The Dressy Sweatpant

I purchased these pants in July 2018 and wrote a review in August 2018. While I love the feel and comfort of these pants, even though they are too high-waisted for people my height (5'3"), I am adding a new review due to the quality of workmanship I have experienced. These are not inexpensive pants, and I would expect them to last a very long time, but I am very disappointed to say that as of January 2019 the stitching is coming out all around the waistband. I follow the care instructions and machine wash on the gentle cycle and lay flat to dry. Unfortunately, this issue also exists an Essential Short Sleeve Top I purchased in July 2018, although not with other Encircled tops I bought prior to that. The problem is fixable - I can restitch it myself or take it to a tailor, but I expect more from pants I paid $148 for. As I mentioned earlier, I do love the comfort of these pants, but I'm not sure I would purchase them again.

The material is great, and it washes well. They're so comfy, and I love that I can get away with wearing them at work. I wish I had sized up one because of how wide my hips are, as soon as I put them on I could hear a couple of strings snap. My waist is smaller but my hips are wider. They don't have the appearance of a looser fit in the thighs like I had hoped for, but now I know for my next order! Overall though, I do love them and wear them a few times a week. Worth the money for sure, and I'm happy to support ethical fashion. So glad I bought them!

I want to really love these, but the waist and rise are too long such that I need to wear the waist high or roll the waist. I am 5'3, 135 pounds and purchased medium in black. I have a short rise an am short-waisted. The pants are comfortable and could be fine for my business casual office- if I can get a tailor to fix the crotch without ruining the pants. Otherwise, the pants fit ok and are made with a beautiful, easy to care-for fabric.

I really like your collection. If I had the budget I would buy every piece!

I love how these pants look professional for work, but they're super comfortable and easy to move in. I strongly recommend these for healthcare professionals who move a lot at work (like me). Teachers would probably love them too. My only bits of feedback are 1. The knees tend to bag out after a few wears (they do go back after a wash) and 2. Hard to tuck chunkier sweaters nd sweatshirts into the soft waistband. This was my second pair. I now own navy and olive green. I bought the second d pair because every week I couldn't wait to wear these.
