I Finally Found the Pants That All the Trendy New Yorkers Are Wearing Instead of Jeans.

      As we find ourselves 10 months into 2025, it's evident that the fashion landscape is evolving, with jeans taking a backseat while trousers emerge as a trend. This year, the style-conscious are favoring fluid silhouettes over denim, largely thanks to Leset. Fashion editors and content creators from Paris and London to New York City and Los Angeles are turning to Leset for its effortlessly stylish pants. The brand has successfully bridged the gap between casual loungewear and refined ready-to-wear, demonstrating that comfort can coexist with sophistication. Even celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, and Dakota Johnson—each an A-lister with enviable style—are advocates for the Los Angeles-based label. Whether it's for a meeting, a flight, or shopping at the farmers market, these insiders opt for Leset pants, styling them with everything from sweaters and flats to tees and sneakers.

      One of the key reasons behind Leset's devoted following is the remarkable versatility of its pants. With various silhouettes and fabrics—ranging from elegant pull-on satin styles to tailored cotton poplin options and stretch-knit designs that transition seamlessly from home to street—there's truly something for every wardrobe and lifestyle. Since Leset's inception in 2019, I've closely watched its ascent and the now-iconic pant styles, particularly the brand's best-selling core silhouettes: Barb, Kyoto, Lauren, Margo, and Yoshi. I've consumed a multitude of reviews, checked out try-ons, and saved countless Instagram posts and TikTok clips. Yet, remarkably, I had never tried them myself—largely because they often sell out within moments of being restocked. I decided to leverage my work benefits to contact the brand and request my top five picks. Keep reading to hear my impressions of these styles and discover why the desire for a pair seems to grow each season. The best part? They have just been restocked, so if you have your eye on a pair, I recommend acting quickly.

      Leset Lauren Pants

      My review: I would argue that the Lauren style is Leset's most popular pant. Why? Over the years, the brand has created new versions while retaining the essence of the original style. There are the Lauren Wide-Leg Pants, Lauren Crop Drawstring Pants, Lauren Crop Pleated Pocket Pants, and standard Lauren Pocket Pants, all of which I have tried. These pants are made from a soft, crêpe-like fabric that moves with you beautifully, giving them an upscale look. They blend practicality and comfort, featuring a gentle pull-on style with sleek side slit pockets and a soft elastic waistband that fits comfortably without being restrictive. While the brand recommends sizing up, I would advise sizing down since they typically run large.

      Size range: XS–XL

      Colorways: Three

      Materials: 47% polyester, 47% rayon, 6% spandex

      Sizing tip: Size down

      Leset Margo Pants

      My review: As I write this during my 15-hour flight to Hong Kong, I'm currently in Leset's Margo Pants. With ample time on my hands, let me share my thoughts. These pants are essential. If you've been searching for elevated sweatpants, like Rag & Bone's Miramar pants, that don’t actually resemble sweatpants, then these are it. The silhouette is a straight-leg style that's slightly roomier and features a barrel-leg tapering at the ankle. The waist has a comfortable medium-elastic band, and there are practical front and back pockets because Leset knows the importance of usability in fashion. The fabric is a cozy cotton blend that feels high-quality and keeps me warm, even with the airplane AC blasting. While I styled them with a shrunken crewneck sweater and ALO Sunset Sneakers for my journey, I'd also wear them with a more polished ensemble, such as a white tee, a leather jacket, and pointed-toe flats to elevate the look.

      Size range: XS–XL

      Colorways: One

      Material: 100% cotton

      Sizing tip: Size down

      Leset Barb Pants

      My review: I may have been a bit overzealous when I claimed that all pant styles were restocked—specifically, the pair I received of the Barb Pants. These feature a high waist, pleats, large pockets, and an elastic waistband at the back. They resemble traditional trousers with a more elegant, draped silhouette, giving them an upscale appearance. The standout aspect is the satin fabric, which feels luxurious like silk. Despite being thick enough to avoid transparency, it remains lightweight and airy, so it won’t weigh you down. The Barb Pants tend to run long and slightly large, aligning with other styles from Leset. At 5'1", even with 1.5-inch heels, I found them dragging on the floor. Nonetheless, the longer leg creates a lovely drape that helps me look taller, especially when
