Forget Jeans—This Elegant Pant Trend Will Upgrade Your Favorite Hoodie

I'm a denim person through and through. My motto: When in doubt, throw on a pair of jeans. Maybe it's the Californian in me, but I genuinely don't even think about wearing other styles of pants. This season, however, I feel like expanding my horizons a bit. I came across the below image of Irina Shayk wearing satin wide-leg trousers, and it got my wheels spinning.
Shayk's satin pants are so much more luxurious than jeans but are just as comfortable (if not more!). I particularly love how the elegant satin material instantly elevates her basic black hoodie. Going into the holiday party season, I'm definitely motivated to get my hands on a similar pair of pants now. Thank you for the inspiration, Irina!

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
