These Under-$40 Elastic-Waisted Dress Pants Are an Amazon Best-Seller Due to Their Flattering Silhouette

The transition from summer to fall is one of the toughest times of the year to dress for work. Will this be too warm? Will it not be warm enough? Will it be warm in the office even though it’s chilly outside?

The best way to handle the seasonal change is to choose long-sleeved tops and pants that are thin enough to keep you slightly warm but not thick enough to make you overheat. Take, for example, these best-selling high-waisted wide leg pants at Amazon. Not only are they available in multiple colors to match the existing clothes you already have, but they’re also made of a polyester and spandex blend that will keep you both slightly warm and slightly cool.

On Amazon’s best-sellers list, the high-waisted pants have a pleated front and are wide at the ankles, making them the perfect silhouette for the office. With a zipper closure and two side pockets, we envision them being styled with a flowy blouse, cozy sweater, or a simple top and cardigan. But you can equally wear them with sneakers and a T-shirt for a chic, casual look. 

Available in 35 colors, the pants also come in either long or short inseam lengths, so you can wear them with flats or heels depending on the rest of your outfit. Some pairs are also available in thin and thick fabric; the thin pairs will work better for mid to late summer or early fall, while you may want to go with a thicker pair for mid to late fall. 

Racking up more than 3,100 five-star reviews, shoppers say the pants are comfortable, lightweight, and good quality. One five-star reviewer who ordered multiple thin pairs says they are now their favorite pair of pants and despite not ordering the thick pair, they still work well in cold weather. “Great quality and price. The colors are exactly what you expect, and the fabric is just the right side of linen to be soft and swishy, but also sturdy enough to wear in winter.”

Another shopper complimented the pants’ short length, also saying they’re “the perfect work pants” and that even the thick pairs are not “too thick.” Multiple shoppers revealed the pants cover their “mom tummy,” too, with one five-star reviewer calling them “fantastic” and saying the pants flatter their body after having two kids.

Not all size and color combinations are on sale, though, but select styles of the pants are currently on sale for just $36. If there are no colors in the size you need on sale, keep scrolling to see some similar best-selling pants currently on sale at Amazon.
