Striped Wide Leg Drawstring Pants

These are the pants you pack first and wear most. A drawstring waist means they fit on a good day and a big lunch day alike, the leg is cut wide so air moves through it, and the stripe running down the length keeps them looking like a choice rather than a comfort compromise. Seven colours, from white and black to dark brown, apricot, pink, navy blue and dark gray, so there is a version for whatever else is in your case.

The fabric is 100% polyester and the waist ties. Sizes run XS through 2XL. The measurements below show the waist from 24 inches at XS to 34.3 inches at 2XL, the hip from 39.4 to 49.6 inches, and a bottom length between 39.4 and 41.3 inches, which is a genuinely long leg. On most wearers that puts the hem at or just past the ankle, so the wide leg keeps its line all the way down rather than stopping short.

A fitted tank or a cropped tee balances the volume below, and that is really the whole formula. Flat sandals for daytime and a low heel for evening, with the drawstring pulled to sit where you want the waist. They work over a swimsuit on the way to the water and over a plain bodysuit at dinner, which is why they end up living in the suitcase. Tuck the front of the top in to keep the waist defined.
