Maybe it’s just me, but in the 2010s, people wore a lot of denim and leggings, and there wasn’t that much else that was “in” to choose from. Well, things have certainly changed. Over the past several years, there’s been much variety in the pants department, and celebrities are a great representation of that—and I’m not just talking about the sweatpants craze that the pandemic era brought us. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Katie Holmes regularly wear baggy pleated trousers, and pull-on pants of every material are a favorite. That’s just a taste of the casual-leaning pant trends beloved by celebs and everyone else in 2024.
Although celebrities still wear leggings, of course, there are five specific trends I’m seeing far more often as of late—all of which are just as comfortable. So if you’re in the market for some new pants that are a departure from the usual suspects, keep scrolling to shop the options celebs are endorsing.
Baggy Low-Rise Trousers
Baggy low-rise trousers—especially with pleats for added polish—continue to be the pant trends all the cool girls (J.Lo included) are wearing. The baggier the better.
