Looking for Effortless Outfits? They All Begin With This Pants Trend.
I’m the kind of person who doesn’t mind spending 30, 45, or even 60 minutes choosing an outfit from my closet if it results in a fantastic look. However, I can admit that I sometimes yearn for the easy option—an outfit that requires minimal effort to assemble. While getting dressed can be challenging, having a specific pants trend in your wardrobe can make it much easier than it seems. The pants in question? Drawstring pants, made from materials like silk, cotton poplin, or linen. Achieving a chic, polished, and effortless look has never been more feasible, especially with every brand releasing their own take on the drawstring pants trend in 2025. Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Laura Harrier are often spotted wearing them in New York and Los Angeles, while London influencers such as Lucy Williams and Monikh Dale swear by them, as do our own Who What Wear editors. Together, they've shown that comfortable pants can be stylish and suitable for more than just lounging at home or a day at the beach. When styled properly, they can be dressed up for nearly any occasion—without the stress that often comes with getting ready. Below, explore the appeal of drawstring pants, the go-to summer bottoms for those who prioritize ease.
