Land's End Sun Life Convertible Pants
I’m exceedingly fair skinned, and let’s just say my thighs ain’t what they used to be. Lastly, I hate the heat. Usually I spend my summer in capri pants or long skirts, but those still aren’t as cool as shorts. This year, I found Land’s End Sun Life Adjustable Pants and decided to give them a try.
Pros
These pants are super light weight and they dry quickly, which is convenient, if you happen to get caught in the crossfire of a water fight as I did last Sunday.
They are adjustable to three lengths, full-length, mid-calf, and just below the knee. We’ve had an unpredictable start to the summer and these pants have been perfect on those cool mornings that become hot and humid days. The adjustments are made by rolling the pants up and securing them with tabs that button. Although these pants are still mostly casual wear this also lets you tailor the look a little.
They come in great colors a few traditional and subdued (navy, olive and khaki) and some fun summer shades (peony pink, coral orange and fresh green).
Cons
They can be pricey. Full price they are $44.50 to $49.50. I’ve managed to find mine on sale either online or in the Land’s End Shop at Sears.
Despite having an elastic back, this cut is not the best fit for my body type. I carry my weight in my stomach and the cut on these pants is just below the waist with a straight leg. This doesn’t fit me as well as other Land’s End products, but it they are still comfortable.
I wish the tabs that secure the pants had a second buttonhole. That would allow me to roll them up one more time on those miserably hot days.
Despite these minor issues, I own three pairs.
Recommend? Yes
