If You Trust Anne Hathaway and Sydney Sweeney, Buy This Anti–Skinny Pants Trend

In all honesty, I've been anticipating a shift of the pendulum away from baggy pants and jeans lately. It's been the reigning pant trend for quite some time now, and a shift seems inevitable, but Anne Hathaway and Sydney Sweeney just pretty much solidified that the time has not come for baggy pants to fall from favor. In fact, their chosen pants proved quite the opposite.

Both actresses have been in NYC promoting their latest projects this week and both were photographed wearing very wide-leg pants. The word "baggy" doesn't even do these pants justice. Hathaway wore a pair of white wide-leg pants with a purple cardigan while Sweeney wore ultra-wide-leg jeans with a black vest and floor-length coat. The shoes they wore hardly matter because you can barely see them.

One theory I have is that pants will get as big as possible before we revert back to skinny pants (or, big pants just might be here to stay). Time will tell. In the meantime, keep scrolling to shop ultra-wide-leg pants for yourself.
