I am a contributor who has been writing for Buzzfeed Shopping for five years by finding fashion, beauty, and home products to help you ~romanticize~ your life. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. I live and breathe in these pants every season. Also, every single time I wear them, I get so many compliments. They are comfy, breathable, and stylish, and I have these in different colors on my current WL. Promising review: "I ordered the cream pants to use on a summer vacation. I was very happy to receive high-quality pants. They were comfortable, breathable, and not transparent. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and I highly recommend it." —Rose Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, three lengths, and 29 colors/patterns). Promising review: "These pants are fantastic. They are lightweight, and I love where they sit on the natural waist. They are adorable paired with a fitted shirt/tank." —Christine Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and four colors). Promising review: "These are the best pants I’ve ever bought online. They’re so comfortable, stretchy, breathable, and not see-through. I get so many compliments on them, too! Definitely buying more." —erica taylor gonzales Get it from Amazon for $25.19+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 16 colors/patterns). Promising review: "The most comfortable pants I've ever worn. I don't even know why I would bother wearing anything else. Fits great, silky soft, lightweight, and breathable. Perfect summer pants when it's a tiny bit cool for shorts but too warm for yoga pants or jeans. Purple is just as vibrant as the pictures." —tatianna Get it from Amazon for $16.96+ (available in one size designed to fit sizes XS–L, another size designed to fit sizes XL–2XL, and another size designed to fit sizes 2XL–3XL, as well as extra-long sizes and in 41 colors/patterns). Promising review: "These are so comfy and great for summer. Breathable, thin, but quality material. I am getting more! They don’t wrinkle, great for travel. These have been my go-to pants all summer! Love, love, love." —Christine Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in eight colors). Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed!! I want alllll the colors! They fit perfectly, so comfortable, and SUPER cute and stylish! I get tons of compliments on them. Excellent quality and light, breathable fabric. Since I’m short, they fit right at my ankle and waistline. You will not be disappointed!" —M. Keene Get it from Amazon for $18.48+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors). Promising review: "I am a plus-size woman and finding clothes that fit is a challenge and a half. Finding ones that fit and are both comfortable and look good is next to impossible. Like finding a unicorn. These are a unicorn! They are the single most comfortable pair of pants I've ever worn and fully intend to order more in other colors over the coming weeks and months. They fit perfectly, cling without being stifling, just enough to be comfortable. I cannot recommend these strongly enough. The material is so soft and breathable. They aren't warm, I'll give you that, so definitely wear them when it's seasonally appropriate, but so comfortable I'll freeze happily." —Danika Brennen Get it from Amazon for $19.75 (available in sizes XS–5X and 30 colors/patterns). Promising review: "Stylish and comfortable. Love these pants! They feel great on and look put together easily. Probably will purchase in another color. Very light material, more of a spring/summer pant for sure." —Kathleen H. Get them from Everlane for $128 (available in sizes 00–16 and five colors). Promising review: "Soft and breathable. I love these pants so much that I bought a second pair; I bought them in black for work, and I find myself choosing them over all of my other (more expensive) work pants. I wound up buying the teal because in the picture it looked like a deeper, rich color; they're actually more vibrant and light, but I still love them anyway. Be sure to wear skin tone underwear; they're unfortunately a little sheer." —Rebecca Sarraga Get it from Amazon for $14.92+ (available in one size or S–XL and 23 styles/colors). Promising review: "I got three pairs of these for a family trip to Hawaii. I wanted something breathable, more so than my cotton knit pants, but that would be OK walking around in. These are fantastic. The fit is loose, and I did order a size up since linen does not stretch. The drawstring kept them plenty tight around my waist, but the legs were baggy and breezy, which is exactly what I wanted. The inseam is a bit short. On the bright side, it does mean that when I wore sandals, the pants were not hitting the ground. They were perfect for the beach, colors were spot on, and they also looked perfect for walking around farmers markets. Quality is great. No, they are not see-through, but I also didn't get white." —Lark Get it from Amazon for $15.35+ (available in sizes XS–6X and 11 colors). Promising review: "If you are on the fence with buying these pants...just do it! You won't regret it. They are SO comfortable, and the slits on the sides make them breathable to be able to wear in the summer. I bought the white, and they are NOT see-through. Wearing flat sandals and the pants a little past my belly button; they fell right at my ankle. You can dress them up or down." —lnarthur Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and six colors/prints). Promising review: "These pants were perfect. I bought them before a trip to Disney World, and they were great. Comfortable, good fit, and lightweight for the heat in Florida. So glad I had them. Looking forward to lots of wearing this summer, as I'm not a shorts-wearing person." —Nana Get it from L.L. Bean for $69.95 (available in sizes 2–26W, including petite and tall lengths, and three colors). PrivateTailor is a small biz making simple yet stylish pieces that are custom tailored to fit you perfectly. Promising review: "I LOVE these pants. It's the second pair I've ordered, and they are very versatile. I can wear them to so many different events or just shopping. Very cute and lots of compliments!" —Susan Get it from PrivateTailor on Etsy for $41.20+ (originally $102.99+; available in sizes XS–6XL, or you can provide your measurements for a custom size, and in three colors). Promising review: "I LOVE these pants. I bought one pair and