No offense to my beloved denim, but I haven’t found myself reaching for them much recently. Maybe it’s the inspiration of a new year, but I’ve been gravitating toward polished styles like tailored trousers and satin pants. These silhouettes make me feel much more put-together than jeans do, so I plan to continue leaning into them throughout 2026. That’s not to say that I won’t wear jeans at all. It’s just that I’ll be prioritizing non-denim pants more this year.

I’ve been on the hunt for elevated pant options to add to my rotation and saved 34 pairs that feel both polished and modern. Think low-rise trousers, thick-waistband details, suede silhouettes, flared suit pants, and even some zebra print for a Khaite-inspired moment. Each feels a bit more intentional than jeans without requiring much more effort, which is what we’re all probably aiming for this year. Ready to see the list? Keep scrolling for the non-denim pant trends I’m eyeing for 2026.
