Sag Harbor Pants Offer Comfort and Style

Wishing you could just show up to work in sweatpants? Hate the feeling of uncomfortable, constricting, jeans? I am right there with you. Dressing for work used to be a real chore, until someone told me about Sag Harbor pants. All I knew about this brand was that it was a women's brand that emphasized comfort as well as chic. It sounded perfect to me because I am all about comfort, but I was hesitant that these pants would not be as comfortable as they were made out to be.

What I like about these pants is that they are tailored and well made, but at the same time they have a nice stretchiness that makes you feel as if you are in lounge pants, or dare I say it-actual sweatpants. Not because they look like sweat pants, but because they are so comfortable. I discovered later that they use a special stretchy fabric, which can help ease those like me, whose weight can change seemingly by the hour.

Considering today's fashion environment, it is surprising to think that as little as a century ago, women weren't allowed to wear pants! Pants did not even surface for women till the end of the Victorian period when bloomers were introduced. Not surprisingly, bloomers were not quite as comfortable as our contemporary garments. They were named after feminist advocate Amelia Jenks Bloomer, the outfit consisted of a knee length full skirt worn with full cut trousers underneath. They were a step forward at the time, but they still sound like they were a long way off, and not nearly as comfy as our modern pants.

Sag Harbor pants originated, of course, in Sag Harbor, New York. A small town, it is located on Long Island, in the Hamptons. Catering to a fit, chic lifestyle, Sag Harbor pants are noted for their vibrant hues and their great prices.

The fact that Sag Harbor offers their pants to women who want to lead an active lifestyle is great. The old Victorian fashion sense used to use clothes to restrict women. Sag Harbor is obviously making great strides away from this place in fashion. That the Sag Harbor catalog devotes an entire section to the active lifestyle should be clue enough of how they feel.

For women on the go, Sag Harbor pants are a great addition to the wardrobe. They offer a fantastic mix of fashion and comfort! It is a perfect combination; at least in my opinion. They look good enough to jump-start your confidence, and they're comfy enough to get you through the day.
