Kaia Gerber Wore the Easy Trouser Trend People Are Swapping Leggings For

Remember the days when pretty much the only "comfortable" pants fashion girls would wear outside were leggings? Yeah, those days are long gone. There are a plethora of casual pant styles that people wear out and about now, even dressing them up for nights out. Sure, leggings are still very popular, but gone are the days when they were considered the number one casual pant trend. But 2024 has brought us a new comfortable pant trend that I predict you're going to want to own (if you don't already).

The trend I'm referring to is pull-on wide-leg trousers that one might compare to pyjama pants or elastic-waist pairs. There are actually plenty of polished options on the market that won't make you appear as though you just rolled out of bed—and Kaia Gerber just wore one of them recently. Gerber paired her black pull-on trousers with a blue knit top and ballet flats. Follow her lead when choosing a pair and wearing them: low on the waist and long and baggy.

Currently, the most coveted pairs of pull-on trousers include H&M's many affordable pairs and Reformation's Olina pants—both of which I own and can vouch for. With that, keep scrolling for outfit inspiration and to shop my pull-on trouser trend picks.
