It’s almost November, and that means goodbye for now, bare legs. Pants are waiting in the wings, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that the style Kristen Bell just wore while doing press for Nobody Wants This season 3 in NYC is *the* pant trend of winter 2026. (Disclaimer: Bell was technically wearing a chocolate brown jumpsuit, but as you’ll see, it was styled as though she were wearing pants for her arrival at the Empire State Building for an appearance.)
The pant trend in question is a bit dramatic (in a good way), and it’s best paired with heels, for maximum effectiveness. The style is sash pants, which are basically trousers with a long scarf belt attached. You’ll want to wear it with something that ensures the belt is visible, such as Bell’s leather bomber jacket. The heels Bell went with were a perfectly chosen pair of chocolate brown satin pumps. And I have no notes.
