No need to worry about the skinny or baggy jean debate because those baby blue denim pieces are being eclipsed by ultra-soft pull-on pants this fall. I know silk or satin aren’t exactly the first fabric that comes to mind when you think of cold-weather essentials, but trust me. The juxtaposition when paired with a chunky knit sweater just makes so much sense. If you’re looking for a way to make your cardigans and crewneck knits feel brand new again, a flowy pair of satin trousers is your chic solution.

I have a splurge-worthy pair from Kallmeyer that makes days at the airport look a bit more polished without sacrificing any comfort. In fact, I’d argue that the cool silk fabric feels even more heavenly on my legs than cotton. In addition to wearing them with my knits, I often wear mine with a button-down shirt for a sophisticated touch. It’s truly a versatile wardrobe hero I turn to over and over again.

With the holidays on the horizon, the fancy-looking fabric could do double duty in your closet too, taking you from everyday fabulousness to any party on the calendar. Just swap out your go-to sneakers for a pair of heels and your cozy knits for a frilly blouse, and voilà. You’ve got a pair of pants that works for day and night. That matters because nobody wants to add more stuff to their closets, especially if it’s not something you can wear over and over again.

Start your search for the perfect pair of silk or satin pants below. You’ll find everything you need to master the look, from Reformation’s viral takes to Donni’s investment-worthy creations.
