MEmama Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I’m desperately looking for a pair of lightweight lounge pants. Requirements: They should be thin and very breathable, preferably a cooling material (like the cooling pajamas from Soma), full length—not capris, and banded or fitted at the ankle so they don't ride up. I do not like my skin exposed or touching itself when it’s hot. A stretchy waist would be best for sticky day comfort. Ideally they should be looser than leggings, but not uncomfortably baggy. Also ideally they are black so I can wear them with any top. I do not care for printed pants. Does anyone have ideas? Quote

The look nice, but they are $$$ for sweat pants. 1 Quote

Those look nice! But hot. I actually don't need them to be super nice. I really just want them for around the house when it’s too hot to move. Somas banded cooling pjs would work great if they came in black or at least weren’t printed. Quote
MercyA Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Lots of options here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jogger+pants+women&crid=3B1PO28XB2Z6A&sprefix=jogger+pants%2Caps%2C218&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_12 Champion jersey jogger pant looks promising. Maybe an Amazon version? These have a ton of great ratings. Edited June 20, 2020 by MercyA 1 Quote
Bambam Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 If you are plus size, I bought a pair of these 3-4 years ago from JunoActive and they are lightweight and cool. I didn't get the black, I have a grey pair. https://junoactive.com/collections/leggings-pants/products/pear-fit-pant?variant=13531991670850 1 Quote

Try searching for black linen pants and maybe you will find a style you like. https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=531156002&vid=1&tid=atpl000007&kwid=1&ap=7&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAjw57b3BRBlEiwA1Imytr5d9Ugv7z4ZSk8y5qbL_OD2CwMYcUO6A-DBHhUlILDFmx8tPrCQ8hoCXOUQAvD_BwE#pdp-page-content https://factory.jcrew.com/p/womens-clothing/pants/straight/linencotton-drawstring-pant/AL464?color_name=black&noPopUp=true&srccode=Paid_Search|Shopping|Google|PL_ACQ_XPROD_BESTSLLRxxxxx_EVG_ROAS_XXX_COUSA_EN_EN_A_FACT_GO_SE_PLA_xxxxxxxxxx,Top_Sellers_x_xxx,PRODUCT_GROUP,71700000065788869,58700005802297322,p53603392632&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Paid_Search&utm_campaign=PL_ACQ_XPROD_BESTSLLRxxxxx_EVG_ROAS_XXX_COUSA_EN_EN_A_FACT_GO_SE_PLA_xxxxxxxxxx,Top_Sellers_x_xxx&utm_content=Shopping&NoPopUp=True&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAjw57b3BRBlEiwA1ImytmdmaBKc_yjFW1kAC-ToC4W7r6pNuIaDGaOHkryF9y_kGSKlVGgRpBoC0UMQAvD_BwE Found one more that is black linen and more fitted toward the ankle. Since they are a crop style, maybe you could order a tall to get more length? https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=551155072&vid=1#pdp-page-content Linen is a good idea. I actually just bought the jogger’s from Athleta but the fit didn’t work for me so I returned them. They were almost perfect, though. The others look great too— off to check sizes! I’m only 5'3 so often crops go to my ankle anyway. A tall would certainly be full length on me. Good idea! Quote

ktgrok Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 They are not gathered at the ankle, but don't ride up on me - Old Navy has linen blend pants. https://oldnavy.gap.com/products/linen-pants-for-women.jsp 1 Quote
Ottakee Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) No idea what store these are from but they are super lightweight, have bands at the ankle, pockets and are solid black. Elastic waist and soft and comfy. Ok. These look similar. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Secret-Treasures-Women-s-and-Women-s-Plus-Short-Sleeve-Top-and-Joggers-2pc-Pajama-Set/296358295?variantFieldId=actual_color Edited June 21, 2020 by Ottakee 1 Quote
Zuzu822 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 I've been living in these, which are unfortunately cropped (I'm 5'3" too), but otherwise meet your requirements. Maybe there's a full-length version? Old Navy had something similar a few summers ago, and I've been kicking myself I didn't buy more of them. These are the closest I've found. https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Essentials-Womens-Studio-Stretch/dp/B07FK7TSQ1?ref_=ast_sto_dp Quote
