Hailing from the ever-flattering barrel jeans come balloon trousers that offer fashion-forward comfort for your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re jetting off on a much-anticipated break or filling your calendar with sun-soaked plans, they’re an elevated yet effortless piece that’ll transform those nothing-to-wear moments into endless compliments.
Our fashion editor has laid out just how to style SS26’s most wanted piece, taking away any guesswork from your to-do list.
A blank canvas you can wear, plain harem trousers are unsurprisingly wearable and instantly elevating. Think voluminous silhouettes in airy fabrics like cotton or linen, that come to life when paired with summer tops showcasing artistic embroidery and refreshing motifs.
Giving you the opportunity to experiment with shape, while keeping cool and comfy, balloon trousers deserve a space in every wardrobe.
There are few things that feel and look as good as a pigment-popping co-ord, especially along sand-stretched shores and cloudless skies. Expect printed vests and tanks, spun in breathable fabrics that style you from sunrise to sunset, fuss-free.
For a look part lounge, part luxe, style the balloon trousers and matching top with golden jewellery and sandals.
Bringing a refined look to your weekly rotation, balloon trousers can also be paired with blouses and shirts to instantly turn up the volume on an otherwise drab Monday morning. Think patterned pieces and linen numbers that’ll invite compliments in the meeting room and at spontaneous plans afterwards.
Worn with ballet flats and a printed scarf around the waist, it’s a summer hero piece that balances high-impact style with daily comfort.
Summer whispers for lightweight layers you can wear on repeat and balloon trousers delivers every time.
