The verdict
Fit
Relaxed lounge styling suggests a loose, roomy fit throughout, ideal for comfort over shape; true to size or even sizing down is likely fine for most.
Quality
The knitwear tag suggests a softer, possibly brushed fabrication meant for comfort rather than structure, in line with the brand's general reputation for soft basics.
Is the price fair?
At $150 this is on the expensive side for essentially a loungewear sweatpant, and a meaningful part of the cost is the brand name rather than distinct materials.
Best for
Someone who wants a soft, roomy sweatpant purely for lounging at home and values the brand's look.
Care
Wash cold and dry on low to keep the softer knit from breaking down quickly.
What owners report about ESSENTIALS sweatpants
One owner's year-long wear report found the fleece held up well: no pilling on the thighs and no thinning at the knees after regular winter wear, with the boxy-at-first fit relaxing into a straighter drape after repeated washing. The main complaint was the waistband, which stretches noticeably over a day of wear and only tightens back up after washing. Care guides separately flag the fabric as delicate, recommending an inside-out cold hand wash rather than a machine wash and dry to avoid shrinkage or print damage.
