2026 is the year of statement dressing. From stand-out skirts<\/a> to trending vibrant colours such as cobalt blue<\/a> and sugar pink<\/a>, it’s also the year of spherical silhouettes.<\/p>\n

One trend embracing that ‘bubble’ look this season is balloon trousers. Slightly different to the popular barrel leg<\/a> shape we’ve seen dominate the high street over the last year, balloon trousers tend to be more intense in volume and are considered more exaggerated and playful in shape.<\/p>\n

Our first choice this season is Zara’s Balloon Pleat Trousers<\/a>, which are just a mere \u00a330 to buy right now.<\/p>\n

Made from a sleek viscose blend yarn, these balloon trousers are the epitome of chic and will take you from day to night with a simple change of shoes.<\/p>\n

Designed with a flattering high-waist and sophisticated front pleats, these relaxed trousers subtly taper in at the ankles offering a flattering bubble-like shape to the hips and legs.<\/p>\n

Available in a host of versatile shades, you can shop these elegant trousers in chocolate brown<\/a>, camel, black and beige too.<\/p>\n

To style them for winter, team with a cosy cashmere jumper<\/a> or snuggly knit and a pair of trainers – we’re loving silver sneakers or animal print trainers<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if you want to glam them up, style with a cream or white satin blouse teamed with chocolate brown or black kitten heels<\/a>, and layer with a cropped leather jacket<\/a> to show off the trouser’s high waist.<\/p>\n

For spring\/summer, think a similar tone slinky top paired with a matching pair of flip flops for a chic monochromatic look.<\/p>\n
