Kelly Clarkson is officially back at work, and she's got the outfit to prove it.

On September 29, the singer returned for the seventh season of The Kelly Clarkson Show while wearing a polished blazer and coordinating work pants -- but make no mistake, these weren't your standard slacks. During the episode, Clarkson traded ordinary trousers for a flattering, wide-leg velvet pair that looked straight out of our fall fashion mood boards.

Whether you're looking to revamp your office attire or want to start curating your holiday wardrobe lineup, velvet pants are a comfy fall staple you should stock up on. That's why we rounded up similar styles inspired by Clarkson's trendy outfit at Amazon, and prices start at $23.

If you can't mimic Clarkson's stellar vocals, you might as well copy her outfit -- starting with these velvet pants. These slacks look similar to the singer's, thanks to their wide-leg silhouette and luxe-looking fabric, and they're available in sizes small to XL and six fall-ready colors. Style them with a coordinating blazer for a trendy take on in-office attire, or wear them with T-shirts or sweaters to dress up basic closet staples. (Pro tip: Shoppers suggest sizing up for the best fit.)

Looking for pants that look "upscale and expensive" at an affordable price? Consider picking up this pair of velvet trousers from Amazon that one shopper called "great for a nice night out." Their elastic waistband makes them even more comfortable than typical trousers, while their Clarkson-inspired velvet fabric looks "stylish [and] luxe" without being too flashy, per a second reviewer. Take after the singer by picking them up in black, or choose from nine additional colors, including wine red and emerald green.

For those who prefer the look of classic slacks, this bootcut pair may be your new go-to. While the flattering flared silhouette closely resembles Clarkson's pants, the pair's stretchy ponte fabric may be more wearable for everyday. Plus, with one reviewer calling them "super slimming," and another noting that they feel like "wearing pajamas," you can trust that the pants are a cute and comfy staple to have on hand.
