The pandemic has taught us to slow down and treat ourselves well. Back to school, back to the office, and back to normal, it’s time to say goodbye to our pajamas. As the world starts to get bustling again, we can still keep in mind: let’s take it easy. The first step is comfort dressing, and a pair of baggy pants would be an appropriate start. As seen in collections of fashion houses like Balenciaga, Maison Margiela and Jacquemus, with long length and extra-wide design, these pants are not only chic but also put you at ease.
