The Celeb-Loved Pants Trend Is Perfect for Back-to-School (or Work) Outfits

A versatile pant is necessary for the transitional time between seasons. For fall, celebs are loving satin pants that can make even the simplest ensemble feel put-together–and might just have you replacing your tight jeans this back-to-campus season. 

The pretty pants trend works just as well for the office, given that the silhouette is structured and tailored-looking. But the roomy wide-leg silhouette keeps things comfortable while still looking presentable enough for the boardroom. So, if you usually wish you had a pair of sweatpants to change into by EOD, a comfy do-it-all satin pant just may be life-changing.  

We’re taking a page out of the celebrity style book, too. Stars like Oprah, Chase Sui Wonders, and Elle Fanning–to name a few–have all recently sported satin wide-leg pants, giving us plenty of fall outfit inspo. 

If you’re already sold on the comfy, transitional trend, consider going super high-fashion with it; stars are using satin pants for the skirt-over-pants trend that’s picking up steam for fall 2026. Lightweight satin pants with an easy elastic waist create a perfect, non-bulky base layer beneath a skirt or dress.
