In the age of perennial sales, it might seem silly to pay full-price for anything. But I bought this pants last year, wore them so frequently they wore out, and was overjoyed to learn they were back. So full-price is still a bargain in cost per wear. Meet my favorite work pants.
These Ann Taylor High Waist Side-Zip Pants are amazing (00-18, petite).
First off, the side zip is flattering because it lays flat across the mid-section. No annoying tab front closure poking out through your blouse. And it is more forgiving to weight gain than a front closure (I wore mine for the first four-months of pregnancy).
Second, the material is a great weight. It’s not too thick, not laughably thin. It drapes beautifully.
Third, I bought both colors. This is not a game. Pants you love wearing is serious business.
Fourth, I may have also bought a backup pair.
If you want to wait for a sale, that’s your affair. On a cost-per-wear basis, I will likely come out seriously ahead on this purchase at any price, and I am not willing to risk being without both colors in my needed size. These pants are too important to my fall/winter wardrobe.
Pick them up today or bookmark them for the next sale, your choice.

“This is not a game.” Hahaha. I appreciate the personality behind your words and you are very convincing! I enjoy hearing about these wardrobe workhorses.
Side zip pants are much more flattering than front zip because there’s no extra fabric. I wish they were easier to find. Talbot’s has been my source for years but I’ll try Ann Taylor.
