From scrunchies to oversized blazers to velvet dresses, there are so many trends from the '80s that have made a return in recent years, but there's one flattering and comfy style that's particularly sweeping Hollywood as of late: pleated pants.
In a recent segment of The Drew Barrymore Show, host Drew Barrymore appeared alongside Property Brothers stars Drew and Jonathan Scott while wearing brown pleated trousers with a matching oversized blazer. She paired the pantsuit with a silky blouse that featured an extra-long necktie.
Not only are pleated trousers so elegant for work, happy hours, or other nice events, but they're also a much comfier option than jeans thanks to their looser silhouette and breathability. Shop pleated trousers below from Amazon and Nordstrom for as little as $19.

Plus, Barrymore isn't the only celeb to break out the pleated pants. In the fall, Meghan Markle hit the Invictus Games red carpet with Prince Harry while wearing beige wide-leg trousers with pleats. Eva Longoria also wore tan wide-leg pants with a pleated front while in Los Angeles, and Hailey Bieber even took the trend to shorter heights with her short pleated skirt while on a coffee date with Justin Bieber recently.
Designed with functionality in mind, pleats expand while you move to prevent seam tension and pesky folds. And for as little as $34, you can get a pair of comfy pleated trousers at Amazon — and they happen to be a best-seller in the Women's Casual Pants category.

Longoria is a fan of folding her trousers, and the Milumia Wide-Leg Pleated Pants look so similar to the pair she wore back in August. Made of a polyester and spandex blend, the pants are thick and opaque to prevent unnecessary lines. Plus, they feature a high waist and trendy wide leg, offering even more room with front pleats. With aVelcro closure, the pants are easy to slip off and on, and they also have front pockets.
