The most coveted jeans of Summer 2024 aren't denim at all. Shop the on-trend, uber comfortable pants here and a few similar styles.
By 2024, many of us thought we'd have flying cars. Instead, we got jeans that are actually sweatpants instead. Seriously, take a look at these... jeans? Nope. Sweatpants. Civilization may never be the same. Created by American denim brand Rag & Bone, the Miramar "denim" line is a soft, lightweight, loop-back cotton terry material printed to look like jeans. Shock morphs into intrigue — then desire.
Fashionistas are leaning into the term Trompe-l'oeil, French for "deceives the eye." It's usually reserved for painting and crafts — like a sidewalk drawing that gives the illusion of stepping into a hole on flat pavement. In this case, it describes these chic and cozy sweatpant jeans. They are pricey, but reviews say they are so incredible and versatile that they are worth every penny.
The Miramar range of Trompe L'oeil styles also offers shorts, skirts and jackets, like the one pictured above in the Rag & Bone Instagram post.
