Simplifies the construction with a single-layer waistband and fewer inseam options to reduce manufacturing costs and streamline inventory. Positions the product as an accessible "everyday essential" for lounging, errands, and light activity, rather than a specialized technical garment for yoga. Focuses marketing on durability and ease of care, as polyester blends are known for their resilience and resistance to wrinkling.
