Best Bet: Sweetie Thigh

You still like the look of leggings, but the thought of actually wearing them makes you shudder from head to toe. Enter the DVF Sweetheart Pant, which looks like a legging but fits and feels like a pant. These stretchy slacks have a lot to give (which means you’ll also want to go down a size), and the seams that run down the sides and around the back actually make them flattering, not flaw-inducing. They’re light enough to wear during this cool summer weather, but warm enough to layer when fall comes back to town. Pants that look, fit, and last? That’s what we call sweet.
