Denim fatigue, we've all experienced it. Especially on days when you reach for jeans but simply can't muster a clever outfit. Rather than despair, why not look to all those other pants you have hanging in your closet? For a bit of inspiration, we've looked to the street style set for 35 stylish looks whether you're planning an outfit around checked trousers, leather wide legs, or sporty trackpants.
With so many fresh options on the market for Spring like pastels and polished plaid prints, we've assembled ideas for rocking your newest pieces with fashion-girl flare. Creative formulas abound.
Leather Pants With a Paper Bag Waist
A bold-shoulder knit appears at once edgy and elevated when tucked into leather trousers with a paper bag waist.
Lilac Trousers
Spring's biggest color trend is undoubtedly lilac. Tailored trousers in the hue with a slouchy fit are pretty and polished with coordinating separates.
Striped Track Pants
Experiment with pattern play by teaming a plaid jacket and white track pants with multicolored stripes.
Red Silk Trousers
Silky trousers bring a fluid balance to a structured topper with an oversize fit.
Crisp White Trousers
Go graphic by cinching a leather trench over crisp white trousers. A pastel bag is a playful pop.
Cropped Pants With Contrast Stitching
Trendy contrast stitching amplifies the impact of a cropped pair.
Powder Blue Pants
For another take on pastels, pair your palest blue with a slightly more saturated coat and an ivory sweater.
Embossed Wide-Leg Leather Trousers
For a textural ensemble, try high-waist leather trousers with an embossed finish.
Bright Checks
Not all plaids come neutral. Spring for a jaunty hue, and balance with basic black extras.
Cropped White Flares
For a tailored look, a bold-shoulder blazer feels fresh over cropped white flares. Sleek accessories ensure total sophistication.
Red Straight-Leg Trousers
Never underestimate the power of red and blue — a trim dark-wash denim jacket smartens up playful red straight-legs in an instant.
Bold Stripes
A total fashion-girl 'fit, try a white button-down shirt and layered bustier with bold loose-fitting stripes for sartorial impact.
Yellows And Checks
Yellow and checks are two key trends for Spring. Team the two together, or try the cheerful shade head to toe.
Textured Tweed Trousers
Downplay tweed checked trousers with a light-wash denim jacket and a white tee for a casual spin.
Cool Khakis
Take your boot-leg khakis into cool territory with a mint green knit, boxy brown blazer, and square-toe boots. Bonus points for a funky bag.
Patent Wide-Leg Trousers
Vibrant checks á la Clueless are back! Pair yours with patent wide-leg trousers for a megawatt moment.
Slim-Fit Tartan Check
Into a skinny silhouette? Try a tartan check with a white top and ankle-grazing trench. Classic pumps are a timeless finish.
Ruffled High-Waist Trousers
For a skosh of femininity, go for a high-waist, wide-leg trouser with ruffled detailing and a puff-shoulder top.
Floor-Sweeping Lavender
Pastels can be dramatic, like this voluminous style topped with a lavender knit and punchy red bag.
Slim Black Trousers
For a fail-safe ensemble, a black high-waist trouser is timeless with a white button-down and block heels.
Spiffy Trackpants
Give your trackpants a spiffy update by styling with a long-line trench, slim knit, and sleek sneakers.
Cropped Vinyl Pants
Go glossy with a cropped vinyl trouser — a soft pink top and muted trench temper them just right.
Trim Checked Trousers
A simple knit brings a cozy touch to impeccably cut check trousers.
Embellished Red Trousers
Gleaming hardware ups the ante of a red trouser. A wine-colored blouse and navy coat make for an unexpected palette.
Orange Trousers
Orange trousers appear easy in combination with a rust jacket, toffee waistcoat, and tan boots.
Cropped Lavender Pants
Like we said, lavender is the ticket for Spring! Try a cropped trouser with a coordinating knit under a contrasting patchwork jacket. Optic white pumps set off the look just right.
Cropped Leather Flares
Another take on leather, a cropped flare feels fresh with a noir puff-shoulder top. Fuchsia kitten heels are an electrifying finish.
Silky Green Pants
Silky green pants are sleek with a similarly hued trench cinched over top. Again, white shoes for the win.
Ankle-Length Red Pants
A glossy burgundy coat and checked heels are cool contrasts to ankle-grazing red pants.
Racer-Stripe Plaid Pants
Have fun with mixed prints and try a floral knit tucked into high-waist checked trousers with a racer-stripe down the side. Add on a belt bag for total fashion-girl flare.
Playfully Printed Pants
Not sure how to rock those playfully printed pants? How about with a tan top, classic trench, and colorblock boots? A little bit of classic, a little bit of fun.
Cropped Red Wide Legs
For nerdy-chic, a punchy pair of high-water pants is perfect with a black tee, printed blazer, and white sneakers.
Tailored Khakis
Tailored khakis feel forward with a frosty blue blazer and white boots.
Green Wide-leg Trousers
It's easy wearing green! Simply team a wide-leg trouser with a sprightlier knit and brown extras for balance.
Sporty Plaid Trousers
Can't get enough plaid? Go for a sporty high-waist trouser and mix with a cropped denim jacket, red boots, and white structured bag for total freshness.
