For running errands
"This look is so easy breezy, and I love that this feels like polished loungewear that you can take out," Buccio says.
Buccio selected a pair of Beyond Yoga pants and styled them with a cami and a sporty funnel neck windbreaker. "A classic pair of sneakers are a must to finish this look," she says.
For a girls day out
"I love this look! These pull-on pants are going to be a wardrobe staple this summer. These are a linen color blend that also come in a variety of colors and styles, and I love how they hug the hip and feel real flowy," Buccio says, adding that you can style them with a lightweight knit for a cute look to wear to brunch.
"We wanted a pair of shoes that fit the vibe, and the jellies are still the 'it' shoe this summer! We saw them make a comeback last year, and they're here to stay," she adds.
For the office
"If I'm going to be spending eight hours in this outfit, I want to make sure that it 'office friendly' without it being fussy or restricting," Buccio says.
Buccio styled Fabletics trousers with a soft denim button-down.
"Denim is always a good idea, because it pairs well with anything, but especially a pull-on pant, because it makes it look so well put together," Buccio adds. "You would think this look is completely tailored, and that's the power of the pants!"

Track pants are also trending, and these pull-on pants check more than one box.
Buccio likes these for their "retro feel," pairing them with a J.Crew blazer, a tank top and a strappy kitten heel.
For a formal occasion
"This outfit is doing some fierce heavy lifting to show us that pull-on pants can be formal," Buccio says.
It's both comfortable and formal, featuring a voluminous balloon pant you can dress up or down.
"Making the look monochromatic elongates the body, makes it look more luxe, and streamlined," Buccio says, adding that she paired the pants with a block heel that's "going to be a must-have for spring and summer. It's fashion-forward but also easygoing!"
