My apologies, Jeans—this pants trend keeps my work, travel, and weekend outfits equally stylish.
Before we dive further into this, I want to share that I am a huge fan of denim, particularly relaxed-fit jeans, and I typically wear them every week. However, over the past eight months, a new pant trend has completely transformed my style: drawstring pants. This trend has become a favorite among fashion enthusiasts due to its effortlessly chic appeal. (Take a look at some style inspiration above.) I started experimenting with it last fall when I ordered a pair of Tibi pants from Shopbop as an alternative to jeans for my travels. I was looking for something loose and comfortable that would pair well with my usual basics. The Tibi pants were a hit; I loved how they looked with a simple white tee and sweater, and I received numerous compliments on their stylish shape. The best part is that they feel like sweatpants. Since then, I've purchased several different styles of these pants to give my jeans a break from time to time. I wear them on airplanes, for work trips, and during the weekends. When it comes to styling, I pair 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, refined look.
I realize I've gone on a bit about my love for drawstring pants, but I genuinely believe they are worth trying if you're looking for a fashionable, relaxed alternative to denim. I've compiled my favorite drawstring pants to fit various styles, including the Tibi pair I wear, linen options for summer, satin choices, fun cropped designs, and more.
