Dakota Johnson Swapped Jeans for the Breezy Pants Celebrities Resurrect as Soon as Warm Weather Hits

While it may not be socially acceptable to wear your favorite pajama pants in public (…yet), Dakota Johnson just gave reason to the next best thing.

The actress spent the day shopping in Malibu on Monday wearing the epitome of comfy and cute street style: an oversized button-up cardigan, Birkenstock sandals and, most importantly, cropped flared pants. While airy bottoms aren’t necessarily new — we’ve seen stars like Kate Hudson and Sandra Bullock rock them like clockwork every year — the floral print on Johnson’s pair offers an eye-catching wardrobe twist that’s perfect for spring.

Whether paired with a sweater like Johnson’s or dressed up with a blouse and sandals, flared pants are a breezy alternative to jeans that don’t sacrifice style. The best part? While you can feel like you’re wearing pajamas, palazzo pants still look polished enough for dinner with friends, a day at the office, and everything in between.

Below, we’ve rounded up floral flare pants inspired by Johnson’s look from Amazon, Target, Anthropologie, and more, with prices starting at just $20.
