If you only buy one pair of pants this season, a design with a paper-bag waist will make you feel like a street-style star. The trendy detail will instantly give your outfits a dramatic flair, since the show-stopping waistline resembles the ruffled look of a cinched paper bag (hence, the name). The best part about paper-bag-waist pants: The frilly silhouette is usually followed up with roomy pant legs that are extremely comfortable. So you'll get a glamorous high-waist effect without feeling constricted.

Stars like Kendall Jenner and Lupita Nyong'o are already on board. Jenner made a bold statement with bright yellow separates, while Nyong'o went with a more muted palette of red, black, and white. But both ladies opted for streamlined tops, which is crucial for balancing out the voluminous trousers.
