Kelly Clarkson’s Flattering Paperbag Pants Remind Us So Much of Meghan Markle’s — We’re Eyeing These Pairs from $25

Extra, extra! Read all about Kelly Clarkson’s paper pants!

The flattering pants that the Grammy winner recently wore The Kelly Clarkson Show are the secret of “stronger” summer wardrobe. (Get it?) They accentuated her figure with their high-waist cut, but were still billowy and airy for hot days. Both Meghan Markle and Jennifer Lopez wore similar paper pants in 2023 and 2022, respectively, so it’s clear the style isn’t going anywhere.

Paperbag pants that grab the waist are a good choice in spring and summer. Because they are a bit higher on the body, you can wear them with crop tops and swimwear without revealing too much skin. They can be wide or straight cut, so you can find a fair to your taste.

This pair from Grace Karin is cut to the ankle and is a bit slimmer, which can feel lighter than a super drapey dress or skirt. They’re also “super stretchy,” according to one customer, and “the shape makes them feel feminine without being tight.” A large bow at the waist adds fashion, while pockets add functionality.

Kristin Davis’ green midi dress from last year put this color on our radar for spring and summer, so consider throwing on this pair of palazzo pants to get involved. Color-wise, they’re like Clarkson’s, and the bow belt can be left on or off, according to reviewers, so you can configure them to be even more like hers.

There are also fun tropical holiday prints, plus universal neutrals, available in sizes S to XXL.

Paperbag pants can also be translated into shorter styles. It looks like Jennifer Lawrence would love these pants: Last summer, the actress wore a similar pair, except for the paper detailing around the waist. But this pair has both—and for less than $30.
