Where else can I find pants like this?

May 21, 2019 5:52 PM

I am looking for pants like these. Pretty much exactly like these, in black or dark grey (colorful inserts optional) only not sold out in sizes small or medium. I loathe "stretch" materials and am very much seeking to avoid them, which makes this search that much harder. However, MeFites always know great websites for unusual items, so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks in advance.

It appears from the website Danskin Now that this brand line is oriented towards larger sizes, so I'm not surprised they are missing small and medium sizes.
Would a loose fit pant like these work?

I have these and they're really great. They come out of the dryer beautifully. They're loose-fitting pants that are wide at the bottom (as opposed to joggers and that ilk that are tight at the ankle) with an elastic waistband and pockets, which makes them pretty similar to the ones you linked. The rise may be a bit higher but in the pants you linked they've yanked them down a bit, which is why they look so baggy in the crotch.

Those look pretty similar to the LuLulemon dance studio pant, which are great (I own several pairs). They have adjustable elastic loops at the ankle so they can be worn wide-legged (like the ones in your image) or cinched and blousy. They come in lined and unlined styles, and have been in heavy rotation in my workout/dance/lounge-wear wardrobe for years. They’re NOT cheap, sadly.
If you don’t want to pay ridiculous Lulu prices, I think you might be able to find something close by searching for studio pant knockoffs or lookalikes?

I have several pairs of the North Face Aphrodite 2.0 pants, and I adore them. Although they claim to have "a touch of stretch," they are definitely more of a hiking pant / windbreaker material as opposed to a leggings/yoga pant/actual stretch material. Available in regular and capri lengths, several colors including black and gray, and if you shop at REI you can get them for 20% off at the anniversary sale this weekend.

Have you checked Walmart’s website? It was my impression that DN was a line that was created for Walmart, but I could definitely be incorrect about that. (Also, Danskin Now, from what I’ve seen in stores is mainly a straight size line, with some plus sizes.)
