After a decade of only wearing dresses and skirts, I’m back in pants.  Mostly because I’m cold, partially because I don’t want to shave my legs or be pinched by tights.  This is what old age looks like — no longer giving any f*cks.

Sadly, Ann Taylor stopped making the stretchy, side-zip black pants that I have been living in all winter (they still make them in grey, though).  So I needed to go searching for something similar, and I found two options.

NYDJ Scuplt-Her is a great line of pants that are both comfortable and flattering.  Their wide-leg, pull-on pants are perfect for work, but feel like the yoga pants you wore in the early-2000s.  They make several styles of skirts and pants, but the wide legs and the straight legs are great for work.  The leggings are also a nice, heavy material that looks more like a skinny pant than a legging.

Sizing on these pants is XXS to XL, which the guide says is 0 to 18.  NYDJ also has a plus-size Sculpt-Her line.

Spanx also makes a line of work-appropriate pants in soft, comfortable fabrics called The Perfect Pant.  I own their flare leg pants, which are great for traveling.  They also make straight and leggings styles.

They come in black and navy.  For sizing, you can find them in petite, tall and plus.
