Hi there! Can you believe spring will be here before we know it? One of my favorite things about spring is the pants you can style differently throughout the season depending on the weather. Sailor pants are back again this year, and I love how flattering they are on so many different body types. I picked up these sailor jeans last year, and I’m so glad I did. If you’re looking for a pair of jeans you’ll feel confident in, this is a style to try! Whether you go for sailor jeans or sailor pants, this style is so flattering.
While sailor pants are a unique style, you might be surprised how versatile they are! Okay, you might associate sailor with summer when it comes to fashion, (I know I do sometimes), but there are plenty of ways you can style them for other seasons, especially since these pants come in heavier weights too. So, today I’m sharing a roundup of ways to style women’s sailor pants.
How to Style Women’s Sailor Pants Throughout The Year
There are lots of cute ways to style sailor pants for different things you might do, but first let’s chat about what sailor pants are.
What Are Sailor Pants And Why Are They So Popular Right Now
Sailor pants typically have patch pockets on the front. Sometimes, the pockets have a button (like mine do), and sometimes they don’t! They tend to be high waisted.
Why they’re so popular: These pants are normally comfortable and they have a nice fit. They hit at the perfect part of your waist, and the cut of the pant is also flattering on different heights. I carry baby weight in my midsection, but you’d never be able to tell in sailor pants because of the strategic pocket placement and the waist. These pants often have a tailored hem that gives your outfit a polished, sophisticated look.

Style tip: These pants look the best when you tuck in your top so you aren’t covering up the pocket detail on the front of the pants!
Five Sailor Pants Outfits You Should Give A Try
Sailor Jeans With A Lightweight Cotton Sweater
I love the light denim color of my sailor pants (similar here) because they pair perfectly with neutrals or vibrant colors. My exact top in the photo below works well with sailor pants because of how nicely it lays when you tuck it in. It’s Italian cotton, which apparently means it is absolutely gorgeous in person and so soft. I’m wearing a size small, and I think this top runs true to size. It says dry clean, which I don’t mind, but I’ve only ever washed and dried it multiple times without issue. Click here to shop my exact ballet flats.
Sailor Jeans With A Bright T-Shirt And Blazer
As I mentioned above, sailor jeans also look fabulous with bright colors. I love to wear mine with a bright red top. If you need a layer, give this classic suede jacket a try (you can see it on me here). Or, if you want something with fun flower details, I’m in love with this beautiful suede jacket, which has a super romantic and feminine vibe.
Fun Cotton Sailor Pants For An Elevated Casual Outfit
These sailor pants are the perfect match for these slingback shoes that everyone loves from Sezane. I would wear this to work on a casual Friday, to brunch with friends, to dinner with friends, and everywhere else, ha. And I love this type of elevated casual outfit because it works for so many different occasions.
I didn’t style this outfit with a belt because I don’t think it needs one, but you could also wear a black belt.
Navy Sailor Pants For Work
Monochrome outfits are easy to style and great options for work. A dark pant like navy or black always helps elevate the formality of your outfit and gives it a more serious feel. I’d say this look is perfect for a casual or a business casual work environment. But, if you have to dress for a formal work dress code like a suit, this outfit won’t work unless you have a casual Friday! The other thing I love about navy pants is that you can more easily wear them across different seasons. You can wear them with a sweater when it’s cooler outside, and wear them with a more lightweight blouse when it’s warmer.
If you need to keep your feet warm with this outfit, I love these sock tights. Click here to see how sock tights look with ballet flats on me.
Sailor Jeans For Date Night
I wore sailor jeans with an off the shoulder top for a casual date night. I was comfortable, but I felt very chic. My exact top is sold out, but this one is very similar. I also love this one for the warmer months. I think these jeans are most similar to the pair I’m wearing.
