What Pact Pieces I’m Wearing on My Next Trip (Plus, a Sale!)

What clothes do you like to wear for everyday adventures or trips? On a flight, for long walks, or while knocking around the neighborhood, I feel my best in a soft sweater or relaxed skirt. So, lately, I’ve been really into Pact’s women collection. Here are a few favorites (plus, a huge sale)…

How effortlessly cute is this sweatshirt dress? Paired with white sneakers, it’s the perfect outfit to wear while curling up with a book or taking an evening stroll with friends.

This honeycomb sweater feels timeless. I’d wear it with airplane joggers over the holidays, while playing Pictionary with the boys or watching So I Married an Axe Murderer with the family. (It’s never not hilarious.)

The graceful silhouette of this midi-dress makes it perfect for dinners out or family gatherings, and I’ve always loved 3/4 sleeves. Bonus: it comes in 10 colors and has pockets!

And how about this polo sweater? This style has been everywhere this fall, and you could wear the timeless look for years. I’m also eyeing this fisherman turtleneck, which is perfect for a hair-tuck.

Good news: Pact is offering Cup of Jo readers an early Black Friday sale — which they never do. Use code COJ30 for a whopping 30% off their entire women’s collection (excluding sale items). Good through October 30th. Here are a few more pieces we adore…

Thoughts? Find everything here — including the coolest jumper and my new favorite pants.

The fit and flare dress looks so put together and still comfortable. I love the neckline, hemline, and sleeves. I just ordered it in burgundy to wear to Thanksgiving and all the winter stuff with my tall black boots. Thanks for the discount!

Loooove Pact! Their underwear is so comfy (my husband won’t wear anything else!) and their racer back bra is my favorite sports bra. (I also love Girlfriend Collective). My bff raved about the Pact maternity line. I would love to try their airplane sweats, looks so cozy and comfy. Has anyone tried their bedding?! Looks so soft.

I love Pact and live in their jammies and underwear. But, the best thing I’ve bought from Pact is by far the cooling sheets. They are heavenly and have made us hate our other sheets. I’ll be using the coupon code for another pair! Thanks!

Who makes that jogger set in the real color in first pic? I don’t see that anywhere on the PACT site.

Same. I know this company is planet-friendly, and I try to like it, but the colors are often blah.

Same. I don’t look great in blah colors, nor do I particularly like them, so while I like the idea of Pact, I never end up ordering anything from them.

Just bought the polo style sweater in that gorgeous green and no show socks. I love 100% cotton Thanks COJ and Pact!

Joanna have you shopped at Quince? I was just browsing their website and thought of you (we have similar style). I love their pieces.

I bought two cotton sweaters at Quince after seeing a rec for them in the comments section here recently. I’ve been so happy with them (great quality and price) – do you have favorite items from there to recommend? Thanks!

My husband loves their underwear. Other than that, I really want to love Pact but everything we’ve gotten across various categories has either fallen apart or had some sort of quality or design flaw. In my experience with larger thighs that rub together, the thin fabric doesn’t hold up.

Also in my experience, their customer service is excellent and they were eager to replace defective products and make sure I was as happy a customer as possible. This reflects well, but I don’t order from them anymore.

If you’re interested in wonderful (long!) leggings and unders that are USA made, excellent quality, from a woman-owned company, check out Thunderpants. I will never wear anything else.

I want to like them too but I have found their stuff to be -almost- right. The colors, prints, and cuts read a bit dowdy or frumpy to me. I want it to work for me but I’ve been underwhelmed. Glad for COJ to have a new partnership and like a lot about the company, just wish pact would modernize their looks some.

Thank you for your feedback! Each season we introduce several collections (some carryover and some brand new or updates to previous ones) our goal is to always be improving on everything from fit and size inclusivity to style and colors. I’ll pass this along to our team as we continue to improve and make progress in future seasons.

