Autumn fashion trends highlight versatile wide-leg and barrel trousers

Autumn fashion trends for the 2026/2027 season are highlighting versatile, comfortable, and elegant trousers designed to transition from professional environments to casual social settings.

Key silhouettes include wide-leg styles, tailored pleated trousers, balloon shapes, and the trending barrel silhouette. Barrel pants, characterized by a cylindrical shape that widens at the thighs and narrows at the ankles, are noted for being both relaxed and stylish.

Specific recommendations include Zara’s high-waisted pleated tailored trousers, brown balloon pants, and navy pinstripe models. For a more sophisticated look, barrel-style trousers in neutral tones like black, grey, beige, or brown—available in fabrics such as corduroy or tailored suit material—are recommended for daily wear.
