Essential Sweatpants

A soft cotton-blend sweatpant in Grey Melange with a brushed inside, cut in a relaxed fit for women who want comfort without looking like they gave up on the outfit. The elasticated drawstring waist lets you set the fit yourself, and ribbed cuffs at the ankle keep them in place whether you're moving around or settled on the sofa.

Most lounge trousers force a choice between comfy and presentable. These sit somewhere sensible in between, so you can answer the door, run errands or work from home without changing.

The brushed inner face is the reason to reach for these first: it gives a warm, soft feel against the skin on slow mornings and cold evenings. The heathered grey tone pairs easily with most tops you already own.

Styling: wear them with a fitted top and white trainers for errands, or with a hoodie for a quiet day in.
