Gone are the days of suffering in skinny pants for spring and summer: Celebrities are making the case for why the only bottom you need this season is a pair of wide-leg pants.
Over the past month, we’ve spotted stars like Martha Stewart, Nicole Kidman and Emily Blunt rocking the windbreaker trend while doing everything from catching a flight to walking the red carpet — and they’re not the only ones. Taylor Swift, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lawrence are also known to reach for pants, especially when dressing for demanding seasonal transitions.
Whether dressed up with a blouse and heels or paired with sneakers and a tee, wide-leg pants are one of the few pant cuts that are airy enough to keep you comfortable in warm weather while still looking incredibly polished. Plus, their A-line silhouette makes them flowy without looking baggy, so you can wear them to work, dinner with friends or while running errands.
We’ve rounded up pants inspired by Stewart, Kidman, and Blunt’s looks at Amazon, Gap, Abercrombie, and more—and prices start at just $26.

Check out Kidman’s travel outfit by grabbing these gray pants from the Gap. While the actress styled her bottoms with sneakers and a button-up as she caught a flight in Sydney, Australia, they would look just as great paired with a blouse or bodysuit. Customers appreciate that they’re the “perfect length” to wear with heels, flats, and sneakers, and one reviewer said their weight makes them “versatile enough to wear year-round.”
“These pants are the perfect item to take you from day to night,” wrote one reviewer. “The fabric is comfortable but always looks polished and has almost zero wrinkle factor.”
