Oprah, Jennifer Garner, and Katie Holmes Are Ditching Jeans for Comfy Pants — Shop Under-$25 Lookalikes

Who says your go-to pants have to be blue denim? Celebrities are showing us that there’s more to casual bottoms than a trusty pair of jeans. Stars like Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Garner, and Katie Holmes have been seen in various comfortable styles lately, demonstrating that these jeans alternatives are just as versatile as denim.

Fall is the perfect time to try out new silhouettes (like cargo pants or palazzos), cozy textures (like satin or knit), and rich colors (like bronze or merlot), and Walmart is loaded with these comfy denim alternatives tapping the season’s biggest trends. Below, we’ve rounded up our 10 top choices from brands like Scoop, Free Assembly, and Time and Tru — all under $25.

Scoop Front-Seam Wide-Leg Leggings

The front-seam detail on these scuba-knit leggings mirrors styles we’ve seen recently on Reese Witherspoon and Pamela Anderson, a luxe touch that looks freshly pressed without ever touching an ironing board. They’re available in sizes XS through 4XL, with a 33-inch inseam and nine fall-friendly colors including coffee and spruce green. We think they’d be perfect dressed down with the Cariuma Oca Low sneakers Gabrielle Union loves, or teamed up with Scoop’s matching scuba blazer for the comfiest work ensemble ever.

Sofia Jeans Wide-Leg High-Rise Satin Cargo Pants

If you’ve been sleeping on loose cargos, take a style note from Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow, who have had this ’90s staple on rotation this season. This pair of cargo pants from Sofia Vergara’s collection reimagines the utilitarian style in silky satin, with a high rise, wide leg, button front, and elastic hidden at the back of the waistband. Shoppers say they’re super stylish for fall and work well with a variety of footwear, from Mary Janes to heels.

Fantaslook Wide-Leg High-Waist Tie-Knot Trousers

Jennifer Lawrence and Katie Holmes are noted fans of palazzo pants, and they often turn to the fluttery, wide-leg trousers to elevate any look with quiet luxury. This breezy pair from Fantaslook is lightweight and breathable, with flattering pleats, an elasticized waist, a tie front, and roomy side pockets. Reviewers report the pants wash beautifully and come out of the dryer wrinkle-free.

Athletic Works Super-Soft Joggers

For all-day comfort that washes well and resists fading, pull on a pair of the buttery-soft joggers reviewers call the perfect cozy fall sweats. They come in 13 colors, including black camo, wine red, and bright fuchsia, and are available in sizes XS to 3XL. One shopper confirmed they’re so comfy, they dreads taking them off to launder them. Another person who rotates through 10 pairs in various colors said to buy them ASAP.
