American Eagle Black Friday Pants Sale

Start with the rise, leg shape, fabric, and pockets. We recommend thinking about how you’ll wear your pants: drawstring waists keep things casual, cargo pockets add utility, and chinos pair easily with button-up shirts.

Straight-leg pants follow a fairly consistent line from the knee to the hem. Wide-leg pants have more room through the leg for a looser shape. We like straight legs with sneakers and wide legs with a fitted tee for contrast.

Let the pockets do the talking. We pair cargo pants with a simple T-shirt and sneakers for an everyday outfit, or add a crewneck sweatshirt and boots when the weather cools down. A cropped jacket keeps the layers balanced.

Joggers typically have an elastic or drawstring waist and cuffed ankles. Chinos are usually made from cotton twill and have a more structured look. Try joggers with a hoodie or chinos with a tee and an open button-up shirt.

We like relaxed pants with low-top sneakers for an easy everyday look, or chunkier shoes to balance a wider leg. Let a full-length hem fall over the top of your shoes, or cuff it to show more of your sneakers.
