Product FAQ
I honestly hate wearing long pants cos of the weather in Asia. I always opt for shorts when I can, until I found the Isabel pants 🫣 Now I really can’t stop wearing it to run errands, go shopping, go on dates and even to travel! It’s so comfy, I even wore it to go ice skating!
Truly my go-to pants cos I can style it relaxed or wear a shirt over & still look put together! I love that you can also wear it high or low-waisted & you can secure it with the side buttons!!
So recommended to anyone looking for a comfy & versatile pants!
Hi Nad,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We totally get the long-pants-in-Asia struggle, so hearing this makes OB Team smile sooo much :)
We appreciate that you have been wearing it everywhere from errands to dates to travel (even ice skating!), and still feeling comfy but put together which is exactly what we hoped Isabel would do!
Thank you again for the love, and we’re so happy she’s found a permanent spot in your rotation :)
There are several details that I love about the Isabel Expandable Hi-Low Pocket Pants.
1. The Modal fabric - I'm not only an active gal, but also a sweaty one. The fabric keeps me cool in our Singapore humid climate while I'm going about my day for work and leisure.
2. Elasticity of the fabric - Aside from being an active gal, I'm also constantly on the move for work. I love my active wear more than regular non-stretch clothes as it allows me the ease of movement. Not to mention, accommodating the days when I bloat. I find such features awesome for women since our bodies fluctuate due to our hormones.
3. Gillian, the designer and founder, has included so many thoughtful details into the design. This pants can be worn both regular and high waisted by folding and unfolding the waist band. Ingenious design really! I personally wear high waisted bottoms. These pants will not dig into my flesh while wearing them and I can practically live in them cos they are super comfy. The wide leg also makes these pants flattering on all body types. I have wide hips, heavy bottom and thic thighs. There's also a pleat detail at the back of the pants which gives the glute/ bum a flattering shape. I also love how this pair of pants transition from work to a dinner date seamlessly.

Bought another pants at first but realised it was way too tight since I’m pregnant and the tummy is growing. Emailed in to check whether I can exchange for a different size but was recommended to try this pants instead. Not my usual style but decided to try it anyways and no regrets!!!! It’s so soft and comfortable even with the growing tummy that I’m gonna buy it in another colour too! It’s my go to whenever I leave the house now!
Hi Jia Qi :) we’re so glad you decided to give Isabel Pants a try! One of the things we love most about Isabel is how comfortably she adapts through different stages, especially during pregnancy, so it means a lot to hear that she's been serving you and your growing bump well!
We hope she continues to be your go-to piece for many months to come, and thank you so much for trusting our recommendation
I bought the Jesse Tencel pants in denim for maternity wear, and found those to be comfy but too tight for later in second trimester. The Olive Basics team referred me the Isabel pants which have been both flattering and really comfortable to wear!
Hi Jiahui! Thank you so much for sharing this Happy to hear Isabel pants worked out well for you and that they’ve been comfy and flattering for your maternity journey 😊 Our Jesse pants may not be as stretchy for some preggo mums depending on how the bump grows, but we're really happy to hear that you still found them comfortable! We truly appreciate you trusting our recommendations, and if you ever need help with sizing or styles along the way, we’re always happy to help :)
Have bought other maternity pants before for my first pregnancy but these are by far much more comfortable. Sized down for this pair after trying on at the Mummy’s Market as they have more stretch.
Hi Mag,
Thank you so much for sharing this
We are so glad to hear your review, especially after your first pregnancy. And thank you for coming by Mummy’s Market to try them on in person too! It means a lot to us :) Also really appreciate you mentioning the sizing on you, that’s so helpful for other mamas as well!
We hope they continue to support you comfortably through this season and beyond :)
