Shopping for jeans is notoriously difficult. There are so many factors to consider, from fit and comfort to trends and pricing. And when it comes to denim in particular, a pair of jeans may look great on but not have enough give to wear all day long. Known for its viral exercise dress that took TikTok by storm, Halara recently launched pants that solve all your denim-shopping woes. Halara’s denim-alternative assortment features bottoms that look like denim but actually feel like leggings.

HalaraMagic Denim has released different silhouettes that come with elastic waistbands and no zippers, reminiscent of the jeggings of 2010. They’re designed with a two-way stretch fabric that makes them extra comfy and lightweight, but they have the texture of regular jeans. Plus, Halara’s jeans are available from sizes 0 to 16 at an affordable price point ranging from $30 to $70.

Three PS editors tried out three different styles from the collection, including bootcut, wide-leg, and cargo silhouettes. Like many shoppers, we have complicated relationships with denim, but the test was met with overwhelming approval. We agreed the bottoms look like typical jeans and can be styled as such but feel buttery soft and offer a cozy stretch without compromising on fit. One editor even wore them for Thanksgiving dinner a few weeks ago, so that alone should tell you just how comfortable they are. Below, see how we wore Halara’s new jeans and get more of our honest thoughts on the collection.
