Flattering, not frumpy: These No. 1 bestselling 'Goldilocks pants' start at $26

The teensiest chill in the air gets us so excited to stock up on comfortable lounge pants to last through autumn and beyond. This year we're looking for perfection. We're talking about a yoga pant style that's flattering, has a versatile swing to the leg and has pockets... you know what we mean. We recently came across a pair that promises loose-fit comfort without being frumpy and — even better — without a high price tag: the Promover Wide Leg Lounge Pants. They're current Amazon bestsellers, available in a wide variety of sizes and cuts and, best of all, they're on sale now for as little as $26 a pop.

These pocketed picks are available in petite, regular and tall sizes from X-Small to 3X-Large.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Comparable lounge pants, like the Lululemon Swift Wide Leg Pant, can set you back upwards of $80 or more. These cozy cuties, however, start at just $26 (from $35), an over-25% discount that means you can get three pairs of these for the same price as one pair of those. We've only ever seen these loungers go for one dollar less, so if you'd like to stock up for sweatpants season, the time to buy is now!

Why do I need this? 🤔

These No. 1 bestselling yoga pants more than deserve a spot in your fall wardrobe for a variety of reasons: they're super soft and comfy, they feature a wide-leg cut that is flattering on just about any shape, you can get them in a range of sizes including petite, regular and tall, and they even have pockets! Thanks to their coziness factor and utility, many Amazon fans have turned to these trousers as their go-to travel pants, with positive results. Plus, they're available in a ton of colors — 24, to be exact!

What reviewers say 💬

More than 6,000 Amazon shoppers have given the Promover lounge pants a flawless five-star rating, with many complimenting the bottoms' fit, comfort level and flattering design.

Pros 👍

"I LOVE these, and this is my second purchase," raved one reviewer. "They stay up, stretch when I do, and look very flattering on. I can dress these up or down as the mood strikes. And pockets are always a welcome addition."

Another wearer called the pants "incredibly comfortable, yet nice enough to dress up with a long cardigan," adding, "I've received many compliments on them, and several friends have asked where they can buy the same ones. The wide-leg design is both flattering and comfortable, making them perfect for lounging, yoga or even a casual day out. The addition of pockets is a great touch, adding both convenience and style. I will definitely be buying these in more colors."

They've also become a favorite of intrepid travelers. "I bought these several months ago and have countless compliments about them," shared one. "People comment on the fabric texture and how comfortable they look. I have used them at least weekly, at work, at home, traveled in them and have washed many times over. They hold up well and are super comfortable and versatile."

A final fan dubbed these loungers "Goldilocks pants," writing, "Great weight of the fabric — not too thin, not too thick. The fabric weight is just right, plus stretchy, but not too stretchy. ... Dress them up or dress them down. Waist hits high and covers my menopausal belly. I can loosely tuck in a top or not. ... These are my new favorite travel pants."

Cons 👎

One reviewer noted, "The reason for [my rating of] four stars is because the position of the pockets are not flattering to my mom-hips, but a T-shirt hides it."

"The only problem I have is that I'm five feet tall and even the petites (thank you for making petites!!) are a bit long for me," added another shopper.

For just about the same price as the most marked-down pair, you can snap up these wide-legged wonders in classic black (pictured).
