We like our fair share of fashion here at Brit + Co, but we also consider comfort to be one of our top priorities. And contrary to popular belief, you can have both at the same time! Case in point? Drawstring pants, your new best friend — these guys have been around for practically forever, but designers are starting to utilize bold and fun prints that absolutely fulfill all of our fashion needs. After checking these 14 pairs out, you’ll be ready to rock them in the office, on a date or even to an interview. Yup, believe it.
1. Drawstring Sweat Pants ($39): These are one of the trendiest animal print pants we’ve ever seen. Dress these up with a nice blouse and wear ’em to work.
2. Tribal Print Drawstring Pants ($18): A funky mixture of different tribal prints? Yes, please. We’re totally diggin’ this patchwork style that is best worn to the beach or on a lazy weekend day.
3. Geo Print Drawstring Pants ($98): We heart the tailored look of these geo-print pants. Put on a pair of black heels, and instantly go from comfortable to formal.
4. Drawstring Camo Trousers ($198): Let’s be real. When was the last time you saw a pair of camo print pants look this fashionable?
5. Scarf Print Drawstring Pants ($11): This outfit is so hot; we absolutely adore the way it was styled. It’d be so great for a late night outdoor party.
6. Nomadic Fanatic Pants ($118): Show off your deep love for tribal prints in these nomadic pants. Music festival, anyone?
7. Monochrome Square Print Trousers ($36): As much as we love color, we just can’t get over how lovely these monochrome trousers are. Throw on a bright color top and let the compliments roll in.
8. Printed Baggy Trousers ($35): Pockets make every pair of pants, dress, shirt, jacket, etc just that much better.
9. Lorissa Floral Pants ($68): It’s now time for the most unique pair of drawstring pants you’ll ever see. These semi-sheer pants definitely have that light and summery vibe.
10. Denim Baggy Trousers ($35): Just can’t go a day without wearing denim? No worries. These trousers have the same look in a softened texture.
11. Bright Eyes Pants in Autumn Rose ($108): Dark floral prints are the perfect way to bring a little flower power into your evening outfits.
12. Mason Drawstring Pants ($195): This pair may be covered in circus stripes, but they definitely belong on the runway. So chic.
13. Geo Tropical-Print Drawstring Pants ($80): Kudos to Guess for creating one of the coolest tropical prints ever. It’s the perfect combination of a warm, floral print and some snazzy geometric stripes.
14. Drawstring Pants in Cove Floral ($72): Okay, so we still kinda miss our traditional tropical prints. Summer’s not over yet, folks!

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
