Flattering Convertible Casual/Sleep Pants

Abstract

Traditional pajama pant legs do not stay in place during sleep, and elastic-bottomed sweat pants are not flattering to most women. The pants proposed herein solve both problems by providing a multi-use garment that is flattering while also providing warmth and sleep comfort. The pants can be worn for sleep or lounging during cool weather, and yet convert to a flattering style that is appropriate for casual wear in public. These pants have ribbed cuffs at the ankles, which can be used in two ways: 1) the cuffs can be pulled down over the feet for warmth while sleeping or lounging; or 2) the cuffs can be worn at the ankle with the drapey pants fabric hanging down around them, hiding the cuffs underneath and making them appropriate to be worn in public. Further, the cuffs can be turned up or down, easily accommodating both longer and shorter legs.

1 . The scope of this invention encompasses the concept of making lounge pants suitable for both sleep and public wear by using an elastic or ribbed cuff or hem that can be pulled down past the feet for sleep or worn at the ankles to create the appearance of conventional slacks.
