I've been living in these NEW YOUNG wide leg pants for weeks now, and they've quickly become my wardrobe MVP. The fabric is that perfect balance of lightweight and substantial - not see-through but breezy enough for yoga sessions or running errands on hot days.
The high waist is my favorite feature. It stays put without digging in, and creates such a flattering silhouette. As someone who's 5'4", I was worried about length, but they hit just right at my ankles - no awkward bunching or dragging.
Those side pockets! Game changer. I can actually fit my phone plus keys without that awkward bulge. I've worn these to everything from grocery runs (with sneakers) to casual work meetings (paired with a blazer). They transition seamlessly.
After multiple washes, they haven't pilled or lost shape at all. The drape still looks elegant, not sloppy. My only note: the lighter colors are slightly more sheer than the darker ones, so I save those for casual wear.
At this price point for three pairs? Unbeatable. I'm already planning to order more in different colors - they're that good.
