Proenza SchoulerProenza Schouler debuted a pair of shiny metallic trousers on their fall 2023 runway just last month during NYFW and I haven't quite been the same since. Metallics can easily feel intimidating and yet the down-to-earth styling with a tailored coat and ankle boots was surprisingly approachable and, dare I say, easy.

CoachMetallic pants popped up at Coach this season, too, where they were married to shiny shearling-lined jackets and accessorized with bright-pink accents.

Isabel MarantThe '80s glam that defines Isabel Marant was as present as ever this season. The brand showed a menswear look consisting of slouchy silver jeans and a metallic-thread sweater that I'm praying they produce in a womenswear-friendly size range, too.

Gabriela HearstAnother designer on board is Gabriela Hearst. Her fall collection features a pair of metallic jeans that peek out from underneath a long dress coat. It proved that even just a sliver of shiny fabric is enough to make an impact.

Isabel MarantEven though the fall collections were heavy on the metallics, the theme was already starting to percolate for spring 2023. Here, Isabel Marant's summer-friendly idea involves silver cargo trousers and a delicate strapless top.

SacaiThe runways presented a united front on how to wear the silver jeans trend, aka with classic pieces in neutral tones. Whether it's a blazer, coat, or simple top, styling them with our everyday wardrobe foundations is the way to go.

@_sierramayhewMy colleague Sierra just wore silver jeans with a blue denim jacket, and now I'm officially inspired to do the same.

@jessicaminkoffA fun graphic tee and layers of jewelry is an easy way to bring down the disco-looking jeans into the daytime.

@nlmarilynThis trend is made for a night out. Wear the jeans with a black blazer, bodysuit, and embellished pumps to really let them have their moment.

@lauraaangeloneOf course, if you're feeling especially bold, a full-on metallic-coated Canadian tux is always an option.

@luciacuesta_I wouldn't have thought to wear them with ballet flats and a woven bag, but something about this contrast just works.

@laagam______Amp up the disco energy with a leather jacket.

@anaasaberAfter seeing Machine Gun Kelly's silver suit at the Grammys, I'm suddenly noticing similar outfits everywhere.
And now, the $98 Gap jeans that sparked today's deep-dive.
I'd regret skipping this on-sale Nordstrom pair if I were you.
Despite the foil-like texture, this pair is actually soft and slightly stretchy.
When the denim brand fashion people swear by is making silver jeans, you know the fit is going to be A+.
Leave it to Net-a-Porter to style silver pants in a way that makes them look shockingly easy to wear. Just add a tee and blazer.
Now this slouchy shape is what I'm talking about.
While these aren't silver, this light-pink metallic shade was just too pretty not to include.
A white tank and layers of jewelry is all you need to style them.
Another gorgeous designer pair that, while certainly an investment, looks flawless with wardrobe heroes like black ankle boots.
Skinny jeans that might actually feel on-trend right now.
