Every woman should have a few pairs of non-denim pants in her closet. They're perfect for business-casual settings or days when she wants to wear something nicer than jeans.
But finding pairs of trousers that are professional without looking stuffy can be difficult. I've been searching for the perfect pair for years, and ADAY's Turn it Up Pants that the company sent me to test are my new favorites.
Launched in 2015 by Meg He and Nina Faulhaber, ADAY is known for its versatile pieces that work just as well as they do at the gym as they do at the office or brunch with friends. After the viral success of its Throw & Roll leggings — which boast a 2,000-person wait list — ADAY recently expanded its repertoire to include some work-friendly separates.
"When creating the Technical Tailored collection, we wanted to dive deeper into the daywear category and focus specifically on two iconic pieces: the classic white dress shirt and cigarette pant," the He and Faulhaber told Business Insider.
The Turn it Up Pants marry a classic silhouette with cutting-edge features. They're breathable, pilling-resistant, and thermo-regulating. The slightly tapered legs hit right at the ankle, so you can wear them with any pair of shoes, while the elastic waistband ensures a comfortable fit.
"In re-working this silhouette, we were able to create a pant that can be worn at a high or low-waist, full-length or rolled up, and with sneakers or black pumps," said He and Faulhaber.
I've been wearing the Turn it Up Pants for the past two months and they're arguably one of the most versatile pieces I have in my closet. They not too loose or too fitted and are incredibly comfortable. Best of all, I can wear them with anything from a crisp white button-down, to a oversized sweater, to a casual T-shirt.
At $115, these pants aren't cheap. But given how versatile they are, you're bound to get a lot of mileage out of them. There's currently a wait list for select sizes and colors, but if you ask me, the wait is definitely worth it.
