length. After reading reviews, I opted to purchase a regular size small, but I think I could have gotten the tall version. The length I bought hits me below the ankles and doesn't look like a pair of floods by any means, but I prefer my pants to be on the longer side.

Because I love these pants so much, I do plan to purchase them in a few more colors, and I think I'll purchase them in the tall version so I can have them extra long.

I think these Old Navy pants are perfect for anyone who wants to look stylish but put in minimal effort. I currently own these pants in black, and they've been super easy to style. I can wear them with sneakers and a puffer jacket for running errands, or I can wear them with fuzzy slippers and a T-shirt when working from home. They also look great with an oversize sweatshirt and my favorite Birkenstock clogs. They're fashionable and in right now, but they're still extremely comfortable, which makes them a pair of pants I reach for constantly.

The Old Navy High-Waisted Stretch-Tech Wide-Leg Pants are available directly from the Old Navy website.
