7 Bottoms to Wear for Anyone Who’s Tired of Wearing Jeans Every Day
Once upon a time, we religiously wore denim skinny jeans. They're easy to wear and style, and it was a simple way to make it look like we put thought into getting ready for the day. Unfortunately, we just didn't know how to style other bottoms.
Over the years, we've become more adventurous and experimental with our wardrobes. While we can still appreciate a good pair of blue jeans, it doesn't cut it for daily wear. If you're looking to expand your wardrobe, look no further. Here are seven pairs of bottoms you should buy to zhuzh up your closet.
Dickie's Black 874 Straight Fit Work Chino Pants: $29.99
The only difference between Dickie's work pants and denim jeans is their materials. The fabric of your pants can drastically alter your outfit's vibe.
We think Dickie's are extremely versatile. For a more refined look, you can wear them as standard to resemble dress pants, or to be edgier, you can fold the waistband down. Plus, they're equally comfortable to jeans, if not more.

Cider Grey Solid Middle Waist Cargo Joggers: $30
In the past, we opted for jeans over sweatpants because we thought it would make us look more put together, but thanks to places like Cider, you can wear sweatpants and look like there's effort to your outfit. These super stylish joggers feature three cargo pockets and a cinched ankle, which give the item extra dimension and spice.

Zara Linen Blend Straight Pants: $49.90
Linen pants are probably the most underrated bottoms. During the summer, you can find ones that are extremely lightweight, but you can also find thicker pairs, like these from Zara.
In our eyes, linen pants are like dressy sweatpants, so, if you're still not interested in wearing sweatpants over jeans, you can still feel breezy and comfortable with a pair of linen pants.

American Eagle Low-Rise Denim Maxi Skirt: $59.95
Is it the denim material that ropes you into jeans? Try out a denim skirt. It has all the elements of jeans: the zippers, the material, the belt loops and the pockets. Overall, we think denim skirts might even be better than jeans because the fabric isn't constricting your legs.

Princess Polly Snow Slate Parachute Pant: $65
Parachute pants might be the trendiest item of 2023, and we think everyone should own at least one pair. Parachute pants can make an outfit stand out, especially if they're a bright color. But as people who used to wear jeans religiously, we did it to not stand out—and we want you to know it's completely possible to blend in with a neutral pair of parachute pants.

UNIF Pinstripe Kira Pant: $88
We've been seeing pantsuits everywhere, and they might be our favorite trend of this year. This pair from UNIF has the perfect '90s energy, and it is one of the only pair of dress pants we've seen that doesn't look business casual. Really, we're obsessed with the way they styled them to be casual with a simple white tank and platform flip-flops.

And if you really don't want to abandon the look of jeans, these leather pants from Abercrombie are the next best thing. They still have the metal button, belt loops and the sleek silhouette of skinny jeans, and honestly, if you're wearing leather pants, there is no doubt that you will look very put together.
