8 Fall Pant Trends I'm Racing to Replace Every Last Pair of Skinny Jeans With
Photo:
@aimeesongYep, I'm still steering people clear of skinny jeans. While this staple once was the blueprint for fall style, in recent years, we've taken a drastic turn toward literally anything else. Some of my friends still love their skinny jeans, and I fully support them and anyone else in that journey, but when it comes to me, the baggier the pants, the better. It's the easiest way for my outfit to feel current.
Although baggy jeans have been trending for some time now, there's something about a skinny flare that still wins me over. So when it comes to your pant collection, don't think you have to wear outrageously large pants to be considered fashionable. The opportunities are endless. Below, I've found the eight pant trends you can replace your skinny jeans with once and for all.
1. Cargo Pants

@smythsistersCargo pants are truly the skinny-jean replacement that we all need to buy into. No matter what your sense of style is, you can find a way to dress up or dress down a good pair of cargo pants.

@shionatTapered-leg denim has been on the radar of every Who What Wear editor lately, and it's because of how dang cool they look. It's the modern twist on baggy denim you need to know about.
3. Metallic Pants

@_sierramayhewMetallic pants jumped into the spotlight last spring and have been on everyone's radar since. If you're bored of wearing jeans, this is an easy way to spice things up instantly.
4. Slim Flare Jeans

@sylviemus_If you're really having a hard time saying goodbye to skinny jeans, you'll be happy to know that slim-flare denim isn't going anywhere. They're so close to being skinnies yet so far, and that's just the way that I like it.
5. Printed Pajama Pants

@sofiarichiegraingePajama pants are now outdoor attire these days, whether in a matching set or on their own. If you're a fan of cool prints, this one is for you. Honestly, it's my dream airport attire.
6. Cargo Jeans

@aimeesongCircling back to the discussion on cargo pants, we have to talk about cargo jeans, a total reference to the Y2K movement. We love anything with pockets, so this one is a no-brainer.
7. Menswear-Inspired Pants

@emilisindlevTailored suiting pants have been taken out of context in all the right ways. They're now going-out pants, weekend pants, and everything-in-between pants, while once they were just for the office. The styling opportunities are endless.

@slipintostyleThe obvious antithesis of skinny jeans is of course baggy jeans. I saved this one for last because even though it's obvious, it's a wardrobe staple at this point. My denim drawers are stuffed with wide-leg jeans that simply aren't going anywhere.
