J.Lo Just Wore the Anti-Trend Pant Color That's Fresher Than Black, Gray, and White
When we think of timeless, versatile pants, black, gray, and white usually come to mind. These neutral tones have long been wardrobe staples, offering effortless sophistication and flexibility. But there's another color that deserves just as much attention: brown. Often overlooked, brown pants bring an understated elegance that adds a fresh, chic vibe to any outfit. We're not the only ones who think so—just look at Jennifer Lopez's latest look.
J.Lo recently shared a series of photos from her trip to Dubai on Instagram. In them, she showed off a business-chic ensemble featuring brown wide-leg pants. She styled them in a monochromatic palette, pairing them with a matching brown double-breasted blazer and button-down shirt.

While brown, mainly chocolate brown, has been a go-to hue for the fashion set in the fall and winter, its popularity shows no signs of slowing down as we head into spring. The color offers warmth without the heaviness of darker winter tones and works beautifully with the vibrant shades of spring, like green, powder pink, and soft yellow. If you're on board with brown pants, keep scrolling to shop some of the coolest pairs to wear in 2025.

Last spring, capri pants that hit above the ankle were very popular, but this year, the trend is all about kick-flare pants.
