“Hello?!” I anxiously answered the phone. Three missed calls from Mom. “Hello?! What’s wrong?!” My mom finally replied, her voice high on shopper’s endorphins: “You won’t believe what I just found at Chico’s!” My mom brought home an unexpected haul from the retailer—and it included a pair of jeans that she gets complimented on every time she wears them. Since finding jeans that are comfortable and cute seems to be a universal agony, I felt I simply had to share. And get this: they’re pull-on. Keep reading.

My mom is 69 and very active. She watches my toddler two days a week (thank you, Mom) and also works as a pediatric occupational therapist. In short, she’s moving around on the floor a lot. Finding a pair of pants that is flattering, comfortable and grown-up looking is nothing short of a miracle. But, she can wear these jeans to see a student and then meet with a parent and still look and feel professional. Or, since they’re so lightweight, she can pack them in her bag and change at my house after babysitting before heading to dinner and a play. (I told you, she’s busy.)
And they are actually jeans, not jeggings. The denim is a soft-stretch, which creates a flattering fit. The wide-leg is on-trend and fresh, and the pull-on design is, most importantly, comfortable. They’re also available in regular and petite—the options!
Bottom Line
Chico's
If you’ve struggled finding denim that you feel confident in, try the pull-on Chico’s ones. My mom is loving the wide-led dark wash, but there are other styles like wide cropped jeans, cuffed jeans and these super cute buttoned crop black jeans.
