Soft Pants

It's a complete relief for those who are sick of jeans. These slouchy, loose and muffin-top-reducing bottoms are meant to be worn below your waist (stick your hands in your pockets and push down) and with a sprightlier, less-basic top. Accordingly, sport heels or sandals to work—but no sneakers.
