Tracee Ellis Ross has just demonstrated that fashionable individuals favor loose-fitting pants over tight jeans, without a doubt.

      I understand that you may be curious about when the era of oversized pants will come to an end, especially with the resurgence of tighter fits like capris, cigarette pants, and, of course, skinny jeans this year. My prediction: it won’t. The flowy, relaxed silhouette continues to attract the attention of fashion enthusiasts, including one of the most fashionable celebrities, Tracee Ellis Ross. She was recently seen in Los Angeles wearing a complete Willy Chavarria outfit: an oversized striped button-up, a striped tie, and black pleated pants, all paired with loafers.

      While skinny jeans and pants have made an unexpected return this year, looser styles have never been more in vogue, with new variations of this trend emerging every season (including the recent genie pants). Ross is familiar with wide-leg pants, having worn them on and off the red carpet over the past few seasons. This may be attributed to her and others in the fashion world having a preference for menswear, particularly brands like Hugo Boss, Saint Laurent, and Louis Vuitton, which continue to showcase oversized pants in their collections.

      In my opinion, Ellis Ross has effectively advocated for maintaining the oversized pants trend. If you agree, keep reading to recreate her style and explore more wide-leg options to replace your tight-fitting attire.
