Elizabeth Olsen Wore the Controversial Pant Trend That's the Opposite of Jeans
The pursuit of comfortable pants that are also cool can oftentimes be fruitless. With many pairs, you can have one but not the other, so when a pant trend that's also comfortable comes to be, I pay attention—especially as I'm always on the hunt for an alternative to jeans. Clearly, so is Elizabeth Olsen. That trend is pajama pants (particularly blue striped ones), which she just wore while out running errands in L.A.
It's worth noting that boxer shorts were a trend last summer and are poised to return this year alongside pajama pants. The key to making loose cotton drawstring pants not look like you simply left the house in your pajamas is to pair them with structured pieces and shoes that don't resemble bedtime slippers. But let's get back to Olsen, who opted for a pair of blue-and-white striped pajama-like pants paired with sneakers. She looks chic and polished.
Keep scrolling to see the cool, casual look on Olsen and a few influencers who love the trend and, of course, shop pajama-style pants for yourself.
