They're really just ponte pants with a clever name.
(Also, I'm gonna be honest and say I wouldn't purchase another pair. Mine have crazy loose threads and stitching coming undone everywhere, which is stupid given how much they cost.)
Looks good. I understand how compelling the concept is. Currently enjoying Zella yoga harem pants and Zella Inspire capris for loungewear. The harem pants are tempting me to break my rules and wear them outside of workouts and home. They are thick enough to pass, perhaps...
I bought these pants from Lands End. They were perfect for a long airplane flight. I tucked the pants legs in my socks when I used the restroom, though, because the restrooms can get pretty gross.
I have a pair of not gear pants, ponte from Ann Taylor, that look exactly like yoga pants, so I don't feel I can wear them to work. I wish I had these instead!
viva, I also have a sweater from this brand that has been great, so the quality seems to vary widely. I also noticed someone commenting about the same issue as I had and they offered to send a replacement, so customer service seems pretty good.
I think everyone has room in their wardrobe for one pair of "gear/not gear" trousers (my current place below) They're great for travel, particularly. I do feel I need to remain vigilant -- the slippery slope theory, you know -- After all, my mom's generation had that 70's love affair with double knit pants. And let's face it --- they were drunk on comfort, but deluding themselves about style.
I have read about those too! And I do own two pairs of ponte trousers that have a nice fall and drape. My husband looks at them and calls them 'Trackpants' nonetheless!
Rachy - since you don't need formal trousers and don't love denim, I think this might be a good idea for you. Such pants look good while being very comfy. If not this brand, try another one! I do think that most of us can enjoy a pair of "gear but not gear" pants!
Beth Ann, this comment "And let's face it --- they were drunk on comfort, but deluding themselves about style" made me laugh so hard. Thanks for this evening's chuckle.
Very mysterious.
You know, I've never seen these things : ponte pants, yoga pants, skirt leggings, IRL.
Well, I suppose one could find yoga pants in gear stores - if one ever visited such a store.
