Cargos

We're diving back into the noughties with a surprisingly stylish trending pants for ladies: cargo trousers! When they made their comeback, the sight and sound of these baggy pants definitely caught us off guard. We were all wondering how to style them in a chic way. The trick? Go for a "grown-up" version made from heavier, nicer fabrics, and keep the pockets to a minimum. Throw on low heels, and suddenly those loose-leg trousers are ready for a night out.

You can find them in all sorts of materials—from cotton, like the Tapered-leg cargo trousers from Erika Cavallini, to denim, like the Wide-leg cargo jeans from Agolde.

Striped Pants

We've been seeing more and more trendsetters making striped trousers look super stylish, and it turns out they can be one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. They can be comfy and lightweight or tough and formal, and you can style them in tons of different ways. Some women's pants trends really stick around because they're just so adaptable.

The summer version might look quite like the Striped cotton pants from Beige Brown—relaxed fit, light material. The fall/winter option could be the Baggy fit jeans from House of Dagmar with its pinstripe pattern. And for those who are up for a modern, slightly avant-garde look, we suggest the Wrap cropped trousers from Erika Cavallini. Such a style with a wrap over your pants is also in trend.

Minimalist Trousers

Minimalism is still a big deal, especially if we talk about trousers that feature clean lines and an easygoing vibe. These pants are about simplicity—straight or slightly tapered leg, quality fabrics that hang perfectly, neutral hues. The cool thing about these pants is their versatility—they go from day to night without breaking a sweat, clearly showcasing the "less is more" approach. 

You'll find different types of pants within this aesthetic, too—like the understated Cotton chino trousers from House of Dagmar and the Classy tapered trousers from Erika Cavallini.

High Rise Pants

High-waist trousers are making a major style statement. They create a striking silhouette that shows off the waist and makes the legs look longer. This trend covers all types of pants, from wide-leg to flared, and and we see endless fashionable options on the runways. Designers paired those exaggerated waistlines with cropped tops and tucked-in blouses to emphasize the figure. The high waist brings a bit of vintage flair, nodding to styles from the '40s and '70s, but with a fresh, modern vibe. Dress them up with a structured blazer or go for a cozy look with a chunky knit. These trousers celebrate the female shape with a strong, though feminine, feel.

To jump on this trend, invest in a pair with a high rise. It can be a pair of jeans, such as the High rise straight jeans from Agolde. Or a pair of joggers, like the High-waist tapered sweatpants from Aeronautica Militare. If your style is more polished, the Linen wide suit trousers from House of Dagmar are your choice.

Wide-Leg Pants

Wide-leg trousers have been one of the hottest trending pants in recent years, and if you jumped on that trend, you're in luck—they're sticking around! The style is actually leveling up, with even bolder barrel shapes and horseshoe silhouettes on the way.

The Wide-leg jeans from Agolde are a trending style with cuffed hems (also in vogue), while the Wide-leg suit trousers from Beige Brown are simply timeless.

Pleated Trousers

Smart, crisp pleating might seem like a little detail, but it sets your outfit apart and gives your pants that chic vibe. Try a sharp pleat down the middle or a design with a center seam. Either way, this detail brings relaxed trousers into the next season.

The Wide suit trousers from House of Dagmar are the typical representation of this style, yet trending pleated pants don't have to be overly formal. They can look more like casual chinos, and even pleated jeans are getting more and more appreciation.

Loungewear

Loungewear pants for women became a major trend due to a confluence of cultural, social, and economic shifts. Began as a response to the pandemic, it evolved into a permanent lifestyle revolution where comfort is no longer an afterthought but rather a central priority in our lives. Modern loungewear pants are designed with this in mind, using soft, cozy, and flexible fabrics like cashmere, bamboo terry, and high-quality cotton that feel good against the skin.

The luxurious Cashmere wide-leg trousers from Lisa Yang, for example, work well at home and outside. The Loungewear cashmere trousers and the Fine knit sweatpants from FTC Cashmere are also staples of the athleisure style.

Cropped Pants

Cropped pants come in a wide range of silhouettes—from slim-fit cigarette pants to wide-leg culottes and relaxed joggers. This variety allows them to flatter a diverse range of body types. The key to the flattering effect is that the cropped hem hits at a narrow part of the leg, typically just above the ankle. This creates a visually slimming and lengthening effect, especially when paired with the right footwear.

Cropped summer pants styles include designs like the Straight cropped jeans from Agolde and the Cropped jersey trousers from Aeronautica Militare.

Leather Trousers

Leather pants have a built-in sense of rebellion, drawing on a rich history of rock-and-roll, biker culture, and '90s grunge, giving a confident and powerful aesthetic. This edge allows them to transform a simple tee or a classic blazer into a bold statement. At the same time, their sleek, form-fitting silhouette provides a refined and sophisticated look that can be dressed up for an evening out.

The Straight-fit leather trousers from House of Dagmar and the Leather straight trousers from Agolde are both made of premium leather and feature sleek silhouettes.
