Martha Stewart just brought back the fabric of my youth.

The entertaining expert shouted out her hairstylist, Evonna Bou, in a recent Instagram post -- but I'll admit my heart eyes were reserved for her early 2000s-coded navy velour pants, which she paired with an Aritzia puffer jacket and quilted boots.

As someone who came of age during the Juicy Couture velour tracksuit era, I'm thrilled to see the trend making a comeback. Stewart's worn velour multiple times recently, including a yellow matching set and light brown outfit. Not to mention, Paris Hilton rocked a pink velour tracksuit lately, too.

Ready to luxe up your loungewear collection à la Stewart? I rounded up eight pairs of velour lounge pants on Amazon, starting at $25.

Cozziplus Velour Pants

These straight-leg velour pants with a drawstring waistband and angled side pockets have a similar vibe to Stewart's pair. In addition to navy like she wore, they come in eight colors like black, gray, brown, and dark green, plus sizes S-XL.

Juicy Couture Drawstring Velour Pants

What kind of fashion writer would I be if I didn't include a pair of Juicy Couture velour pants in this roundup? From the blinged-out rhinestone logo across the back to the wide-leg silhouette and drawcord at the waist, these are the pants that started it all -- and they're still just as cool.

Oppchy Velvet Wide-Leg Pants

Contrasting drawstring ties make these navy velour pants feel a bit more stylish than your average pair. One reviewer, who received the pants for free, said they're "the definition of comfy AF," adding that they're "flattering" and "not clingy."

Youngull Velour Jogger Pants

If you're a fan of jogger pants, try this plush velour pair with a drawstring waistband and curved front pockets. "These feel very well-made and look amazing," one shopper raved. "I got lots of compliments on them."

Cupshe Velour Wide-Leg Pants

Wondering whether you can wear velour pants to the office? Thanks to these wide-leg trousers with a faux-button fly, front pleats, and a pull-on waistband, the answer's a definitive yes. In addition to navy like Stewart wore, they come in four colors like burgundy and dark green, plus sizes XS-XL.

Florence by Mills Velour Wide-Leg Pants

I've long been a fan of Millie Bobby Brown's eponymous beauty line, so I was thrilled to discover she makes comfy loungewear too. I've got my eye on these velour wide-leg pants, which have an unexpected zipper fly with ribbon detail. They're available in four colors and sizes XXS-XXL.

Facitisu Velour Tracksuit

Since Stewart has worn velour matching sets multiple times, I want to, too -- and I'm definitely eyeing this navy set like hers. It includes a full-zip hoodie with a front kangaroo pocket and straight-leg pants with back patch pockets, and it comes in sizes S-3X.

DKNY Velour Straight-Leg Sweatpants

Thanks to a slouchy, wide-leg silhouette and pull-on waistband, these velour sweatpants are the perfect recreation of early 2000s style. They're finished with side pockets and a sparkly logo detail at the hip.
