From cult accessories to viral clothing (like this polka-dot dress from Zara), there always seem to be items that stylish women flock to. In the pants department, a current style du jour is the slit-hem pant, which, to the delight of many, is basically a glorified legging.
Designer iterations from The Row and Wardrobe.NYC are favourites among fashion girls like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Leandra Medine, Erika Boldrin, and Christine Centenera (a cofounder of Wardrobe.NYC). But when scrolling through the new-arrivals section of Kohl's this week, we scouted two affordable pairs of slit-hem pants from Nine West and the brand-new Elizabeth and James collection.
From a seamed, ankle-grazing silhouette to high-waisted skinny pants, these two styles are right on the nose when it comes to the slit-pant look fashion girls love. And while they certainly resemble leggings, they come with a smarter vibe that you can totally rock at the office, for a date, out to dinner, or for a holiday party. Basically, they're fancy leggings you can dress up or down depending on your mood. Can you say "yes, please!"?
From black to brown and navy, ahead, shop affordable slit-hem pants from Nine West and Elizabeth and James at Kohl's. Then, for all the styling ideas, keep scrolling to see how fashion girls are styling their slit-hem pants for Fall and Winter.
