Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep coming back for these pleated wide-leg pants because they’re genuinely comfortable while still looking “smart enough for work.” The fabric gets called “buttery soft” and “beautifully soft” with a flattering drape that moves nicely, plus a cut that can be dressed up for dinner or worn casually for errands and lounging. Fit feedback is largely positive, though a noticeable group recommends sizing down—especially if you’re between sizes—and several mention the length runs quite long.

What Customers Love Most

  • Extremely comfortable, “dream” feel that people want to wear all the time (including at work)
  • Versatility: easy to dress up or down (office, shops, dinner, home lounging)
  • Soft, “buttery soft” fabric with a flattering drape/flowy wide-leg look
  • Work-appropriate “smart”/polished appearance (health practitioners, physiotherapy/pilates clinics, office wear)
  • Generally great fit, with repeat purchases and “high rotation” wear

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Office and clinic days when you need to look polished but stay comfortable (health practitioners, physio/pilates work)
  • Travel, including long flights and packing for comfort + style
  • Dinner, restaurants, and going out at night without changing
  • Anyone who wants pants that feel like loungewear but don’t look like it
  • Hotter climates where “cool,” light, flexible fabric matters

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric is repeatedly described as “beautiful,” “buttery soft,” and high quality with a nice drape/flow
  • “Wash well” is specifically called out, with people buying second pairs and keeping multiple colours
  • Practical design details get noticed (e.g., “decent sized pockets,” pleats that “elevate the look”)

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: mixed: mostly true to size, but many say runs large (size down if between sizes)

Multiple reviewers say “true to size” and that the fit/length is “just right,” but a solid cluster recommends sizing down (e.g., 10–12 choosing the smaller size; large swapped to medium; “runs large”). Length comes up repeatedly as quite long—several people expect to hem/shorten, while others (around 165–166 cm) note it can be close to perfect depending on shoes and preference.

What Customers Say

  • "“Feels like im wearing my pyjamas at the office.”"
  • "“Legit haven't taken these off since I got them, oops. They're a dream”"
  • "“They are dressy enough to wear out for dinner, perfect for the office, and so comfortable I want to wear them all the time.”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Style & Versatility

Can I actually wear these to the office, or are they more like lounge pants?

Most reviewers describe these as “pyjamas-level” comfortable while still looking polished enough for work. Customers repeatedly mention wearing them to the office, corporate settings, and health practices (physio/pilates), and also dressing them down for casual days. Based on review mentions, they’re a true work-to-weekend piece that doesn’t look sloppy when styled well.

Based on 13 customer reviews
Are they dressy enough for dinner or a smart-casual outfit?

Multiple reviewers say they can be dressed up for dinner, restaurants, and nights out, while still working for casual wear. Customers describe them as “smart enough” and “corporate enough,” especially with the nice drape and pleats. The overall theme is easy styling from casual to polished without changing into different pants.

Based on 8 customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

Do they run true to size, or should I size down?

Sizing feedback is mixed: several reviewers say they’re true to size, but a noticeable group specifically recommends sizing down because they “run large,” especially if you’re between sizes. Multiple customers were happier after swapping down a size (e.g., Large to Medium, or 10–12 choosing the smaller size). If you’re in-between sizes or want a more tailored look, sizing down is commonly suggested.

Based on 9 customer reviews
Do these pants drape and flatter, or do they cling in awkward places?

Many reviewers highlight the drape and “flowiness,” saying the pants fall beautifully and look very flattering. Customers mention the cut sits nicely and gives an elevated look (especially the pleated version). One reviewer specifically noted good stretch/flow for a “mum tum,” suggesting the fabric doesn’t cling harshly.

Based on 12 customer reviews
How long are they—will I need to hem them if I’m shorter or taller?

Length feedback varies by height: a taller reviewer (175 cm) said the length was perfect, while several others found them quite long and needed hemming. One reviewer at 5'4" had them taken up (just the hem/cuff width), and another mentioned they’re “quite long” in general. There’s also at least one comment saying the leg felt a bit shorter than preferred, so inseam experience can differ.

Based on 7 customer reviews

Material & Quality

How soft is the fabric—does it feel luxe or more basic?

A large share of reviewers call the fabric “super soft,” “buttery soft,” and “amazing,” with many saying it’s the standout feature. Several mention it feels dreamy and comfortable enough to wear constantly. People also describe it as having a nice “flow” rather than feeling stiff or scratchy.

Based on 16 customer reviews

Performance

Are these good travel pants (long flights, packing light, overseas trips)?

Yes—travel use comes up repeatedly, including long flights and overseas trips. Reviewers like that they’re comfortable for sitting for hours and versatile enough to re-wear in different outfits when packing minimal clothing. Several customers explicitly say they’ll be a travel staple.

Based on 8 customer reviews
Do they have pockets that are actually usable?

Yes—at least one reviewer specifically called out “decent sized pockets,” and others describe them as practical for many situations. While pockets aren’t mentioned by everyone, the feedback that does mention them is positive and suggests they’re functional rather than decorative.

Based on 3 customer reviews

Comfort

Are they lightweight and cool enough for warmer weather?

Several reviewers describe the pants as light and flexible, and one specifically said they’re “cool for hotter climates.” Another reviewer noted they felt heavier than expected but still liked the weight, so the feel may depend on what you’re used to. Overall, most comments lean toward comfortable, breathable wear rather than thick or restrictive fabric.

Based on 3 customer reviews

Care & Maintenance

Do they wash well, or do they need special care?

Care details are limited, but one reviewer explicitly noted they “wash well,” and others describe the fabric as “fantastic quality.” No recurring complaints show up about shrinking, warping, or the fabric deteriorating after washing in these reviews. If you’re concerned, consider following the brand’s care label, but the available feedback is reassuring.

This is my first pair of Dharmabum pants. They are super comfy with a lovely soft fabric and gives a wonderful drape. I will certainly be purchasing more just have to decide on what colour to get! 💛

I love these! The fabric is so soft and they can be worn to look casual or smart. I know they'll be coming with me whenever I travel as I only take minimal clothing that can be worn many different ways. Thanks for a great product.

Love these pants. They're corporate enough to wear to the office but can be dressed down to be more casual. The fabric is so soft and sits really nicely on and they're super comfortable. This was my first Dharma Bums purchase but it won't be the last.

    Disappointed

    Thought I ordered the Nomad pants. When I realized I’d made a mistake and ordered the wrong style ( I did so before delivery) I contacted customer service explaining my error. I was told that there was nothing that could be done as there was no exchange on the sale items. Fair enough- it was in black and white so I couldn’t argue. Could only hope there might be a bit of flexibility because I hadn’t received the parcel yet. I’d ordered Nomads because I had tried a friend’s and they were perfect. Would never deliberately order something with a pleat on hip - wrong shape for my body type. Sure enough, they arrived and don’t fit me well at all. I’m disappointed that I was silly enough to order something late at night and got the order wrong.. Also disappointed I didn’t get the Nomad pants which I really liked and disappointed that the company was unable to show more flexibility given I hadn’t received the delivery when I notified them. Still, I’ll give them two points because the fabric is nice and the unhelpful email from customer service was polite and acknowledged my disappointment was justified.

    Beautiful colour

    Cherry wide leg pants are just beautiful. I bought the wrap front top previously so can now wear them as a set. The modal fabric is soft & drapes well. I would give them 5 stars but I find them too long so will need to take them up.

    Great Color, very comfortable. Could be a little longer. The material is a little heavy, especially if you're packing for travel.
