dress code: the $22.99 better than pixies dress pants

the D R E S S pants debacle

It’s very rare I am able to find a pair of dress pants that check every box. Comfortable? Pockets? Fit normal in the thigh area? Right length? Holds shape? Stays nice after washing? Can wear with tucked and untucked shirts? Reasonably priced? Literally almost impossible.

In my teaching career, I’ve probably ordered about 50 different pairs of dress pants and usually return them. For whatever reason, dress pants don’t fit me consistently and there is always something I don’t like about them. For the most part they are either too long or too short or baggy in the upper thigh area. Most of my clothes are still in storage, including every pair of my dress pants… which prompted me to take a risk and order 10 different pairs from 10 different places and officially becoming obsessed with a dress pants brand.

These Marycraft dress pants from amazon are the best pair of dress pants I’ve ever worn/owned in my entire life. No joke. I’ve ordered 6 pairs. I’m sold. So so sold.

Also, not that this matters but… I’m not working with this brand or anything… I’m actually just that obsessed.

the D E T A I L S

The Marycraft dress pants literally feel like you’re wearing yoga pants. They are that comfortable. When I first held them up I thought they looked too casual. Once I put them on, professional vibes all day. They are stretchy, sculpt your curves, high waisted, and wash incredibly nicely.

These amazing pants come in 8 different colors, sizes 0-22, and only cost $22.99.

I don’t always order things on backorder but when I do (and the only time I ever have) it’s these pants. I currently own two pairs and have three additional arriving shortly.

O U T F I T details

I just realized that the majority of items worn in both these outfits are older. Below is a lookbook with similar products to the ones I’m wearing 🙂

Hope you enjoy these amazingly versatile work pants!
