Joggers
This laid-back non-denmin pant is the one to wear when you want to give off an effortless street style vibe. Pair a silky, fluid version with a simple tee, blazer, and heels for the office, or try a pair with a suede jacket and Chelsea boots for the weekend. Really want to play up the athleisure angle? Add sneakers and a jean jacket to accentuate their sporty style.
“I love a good jogger because you can style it so many different ways,” said Wantable Stylist, Marisa S. “A classic black or grey can be dressed up or down for work for going around town.”

“Joggers are such a fun way to stay comfy and cozy while still looking fabulous. My current favorite is the Jacey Jogger from Thread & Supply,” said Wantable Junior Stylist, Teneille C. “A lot of people automatically think ‘sweatpants’ when they see joggers, however, I wear mine with a henley top, a jacket or cardigan layered over, utility boots or high top sneakers to elevate the look of the jogger!”

Whether you choose a pair with subtle seaming or a full-on faux-leather style, create a workplace-friendly look with a crisp button-down shirt, tailored blazer, and pumps. Prefer to wear them for a night out? Just toss on a silky blouse and add statement jewelry.

Wide-Leg Pants
If your goal is to make a major statement, look ultra modern, and find a pant that works just as well on-duty as it does off, then the wide-leg pant is the one you’ve been dreaming of. Dress them up with a ruffle-sleeve blouse and open-toe mules, or keep it casual with a cozy sweater and pointy-toe flats. Hint: Choose a high-waist pair to create the most flattering silhouette possible.

The 90s called, and flare pants are like totally all the rage again. They’re the perfect non-denim pants with their confident edge and nostalgic feel. The key to pulling off a fabulous flare fit is to balance them on top with a slim or fitted tee or crop tank.

21. Vervet High Rise Flare in Black
“My new favorite style is a fun flare jean.” said Wantable Junior Stylist, Grace B. “I think it’s a simple way to add a boho-edge to outfits and makes for a more interesting staple than a basic skinny.”
Leggings
Not just for yoga class, leggings are pretty much the poster child for non-denim pants. These extra-slimming bottoms are perfect for pairing with oversized sweaters, lots of layers, and pretty tunics, too. Slip on ballet flats to keep the look feminine, or layer them under your favorite knee-high boots for a classic fall style.
Two things to remember: choose a style with trouser-inspired seams if you want to wear them at the office, and longer tops work best with this super-fitted pant.
