Jeans rack up a lot of miles on the denim odometer at this time of the year. Come fall and winter, the standard outfit combination of a sweater, jeans, boots, and a coat is on heavy rotation. Not that there is anything wrong with that look per se (it always works), but there is certainly something liberating about changing up the regular fashion programming with some fresh winter trends—particularly pant trends.
If you're looking to give your jeans a well-deserved rest and invite some new pant options into the mix, then keep scrolling below as I share some of the biggest fall/winter 2024 pant trends celebs and fashion people have been wearing this season. From comfy corduroy to silk pants, these styles are easy to dress up or down and will work for a whole host of occasions.
Corduroy
Textured, plush corduroy pants are practically made for the fall/winter season, and this year, we're seeing the style everywhere in a rich color palette of autumnal brown, olive green, and navy. The key is to opt for a loose, relaxed silhouette similar to your trending baggy jeans. Style them with your everyday basics—such as a relaxed sweater or oversize tee.

Dark Brown
Chocolate brown is everywhere this season, and it's clear that the fashion set and celebs have been embracing the rich-looking color trend. Opt for a sleek, relaxed wide-leg style like Irina Shayk, and style the rest of your look with similar tonal hues of rich brown and burgundy.

Plaid Pants
On a recent outing in New York, Katie Holmes showed us that a pair of statement plaid pants is exactly what our fall wardrobe needs. Style one with a sweater and boots and you're good to go.

Silk Pants
Just take one look at Instagram, and you'll see fashion people around the globe are all about silky satin pants this season. We recently spotted Kaia Gerber and Holmes sporting them too. What's not to love? They look luxurious and will elevate your outfit in an instant. Style them with a sumptuous sweater and chic ballet flats for an easy and elegant fall look.

Wide-Leg Tailored Trousers
Wide-leg tailored trousers have become a staple in our closets and always add a smart and polished touch to any look. Selena Gomez shows us that a sleek black pair should not be underestimated. It's an incredibly chic option when paired with a belt, a blazer, and heels for an evening out. Whether you dress it up or down, it's one of the most versatile and elegant styles you can buy.
On Selena Gomez: Saint Laurent Silk Satin Pants ($2490), Jacket in Grain de Poudre ($3150), Oval Buckle Thin Belt ($410), and Celia Mini Tote ($1890); Magda Butrym Rose Appliqué Top ($1140); APM Monaco Météorites Rose Gold Drop Earrings ($266)

Velvet Pants
Plush, luxurious, and festive—there's no better pant trend to wear in winter than velvet. Saoirse Ronan recently proved that they're not just reserved for parties either. She styled a gorgeous navy pair with a crisp blue button-down, showing us just how versatile they can be for day or night. Now's the perfect time to start sporting a pair. Opt for deep jewel tones to lean into the rich look.
On Saoirse Ronan: Ferragamo shirt, pants, and Eva Pumps ($980)
Shop the trend:
Leopard Print
We've seen leopard print take over everything from the fall/winter 2024 runways to our social media feeds, and one of the coolest ways to wear the trends is with a pair of chic pants. Go for a relaxed straight-leg style like Sienna Miller recently wore, or try a baggy pair in lieu of your jeans. Either way, you'll look altogether on-trend for the season.
