When the fall and winter seasons kick into high gear, we tend to become a little bit lazier. It starts getting dark out earlier and the temps are chilly, so most nights are spent on the couch in the coziest of loungewear.

But sometimes, we have to leave the house. Social lives don’t stop for the season! if we could get away with rocking sweats, leggings or other comfy pants normally reserved for indoor wear, that would make everything easier! With that in mind, we selected a slew of styles that can totally pass as a pair of going out pants with the right styling. Discover these ultra-comfy picks in our roundup below!
