Now available in regular and long. Long is appx. 4" longer than regular. In our experience, petites have easily worn regular length without length issues, with seldom returns. Looking for the striped version? Click here.
These leggings were first created simply for pairing with tops in National Picnic photo shoots, and surprise, customers asked for them.
Leggings are everywhere. But these are NOT polyester or nylon like the athletic ones. Sewn right here in the U.S., AND of U.S. milled fabric (which in the legging world, makes them pretty rare and special). So they'll stick around on the website for those who want them, made to order. Allow about a week to sew before shipping.
Thanks for asking about them and letting us know why you like them. The cuff at the ankle, nice touch. They seem to be just the right length. They hug your leg, but not skin tight. See the photos, they are worn pretty true to size.
Most fans of these wear them for layering—under clothing that covers the butt. We've processed a lot of feedback on these! If you prefer the type of leggings advertised as shapewear, or standalone pants, these soft, comfort-instead-of-compression leggings are probably not for you.
One customer does love them for yoga. National Picnic didn't think it made yogawear, but it makes perfect sense. So much stretch.
Rayon jersey with a generous amount of Spandex to keep the knees from getting saggy. Waistband sits higher, near belly button. Great for a layer of warmth under dresses, skirts and tunics—when you're not wearing them as pajamas.
Made with sustainability-minded Ecovero™ Viscose. ECOVERO™ fibers have been certified with the EU Ecolabel as meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, distribution and disposal.
CLEANING NOTES Best care: Hand wash or machine wash delicate cycle, cold water. Smooth it out with hands, laying flat to air dry. Wrinkling falls out with body movement shortly after putting it on, but If you prefer ironing, It's OK to pass a steaming iron gently over surface if needed, garment turned inside out. Other acceptable care: Dry cleaning is also an option. Processes to avoid: Do not put in the dryer, or use warm or hot water, it will shrink your garment (mostly in length but also a little in width). Do not use bleach.
92% Ecovero™ Viscose (a type of rayon) and 8% Spandex. Made in the USA of USA-made fabric.
These leggings were comfortable as soon as I put them on. They also washed well and were still comfortable. I bought the eggplant and forest green. I also have T shirts that coordinate. Love them all!

Jeans-meets-pajamas in a lighter weight denim with wide leg style.
High-waisted, gathered elastic waistband for pull-on style. We do not stonewash or distress the garment after sewing. The weight of this denim makes it naturally softer, with a swingy drape. A polished denim look that becomes more broken in over time. These are wide and straight, not wide and flared out near the hem. Patch pockets and topstitching down the outside leg seam.
Yours may be sewn to order, allow about a week to sew before it ships.
Two lengths are offered:
Regular: a good choice for 5'6" women and under. It is intended to have a playful shorter look at average heights, they will likely graze or show ankle on all but the petite, depending on your height. 37" on the side seam from top of waistband to hem, 26" inseam.
Long (3 inches longer than Regular): Appx. 40" on the side seam, measured from top of waistband to hem. Appx 29" inseam. Try LONG if you want to wear a longer length, want it to graze or cover heels, plan to hem it (by yourself by your local alterations specialist), or are a taller gal.
When using measurements to decide fit, please note that this pant's higher waist sits at the smallest part of the waist. We can sew these with a raw unfinished hem for you to tailor, reach out and request.
Flat garment measurements, at hip To assist you with choosing your size, compare these measurements to something similar in your closet that you like how it fits. Note that these are GARMENT, not BODY. The numbers should be larger than your body measurments, in order to have room for your limbs. XS: 19" (38" of room) S: 20 (40" of room) M: 22 (44" of room) L: 25" (48" of room) XL: 27" (54" of room) 1X: 29" (58" of room) 2X: 31" (62" of room) 3X: 33" (66" of room)
Machine wash cold or warm, air dry or tumble dry on low. Iron with cotton setting. 100% Cotton Sewn in the USA of imported fabric.
A nostalgic wrap skirt design, comes in both blue (Indigo) and black (Smoke) shades of medium weight denim. It is a true wrap style, overlapping in the front. Slotted opening for threading the belt through. It can be tied into a decorative bow at the back OR the ties can reach back around to the front for a shorter tie. Clean and undistressed.
Front patch pocket is optional, will fit most cell phones.
Yours may be made to order, allow 1-2 weeks to sew before shipping.
32" long skirt hits somewhere between mid calf and ankle on average heights. It wraps into a tall A-line (even the smallest size requires 3 yards of fabric to complete), evoking silhouettes popular in the 1970s. The suggestion of apron ties nods to a few other decades. It has a vintage air, but is sewn from fresh, new material.
High-waisted look—it is designed to tie at your natural waist.
Fit:
Choose fit by your waist size, although it's the most adjustable item we make, it does come in a few sizes. The A-line hip area drapes freely.
Designed to fit several sizes with the same skirt, there is some overlap between sizes we call "smaller" and "larger". On the cusp: If you are a large, you can likely wear either size, but "larger" will overlap more in the front of the wrap.
For 2X and up, please add your waist measurement in the "message" section of your order, your skirt will be made to measure.
100% Cotton
Machine wash cold, Smooth with hands while damp and hang to dry. Iron with cotton setting, with steam is OK. Made in the USA of imported fabric.
I’ve purchased a handful of tops and bottoms, each of which have been made with care. No irregularities in sizing or fabric - just awesome, true to size pieces. Proud to be able to buy American made goods. You’ll love the customer care - thank you National Picnic!

