Reviews Summary

Shoppers keep describing these as the pants they “could live in” because they feel like PJs but look elegant, structured and presentable. The soft modal fabric, wide non-digging waistband and flattering drape make them a repeat-buy favourite for travel, work, lounging, pregnancy, post-surgery comfort and everyday wear. Fit feedback is mostly true to size, though many between sizes prefer sizing down, and shorter customers often mention needing a hem or folding the waistband.

What Customers Love Most

  • Buttery-soft modal fabric that feels “like wearing PJs” or “like butter” against the skin
  • Wide, soft waistband that doesn’t dig in, pinch or feel restrictive around the tummy
  • Flattering wide-leg drape that “falls beautifully” without clinging or looking dumpy
  • Versatility for dressing up or down, from lounging at home to work, dinner and travel
  • Practical pockets, repeatedly called a “bonus” and a “game changer”

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Long-haul flights and overseas travel where comfort, no creasing and a polished arrival matter
  • Workdays, office wear, massage therapy, pilates teaching, laboratory work and 10-hour shifts
  • Lounging at home while still looking smart enough to answer the door or run errands
  • Pregnancy, postpartum, bloating, IBS, endo belly, post-surgery recovery and anyone avoiding tight waistbands
  • Smart casual outfits for brunch, lunch, dinner, theatre, business meetings, holidays and day-to-night packing

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric “washes well,” is easy care, and many reviewers say the pants need no ironing
  • Crease-resistant and travel-friendly, with customers arriving after flights or long sitting periods without wrinkles or knee bulges
  • Well-made modal/elastane fabric with enough weight to hang nicely while still feeling light, breathable and soft

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: Mostly true to size, with a noticeable split: many say true to size or perfect fit, while customers between sizes often recommend sizing down for a neater drape.

The waistband is soft, stretchy and forgiving, which suits curvy figures, bloating, pregnancy and people who dislike compression. Length feedback varies by height: customers around 163–178 cm often find the length perfect, taller shoppers appreciate the long leg, while many 150–160 cm reviewers say they need hemming, platform shoes, or to fold/pull up the waistband. Several size-specific notes appear: size 8–10 often chose XS or S, size 10–12 commonly liked S or M, size 14–16 often liked L, and size 16–18/20 customers reported XL or XXL working depending on preferred flow.

What Customers Say

  • "“They feel like pyjamas and don’t look like pyjamas.”"
  • "“From long flights to 10-hour work shifts, these pants do it all!”"
  • "“Comfort and elegance — the holy grail!”"

Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Comfort

Are these pants actually comfortable enough to wear all day (or on long flights)?

Yes—comfort is the most repeated theme in the reviews, with many customers saying they could “live in them” and that they feel like pajamas while still looking polished. Multiple reviewers specifically bought them for long-haul travel and reported arriving “without a wrinkle” and staying comfortable through multi-flight journeys. Several also mention wearing them for long work shifts (including 8–10+ hour days) without feeling restricted.

Based on 120 customer reviews
Is the waistband comfortable if I get bloating, IBS, endo belly, or just hate tight waistbands?

Yes—reviewers repeatedly praise the wide waistband as “non-invasive,” “doesn’t dig in,” and comfortable for sensitive stomachs and fluctuating bellies. Customers mention wearing them during endometriosis flares, IBS, menopause/peri symptoms, and days with bloating because the band feels secure without compression. Many also like that it can be worn high-waisted or folded down for flexibility.

Style & Versatility

Can I dress these up for work or dinner, or are they basically lounge pants?

Most reviewers say they’re genuinely day-to-night: comfortable enough for home, but structured and elegant enough for work, meetings, dinner, theatre, and travel days. Customers frequently mention styling them with jackets, blazers, heels, or a matching drape top to look “smart” while still feeling relaxed. A common description is “secret pajamas” that don’t look like loungewear in public.

Based on 95 customer reviews

Care & Maintenance

Do they crease or need ironing after washing or travel?

Many reviewers highlight that the fabric is “crease-free,” “non-crease,” or “wash and wear,” and several say they don’t iron them at all. Travelers repeatedly mention getting off long flights without wrinkles and being able to pack them easily. A few customers also note they dry quickly, adding to the low-maintenance appeal.

Based on 55 customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

How does the sizing run—should I stick to my usual size or size down?

