While jeans are certainly one of those tried-and-true pieces, we totally understand the desire to switch it up from time to time. So if you're looking for an alternative to denim, what's coming your way might really pique your interest. That's right. We're here to talk about a nice alternative—slouchy pants. While looser pants have been around for a while, the silhouette has been a front-runner this season, given that relaxed fashion is especially noteworthy. As a result, there are quite a few trend-forward styles out there that could be considered modern staples.
To showcase some of the best slouchy pants that can bring ease to a look, we're highlighting a few top-notch ensembles below with a variety of different silhouettes. You'll also find shopping inspiration featuring some of the best relaxed pants out there in the market, including everything from ribbed cuts to polished trousers.
Loose Trousers
This ensemble is chic yet incredibly easy with the tank, high-waisted loose trousers, and sneakers.
Ribbed Pants
Ribbed pants are quite trend forward in a relaxed silhouette. Add your favorite tee or sweatshirt and you're set.
Cargo Pants
Cargo pants are becoming a go-to for many fashion people this season. While you could dress up the silhouette (like with this ensemble), that perfect pair works with simple basics, too.
Pleated Trousers
A pair of wider-leg trousers (particularly with pleats) feels incredibly modern and forward with other tailoring pieces.
