If you’ve been to L.A. and NYC, you’ve probably noticed that fashion choices in each city are very different. L.A. is more laid-back and effortless, giving off a “I just threw this on” vibe. NYC feels edgier and more intentional, as if the dresser wants others to notice what they’re wearing. Despite the differences, one thing chic dressers in both cities can agree on is a defining wardrobe staple: J.Crew Luna Pants.

If you’re not familiar, J.Crew debuted the Luna pants in March. They’re a lightweight, 100% cotton poplin design with an adjustable drawstring waistband, a relaxed wide-leg silhouette, and exposed seam detailing. The style quickly became an essential piece for daily wear, with fashion people pairing them with everything from flip-flops and T-shirts to ballet flats and lightweight knits, and was often called an affordable alternative to the celeb-loved Leset Kyoto Pants. Within weeks of launch, the initial colorways sold out across sizes. Recognizing the surging demand, J.Crew expanded the lineup with additional hues, which promptly sold out as well and have been on backorder ever since.
