The search for casual pants that aren’t jeans is becoming easier and easier, thanks to labels like Rag & Bone. A few weeks ago, we fell in love with the brand’s Miramar trousers when Paulina Porizkova posted a picture of the hybrid pants. At first glance, they look a lot like a trendy pair of baggy jeans, but they’re actually wide-leg sweatpants with a denim-like print. It’s pure fashion alchemy.
Jeans are often lauded for being a comfortable wardrobe hero. But-let’s be honest-that stiff, rigid fabric doesn’t compare to the lush touch of cashmere joggers or, say, gauzy linen trousers. Long gone are the days when we had to choose between comfort or style. Several brands have found ways to cleverly combine the effortlessly cool look of denim with cozy, soft materials.
A few labels getting in on the blue-magic action include Barrie, which created a luxe cashmere version that looks a lot like real jeans, and Max Mara Leisure, which expertly crafted a pair of summer-ready, linen-blend trousers that are smooth to the touch. If you’re looking for casual pants that aren’t jeans technically, we’ve gathered our favorite options for you below.
