I’m a simple girl with simple needs, and one necessity I will never waiver on is comfy pants. If you ever see me out and about in tight trousers or jeans, rest assured that it’s actually my evil twin. While some might find the choice to wear exclusively stretchy, loose-fitting bottoms questionable, I know I’m not alone in my preference. 

Take Oprah, for example. The A-lister has long been a fan of Spanx pants, specifically the ultra-smooth Airessentials Tapered Pant, which just made the Oprah's Favorite Things list for the second year in a row. “It’s the softest material I have felt for sweats,” Oprah explained. “It feels like a hug.” And who couldn’t use more hugs these days?” she added. I know I definitely could, so when the brand reached out offering a sample of the Airessentials Wide-Leg Pant, I was stoked. Yet another reason to get excited? The pants are now on sale for just $110 — an entire 20 percent off during Spanx's sitewide Black Friday sale.

Lounge clothes have a reputation of looking frumpy, so believe me when I say these yoga pants are genuinely super flattering. The stretchy material perfectly contours around my hips and booty and gradually tapers off into a wide-leg silhouette, allowing the comfort of a baggy fit without hiding the shape of my body.

As Oprah already noted, the major draw of these pants is their texture. The lightweight, polyester blend is incredibly breathable, flowy, and buttery-soft. It's so smooth that, with my eyes closed, I might have mistaken it for silk. I reach for these pants whenever they’re clean and wear them for everything from brunch to sleeping. Because of their four-way stretch, I can even work out in them. 

I already know I’m destined to get another pair. Luckily, they come in five perfect fall colors, along with a matching pullover in the same rave-worthy fabric. If these pants weren’t already on your radar, I suggest giving them a look (you’ll thank me later). Shop these wide-leg sweats on both Amazon and the Spanx site for $110 during the brand's sitewide Black Friday sale, which includes 20 percent off the entire Airessentials collection .
