I recently bought these Maeve pants from Anthro, and I have to say they're one of my favorite recent purchases. The trick is that they're a knit, so they're actually like a sweatpant material instead of a stiff denim. They're ridiculously comfortable, and I love that they came in petites so I didn't have to get them hemmed.
(Pro tip: size down, they run on the bigger side.)
They come in a huge range of sizes, including sizes 23-34, 23P-34P, and 16W-26W. (Tall sizes are down to lucky sizes, unfortunately.) The Colette cut is one of the most popular pants at Anthropologie, and we recently picked it in our updated roundup to the best wide leg pants.
The pictured knit denim pants are $96-$128 right now.
(Of course they are far from the first to have sweatpant denim — the rag & bone Miramar jeans have been hugely popular for that lately!)

I’m staying in Manhattan this weekend and have no plans. What would you recommend I do?
A Broadway show is always the answer for me
Museums. Eat well. Picnic in the park.
depends heavily on what you’ve done before in the city, what you’re into. nyt just had a bookshop crawl in brooklyn. if it were me i’d take a look at what the museums have to see if anything is of interest. i’d also just start at 59th and 5th and start shopping down 5th ave, you can do same in soho.
When I have weekends like that I like to go to a weird/fancy exercise class, get brunch, get a massage or spa treatment, shop, and find a cultural attraction.
ooh see if you can go to AIRE ancient baths? or maybe someone can recommend a good korean spa, although that may be in queens
i’m 55 and have started playing the “is she younger or older than me” game. it’s amazing how hard it is to tell sometimes — people who have protected their skin tend to look younger, and the people who have not really, really look older.
