Pants are in and skirts are out. Well, the latter isn’t necessarily true, but the former certainly is — many designers have said yes to the pantsuit for their latest collections — and the look is trickling down to the bridal world. There’s no denying that a pair of crisp trousers looks impeccably chic and classy when swaying down the aisle, making just as big of a statement as any ball gown would.

This menswear-inspired trend gives brides who aren’t into the frills of a conventional wedding dress the chance to don a silhouette that’s more true to their personal style. Some women feel more comfortable, sexier, and powerful in pants, and that’s exactly who the bridal pantsuit is catered toward. After all, bridal style has become more of a form of self-expression than anything else. While pants may have long ago been associated with both informality, their rise as a modern-day bridal look is reflective of social and cultural changes. As women have now long incorporated pants into their everyday wardrobe, why shouldn’t the trend be carried into bridal wear?

This look is also a favorite among the fashion-forward, both for real brides and celebrity brides alike. Solange Knowles tied the knot in a Stephane Rolland jumpsuit, and Amal Clooney donned a beautiful Stella McCartney two-piece suit for her civil ceremony to George Clooney. Whether you prefer wide-legged pants, cuffed hems, or cigarette trousers, there’s an array of options to suit your tastes. Just see for yourself.
