There's a good chance you'll find this satin pant trend in a chic person's closet. Second, its luxurious silhouette offers countless ways to style it. Good dressers lean towards simple pairings: a classic white T-shirt, a pinstripe button-down, a polo, or an equally chic silk top. Though the styles differ, there seems to be agreement that kitten heels look best. Maybe it has something to do with the flowy pants draping over the barely-there pump. Whatever it is, I know it looks chic. And as of right now, the style set can't get enough.

I have high hopes that this summer pant trend will carry well into fall. Worn with sweaters and knits is a clear way to transition these pants from summer styling to autumn and winter looks. The best part of it all? You can buy into the trend for only $80. Thanks to Nordstrom's in-house brand Open Edit and its newest arrival: Satin Wide Leg Pull On Pants. But before we get into the trousers, let's see how the style set is wearing the trend. Scroll for inspiration and to shop the $80 satin pants.
