These pants present as casual athletic gear, and they are—eminently layerable, or alone, walk/run/hike/errand in them—sure. Great wind resistance, light warmth, moisture wicking etc. But consider trying them with...heels? A little cardigan? A big cardigan? A button down? Works. The bottoms have hidden elastic, so wear them wide legged, or pull the elastics and do a loop around the ankle for a cinched fit. Super lightweight and take up zero room in the suitcase. Unisex.
