Oprah has been a longtime champion of Spanx, since way back when she featured entrepreneur and CEO Sara Blakely on her show over two decades ago. Since she called mainstream attention to the brand, it has become synonymous with shapewear. We love Spanx for its tummy-taming bodysuits and slimming shapers, but Oprah found more gems from the brand just in time for holiday gifting season. (These are much comfier, too.) The Spanx AirEssentials Wide Leg Pant and the AirEssentials Half Zip both made their debut on Oprah's Favorite Things List this year and we love them as much as she does.
“You might know Spanx for its shapewear, but it also does fantastic cozy clothes," Oprah said. "When I tell you this set feels light as air, I’m not kidding. It’s my new leisure suit. The perfectly loose-and-lightweight fabric is like buttah!”
Buttah, you say? Count us in. The suit consists of the pants and the half-zip pullover, both excellent holiday gift options for someone special who deserves a little relaxation. The collection was designed for luxurious lounging, constructed with breezy fabric that feels soft and silky on the skin. Or you can sport it yourself on those work-from-home days. These two pieces are not just comfortable, but high-quality and fashionable, too, so you can get away with them even during "camera-on" meetings.
Both the pants and the pullover have that "throw-on-and-go" vibe. The premium lighter-than-air fabric, soft four-way stretch spacer fabric to be exact, is both effortlessly comfortable and flattering. Each style in the AirEssentials collection features an oversized fit for easy layering, too.
The life of a luxurious lounger is one we want to live, so it's safe to say we're with Oprah on this one.
