While honing in on my personal style, I’ve realized that I tend to gravitate toward pieces that look polished but don’t skimp on comfort. That might sound like a tall order, but I’ve been able to slowly fill my closet with items that can seamlessly go from casual daytime events to a night out for dinner with little effort on my end.
Most recently, the piece that checks all of those boxes is the lightweight Suit Up Trousers from a celeb-worn brand that I’ve relied on for years. Alo Yoga has long been my go-to for comfortable sweat sets and athleisure, but the brand’s collection of stylish everyday clothing is my new hyperfixation, specifically these petite-friendly pants.

The pleated design on the front of these trousers makes them easy to style with a button-down top or short-sleeve blouse. While the material is dressier, the boxer-style elastic waistband makes them casual enough to go with a simple T-shirt as well. I have worn them during long workdays, to lunch with friends, and while running errands, and I have been impressed with how they remain wrinkle-free all day.
The best part is they fit my 5-foot-2 frame without any alterations needed, which, if you’re also petite, is a rare occurrence. I snagged the pants in the regular length, which has a 30-inch inseam, and they are the ideal length with both sneakers and sandals. They also come in a long length with a 33-inch inseam if needed.
As a frequent traveler, I’m already planning to wear these for my next flight since one shopper said they are “great for travel or long days.” They also noted that they “feel like wearing performance joggers,” but look like “you’re ready for business,” which I definitely agree with. Plus, the breathable material is ideal for the fluctuating temperatures that typically occur during a travel day.
Don’t just take it from me, though. More than 300 shoppers give these pants a five-star rating, including one person who said they are an “absolute game changer” and the ideal balance between “sophistication and athletic comfort.” I have them in navy blue, but they also come in black and taupe. Considering how often I’m wearing this pair, I am already considering adding another color to my arsenal.
