Reese Witherspoon and Pamela Anderson Are at the Front of a Fashion Trend We Think You’re About to See Everywhere

Celebrities all seem to be reaching for the same trendy type of pants as we transition back out of dress weather.

In the first couple weeks of August, we’ve seen stars, including Reese Witherspoon, Pamela Anderson, and Joanna Gaines, wearing front-seam pants — and we have a feeling that’s just the beginning of a fall fashion trend. Jennifer Lawrence wore a cherry red pair earlier this summer, too. And, even though they aren’t technically front-seam pants, the wide-leg jeans Katie Holmes recently turned our heads in look very similar. 

Whether you get them baggy or tight-fitting, high-waisted or low-rise, pants with this detail stand out in a crowd of plain bottoms. We looked around for front-seam pants you can buy now to stay ahead of the trend. Add a pair or two to your fall wardrobe and let the compliments roll in.

Abercrombie & Fitch High-Rise Flare Pant

These high-rise pants will be the envy of all your office besties with their subtle flaring past the knee. They look like classic work slacks with a couple trendy twists, and they come in three colors. If you buy two pairs right now, you can get 15 percent off at checkout. 

Spanx Carefree Crepe Trouser

The fit here is looser throughout and the design resembles the high-waisted, tailored menswear look that was the staple of Katharine Hepburn’s wardrobe. They have the comfort-first touches you’d expect from Spanx like elastic hidden at the back of the waistband and a satin lining. 

“These are so lightweight and breathable, perfect for the heat and humidity, but look so professional,” wrote one reviewer. There’s also a matching vest if you buy the pants in tahini.

The Drop Frida Relaxed-Fit Jeans

We’ve found a lot of great clothes from Amazon’s The Drop line, and these relaxed-fit jeans that look a lot like the ones we saw Holmes wearing are just the latest. They’re somewhat loose at the top but really flare at the legs, creating an A-line look that the long seams only amplify. So many shoppers mention getting compliments every time they wear these jeans. 

“They are so soft and mold to your body,” wrote one reviewer. “The length is perfect and the fit is amazing.”
