I’ve done a full 180. High school Eva would never have been caught dead in sweatpants. In fact, I was known as that girl who wouldn’t even wear sweats during spirit week (I laugh at that now). Adult Eva loves cuddling up in her cozy Alo bottoms or going for mental health walks in Central Park in warm pants that are comfier than leggings — and better for the colder months, as tight clothing actually impacts your ability to stay warm.
But, even though my opinion and fondness for sweats has changed over the years, I still won’t wear them when I go somewhere elegant. I like dressing up, but I don’t like the fact that sometimes, that requires me to sacrifice comfort. So what if I told you I found the secret of the century — a pair of pants that look like the most elevated designer trousers imaginable, but feel like sweatpants? I knew you’d be all ears, because when I made this discovery, I felt like I won the lottery.
Said “secret?” Spanx’s famous, flattering Perfect Pants. Not only do they majorly live up to their name, but they’re also on sale for Spanx’s extended Cyber Week event right now, which ends tonight at midnight ET. They are perfect in every sense of the word, and once you try them, I can almost guarantee you’ll never want to wear another pair again. That’s because they’re made from the most comfortable, move-with-you ponte fabric that looks incredibly luxe while feeling soft-as-butter. Somehow, the brand created magic, and though I totally approve of the Perfect Pants’ name, I would call them “magic pants,” because not only are they super comfy to wear, they’re also incredibly flattering and somehow make my butt look ultra-lifted and perky — without feeling constricting.
The Perfect Pant, Wide-Leg

The pants are made with magic — well, the brand’s premium ponte, four-way stretch fabric that you have to try to believe. It’s smoothing and conceals any areas of worry, but so comfy to wear that you really will think you’re in sweatpants. The bottoms also have hidden core shaping technology, and no annoying additions like zippers or buttons. Instead, the easy pull-on design only further adds to the pant’s comfort. They don’t need to be dry cleaned (like your go-to trousers probably have to be), but they’re incredibly easy to style (like your favorite trousers). It’s a win-win, and it’s no wonder the perfect pants have won the attention of countless A-listers, too.
Mindy Kaling wore the brand’s straight-leg iteration in the cutest way, and Oprah once called the Perfect Pants her favorite. I have done both — I wore the straight-leg style and called them my favorite, as well. And as a final cherry on top, let me just say everyone I’ve turned onto the pants, like my mom and sister, are utterly obsessed. Just like me, they wear their go-to wide-leg pants practically every single day.
Shop more styles from the brand’s famous perfect collection while they’re still 20 percent off during the brand's extended Cyber Week sale. This doesn’t happen often, so my advice is to get your pair(s) now. You’re welcome!
