Martha Stewarts Pants Are the Most Wearable Holiday Style You Can Own

Publish date: 2024-05-06

New Year's Eve always sneaks up on me. I mean, it’s kind of hard to follow Christmas, which is usually on people’s minds right after Thanksgiving ends (if not before turkey day even starts). And, because I’m so focused on the one holiday — which means grabbing gifts and securing a flight home — I often neglect the latter, leaving me frantically searching for last-minute New Year’s Eve ‘fits. But this year, I owe a big thank you to Martha Stewart, whose outfit inspired my upcoming party look.

This weekend, Stewart showed her Instagram followers how to add a touch of festivity to an otherwise sophisticated outfit. On top, she opted for a silky, champagne-colored blouse with a long tie at the front (this one from Banana Republic is almost identical!), and on the bottom, she wore metallic pants. She’s already done silver shoes and silver dresses, so why not try silver pants? Seems fitting for her.

While her party look gave new meaning to business-casual, it was her sparkling pants I immediately set out to find for myself. The silver-hue is perfect for New Year’s Eve — IMO, they’d make even the most basic top look festive — while still being practical enough to wear beyond just, well, New Year’s Eve. And, in my search for the perfect lookalike, I found 10 styles you can shop today that look nearly identical to Stewart’s.

If you’re looking for the comfiest way to achieve Stewart’s silver look, it’s definitely with these chiffon pants you can grab at Nordstrom. The style features a wide, roomy leg and an elastic waistband, kind of like if you said, “I want to make my favorite pair of sweats New Year’s Eve-friendly." And, not only are they comfy, but their darker metallic hue is more subtle than a true, in-your-face silver, making them easier to style for everyday wear post-parties. 

Gestuz Eira High-Waist Metallic Knit Pants

Gestuz’s style has that same dark metallic color but with a sleeker silhouette. These pants are knitted with metallic fibers, mixing silver with black, and feature a high-waist and slim legs that flare at the bottom. You still get wearable comfort thanks to the elastic waist but with a little more flare (literally).

Gap High-Rise Vegan Leather Cheeky Straight-Leg Pants

Gap

If you want a classic, bold silver, Gap’s vegan leather pants are a total must. These are available in sizes 24 through 35, as well as in regular, tall, and petite silhouettes, pretty much guaranteeing a perfect fit. According to customers, these are “amazingly comfortable.” 

One customer wrote, “I did not expect these to be as soft and breathable as they are,” adding the style is “fantastically comfortable.” Another wore the pants to their holiday party and deemed them “a hit.” Plus, they mentioned the style is perfect for curvy customers. “At a size 14, I can attest that I had no issues with gapping at the waist.”

If you want festive pants for New Year’s Eve that you can wear after the ball drops, Stewart’s metallic-hued style is the way to go. Shop more lookalike pants below, and get ready to shine.
