Leggings have their time and place, but if you’re still wearing them every day (or even several days a week), let this be your sign to officially retire them. I’ve found the new cool mom “it” pant that will have you wondering why you didn’t ditch your leggings outfits sooner.
Say hello to your new bff, the athletic trouser. I stumbled up on these while scrolling Old Navy and was immediately intrigued. They look like a trouser (with an elastic back, thank you), and are made of an athletic fabric. Think: cooling, moisture-wicking fabric that doesn’t cling or dig into your skin. Have a piqued your interest?
They come in several color options, but I was immediately drawn to the deep brown coffee color. For my traditionalists out there, of course there is black along with an olive green (love for fall and winter!), and a classic light tan. Sizing-wise, I suggest sizing down. I wear an XS in these!
The Cool Mom “It” Pant Outfits
The great thing about these pants is that they can easily read dressier or more casual, depending on how you style them! They’re an easy staple for everyday mom outfits. But if you want a versatile pant to also wear in a business setting, these can do it all. And this first look proves it!
If you’re a sweatshirt kinda mom (I mean, aren’t we all at times?!), you can still rock your sweatshirts with these pants! Opt for a more fitted, classic fit version and pair it with sneakers!

But look how seamlessly these pants pair with something a little more elevated like a classic sweater! You could still go with a sneaker for a more casual version, but I chose to dress it up with a belt and flats.

This is the version you’ll most likely see me in on the regular because I have an addiction to this oversized denim jacket. Something about fit makes me feel like an effortless cool mom.

For winter, I plan on keeping this formula alive by adding another layer! Instead of just the basic tee and denim jacket, I added a sweatshirt to this version! Cozy, comfortable mom style personified.

Another one of my go-to outfit combinations is layering a tee and a buttoned cardigan sweater! Again I added a belt with this outfit. It may sound simple, but a belt does have a way of making an outfit look slightly dressier and more put-together.

For my girls who are over the denim jacket life, the new jacket in town is the cropped trench. Treat it the same way, as an outfit topper, regardless of the weather for a chic look. I just snagged this one from Amazon and I’m loving the fit and how it looks designer-inspired!
