We’re forecasting a trend on the horizon: pleated pants.
They are the perfect addition to your workwear or daily wardrobe. Tailored separates with pleats, ranging from a wide-leg perfectly drapey pant to a more straight leg style, are an easy way to look like you put a little more effort into your look, while still feeling totally comfortable.
Allow our top picks, from top-rated brands like Quince, Amazon, and Old Navy, to speak for themselves. There are palazzo-style pants that move with you, menswear-inspired pieces, and more that we’re predicting every cool girl in your office will be styling very soon.
Get in on the trend ASAP, and shop our favorite pleated pants styles, below.
Quince Stretch Crepe Pleated Wide Leg Pants
Quince is one of our fave brands around here, and these wide leg pants make it easy to see why. They’re made of a comfortable poly-spandex blend (which is recycled, btw) that will feel easy and breezy all day long.
A New Day Signature Crepe Essential Trouser
You can get in on the pleated pants trend for under $30 with these straight leg pants from Target, available in seven colors. They’re made of a flowy crepe that will elevate even your most casual looks, and have a comfortable high rise fit. And we love that these are available in short, regular, and tall!
Shoppers Say: “I have the green, black, and brown pair and absolutely love them, they fit perfectly and are so comfortable.”
PRETTYGARDEN Wide Leg Trousers
These breathable palazzo pants will be your new go-to for putting together a polished work look. They have deep front pleats that add flattering dimension, and hit you at just the right place.
BY DESIGN Marcia Wide Leg Pants
Eye-catching pleats on these wide leg pants work so well to flatter and elongate your legs. Choose from five classic colors: black, white, beige, navy, and olive green.
Old Navy High-Waisted Billie Straight Ankle Trouser
These trousers are a personal favorite of mine for work and everyday wear. They have a comfortable elastic-drawstring waist, and roomy pockets. Choose from three fits (petite, regular, tall) and nine colors.
Shoppers Say: “These pants are super comfy and they look great to wear to work. Stylish and easy to wear. Can dress up or down. I want them in all the colors!”
Everlane The Draper Pleated Pant
Striking the perfect blend of looking put-together yet effortless is easy with these Everlane pants. They’re buttery soft, but look oh-so luxe. Choose from two lengths and three colors.
Gap 365 High Rise Pleated Trousers
You simply can’t go wrong with a pair of Gap trousers. These are a soft-structured essential with a drapey feel, a high-waist, and perfectly placed front slant pockets.
Open Edit The Curator Trousers
Crepe is such a great material, because it is intentionally crimped and crinkled, so you don’t have to worry about steaming or ironing these pants before an early work day. Plus, select colors are deeply discounted from 45-60% off!
