I know, I know, you might be wondering when the big pants reign will end, as tighter silhouettes like capris and cigarette pants, and of course, skinny jeans, have risen in popularity this year. My guess: never. The billowing, easy shape continues to captivate every fashion person, including one of the most stylish celebrities, Tracee Ellis Ross. She was just spotted in Los Angeles wearing a head-to-toe Willy Chavarria ensemble: an oversize striped button-down, a striped tie, and black pleated pants paired with loafers.
Skinny jeans and pants have made a surprise comeback this year, but roomier silhouettes have never been more popular, with various iterations of the trend coming out of the woodwork each season (with genie pants being the latest). Ross is no stranger to wide-leg pants, as she’s been seen on and off the red carpet in them throughout the last few seasons. This might be due to her and other fashion people’s affinity for menswear, namely, brands like Hugo Boss, Saint Laurent, and Louis Vuitton, which continue to include big pants in their collections.
I, for one, believe Ellis Ross made a strong case for sticking with the big pants agenda. If you do too, keep scrolling to re-create her look and shop more big pants to swap tight ones for.
