I'm Done With Skinnies, So I'm Fixating On These 4 Pant Trends For 2021

by Anna LaPlaca

I don't mean to sounds like a hater here but skinny pants have started to feel outdated to me for a while now. I get that they're a classic and all but for me personally, I think it's finally time I lay them to rest. Let's face it, no matter how you feel about the silhouette, there's no denying that looser pant shapes are the reigning look in the fashion world right now—one look at the latest runway collections points to this. Based on all the new pant trends I'm seeing bubble up right now, I don't plan on regretting this decision any time soon. In fact, the below four styles that our very own namesake Who What Wear line is stocking are only adding more fuel to the fire.

From the long and languid trousers seen all over the spring runways to trending leather pants and Instagram-worthy prints, below I’m sharing the stylish and of-the-moment pant trends fashion girls are all over this season that I’m eager and excited to try. Peruse all of them below and soon enough you'll be saying skinnies, who?
