Questions about this piece
Can you wear lounge pants out of the house?
Yes, as long as the rest of the outfit is not also soft. What marks a pair of pants as loungewear is usually an elastic waist and a drapey knit, and both read differently with structure next to them: a collared shirt, a real shoe, a bag that holds its shape. Keep one firm thing in the outfit and soft pants look relaxed rather than unfinished. The contrast waistband on these is a deliberate detail rather than a plain band, which helps.
Do rayon blends shrink in the wash?
Rayon can, more than most fibers people file under easy care. It is made from processed wood pulp, and the fiber relaxes in hot water and tightens again in a hot dryer, which is where the shrinking happens. Cold water and low or no heat is what keeps a rayon blend the size you bought it. These are a polyester and rayon knit with a little spandex, so the polyester steadies them, and the care label is the final word.
How does the elastic waist fit across the sizes?
The waistband is elastic all the way around, with no zipper or button, so it pulls on and sits wherever you put it. That is what lets three sizes, S, M and L, cover a wide range of waists, and it means choosing a size here is really about hip room and leg length. The band is a contrast color against the brown and ivory stripes, so it shows rather than hides. The same stripe comes as a boxy tee if you want the set.