A luxurious wide leg pant in made of Tencel®. "Palazzo" is a classic style of pant that refers to a pant with a wide and straight leg. Roomy and splendid, perfect for being at ease. Dramatic, maximum swish.
Tencel® checks all of our boxes for durability, softness, sustainability, and ethics. It is not only a sustainable fabric. It's a conscionable alternative to silk—it's vegan—with a softness of hand that rivals it and a durability that exceeds it. Try it :)
The fabric has the appearance of awashedsilk in that its surfaces have a similar patina.
Has elastic waistband for easy pull-on style. Hits around the belly button. Side hem pockets.
Your pants may be made to order. Allow appx. 2 weeks before your item ships.
Two lengths are offered:
Regular: As seen on model photo. a good choice for 5'6" women and under. It is intended to have an ankle-length look for the average gal, longer on petites.
Long: 3 inches longer than Regular. Choose this if you want to wear a longer length, want it to graze or cover heels, plan to hem it (by yourself by your local alterations specialist), or are a taller gal.
Waistband with elastic gathering. The drape will fall toward the body, and it swishes while you walk.
Elastic waistband measurement, unstretched.* XS: 25" S: 27" M: 29" L: 32" XL: 34" Compare this measurement to something in your closet with a 1.5" elastic waist for best size comparison. Different types/widths of elastic affect stretchability and fit, which is why some of the same sizes across different garments may have different measurements.

You Need These Pants!
People, stop what you're doing and buy these pants- seriously! They're as comfy as pj's but look and feel so luxurious. Bonus points for slow fashion- they're beautifully well-made, and I know I never have to worry about them falling apart. True to size, versatile, comfortable...okay, stop reading so you can buy these!

Lovely pants
Great fit, deep pockets, nice light weight for summer/fall. Wearing these at home makes me feel fancy, looking forward to wearing them out more and more as able. Dress up with heels or down with sneakers. Great!
A nostalgic wrap skirt design offered in seasonal plaids. Fit is adjustable, please read below for size choosing tips ("smaller" actually fits up to size large, etc).
A semicircular swath of fabric sends the plaid radiating in several directions as it wraps around the waist for impressive visual effect.
This skirt is a true wrap style, overlapping in the front. Slotted opening for threading the belt through. It can be tied into a decorative bow at the back OR the ties can reach back around to the front for a shorter tie.
New plaids in differing fabric weights (like snuggly flannels) rotate in as the seasons change, check back near autumn for heavier, warmer plaids.
A front patch pocket is optional (see example photo), will fit most cell phones. It's optional because without the pocket, the skirt has an elegant, minimalist simplicity. A pocket detail adds casual-looking utility, but that may not be wanted for dressier events or office wear.
Yours may be made to order, allow 1-2 weeks to sew before shipping.

It is designed to tie high, at your natural waist.

Some colors have additional seams on the larger sizes due to being 45" width fabric ("fun" and "treat").
100% Cotton Machine wash cold on delicate. Smooth with hands while damp and dry flat or draped across a drying rack. Avoid hanging from the waist while wet to prevent distortion. Iron with cotton setting, with steam is OK. Made in the USA of imported fabric.
Love the lines and colors in this skirt. Is a great addition to my NatPic 'Thanksgiving' line! Looking forward to enjoying this through the colder weather.

Sorry, no pocket. The silky drape and bias of this fabric doesn't support a patch pocket like the denim or plaid versions we offer. Pockets are featured on those styles.

This is yet another amazing National picnic piece (I think I am officially addicted to everything Betsy Cook makes). I actually haven't owned or worn a skirt in over 5 years. But I simply couldn't resist an apron skirt in black. I love the silouette and the subtle sheen of tencel. It moves beautifully, just makes you want to twirl. Well, and that adjustable waist is an obvious perk these days ;). The skirt pairs beautifully with the bateau short sleeve shirt that I bought in oat, but I also love it with a simple white t-shirt and some sneakers.
These leggings were comfortable as soon as I put them on. They also washed well and were still comfortable. I bought the eggplant and forest green. I also have T shirts that coordinate. Love them all!
