Found! The Comfortable, Classic (and Sustainable) Pants That Go With Everything

Found! The Comfortable, Classic (and Sustainable) Pants That Go With Everything

This post is sponsored by our friends at Docker’s® and ShopStyle Collective. All thoughts and opinions are our own.

We’ve both been leaning into a capsule wardrobe of sorts over the last year: classic pieces that go well with anything, but most importantly, are comfortable, too. A thoughtful collection of easy, everyday clothes to go wherever and do whatever in. And you know what? I’ve been loving how easy it is to get dressed every day!

So when Dockers® reached out to us about their new Comfort Knit Smart 360 Knit™ pants, we were more than excited to try a few on. They just launched exclusively at Kohls, and we got them on Kohls.com which of course was super easy and convenient. Fast forward a few weeks and now I will pretty much be living in these for the rest of the year, thank you very much.

I love how laid-back and natural the pants look (and feel). They have a timeless quality about them that says they aren’t trying hard to be anything more than they are. Because what they are is real and classic and, since these pants come in their most comfortable fabric yet and are knitted with proprietary performance technology (allowing you to truly stretch in every single direction!), they’re now a staple in our closet.

If the last year has taught me anything, it’s that I truly value being and to move around and feel comfortable in the clothes I’m wearing; i.e. if I can’t simultaneously play with the kids, work, and go about the day’s tasks in the pants I have on, I’m not wearing them (no matter how good they look). It’s just the way it is now!

I went with the Mineral Black Comfort Knit Smart 360 Knit™ pants in the Jean Cut style and PJ went with the color “True Chino”, also in the Jean Cut style. I’ve been really into an all black or white wardrobe lately and y’all, it’s been making getting dressed in the mornings (because, you know, we actually do that now) a breeze. There’s something so freeing about opening the door to your closet and not overthinking it. And honestly, just seeing that everything you have will go well together is an instantly comforting feeling.

I feel like we’re all looking for just the right black pants, and the fit and fabric of these makes them my current favorites. Nothing beats throwing on some black pants, a black or white t-shirt, a pair of sandals, and calling it a day. It’s a classic look that neither of us will ever get tired of wearing.

And I already mentioned how comfortable they are, right? I did? Okay, good. Just checking :).

Dockers® has crafted these pants to be straightforward and to the point while still somehow looking completely iconic and modern. And I feel like that’s kind of where PJ and I are at in life in general: we don’t want fussy or overly-complicated; we don’t want to have to think too hard about getting dressed because we need to devote that energy to everything else going on (kids, renovations, the farm, animals, etc), which is why the fabric and the fit of these pants is so enticing to us. They’re comfortable and consistent and easy, and right now, we need all the easy we can get.

And besides being a classic choice, they’re also a sustainable one. 

Dockers® makes their clothes with methods that reduce their impact, from Water<Less® techniques to chemical reductions to reducing their packaging to their use of recycled materials in their line. They’ve also partnered long-term with Waves for Water to give communities in need access to clean water. How great is that?

They also design their clothes to last beyond a single season, so you’re not constantly getting rid of old clothes that are falling apart in favor of buying new ones (which can make a big environmental impact), and that, of course, saves you money but it also helps protect the earth. Dockers® doesn’t change their styles much; they make clothes that are classic, comfortable and built to last, and I love that. They’re in it for the long-haul.

Thanks again, Dockers®! We had fun getting dressed and taking a few photos on the farm and at our house in town. And if you want to check out all of the styles and colors of Dockers® new Comfort Knit Smart 360 Knit™ pants, you can click here.