loved them so much, I immediately bought another. They come in very cute colors, they are lightweight, and so convenient. I am constantly chasing around two toddlers, so love all of the pockets. I can chase them with my phone, their pacifiers, toys, snacks, etc. Very comfy and you can dress them up or down. You will not regret buying these pants." —Zach Thomas Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and six colors). Promising review: "The pants live up to the description! They look great and feel like you’re wearing PJs. Very soft fabric. Nice quality." —Karen P. Get them from J.J. Winks for $112 (available in sizes XS–XL, two lengths, and three colors). Promising review: "My new favorite pants for summer. They are so soft, breathable, while the material is not too thin and not see-through. Effortless, chic, and comfortable." —Helga Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 colors). Promising review: "Perfect, breathable pants for a long walk. I wore these pants on a 5-mile walk around some gardens in Hawaii, and I stayed cool and protected my legs from the sun. They’re very comfortable and well-made and have three pockets." —Sandy O. Get them from Quince for $42 (available in sizes XS–XL and 14 colors). Promising review: "They are beautiful, comfortable, pants and I feel super special every time I wear them. Pleats remained intact after washing, and pants did not shrink. Thank you for designing such elegant, beautiful clothing!" —anonymous08816 Get them from HSN for $35.98 (originally $89.95; available in sizes XXS–3X, petite fits, and four colors). Promising review: "I love the way these Adidas pants fit. The are so soft and comfortable. They are made well and high quality. I have three pairs. Would recommend!" —Branda Gray Get them from Amazon for $19.81+ (available in sizes XXS–4X, tall lengths, and 20 colors/styles). Promising reviews: "I think I'm up to six pairs of these in various colors. They are super comfortable for working out, lounging, and running errands. Pockets are always a plus! They wash really well." —J Cat "I love these joggers! I originally bought these for my mom, who lives in a nursing home. The Gym People Joggers are so soft and warm that they're perfect for any season. I’m impressed with the material thickness; it is not see-through, and the joggers hold their shape very well with no fading and are true to size. My daughter and I have bought several pairs for ourselves, and staff at the nursing home have asked where we order the joggers from and have since purchased this product. This product is of great value for your money. I will be purchasing more in the next year or so!!" —Tracy O Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 26 colors). Promising review: "I have had more black work pants than I can count, and when it comes to wide leg pants that fit my wide booty, these are goals. Vibes on these pants are immaculate. So flowy but profesh. So soft but sturdy. I just love them. I would get them in blue and brown if they made them." —Merla Get them from Loft for $41.93+ (originally $69.88+; available in sizes 00–16, including petite sizes, and four colors, plus two more colors). Promising review: "Love these pants! They are super comfy and nice and breathable. They were perfect for summer as a cute, casual everyday look or dressed up a little with heels." —colby Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors). Promising review: "Great jeans. Much more comfortable than regular jeans. Fabric is not super thin like some other jeans, but is still lightweight and has a little stretch in it. The waistband is very comfortable compared to other jeans. Only wide leg jeans I've found so far that aren't too long for me being 5'3" that I can wear with flats. They also can be dressed up with heels." —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 15 colors). Promising review: "Need to dress it up but hate skirts and dresses? This is perfect! I tend to dress more masc and have difficulty finding dressier or more formal items that I love wearing. This sleeveless pantsuit was a godsend. It’s formal, it’s cute, it’s comfy, and it’s not a dress or skirt! I got so many compliments while wearing this, too. I was definitely a little skeptical when I ordered it due to some of the other reviews, but for me, it’s a 10/10." —KB Get it from Amazon for $46.18+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors). Get them from Lane Bryant for $29 (available in sizes 12–28, including petite fits, and five colors). Promising review: "Love these pants! They’re so comfy and fun. I’m on the shorter side (5’5”) and I find that they’re slightly long on me but not so much that I have to hem them. Taller folks may find the length challenging. Very breathable and comfortable and true to size! They’re not see-through and are a nicer, thick linen, but I wouldn’t wear them with black undies." —Katie C Get them from Target for $40 (available in sizes XS–4X). Promising review: "Just got these in the mail and can’t stop wearing them. It’s as if your pants have air conditioning… They are so lightweight and cool material. I just ordered another color. I got the blue and just ordered the green! These are so breathable, and the fabric is amazing. I am, however, worried to wash them as I feel they will shrink, so I might hand wash for the sake of them being extremely comfy."—Moststeph Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors). * Investment-Worthy Fashion Finds That Last Multiple Years, According To Reviewers * Office-Appropriate Spring Pieces If You’re Trying To Nail The Cute But Professional Look * Fashionable Finds That Reviewers Don’t Just Love, But “Love, Love, Love” * Fashion Items For Anyone Who Yawns At The Idea Of Wearing All Black * Pieces Of Clothing That’ll Get Compliments — At Prices You’ll Brag About * If You’re In Your '30s, Here Are 31 Chic, Lightweight Pieces You’ll Want In Your Spring Closet * Basics That ~Basically~ Are Begging To Be Added To Your Wardrobe * These 31 Spring Pieces Are The Perfect Balance Between Comfort And Style (No, Really) Plus, dresses, workout sets and affordable athleisure pieces, jumpsuits, statement tops, and finds from Abercrombie, Amazon, Anthropologie, Athleta, Bloomchic, Boden, Eloquii, Everlane, Free People, Gap, Gap Factory, J.Crew, Lane Bryant, Loft, Lulus, Madewell, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Revolve, Quince, Target, Torrid, and Walmart.
