On a recent trip to visit my family in Seattle, I was only able to pack a few clothes for myself after stuffing my suitcase with kids stuff! I chose these 7/8 jogger pants (on sale for $30 + available in Petite) since I knew they’d get a of mileage – comfy for the flights, and versatile for both sightseeing and more physically active outings. FYI If your size is sold out, an alternate style is this similar pair that comes in Petite too but fits a little more tapered and an inch longer on me.
The soft, smooth fabric and cut don’t scream “gym pants” to me, so if your work dress code is smart casual I think these pants would work well on business trips! Below are my sizing notes, and a few ways I’ve worn them over recent weeks:
1. Airport Travel: trench coat, sneakers, cap
Fit info: I took XS Petite (smallest available) and find them to be true to that size. I would ideally take an xxs so these are loose at my waist, but tightening up the drawstring helps a bit. I’ve washed these inside-out many times and there’s been no shrinkage, though I have noticed a little pilling at the butt area that I’ve de-fuzzed using my sweater shaver.
Measurements: When lying flat with the drawstring not tightened, my XS Petite pair waistband measures 13.3″ across (stretches), with a 10″ rise and 23.5″ inseam that was perfect on my 5 foot tall frame. Per the size chart, XS regular has the same waist and a 3 inch longer inseam.
I also wanted to share a note about my Edited Pieces trench – sadly, due to unexpected circumstances we will only be dropping our Reversible Duo Coat 2.0 this year and won’t have the trench coat available. We’re super bummed and are doing our best to have the trench coat by Spring. I’m SO sorry for disappointing those of you who’ve been looking forward to shopping it this Fall!
