Customer Reviews
Reviews Summary
Shoppers describe these as the pants they “live in” because they feel soft and relaxed like luxe pyjamas, but still look polished enough for lunch, work, travel or a casual night out. The modal fabric, wide waistband, deep pockets and cuffed ankle design make them especially loved by people who want freedom of movement without tight leggings. Many reviewers own multiple pairs, often returning for new colours after wearing them for yoga, Pilates, long-haul flights and everyday errands.
What Customers Love Most
- Buttery-soft, silky modal fabric that feels “divine on the skin” and stays comfortable all day
- Relaxed, non-clingy fit that drapes over the tummy, hips and “lumps and bumps” without looking daggy
- Easy dress-up-or-down styling for yoga, shopping, work-from-home, brunch, travel and dinner
- Wide, soft waistband that does not dig in, feels supportive and stays up during yoga or movement
- Cuffed ankles and useful deep pockets, especially appreciated for travel, short heights and keeping hems off the floor
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Yoga, slow yoga, yin, power yoga and stretching when customers want “something looser” than leggings
- Pilates, reformer Pilates, gym sessions, walking and light everyday exercise
- Long-haul flights, overseas trips and travel days where comfort, warmth and no dragging hems matter
- Lounging at home, working from home, weekend errands, school runs, dog walks and “Sunday slouching”
- People who dislike tight waistbands or Lycra, including curvy bodies, petite wearers, post-surgery recovery and anyone wanting soft pants around the tummy
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Fabric is repeatedly described as modal, Tencel Modal, plant-based, breathable, soft, silky and a “great weight” without feeling heavy
- Many customers say the pants wash well, “wash like a dream”, dry well, need no ironing and do not lose shape or feel after washing
- Construction details customers notice include deep usable pockets, quality sewing, a flattering drape, cuffed hems and a wide waistband that feels comfortable rather than tight
Customer Fit Feedback
The pants are designed to be loose and drapey rather than fitted. Many size 10–12 reviewers preferred Small, size 12–14 customers often liked Medium, and size 16–18 customers reported success in XL, XXL or 2XL depending on how roomy they wanted the waist and legs. Petite customers around 150–157 cm often liked the cuffed ankle because it prevented hemming, while some taller reviewers around 171–183 cm found the regular length just grazed the ankle or wished for a tall option. The wide waistband is frequently praised for being soft on the tummy, not digging in and staying in place during yoga.
What Customers Say
- "They feel just like my favourite PJs but look so good I can wear them anywhere."
- "I literally wear them constantly, wash them, then put them back on."
- "The cuff at the bottom is perfect — you don’t want your pants dragging on the plane toilet floor on a 14 hour flight."
Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers based on customer reviews
Comfort
Are these pants actually comfortable enough to wear all day (or even travel in)?
Yes—comfort is the #1 theme across reviews, with many people saying they “live in them” and buy multiple pairs. Reviewers frequently mention wearing them from home lounging to errands and even sleeping in them because the fabric feels silky/“buttery soft.” They’re also repeatedly called out as ideal flight pants for long-haul travel due to the relaxed fit and soft waistband.
Based on 140 customer reviewsWhat’s the waistband like—does it dig in or roll down?
The wide/high waistband is repeatedly praised for being soft, flattering, and supportive without feeling tight. Multiple reviewers with a tummy, post-surgery sensitivity, or bloating say it doesn’t dig in and stays in place during movement. A few mention it can sit high on short-waisted bodies, but it can be comfortably folded down when needed.
Based on 28 customer reviewsIs the ankle cuff tight around the legs?
Most people like the cuff because it keeps the pant leg in place (especially for yoga and travel), but a small set of reviewers say it can feel tight and leave marks. One review mentions it may loosen with wear, while others find it “perfect” and secure. If you’re sensitive around ankles/calves, this is worth noting.
Based on 4 customer reviewsAre they good for post-surgery, sensitive tummies, or pressure around scars?
Yes—multiple reviews specifically mention buying these for recovery, hospital stays, or avoiding pressure on surgical scars. Customers highlight the soft, wide waistband and the absence of a tight elastic band as major benefits, while still feeling secure enough to move around. Several people say they ended up wearing them far beyond recovery because they were so comfortable.
Based on 6 customer reviewsFit & Sizing
Do they run true to size, or should I size up/down?