I’m always looking for 100%cotton. It always seems like such a rare find. I’m very petite and these pieces seem more straight-sized but maybe it’s worth a try!

Katherine Harrison

I looooooove their pants! Every time I put them on, I’m so happy I bought them. Love seeing them on here and excited to check out other items from them!! We have a long haul flight to Australia next spring that pact can definitely help out with ☺️

The Airplane Collection is PERFECT for long trips! It’s the most buttery, soft fabric in our lineup. We’ll have new colorways and silhouettes launching in Feb 2023, hopefully just in time for your long flight.

I just wanted to chime in to shout out Pact’s children’s line. My kids wear their adorable “hand-me-down” hoodie as jackets and I loooove their socks and underwear. They are super soft and hold up well. The children’s underwear do run very small- just a heads up.

If Pact starts making the All Ease Lounge jumpsuit again, RUN DON’T WALK. It came highly recommended to me via a COJ comment a few years ago and it is one of the comfiest things I own, but can easily be dressed up or down for wearing outside the house, on airplanes, etc. I bought it in black pre-pregnancy, and am still wearing it at 33 weeks pregnant! I found it both true to size and flexible – I’m 5′ 6″ and 170lb currently (145lb pre-pregnancy) and the medium is perfect. If you sized up it would probably also work for nursing!

Ps. I know, I know, there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, but really love to see companies that are making an effort to be more sustainable featured on COJ! Especially when the codes work in Canada :)

Everything looks so comfy, but how do they fit short people? That is always my question.

Hi Jeannie! I’m almost 5’2 with short thick legs and a booty. They’re leggings were very long on me and ran small. They’re sweatpants and hemp-blend (harbour) pants fit true to size if maybe a little small (I would say the size small of the harbour pant would fit 4-6) and the length worked for me. I think I rolled up the harbour pants so they would be a little more cropped.

I’m short (5’2 and 140 lbs) and ordered the everyday jumpsuit a while back and it wasn’t great for me and how I like my clothes to fit, though the length was fine. I have liked their tops, nightgowns, and kids clothes. I’m inclined to try the harbour zip jumpsuit and some of the dresses though.

Here to say that I highly recommend Pact for maternity clothes!! I love my joggers, leggings, and comfy long sleeve tees from them.

Pact Maternity undies were a game changer for me! I rolled my eyes at the idea of maternity undies during my first 2 pregnancies and then when I bought them during the third I was like WHAT WAS I WAITING FOR. So comfortable then, and still comfortable now in my postpartum phase.

I’m obsessed with Pact!!! Their maternity PJs were the best out of every brand I tried and I just bought a smaller size to keep wearing postpartum!!!

I love supporting CoJ but don’t always want to purchase… is there a “best practice” to make sure I am putting my clicks or comments or whatever where they matter, even if I’m not spending $$?

I love these styles but I live where winter has started and I never know how to pair boots with leisure wear without looking frumpy. And I DO NOT do cold ankles. What is the answer?!

Amy

October 27, 2022 9:03pm 9:03 pm

I live in the Midwest and I can’t do cold ankles either. I wear Blundstones with almost everything and I think they work well with leisure wear.

I’ve started to embrace having my socks be part of my outfit – they just peak out the top of the boots, mostly when I’m sitting. I’m usually wearing patterned or striped SmartWool or Darn Tough socks. I’m in New England so 100% need warm ankles! I do boots similar to Blundstones (Ariat, B’s don’t fit me well).

Claire

All I have to say about any of this is that I think dresses should always have pockets. Not little stubby superficial ones, but substantial, deliberate, purposeful pockets.

ugh completely agree. I sometimes custom order things from etsy and I realized i have to specify pocket dimensions big enough for a phone, and a fabric sturdy enough to hold the phone.

Agreed! I’m considering starting to take my clothes to a tailor to insert larger pocket linings. I’m trying to go purse-free more often–I’m sick of feeling like a pack mule.
