In my time as a fashion editor, I've come to rely on a few styling tricks to help make the winter-to-spring transition a little easier on my wardrobe. Similar to how I swap my raincoat for a relaxed quilted jacket and exchange my boots for colorful sneakers, each spring, I reintroduce a pair of cream pants back into my rotation as an easy way to instantly brighten up some of my wardrobe staples.
Though similar to the white pants that often come to the fore in summer, I find the cream pant trend slightly more relaxed and far more versatile. Yes, bright-white shades work perfectly with other statement tones such as cobalt, fuchsia, and letter-box red, but cream pants wear so well with the in-between shades that dominate most wardrobes.
Offering a fresh alternative to denim, these lightweight pants move beautifully as you walk, creating a breezy and relaxed silhouette. They wear well with the deep navy, dark gray, and rich burgundy colors that are pillars in my wardrobe, adding lightness and dimension to a darker palette. When summer comes around, I love to wear them to anchor my looks and style them with light peach, butter yellow, and earthy colors—there really isn't anything they don't go with.
Luckily for me, plenty of luxury and affordable brands have caught on to the enduring appeal of the cream trouser trend for spring 2024. Often designed in wide-leg cuts, there are pairs in so many of my favorite stores right now. Read on to discover the cream pants we're shopping this season.
