From Paris to Amsterdam: The Incredibly Comfortable Yet Controversial Pant Trend Taking Over

If your Instagram feed is anything like mine, you may have noticed a particular pant trend taking over the globe, one that now seems to be reaching a stylish crescendo. This season, it's all about pajama pants, especially of the striped variety. While some may find the comfortable pant style pretty controversial, it didn't take much convincing on my end due to my nostalgic love for them that dates back to my middle school years. With the wild resurgence happening, it appears I am not alone.
If you're up for trying out the trend, there are plenty of pajama-pant outfit ideas to get you inspired. For the most part, they are pretty easy to pull off with a formula emerging that includes effortless basics like blazers, basic tees, and ballet flats. In fact, I rounded up eight looks from style muses, spanning from Paris to Amsterdam, that prove just how chic and cool pajama pants can truly be. Keep scrolling to peruse and shop each chic pajama-pant outfit idea.
