Been living in the same pair of sweatpants since the past month and a half? We’re ashamed to admit that we have been doing just that. We’ve aced waist up dressing, but it hasn’t been easy to hit the soft spot when it comes to picking bottoms for work from home. We don’t want to wear body-hugging skinny jeans or cigarette trousers in this April heat, instead, we want bottoms that will prove to be soft, snug and stylish. Scroll to check out the five alternatives we found
Palazzos
A dramatic and loose wide-leg silhouette, palazzos serve as the perfect antithesis to shapeless sweatpants. Pick plain or printed ones and pair them with a casual tee, a crisp shirt or a plain kurta.
Jodhpuri Pants
Do you recall the eastern version of sweatpants? The comfortable but no so presentable harem pants. Well, jodhpuri pants are just the funky and functional upgrade to them! Wear them with a short kurta or a loose camisole, and you’re good to go.
Drawstring Bottoms
If you’re having a hard time letting go of the sweatpants, then take baby steps with drawstring bottoms. Opt for straight cut linen ones or for a tailored cotton finish.
Wide Leg Trousers
Not too sure about the roomy palazzos or the tight cigarettes trousers? Well, high waist wide-legged trousers strike the perfect balance between the two!

Culottes
For those who prefer breathable and short pants, culottes are a perfect choice. They make for a dressier choice than shorts, and can easily be paired with a kurta or a formal blouse.
