10 Perfect Pairs Of Non-Denim Pants, According To TZR Editors

"These pants feel like a second skin as soon as you slip them on. They're breathable, colorful, and elegant. I wear mine with crop tops and white tanks for summer. As for shoes, the pants work well with sandals or sneakers." — Marina Liao, senior fashion news editor

"Throwing on a pair of wildly-printed Julia Heuer pants is pure joy personified. Lately, I've been wearing mine with a simple boxy T-shirt and Birks for a comfortable and stylish summer outfit." — Hannah Baxter, deputy beauty editor

"Like many embracing the Y2K wave, I'm on a cargo pants kick. My silhouette choice is a baggy, low-slung cut that can be dressed up or down with a shoe change. (I've seen the style at a formal dinner with strappy sandals and can't wait to replicate the look myself)." — Angela Melero, executive editor

"I probably have more pants in my closet than anything else. When I'm not in the mood to wear denim (which is all of summer!), my favorite silhouette and fabric is a high-waisted wide leg style made of cotton with a chunky flat sandal." — Kathy Lee, editor-in-chief, TZR

“A pair of silk trousers will always feel effortlessly chic — throw on a fitted tank or a cropped tee with them and you have a whole look. This season, I'm upping the ante by choosing a pair in a beautiful, vibrant green hue.” — Rebecca Iloulian, director, newsletter revenue and marketing

“I love the reliably classic look of black front-pleat trousers — they're my go-to bottoms for an effortless, minimal-energy-required look that still feels polished. Come fall, I'll be wearing this pair with a distressed knit top and leather loafers.” — Emma Childs, fashion writer, TZR

“These breezy pants are a classic, tailored wide-leg but in an unexpected neutral. I can dress them up with a luxe knit top and pointy-toe boots or wear them with my go-to black t-shirt and chunky sneakers.” — Copelyn Bengel, associate fashion market editor, TZR

“Rachel Comey has always been a brand that just works for me, regardless of my age, size, or which way my style is shifting. These super soft yet structured trousers are no exception. I love how they are more comfy than jeans but look about 100x cooler.” — Alison Syrett, deputy fashion editor, TZR

“For days when I’m hoping to channel my inner Hailey Bieber, I reach for these parachute pants. I love their slouchy fit and subtle cargo-esque pockets throughout. I typically style them with a simple tank top or a bathing suit top depending on the occasion.” — Jordan Goldberg, fashion writer, TZR

“I’m a sucker for leather pants. Especially this cropped pair (on sale!) from Ami Alexandre Mattiussi. They’re the perfect pant to transition from summer to fall — but for now, I’m pairing them with a white tank à la Bella Hadid.” — Meguire Hennes, editorial content strategy intern, BDG
