Soft Pants For The Win When Working Late

It’s been a long time between posts due to the recent change in my life with my new job. I’ve now finished my full time training and have started working from home. While I’ve gotten back into the swing of things at home, I neglected the blog for a few weeks to catch up on things I was forced to put aside while working full time.

Even though the blogposts were non-existent, I was still active on social media. You can still see my daily outfits on Facebook and Instagram. Lately I’ve been making more of an effort to wear all the pieces I own, rather than buy new clothes. Although, I have made some new purchases recently. They have literally been when I’ve been on my way to do an errand and have been something I had my eye on that was on sale. I will share these pieces with you soon.

But one particular piece of clothing I’m looking to add more of to my wardrobe is the soft pant.

Usually I wear some sort of jeans or jeggings during autumn, winter and spring. But now that I will be working late night shifts at home, the soft pant is going to make working those late hours comfier.

I own one pair of soft pants – navy and white stripe ones from Ruby and Lilli. They’ve been a very good investment purchase. But I’d like to have a few more available to wear so I’ve been scouring the net to find some other patterned or block colour soft pants to add to my wardrobe.

The key patterns that have caught my eye are the leopard print. I also wouldn’t mind a dark coloured pair as I have many tops that will go with these.

The benefit of wearing this type of pant from home as I work is it will feel as comfortable as PJs, but not look like them.

I can’t wear PJs when I work. I don’t know why, but it’s the way I am. So rather than force myself against my inner convictions, I will trick my brain with soft pants instead. The bonus of wearing these instead of pyjamas means if I have to get to the office during my shift, I won’t have to arrive in my PJs.

I also know these pants will be useful for the plane trip to the USA that we have planned at the end of the year. This thought alone has me adding one pair to cart as I type.

Here are some of the soft pant selections I’ve eyed online. I’ve noticed some are on pre-order, and the Betty Basics have sold out with some retailers, so the links below are to retailers that have the full size selection available.
