Smocked Wide Leg Capri Pants with Pockets

Pull on pants that look like you planned the outfit. The waist is smocked, so it gives where you need it to and stays put where you want it, and the leg opens out wide before stopping at capri length. The result is a trouser that reads breezy rather than sloppy, which is a harder trick than it sounds for anything with an elastic waist.

The fabric is 95 percent polyester and 5 percent spandex, which is where the light give comes from. There are pockets, which is reason enough on its own. Waist measurements run from 26.4 inches in a small up to 35 inches in a 2XL, and the smocking means the waist stretches beyond the flat number rather than sitting rigid. Bottom length runs 28.7 inches to 31.1 inches across the range. Sizes go S through 2XL and there are thirteen colors to choose from.

These work with almost anything tucked or cropped on top, because the wide leg wants a little structure above it. A fitted tank, a plain tee, a cropped knit. Flat sandals keep them easy in summer, and a low heel or a wedge lifts the hem off the ground if you want more of a line. The capri length also makes them a sensible travel pant, since they pack flat and do not drag on the floor.
