Karlie Kloss and Vanessa Axente in the Most Game-Changing Pants of the Season

Skirt and dress lovers, avert your eyes (or, better yet, join the long-legged party): Pants are what’s talking and walking right now, whether they’re skinny, wide, cropped, or flared. The detail is in the hemline, and the guiding rule is an exposed ankle or a showcased shoe—and in case you have any doubts about the new dress code come late-night or date night, take a cue from Mugler creative director David Koma. “Of course pants can be sexy,” says Koma of his Resort collectsion’s snap-cuff style, which goes from polished to playful in seconds (“I call them transformer trousers,” he adds). Throw a minidress or a tunic over the top and strut your stuff.
