If you don’t own a pair of parachute pants yet, then allow us to make a case for why you should add a few pairs to your wardrobe. The loose-fitting bottoms are a lightweight alternative to sweatpants, so you know that they’re extra comfy. And on top of that, you can wear them with anything in your closet. You can dress them up with a crisp button-down blouse or blazer. Or resolve to a more casual look by wearing the cargo-style pants with a sporty crop top or t-shirt.
To add to the list of pros, parachute pants also come in plenty of different styles and silhouettes. Below, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite options from various retailers. You’ll find everything from baggy styles that uphold that cool girl persona to utilitarian picks designed with deep side and back flap pockets. Our list includes options for comfort enthusiasts, trendsetters and everyone in between.
