For months now, I’ve seen Gap’s Easy Pants all over TikTok. Made from 100% cotton, the $90 mid-rise poplin style is just one example of the relaxed pants I keep seeing everywhere lately. It’s the kind of wardrobe staple that goes with everything and feels easy to wear. Whether you’re working from home or running errands, they’re comfortable and straightforward enough to just throw on and wear on repeat.
I actually found my ideal pair by accident. After buying a pajama set from Cou Cou, I realized the matching bottoms (fittingly called The Pant) were my ideal summer pants: lightweight, airy, and effortless.
Gap has two others going viral as well: the Double-Knee Barrel Pants, which associate fashion editor Nikki Chwatt wrote about as an alternative to Leset’s popular Kyoto Pants, and the Poplin Easy Barrel Pants. The Deiji Studios Ease Pants and Enza Costa Everywhere Pants are popular options too. Beyond cotton trousers, silk taffeta, like the editor-favorite Techno Taffeta Barrel Pants from Chan Luu, and sporty nylon pants from Made Some Sportswear have been trending. Then there are Donni’s cropped silk track pants. Keep scrolling to shop these and more relaxed pants below.
