Women's Lee Relaxed Fit Pleated Pants - Comfortable and Stylish

HU_MeD89: Reference: I"m 5'9, 250 lbs (more muscular with a "flatter tummy" and smaller waist compared to bust and hip). Measurements are (45-37.5-45-51.5; bust, natural waist, upper hips, widest part of hips relatively).

I went by the size guide and a size 16 long fit me perfectly. It is snug on first button up but gives way and stretched out all over a bit after my sit down test. Not suffocating, no pain across my abdomen, can breath normally with space for expansion with eating and normal bloat throughout the day. The fabric is high quality brushed cotton, deep navy coloring with a nice stretch that feels more like a give rather than a quick slack. You know the feeling of that material that will bag out and be a distorted mess by the days end.

Really happy with my purchase as they replaced a favorite pair of uniqlo work pant that my thighs finallly burnt a chaffing hole through.

Super Pros:
1. Shows my shape with the right amount of pulled in look that is work appropriate sexy.
2. Does my butt justice.
3. Actually goes down to my ankle and looks proportionally tapered and not boot cut or slightly flared at an awkward length (you know how they do us size 14+...

Maureen F Salter: These pants are very versatile. They are jeans but with the front pleat they could pass for dress pants. I love the deep pockets and the elastic waistband.

Sandy Yang: Common problem with shopping for work pants is that they are always so long if I don't go to the petite section. I also tire of trying to find pants that are comfortable at the waist or that I won't need a belt for. These pants fit snug and feel comfortable. I don't wanna have to buy "yoga" work pants. These are still made of thicker material but still fits so comfortably.

Queen S: I am 5'10", about 150lbs, and I ordered a 10 Long. They fit great! They are high waisted, so my work shirt tucks in. They have elastic at the sides of the waist so if you are having a fat day they have some give, much appreciated. The fabric is soft and durable.
I bought them for work (I'm a server) and my only complaint, and it isn't much of a complaint, is that the fabric is heavyweight. Great in cold weather but here in Florida in and out in the heat it is inconvenient to have such fabric. Overall though this is the best pair of work pants!

TypeANewYorker: Size is perfect but the fabric is so stiff and collects lint and cat hair like nobody's business. A shame.

Christmas in New York Collector: If you put on a few pounds (like me and the whole neighborhood!) because your boss thought you should work 16h a day for the past 2 years to keep you “accountable,” then these are the pants for you. No funny smell, velvety smooth midweight brushed cotton twill, nice flat seams, 2 generous pleats on each side, functional (!) deep front pockets, pockets are well sewn and the designer designed the pant well so that the material from the pocket is sewn into the zipper at the side. (This gives gentle support at the front, and makes the pockets stay flat regardless of your body position.) Belt loops and elastic at the back is comfortable. Comfy if you sit, stand or squat; tapered leg stops you from tripping over pant legs that are too wide at the bottom.
Minus one point for:
1. no placket pockets at the back, but this does minimize bulk and
2. Please restock all colours in all sizes! I’d love to reorder in another colour(s)!

Jordan and LisaJordan and Lisa: My usually size is a 2. After reading the reviews I figured the size 4 would fit. I order petite 4 and overall, the material is great quality. I love the pleats and structure of the pants. The waist is very form fitting which I love. The only downside is the fact that I ordered petite and the inseam is still very long. As you can see in the pictures, I rolled the legs up some. Although with this type of pant, rolling the legs up works well, I find as if it’s not a true petite sizing (or these pants must run really long in general) Overall, for my first Lee purchase, I am impressed and can makes these work. 5’1” for reference

BearClaire: Buy one size bigger than you normally do (i.e. your normal "vanity sizing" size). Unless you like them tight...

Steph: A really nice pant, perfect for creating a classic, retro look ( echoing the Annie Hall vibe). Well made and really good quality for the price. Size up for a looser paperbag look.

kk: I love them.
If you are similarly a slightly hip and slightly butch woman looking for office pants that make you feel like you're in Annie Hall and you're having your doubts- these'll do it for you. 10/10, will buy every colour.

Are you looking for a pleated look but find the whole paper bag pants concept a little overwhelming, maybe too feminine, maybe too much, but you love vintage looks and crisp lines, well let me tell you, these are a dream.

I bought a size 12 and they fit like a glove, are extremely comfortable and have some give. I only say the size runs slightly small because I wear a size 10 if I want a fitted/trim look (5'4 and 165lbs) and I do wish they had a littl bit of a baggier/roomier feel.

The high rise is a REAL rise, they cover just above my belly button which is also rare because I have a freak long torso.

I love them. They are a dream
