When it comes to fall wardrobe staples, nothing is as effortlessly chic as the perfect pair of trousers. Whether you pair yours with a sleek blazer for a day at work or a casual tee for a weekend outing, they'll look cool AF. The below wide-leg trousers under $100 prove that power pants don't have to be stuffy or ridiculously expensive, either, seeing as they span from monochromatic to printed and from silky to velvet. There's a style for literally every occasion no matter how corporate or casual, so choose a few options that catch your eye and add them to your closet stat.
While breezy dresses can constitute work and play attire all spring and summer long, that shifts as soon as fall truly hits. That's where the convenience of the trouser comes in. Wide-leg trousers, specifically, are not only incredibly roomy and comfy, but they'll also keep you super cozy on even the chilliest of days. What's more, their dramatic shape will automatically amp up any look and make it feel super styled out and modern — even when paired with ratty old Vans, the pant style looks ace (take it from my firsthand experience). Below, 20 options that prove my point.
