The Joss pants are supremely comfortable and a really fun beginner pants project. They have an elastic waistband, trendy wide legs cropped at the ankles, a high rise, and two easy-to-sew patch pockets.
Fabrics to shop
Look for medium-weight woven fabrics like cotton twill, linen blends, denim, chambray, and rayon twill.
