Trousers Take Charge

While skirts had their moment in 2024, the runways are whispering a different story for the coming year. It's time to dust off your trousers and get ready to embrace a new wave of comfortable yet statement-making styles.

The Nostalgic Remix: Skirt Over Pants

Remember the skirt-over-trousers trend that dominated the early 2000s? It's back! From sporty fabrics seen at Johanna Parv to luxurious wools at Bottega Veneta, this playful layering option offers a unique way to add personality to your look. Feeling thrifty? Set your sights on Vivienne Westwood or Burberry finds for a vintage twist.

The Slouchy Statement: Straight-Leg & Wide-Leg

For the classic dresser, the new season offers a relaxed take on tailoring. Think slouchy, straight-leg silhouettes that flow from the hip, showcased at Miu Miu, Loewe, and Prada. And who can resist the timeless wide-leg? This season, it gets a high-waisted upgrade as seen at Khaite and Saint Laurent.

The Utilitarian Chic: Cargo Pants

Remember those cargo pants with giant pockets from the Y2K era? They're making a major comeback! This trend offers a comfortable alternative to denim, available in everything from wide-leg denim to silky iterations. Not only are they practical, but they exude a cool, effortless vibe. Designers are elevating the utilitarian look with cuffed hems and strategic pockets for added flair. Reformation, Toteme, and Wardrobe.NYC are some chic brands to check out for this trend.

The Pattern Play: Plaid Power

Plaid, a timeless pattern with a rich history, is back in a big way. Inject some eccentricity into your wardrobe with bold checked trousers like those seen at Chopova Lowena. For vintage finds, keep an eye out for Vivienne Westwood and Burberry.

The Comfort King: High-Waisted and Baggy

Baggy jeans are a surprisingly versatile choice. For starters, try denim, as they work all year round, and they pair effortlessly with sneakers, flats, boots, and more. This ultra-relaxed, low-rise silhouette offers the ultimate comfort without compromising on style.
