Martha Stewart just proved that comfort doesn’t cancel glamour — and she did it without a single pair of jeans in sight. At 84, the lifestyle icon stepped out in luxe, velvet-like trousers that look red-carpet ready but feel suspiciously close to loungewear. Styled with a classic winter turtleneck, the look delivered quiet luxury with zero effort — the kind of outfit that whispers I know exactly what I’m doing.
The genius of Stewart’s choice lies in the fabric. Plush, draped, and impossibly flattering, these velour-style pants blur the line between partywear and pajamas. They elevate even the simplest top, making them the perfect secret weapon for packed holiday calendars — from cocktail parties to last-minute dinners where comfort suddenly matters a lot.
Naturally, fashion fans rushed to recreate the vibe. Lookalike versions are already popping up from brands like Mango, Madewell, Aritzia, Gap, and COS, many at surprisingly approachable prices and some even marked down for the season. If Martha Stewart is endorsing soft pants as formalwear, consider this your permission slip to retire jeans — at least until January.
