It's a tough race between Marlene and Venus for our top pick in this Betty Basics drop, but I think these satin pants have just won. Slinky and sophisticated, with all the comfort you expect from Betty Basics, these understated pants deliver palazzo luxury on a budget. Their wide, flowing leg is super flattering - even on petite frames! - and we love that you'll still get the perfect stretch and fit at the waist thanks to some handy elastication. Add a tee and sneakers, or take them to work with the Jayde Satin Blazer and some loafers. If you're in the market for smart bottoms, add these to the top of your list!

• Satin hand feel
• Elasticated waistband at rear
• Wide leg
