I Discovered It: The Non-Denim Skinny Pant Trend That Fashion Enthusiasts Are *Really* Donning

      It's here—the surprising pant trend that fashion insiders are discreetly endorsing for summer 2025. While conversations swirl around whether skinny jeans are making a return (or are still out), the real shift is occurring in a completely different direction: pedal pushers. Yes, those cropped, slim-fitting trousers that end just below the knee are making a stylish return, and their current styling feels sophisticated, contemporary, and surprisingly chic. Think less retro Mod and more subtle French Riviera. Fashion enthusiasts are replacing their denim choices with tailored pedal pushers crafted from luxe materials like cotton-twill, crisp poplin, and soft linen. When paired with minimalist slingbacks or sleek ballet flats, they resemble the cooler version of capris, particularly when styled with a tucked-in button-down or a sculptural tank top and bold accessories. The proportions have an almost editorial quality, especially when the pants sit just above the calf.

      The best part? They are incredibly versatile. You can wear them for lunch, meetings, and even a classy dinner reservation—just swap a poplin shirt for a sheer blouse and you're ready to go. Available in classic black or muted neutral tones, this skinny-pant alternative offers a polished look without effort. And if you need more convincing, check out the stylish outfits below. Scroll on to discover how to wear pedal pushers (the elegant way) this summer, along with our favorite picks.