Most reviewers describe the pants as true to size, but a noticeable group says they run slightly generous and prefer sizing down for a more secure fit (especially for yoga/active wear). Several customers mention buying their usual size for a relaxed lounge fit, then choosing one size smaller for a neater waistband/overall fit. If you’re between sizes, reviews lean toward choosing the smaller size unless you want extra drape and room.
Based on 32 customer reviewsI’m short—will I need to hem them, or does the cuff help?
Many petite/short reviewers say the ankle cuff is a big reason these work for them, often avoiding hemming altogether. Customers around 150–157cm frequently mention the pants sit well because the cuff holds the length in place. A smaller number of short customers still needed alterations, so it may depend on your leg length and how you like them to sit.
Based on 16 customer reviewsI’m tall—are they long enough, or do they run short?
Tall reviewers are mixed but generally positive: several around 176–183cm say the regular length grazes the ankle or sits just above it. A few taller customers say they’d prefer extra length or wish a “tall/extra long” option would return, and some report they’re slightly short. If you’re tall and want full-length coverage, expect more of an ankle/7-8 style on some bodies.
Based on 10 customer reviewsPerformance
Are these good for yoga or Pilates if I don’t want tight leggings?
Yes—many customers specifically bought these for yoga/Pilates and call them a comfortable alternative to tights/lycra. Reviewers mention the fabric is breathable and easy to move in, and the cuffed ankle helps keep the hem out of the way during poses. People also like that they feel “loose but not wide-leg,” making them practical for classes and then wearing out afterwards.
Based on 45 customer reviewsDo they have pockets, and are they actually usable/deep?
Yes—pockets are mentioned often, with several reviews calling them deep enough to be genuinely useful. Customers report fitting a phone in the pocket and that the pockets don’t ruin the drape or overall fit. If pockets are a must-have for errands or travel, reviewers consistently rate these highly.
Based on 18 customer reviewsStyle & Versatility
Can I dress these up, or are they basically just lounge pants?
A lot of reviewers say they can easily be dressed up or down, wearing them to lunch, dinner, casual parties, and even work with a jacket or nicer top. Multiple customers mention pairing them with Dharma Bums tops (like the Athena) to create a more elevated outfit. The common theme is “PJ-level comfort” but still stylish enough to leave the house confidently.
Based on 38 customer reviewsDo the colors match the website photos (especially red, sage, and blue)?
Many customers love the colors and several say the red/cherry tones match the catalog well, but there are some mismatches reported. A few reviewers note sage appeared darker than expected, china blue looked more grey than blue, and one red/mulberry tone read more burgundy/brown-red in person. If you’re very particular about shade, expect slight variation depending on the colorway and screen settings.
Based on 6 customer reviewsMaterial & Quality
How does the fabric feel—lightweight, breathable, and suitable for summer AND winter?
Reviews frequently describe the Tencel/Modal fabric as silky, buttery soft, and breathable, with many saying it works across seasons. Some customers specifically say it’s not hot in summer and is comfortable in humid weather, while others like the slightly thicker “great weight” for cooler months and air-conditioned flights. A small number note it can feel a bit warm on very hot days, but rolling the waistband down helped.
Based on 22 customer reviewsWill the fabric show marks like oil spots or snag easily?
A small number of reviewers mention the fabric can show oil spots if something drips on it, and one customer reported a small snag and felt it wasn’t as durable as bamboo. Most feedback still rates the fabric quality highly, but it’s worth being mindful with stains and rough surfaces. Darker colors (like black) are mentioned as a practical choice if you’re worried about visible marks.
Based on 3 customer reviewsCare & Maintenance
Do they wash well—do they hold their shape over time?
Most reviewers report they wash beautifully, are easy wash-and-wear, and don’t need ironing. Several long-time owners say they’ve worn pairs heavily and repurchased after years, and others note they don’t go baggy at the knees or lose shape. A few shoppers mention concerns about long-term durability (waistband stretch or a snag), but the dominant feedback is positive on wash performance.
Based on 20 customer reviewsDo they dry quickly after washing?
Drying time seems mixed: most people call them easy care, wash-and-wear, and quick to maintain, but a few mention they can take ages to dry. This may depend on climate/humidity and how thick the fabric feels in certain colorways. If you rely on fast drying (e.g., travel laundry), line-drying may take longer than expected for some customers.
