Compared to other wardrobe staples, pants are just kind of boring. Unlike dresses, tops, shoes (and so on), there's only so much that you can do with them, so trouser trends tend to stick around for a while. And if you asked Kendall Jenner, I think she'd say that boring, timeless pants are the best, as that's what she often wears—and what she just wore in Paris.
While leaving a photo shoot this week in Paris's poshest arrondissement (the 1st, home of Place Vendôme and the Ritz Paris, the Louvre, and Tuileries Gardens), Jenner stuck to her signature sophisticated style, pairing a camel sweater over a white tee with brown loafers and the pant style I'm writing this entire story about: gray straight-leg trousers. The resulting look is all very '90s model-off-duty, and I'm suddenly inspired to find myself a pair of gray straight-leg trousers to wear with my loafers and such.
As someone who owns more black pants than I could ever need, I will say that I wear them a lot less during the spring and summer. Gray pants feel fresher and more seasonally appropriate, and go with everything black pants do. They complement neutrals, pastels, and bright colors, so I think it's safe to say that they'll get plenty of wear. So if Jenner has inspired you as well, keep scrolling to shop some chic gray trousers I found to wear this spring and beyond.
