Kaia Gerber wears the pants trend that replaces leggings

Remember when leggings were the only “comfy” pants a fashionable girl would wear outside? Well, those days are long gone. Now, there are many styles of casual pants to wear when going out, and some even dress them up for a night out. Of course, leggings are still very popular, but gone are the days when they were considered the number one casual pants trend. However, in 2024, a new comfy pants trend has emerged that I predict you’ll want to get your hands on (if you don’t already have them).

The trend I’m referring to is pull-on, wide-leg pants, which can be likened to pajama pants or elastic-waist pants. The truth is, there are plenty of sleek options on the market that won’t make you look like you just rolled out of bed. Kaia Gerber wore one in New York. Gerber paired the black pull-on pants with a blue knit top and ballet flats. Follow her example when choosing and wearing pants: low-waisted, long and loose.

The most popular pull-on pants right now are Enza Costa’s Everywhere (and Resort) Pants and Reformation’s Olina Pants. I own both and can vouch for their quality. So keep scrolling for outfit inspiration and to shop our top picks for pull-on pants.
