If you’re a bonafide lazy girl (or ya know, human), you know how hard pulling yourself out of bed in the morning can be, even after hitting the snooze button a gazillion times. And getting dressed? Well, let’s just say it’s a tall order before coffee. Stocking up on pieces that have the chic and effortless thing on lock then becomes totally essential, and that’s where belted pants come in: They’ve done half the work for you thanks to the little detail that pulls together the piece like that. Plus, they’re crazy comfortable and totally trend-right. What’s not to love? Scroll on for 14 perfect tie-waist pants and skirts that will change your morning routine.
1. ASOS Lounge Pants With Tie ($43): Nope, you’re not dreaming. You can, in fact, rock these knitted lounge pants at your nine-to-five. While straight-up sweatpants are a major no-no, these bad boys will slip under the radar with a blazer, button-down and block-heel pumps, no problem.
2. Lavish Alice Sash Tie Detail Crossover Trousers ($58): Pieces that pack maximum impact with minimal effort are the building blocks on which a lazy girl’s wardrobe is based. And that’s the beauty of these blush bottoms. Standout details like crossover styling hold it down, making extras totally optional.
