These $29 Target Trousers Are Perfect For The Office, The Couch, And Everything In Between

“50+ wears and still going strong,” wrote one reviewer.

Like the requisite crisp, white button-down and little black dress, a reliable, attractive, well-fitting pair of black pants should be a staple in every wardrobe. We’re talking specifically about a silhouette that’s often referred to as “office pants.” (If you don’t visualize them immediately, a quick Google search should do the trick).

But whether you work from home or on-site; whether you’re running to the copy machine or the grocery store; whether you’re full time, part time, or no time at all, pulling on a pair of elevated bottoms will always elevate your look — and, if you’re anything like me, your outlook, too.

There are plenty of options to choose from (to which the aforementioned Google search will attest), but we’re obviously here to take out some of the guesswork and save you some money in the process: Target has a great, highly rated pair that will set you back a mere $29, and is a pretty decent lookalike for a few popular, and much pricier, picks (like these and these).

From popular Target house brand A New Day, these trousers have a high waist, a slim leg that hits just above the ankle, and a cut that seems destined to work on just about any figure, with reviewers all over the size spectrum proclaiming the fit to be true. (They’re currently available in sizes 2–16.) Made from a super comfortable cotton-spandex blend, they’re a pull-on style with an interior elastic waist, but also feature a side zip and hook closure for a polished look.

Possible downsides are the lack of side pockets but others, and their tendency to attract lint but those are small prices to pay for such an affordable, attractive, goes-with-everything pair that’s earned an overall 4.1-star rating from reviewers.

Promising reviews:

Target

"True to size and most worn pair of work pants. 50+ wears and still going strong. Washed and dry nicely!" —BlovesTaret

"Love the high waist and overall fit of these pants. Perfect for my long inseam and short torso shape. Great for tucking in shirt. Only issue is that the material collects lint/ fur very easily and is thick and warm." —Eharris1365

"Comfy, stretchy, and classic!! What I love best about these pants is that they are high waisted and they have that stretch!! I bought this for work and I have never felt so put together." —Something New

"I really like these pants! I have thin legs so sometimes it's hard to find well-fitting pants. I love these! They’re just stretchy enough and extremely comfortable! I think they’re true to size; maybe even a bit on the larger side (I know some of the comments disagree). A good pant for those of us with larger waistlines but thinner legs." —Pretty Pink Sherpa

"I have been struggling to find the perfect pair of work pants and finally have. The elastic inner on the waist helps for a snug and professional fit. I purchased the regular fit, and the length and size are spot on!" —Samantha R.
