Skirt-Over-Pants Hybrid

If you're looking for a fresh and fashion-forward trend with a twist, then give the noughties-inspired skirt-over-pants trend a try. We saw the combo all over the spring/summer 2025 runways, from sporty styles at Johanna Parv to polished, boardroom-ready takes at Bottega Veneta and Boss.

Wide-Leg Trousers

Let's be honest. Wide-leg trousers never really go out of style. This season, they come with a super-high waist, a tailored fit, crisp pleats down the center, and a baggy puddle-effect silhouette, as seen at Khaite and Saint Laurent.

Stovepipe Jeans

When it comes to your jeans in 2025, there are plenty of cool styles to choose from, but we're looking forward to the return of stovepipe silhouettes. We're talking about straight and narrow styles with a slightly wider leg opening than skinny jeans. For a fashion-forward take, get them with defined front seams like those spotted at Bally.
