Emily Ratajkowski Got the Memo to Ditch Skinny Jeans for This Pants Trend

Emily Ratajkowski isn’t the most likely celebrity to wear skinny jeans, but there’s certainly photographic evidence that she does wear them from time to time, along with lots of straight-leg and loose-fit jeans. But lately, she’s been ditching denim in favor of bike shorts, mini dresses, and now, cargo pants. EmRata, whose favorite thing to wear with cargo pants is crop tops (again, photographic evidence), wore a pair of pleated cargo pants with a crop top in NYC this week, signaling her approval of the rising pants trend.

Just last week, my fellow editor Nicole, proclaimed her love for the cargo pants trend, even stating that she’s putting her jeans away for it. She provided plenty of street style and Instagram evidence to back the popularity of the trend up, and Ratajkowski is all the It-girl proof we need that cargo pants are the new wardrobe staple to buy for fall. Scroll to do just that.
