I apologize, Jeans—This pant trend keeps my work, travel, and weekend outfits looking equally stylish.

      Before diving in, I want to share that I'm a huge fan of denim, particularly relaxed-fit jeans, and I typically wear jeans weekly. However, in the last eight months, a new trend in pants has completely transformed my wardrobe: drawstring pants. This style has become a favorite among fashion enthusiasts for its effortlessly chic appeal. (See some style inspiration above.) I get the hype. I began my journey last fall with a pair of Tibi pants that I purchased from Shopbop, looking for an alternative to jeans for travel. I wanted something loose and comfortable that would pair well with my everyday basics. The Tibi pants were a hit; I loved how they looked with a simple white tee and sweater, receiving many compliments on their stylish silhouette. The added bonus is that they feel like sweatpants. Since then, I’ve acquired a few different styles and other variations to occasionally give my jeans a rest. I wear them on flights, at work while traveling, and during weekends. For styling, I mix them with everything from a white tee and sneakers to a blazer and ruched loafers. I usually tuck in the drawstring and the tee for a more polished look.

      I realize I got a bit carried away praising my drawstring pants, but the gist is that I believe they are worth exploring if you’re looking for a stylish, relaxed denim alternative. I’ve compiled a list of my favorite drawstring pants to fit a range of styles, including the Tibi pair I own, summer-friendly linen options, satin selections, playful cropped styles, and more.