While lots of reviewers call the fit true to size, a meaningful number say the waistband and overall fit can be generous and recommend sizing down (especially if you’re between sizes). Examples include size 10 customers buying XS, and multiple reviewers exchanging from L/XL down to M/L for a better fit. If you want a more drapey, non-cling look, some curvier reviewers also intentionally sized up.

Based on 40 customer reviews
I’m short—will these be too long, and is there a petite option?

Length is the most common “issue” mentioned: many customers around 150–163cm say they needed hemming or found them a bit long with flats. Others manage the length by wearing them higher on the waist or folding/rolling the waistband, and some choose the 7/8 length instead. Several reviewers explicitly ask for a petite/short length option, so if you’re petite, plan for alterations or styling adjustments.

Based on 30 customer reviews
Are they long enough for tall, long-legged people?

Many taller reviewers (around 170–180cm) say the length is perfect or “long enough,” and some specifically bought them because wide-leg pants are often too short. That said, a few very tall customers (around 5'11") wished for an extra-long option or found them slightly shorter than ideal. Overall, tall buyers seem mostly happy, with occasional requests for a tall length.

Based on 12 customer reviews
Are these suitable for pregnancy or postpartum?

Yes—several reviewers wore them during pregnancy (including late pregnancy) and postpartum and found the waistband accommodating and comfortable without cutting in. One customer even reported wearing them through an entire pregnancy without needing multiple sizes or maternity pants. The flexible waist and drape are repeatedly credited for comfort during body changes.

Based on 6 customer reviews

Performance

Do these have pockets, and are they actually usable?

Yes—pockets are mentioned often and considered a major plus compared with other brands. Reviewers call them “a bonus” and “a game changer,” and at least one customer specifically notes their phone doesn’t fall out. A small minority would have preferred a different pocket style, but overall pocket feedback is strongly positive.

Based on 25 customer reviews

Material & Quality

Is the fabric soft and breathable, and does it work for hot weather?

Customers frequently describe the modal fabric as “buttery soft,” “silky,” and “luxurious,” and many say it’s breathable and keeps them cooler than other pants. Several reviewers specifically mention wearing them in summer/hot climates and liking the airflow from the wide leg. A small number note the pants can feel a bit warm on extreme heat days, but the overall consensus is that they’re comfortable across seasons.

Based on 28 customer reviews
Is the fabric see-through or does it show underwear lines or lumps and bumps?

Multiple reviewers say the fabric has enough weight and drape that it doesn’t cling and doesn’t show undergarment lines, and at least one reviewer explicitly says it’s “not see through at all.” However, a smaller number mention the fabric is less “cottony” and may show some lumps/bumps depending on body shape and fit. If this is a concern, reviewers often suggest sizing for drape (not tight) or pairing with smoothing layers for a more polished look.

Based on 4 customer reviews
Do they stretch out or get looser as you wear them?

A handful of reviewers report the pants relaxing with wear and wish they had sized down, especially at the waist. Others say they keep their shape well (including no “baggy knees” after sitting or sleeping), and some mention no stretching after lots of washing. The pattern suggests the fabric can relax slightly, so if you’re between sizes and want a firmer fit, sizing down may help.

Based on 10 customer reviews
Do they hold up well over time and repeated washing?

Many customers say they “wash well,” “keep their shape,” and remain looking new after frequent wear, with some mentioning dozens of washes and no fading (especially in black). Several also note no baggy knees after long sitting. A rare issue mentioned is an occasional stitching fault, but the few who experienced problems say customer service resolved it quickly.

Based on 18 customer reviews

Value

Are they worth the price compared to cheaper wide-leg travel pants?

A number of reviewers admit they hesitated because of the price, but ultimately felt the comfort, fabric quality, and versatility justified it (especially after buying multiple pairs). People often mention cost-per-wear being high because they reach for them constantly for work, travel, and everyday. Several also note buying additional colors soon after the first pair, which suggests strong perceived value.

Based on 8 customer reviews
How is Dharma Bums’ customer service if I need an exchange or there’s a fault?

Customer service is repeatedly described as fast, helpful, and easy to deal with for exchanges and shipping queries. Reviewers mention quick replacements after faults and smooth size swaps, often with prompt delivery. While not everyone needed support, those who did generally report a very positive experience.

    Flattering pants

    I sent for these pants and loved them but I needed to exchange for the next size up. I was my fault as they were correctly sized, but I felt they would look better a little more relaxed. I found the return system to be easy and fast and I have been notified of progress since I returned them.

    I am very impressed with the efficiency and friendliness of this company .

    I’m looking forward to receiving the larger pair .
