Plissé Pants Are the Sweatpants of Spring

March 3, 2021

By now you’re probably experiencing a little sweatpants fatigue. We don’t blame you. While they’re oh so comfortable, we still feel like we’re dressing down on a daily basis. With spring right around the corner, there’s an equally comfy silhouette with loads more style. We’re talking about plissé pants. The crinkled, pleated trousers are effortlessly cool without the constraints of your go-to jeans or slacks. Their relaxed shape makes them a pleasure to wear all day long. Especially the wide-leg varieties. You can rock them around the house as polished loungewear. We highly recommend teaming them with matching plissé tops whenever possible. Or take them for a ride to get any and all essentials. They’re fancy enough to make onlookers admire your sartorial ingenuity. Find your perfect pair of plissé pants below.
