These New $18 Soft Pants Are the One Thing I’d Buy From H&M Right Now

H&M's new arrivals section is a treat to peruse on any given day, but especially when you find an affordable gem that isn't sold out yet (it happens fast), and even better when that gem is wildly comfortable. A couple of months ago, I wrote about the fact that ribbed knit loungewear looks far more expensive than its non-ribbed counterparts. One of my favorite places to shop for this type of loungewear has long been H&M, and it really lived up to my expectations with the pants I just added to my cart.
The pants in question are cropped, wide-leg, and made of ribbed knit. They're perfect for lounging around but they're also nice enough to wear out in the world, and they've racked up lots of 5-star reviews (which leads me to believe that they were previously released in other colors). At the moment, they're fully stocked in Dusty Rose, which happens to be my favorite of the three colors on offer, but act fast because you know what's going to happen as soon as everyone discovers these.
Keep scrolling to shop the $18 pants I'm eyeing, along with the rest of my favorite H&M new arrivals.
