Design Features That Make These Pants Special

 

The Flax Cargo Pants aren't your average sweatpants. The stylish crossover waistband creates a flattering silhouette while the elastic waist ensures all-day comfort. Roomy pleated cargo pockets add that trendy utility vibe while actually being functional (finally, pants with real pockets!).

 

Ankle cuffs give these pants a polished, contemporary finish that pairs perfectly with sneakers or boots. The relaxed fit through the hips and thighs provides freedom of movement without looking baggy—these are comfortable pants that still look put-together.

 

Choose from stretchy knit fabrics to create pants that move with you, whether you're running errands, working from home, or heading out for casual adventures.
