The Fashion Girl’s Guide To Making Lazy Pants Look Fancy

'Tis the season of glitzy dresses.

Trousers in all forms (wide-leg, stick-straight, or cropped) are reigning supreme and can easily act as an alternative to the stale seasonal shifts. To give you some inspo on how to style, check out five of the best fancy-pants catwalk moments below and shop each look, too. Bottoms up!
