Some pieces earn "everyday essential" status the moment you try them on, and our Butter Soft Pants are exactly that kind of piece. Ultra-smooth, genuinely stretchy fabric meets a relaxed, flattering wide-leg silhouette — the kind of pant you'll reach for on travel days, work-from-home mornings, and everything in between.
In this post, we're covering the design, the fit, all five colors, and how to style these pants for celebrations, travel, and everyday wear.
Meet the Butter Soft Pants ($49)
Meet your new everyday essential. The Butter Soft Pants are designed for effortless comfort with a sleek, flattering, relaxed wide-leg silhouette and subtle front seam detailing, made from an ultra-smooth, stretchy fabric. Model Taylor (5'7", typically a Size 8/M) and Mariah (5'5", typically a Size 4/M) both wear a Small.
The Design Details
- Ultra-smooth, stretchy fabric — Genuinely soft against the skin, the whole reason this pant has earned its name.
- Relaxed wide-leg silhouette — Flattering without being restrictive, drapes beautifully rather than clinging.
- Subtle front seam detailing — A small design touch that keeps the pant from reading as plain loungewear.
- Runs true to size — Order your usual size with confidence.
Five Colors to Choose From
- Black — The most versatile, wear-with-everything neutral in the lineup.
- Brown — A warm, earthy tone perfect for fall layering.
- Slate Blue — A cool, muted blue that pairs beautifully with cream and ivory tops.
- Maroon — A rich, seasonal color for fall and winter dressing.
- Pink — A soft, feminine option for anyone who wants to brighten up the everyday.
Our recommendation: If you're starting with just one pair, Black offers the most everyday versatility. Once you're hooked (and most people are), Brown and Maroon are excellent next additions for fall.
A Quick Note on Lace
These pants are built from smooth, stretchy fabric rather than lace. If you're looking for genuine lace detailing, our Kathryn Classic Button-Up in Lace pairs beautifully layered over the Butter Soft Pants for a soft-meets-elevated combination.
Five Ways to Style the Butter Soft Pants
1. With a Simple Tank for Everyday Comfort
Pair with our Bella Tank Top for a genuinely comfortable everyday outfit.
2. Dressed Up with the Kathryn Button-Up
Layer the Kathryn Classic Button-Up in Lace over a simple cami and pair with the Slate Blue or Maroon pants for an elevated look that's still genuinely comfortable.
3. With a Cozy Sweatshirt for Cooler Days
Pair with our Mock Neck Sweatshirt for a coordinated, cozy fall or winter outfit.
4. With Statement Jewelry
Since these pants are a clean, solid silhouette, they're the perfect canvas for a piece from our Earrings collection.
5. Under the Quilt Jacket
Layer under our Quilt Jacket, Ivory for genuine cold-weather comfort.

Cute Travel Outfits for Women
The Butter Soft Pants might be the single best travel pant in our entire lineup — genuinely comfortable enough to sleep in on a flight, yet polished enough to walk off the plane looking put-together. Pair with the Butter Soft V-Neck Top for a genuinely coordinated travel-day set, and layer with the Quilt Jacket for temperature swings between the airport, the plane, and your destination.
