Size Range: XS-3X (regular, tall) | Materials: Polyester, cotton, elastane | Inseam: Not provided | Washes: 5

These wide-leg jeans look so cool in every shade, but we’re especially partial to the dark gray wash. Pair them with a graphic tee or a sleek bodysuit depending on the look you’re going for—these more than lend themselves to versatility. In case you need more reasons to fall for these pants, they’re made from a lightweight, stretchy, quick-drying fabric, feature as many pockets as on regular jeans, and are designed with a wide and supportive waistband for added comfort.

These pants by Rag & Bone are genius: They’re made to look like just a regular pair of jeans, but they’re actually joggers. This means they’re totally comfy enough to laze around in yet stylish enough to dress up for work or play. Unlike other pull-on jeans, these ones trick onlookers into thinking they feature a button, zipper, and five pockets, even though they’re all elastic waistband and soft cotton. We repeat: genius.

Like Lee, Levi’s is a heritage denim brand (nay, THE heritage denim brand) that has branched out into pull-ons for customers looking for more comfort and flexibility.
