Denim and suede aren’t the only fabricscelebs are sportingthis fall.Kelly Clarksonjust inspired us to lean into a different relaxed pant style: silky palazzo pants.

TheAmerican Idolalum dressed up a pair of polka-dot pants while on the set ofThe Kelly Clarkson Show, pairing them with a simple white button-down, and the ensemble looked just as comfy as pajamas.

With a stretchy drawstring waistband, this is the style you’ll want to reach for on Thanksgiving day, while the statement print pairs well with creamy sweaters or staple tops already in your closet.Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes, and more stars already made their case for ditching denim in favor of comfy alternatives this season, so it’s time to follow suit.
