‘Tis the season for bundling up your top half in toasty sweaters, but who says you can’t get your pins in on the cozy action? Certainly not I—nor the slew of retailers that are offering up stylish knit pants that are suitable for more than just lounging (although you’ll definitely want to do that, too). I, for one, am officially trading in my weekend sweatpants for knit bottoms that are as comfortable as pajamas, but look and feel more elevated. If you’ll be taking planes, trains and automobiles to travel this winter, or are simply looking for something a little more luxurious to slip into for snowy school drop-offs, I have a feeling you’ll want to follow suit, especially once you get a gander at these plush picks.

1. Mango Straight Knitted Pants
Featuring a sleek silhouette and relaxed, straight-leg fit, this pair from Mango is giving total “rich mom” vibes (especially when paired with this coordinating wrap-style cardigan). A thick blend of polyester, acrylic, wool and elastane ensures warmth and stretch, so you can wear these out and about in the most frigid of temps without feeling underdressed (in any sense of the word).
2. Gap CashSoft Sweater Pants
It’s right there in the name—these bottoms are like a sweater for your bottom. They’re made with Gap’s top-selling CashSoft fabric, a mix of cotton and nylon that buyers call "so soft and ridiculously comfortable,” and boast a drawstring waist to get the perfect fit. They even have pockets! Just note that while buyers adore the look and feel of these beauties, they do say the style runs large, so you should consider sizing down if you’re not going for oversized.
3. Quince Cashmere Pants
It’s no secret that my fellow PureWow editors adore Quince’s affordable cashmere, so I imagine these luxurious loungers won’t disappoint. Crafted from 100 percent grade-A Mongolian cashmere, the drawstring pants are, indeed, raved about by reviewers for their softness, warmth and fit. “They are wonderful; they fit and drape beautifully,” writes one shopper, while another adds, “I may never take them off again until spring.” Better yet, they have not two, but four pockets (including a pair at the back).
4. C by Bloomingdale’s Cashmere Joggers
If you, like me, love the athletic look of joggers but are craving something cozier, turn to this 100 percent cashmere style to enjoy the best of both worlds. I’m swooning over the pair’s slim fit and elasticized ankle cuffs, and I’m not the only one. “These are wonderful,” shares a reviewer. “Flattering cut, supremely soft, perfect weight, no bagging at the knee.” The fact that they’re also currently on sale just seals the deal.
5. Topshop Cable-Knit Pants
There’s just something about cable knit that screams “après-ski chic,” and these wide-leg, chunky-knit pants are no exception. If you plan on cozying up by the fire in Courchevel this winter—or just want to feel like you are—they’re a must. (Psst: You can complete the chalet-ready look by snagging this matching cardigan—you’re welcome.)
6. LOFT Lou & Grey Brushed Rib Pants
As a petite gal, I immediately gravitate toward anything ribbed. Yes, the material is comfortable and flattering, but those vertical lines can also work wonders to elongate the figure—and I’ll take the appearance of extra height whenever I can get it. Needless to say, these pants from LOFT have my full attention. They feature a brushed knit blend of polyester, rayon and spandex, along with a swingy, wide-leg silhouette I can see paired with everything from snow boots to slingbacks. And, good news for my fellow shorties—they even come in petite sizing!
7. Viottiset Women's Two-Piece Knit Lounge Set
ICYMI, Amazon is stacked with comfy lounge sets that serve as the ultimate one-and-done outfits for airport days, lazy evenings and everything in between—at really good price points, I might add. Take, for example, this popular ensemble. For less than $70, it comes with a slouchy, V-neck sweater and the perfect pair of soft pants, both of which are made from a soft viscose-blend knit. If you’re worried about the quality for the price, don’t be. As one buyer writes, “I am blown away at the look, comfort, feel of the good quality material and style [of this set]. The top and bottom have a high-end feel…the thickness is perfect.” No wonder it’s currently the retailer’s number one best seller in the pant set category.
