Jeans, nylon pants, cargo pants, tailored pants and linen pants.

Various pant styles.

Skinny jeans have been out of style for years. But, just in case you need a reminder why they are not the hottest pant on the market anymore, and probably will never be again, we have compiled a list of alternatives to the outdated millennial style that are far more trendy, versatile and chic.

Below are five pants to add to your closet that are all equally timeless. We guarantee you’ll find yourself reaching for them all year-round.

While linen and nylon pants are more casual and comfortable, tailored pants are best for corporate looks, and cargo pants for streetwear needs. And, even if you are an avid jean wearer, we totally understand, there’s nothing more satisfying and cute than a pair of crisp, well-fitting denim. We’re big fans of dad jeans and wide-leg jeans—much more flattering options than their skin-tight jean counterpart.

Shop five pants that will immediately replace all of your skinny jeans and amp up your personal style.
