'Loose fitting without being frumpy': These comfy capris are $18 for Labor Day
Made with soft and stretchy fabric, these pants move with you for a comfy fit.
The calendar says we are on the cusp of fall, but the weather report is telling us to hang on to those loose and airy clothes just a little longer. And in case, you're ready to put away your shorts, there's still a lot of short pants weather to take advantage of. For that, we're eyeing these breezy capri pants from Dibaolong. They're soft, dreamy and just right for lounging in hot weather. And right now you can get 'em for as low as $18, courtesy of Amazon's Labor Day sale.
Loose and lightweight, these breezy cropped pants have an elastic waistband with a drawstring and feature two large side pockets.
Why is it a good deal?💰
Normally, these extra-comfy lounge pants go for $26, and while they go on sale from time to time, we don't expect the price on these to drop this low again until next July. Available in 14 colors including Apricot, Royal Blue and Plum (prices vary slightly by color), you might want to snag a few while they're still in stock. Sizes range from S to 4XL.
Why do I need this? 🤔
Perfect for when the weather calls for shorts but you don't feel like showing off your legs, these short pants are about as versatile as you can get. Made with a blend of polyester and spandex, you can expect these stretchy pants to be buttery-soft wash after wash. They move with your body, which means you can do yoga or pilates in them or wear them when you drape yourself on the couch. To make them easy to pull on, they have an elastic waistband, but they also have a drawstring so you can adjust the fit. And did we mention the Dibaolong capri pants feature two deep side pockets so you always have somewhere to put your phone?
What reviewers say 💬
Over 5,700 shoppers rave about how luxuriously soft and comfy these pants are — and they're buying them up for a variety of reasons.
Pros 👍
"If you have skin sensitivities like me and require extra soft clothes, you’ve hit the jackpot," shared a rave reviewer. "These pants, despite being super comfy, look very fancy too! The open leg at the bottom is perfect for my overly muscular calves. The top of it is stretchy in a gentle way so that it doesn’t apply too much pressure. I also have EDS and fibromyalgia and need clothes that are easy to put on and off."
"Nice comfy pants," shared another. "They are exactly what I wanted. Fit is perfect and maybe a little big but still good enough. They almost have a lounge-wear feel to the fabric but heavier. Very comfortable and look nice on and are good quality for the price."
"Bought many pair assorted colors of these pants for easy access to my knee bandages after knee replacement surgery," wrote another five-star reporter. "They are perfect. Even slept in them many times while re-cooperating. Size is generous. The stretchy lightweight fabric is super comfortable. Machine wash & air dry wrinkle-free. Easy elastic pull-up with a tie waist."
"My mother is 68 and is a woman of comfort," another fan wrote. "She is modest but does not like long dresses. These are her Summer pants, because they are soft, loose fitting without being frumpy, and they have pockets."
Cons 👎
Fans of these capri pants have a few suggestions.
"These capris were just what I needed," shared a fan. "They are soooo comfortable. The only caveat, is I am 5'2" tall and these are for a person who is 5'8". I wish they came in a short length."
Another shopper shared: "My only complaint is that I wish they had deeper pockets, but at least they HAVE pockets!"
"It’s probably my favorite pants to wear both at home and outside," wrote another reviewer with the same complaint. "The fabric is thick and soft. It’s been holding up well too. My only issue is that the pockets are shaped a bit strangely and stick out, but it’s not too big a deal."
These roomy, buttery-soft pants are available in 14 different colors and come in sizes S to 4XL.
