I don’t know about you, but at the start of this year, I decided I needed to shake things up. I’m talking about my wardrobe, of course. I made a little challenge for myself to stop reaching for jeans every single day and start wearing more casual pants. Because as much as I love my jeans, sometimes you just want something that says, “Yes, I made an effort,” even if the truth is I was practically half-asleep when I got dressed. Enter the J.Crew Factory Lizzie Pants. These pants have been my go-to for that casual-chic look every woman over 50 should have in her wardrobe. Let’s just say they’ve become my secret weapon for looking stylish without sacrificing comfort. And if you’ve been on the hunt for pants that feel like pajamas but look like a million bucks, keep reading, because I’ve got you covered.
Why I Love the Lizzie Pants:
You know that moment when you try something on, and it’s like the angels start singing? That’s how I felt when I slipped into the Lizzie Pants c/o J.Crew Factory for the first time. They’re made from a blend of cotton, linen, viscose, and elastane. Translation: soft, lightweight, and stretchy enough to let you have dessert without unbuttoning anything. They sit at the waist, fit snugly around the hips, and flow down into a wide-leg cut that feels like you’re cheating the system by wearing loungewear outside of the house. Plus, the patch pockets are a fun little detail that gives them a laid-back vibe without looking sloppy. No wonder these casual-chic pants are becoming a staple in my wardrobe!
Polished & Playful in Pale Spinach
Let’s be real—Pale Spinach sounds like a color your grandmother might’ve made you eat as a kid. But in pants form? It’s magic. It’s this soft, gentle green that’s way more interesting than your usual black or khaki. I paired them with the Cotton Teddie Sweater in Antique Navy because I love a good contrasting look. And to make sure things didn’t get too serious, I threw on my Sam Edelman Leopard Print Flats for a little wild touch. Because life’s too short for boring shoes, right?
Where to Wear It: This look works great for casual get-togethers, lunch dates, or even a laid-back office setting. You’ll feel stylish without sacrificing comfort!
Cotton Teddie Sweater
This 100% Cotton Teddie Sweater in Navy is lightweight and breathable. The Antique Navy shade feels timeless and works well with just about any color. If you like a looser look, go ahead and size up, but I went with my usual size for a neat, polished fit. Plus, it layers beautifully under jackets or cardigans when you want to dress things up a bit.
I added my 14K Large Cross Necklace and 14k Small Mantra Heart Border Necklace to give the outfit more polish. The mantra on the necklace is “Trust The Path,” but there are more mantras to choose from. You can use my code, TANIA15, for 15% off the mantra necklace.
Lizzie Pants
These Lizzie Pocket Pants are all about comfort and style. The high-rise waist gives you a flattering silhouette, while the wide-leg cut keeps things relaxed and easy-going. And the Pale Spinach color is perfect for pairing with just about anything—think cream sweaters, chambray shirts, or even a playful floral blouse. If you’ve got something fun and colorful in your closet, these pants are just begging to be paired with it.
Leopard print is a neutral in my book, and these Sam Edelman Leopard Print Flats are proof! They add a fun little pop of pattern without being too bold, and they’re easy to pair with just about anything. The pointed toe keeps them sleek, and the cushioned insole means they’re as comfy as they are stylish. If you want a shoe that works year-round, these are a great pick!
Easy Elegance in Authentic Navy
If the Pale Spinach pants are my playful, fun side, the Authentic Navy ones are my reliable, classic besties. Navy is like the comfort food of clothing—it just works. I paired these with the Short-Sleeve Cotton Crewneck Sweater in Ivory for a crisp, clean look that feels casual but still polished. And since I was going for that effortlessly cool vibe, I finished the look with white sneakers. It’s the kind of outfit that says, “Yes, I’m running errands, but I could also be strolling through a cute little seaside town.”
Where to Wear It: This outfit is great for weekend errands, casual outings, or even a travel day. You’ll look chic while staying comfortable, whether you’re running to the grocery store or meeting up with friends.
Ivory Cotton Sweater
This Ivory cotton crewneck sweater is the definition of a wardrobe workhorse. It’s lightweight, soft, and goes with everything. Wear it on its own or layer it under a blazer or cardigan. And can we talk about how great it looks tucked in or worn loose? It’s true to size, so if you’re debating whether to size up, I’d say stick to your usual size unless you’re looking for a looser fit.
Authentic Navy Lizzie Pants
The Lizzie Pocket Pants in the Authentic Navy shade are a fabulous alternative to jeans when you want something a bit dressier. These casual-chic pants are soft, breathable, and hold their shape all day, which is something I can’t always say for my beloved jeans. And if you want to dress them up, just add a blouse and a pair of heels, and you’re good to go.
Q: Are the Lizzie Pants true to size?
A: Yes, they fit true to size with just a little stretch. If you’re between sizes, I recommend sticking with your usual size for a comfortable fit.
Q: Can these pants be dressed up or down?
A: Absolutely! Pair them with flats and a casual top for a daytime look or swap in some heels and a blouse for something more polished.
Q: Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
A: Definitely. They’re soft, breathable, and hold their shape throughout the day. Just be aware that they might stretch out a bit by evening.
If you’re like me and trying to give jeans a little competition this year, these casual-chic pants might be just what you need. They’re comfortable, stylish, and so easy to mix and match for whatever your day has in store. Whether you’re feeling the soft green of Pale Spinach or the classic, reliable Authentic Navy, I’m telling you, these pants are a keeper. So, are you going to join me in giving jeans a break? Let me know how you’d style them and if you’re team Pale Spinach, team Authentic Navy, or both!
