5 "Soft" Trends Everyone's Wearing Instead of Jeans

Something we have yet to discuss is "soft" pants versus "hard" pants. The reason for no prior discussion can most likely be chalked up to the fact that up until now, we never really considered certain pants "hard." To get you up to speed, now that we've been living in all things soft, stretchy, and oversize, jeans seem really, well, hard. The rigid nature of the denim combined with constricting waistlines now seems scary, uncomfortable, and, to be honest, a little unnecessary. It reminds me of that meme that's been floating around that says, "People who are quarantining in jeans: What are you trying to prove?" 

No shame if jeans have been your go-to pant style since day one of quarantine, but if you're anything like me, your denim drawer has not been touched in over three months, but the five comfortable pant trends ahead have. It came as no surprise that the fashion set adapted quickly to this new at-home lifestyle. From new ways to capture content to approachable yet fresh ways to look good at home, they pretty much hit the nail on the head, and today, we're here to praise them for all the "soft" pant trends they brought into the limelight. Fear not: This selection is not limited to leggings and joggers. Instead, it features new and exciting styles that will feel just right among the rest of your cozy new aesthetic. 

Ahead, discover the five comfortable pant trends we've been seeing all over Instagram, and shop the best versions from each category. 

If you're looking for something that feels like underwear but is socially acceptable to wear outside, then knit shorts are your best bet. These cozy bottoms are the perfect trend to slip into for a casual day of lounging at home or a stylish socially distanced hangout. 
Speaking of underwear, the latest trend to spike on social media has been women wearing men's briefs—or at least women's briefs that look like men's briefs. Between the roomy fit and the oddly cool aesthetic this underwear brings, the fashion crowd has made it clear that this "soft" trend is a thing. 
Bike shorts are definitely becoming more and more popular by the minute. And if quarantine has taught us anything about personal style, it's that bike shorts can be integrated into way more looks than we originally thought they could. Since your at-home style might need some jazzing up by now, I suggest trying out bike shorts in a loud color. Come on—live a little. 
Surprised to see sweatpants in this roundup? Hardly. But to echo all the aforementioned points above, this new laid-back lifestyle comes with a price and that price is learning to love "soft" trends of all kinds. 
Last but not least, we have athletic shorts. From sweatshorts to nylon running shorts, these sporty bottoms have quickly become the go-to for fashion girls, even when exercise is not on the agenda.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
