Six Must-Have Pants Styles That Will Make or Break Your Wardrobe

Pants are the greatest piece of clothing ever invented. They’re comfortable, statement-making, and cool. Plus, they’re oh-so-easy to build an outfit around. While some trends come and go, love for finding the perfect pairs of pants is forever. And so are these six pant styles that will absolutely make your wardrobe. We’re talking repeated wear, throw on any time you want, look-great-feel-great pants.

These pant styles are the top way to easily put together stylish and trendy outfits. They require almost no additional effort, just adding a blouse or top of your choice (although you can go all out accessorizing, pairing the right shoes, and adding layers). If you’re going to be shopping for pants any time soon (and you just might be inspired to after seeing our inspo pics), make sure you look for pants in the following six styles. You can find each pair on Reformation’s website.

Wide Leg Jeans

Wide leg jeans are back and cuter than ever. They were really trendy in the 1970s and since all trends return, they’re groovy again. Or, if you’re from somewhere where country music reigns supreme, you may never have stopped seeing them at all your usual haunts. But now they are officially chic, with brands like Reformation making fitted, accentuating, fresh spins on the look.

Pleated High Waist Trousers

Trousers are the height of sophistication in the pants world, and now that they’re “in” again, they’re not only to be worn the way you might expect (such as with heels and a blazer), but also in any individual-style-showing way. You can go bold with trousers with sneakers, or trousers with beachwear, or trousers with graphic tees. The sky’s the limit. You can even skip the neutral shades and opt for colored or patterned trousers.

Colorful Pants

Speaking of statement pants, you need a pair (or more) or colorful pants. Material doesn’t matter, whether denim, linen, twill, or something else—you can go bright and colorful. A standout pair of pants makes creating an outfit easy, because it commands attention. You can pair it with a simple top and a great pair of shoes, and voila, you’ve got a killer outfit.

Overalls and Jumpsuits

Trendy colorful bottoms aren’t just reserved for pants, but are even better when applied to jumpsuits. Even more so than pants, jumpsuits require minimal effort but are one of the most put-together looks you can create. Simply pair your jumpsuit with your favorite shoes and maybe a statement purse and you’re good to go.

Utility Pants

Utility pants are those relaxed, laid back, throw-on-able bottoms that can carry you through a busy week. One of their best features is that they usually include lots of pockets. Perfect for getting stuff done and looking cool and casual while doing it. Also perfect for doing absolutely nothing and looking even better. Nothing says chic like a laissez-faire attitude about fashion (while looking as effortless for your efforts as possible). But hey, maybe you really do look that good without trying at all. We’re convinced as long as you’re wearing It Girl utility pants.

Printed and Patterned Pants

You can wear the print on your clothes, and not just on a graphic tee. Printed and patterned pants are a staple. They take any outfit from okay to eye-catching. We especially love pairing bold pants with a solid colored top and light jacket to build off of the pants’ color scheme. If you’re keen on expressing yourself through your clothes, statement pants with a print you love are a must-have.
