7 Spring Trouser Trends That Will Make Your Capsule Wardrobe Much Chicer

If there’s one thing I always get excited about when a new season rolls around, it’s the opportunity to refresh my wares with pieces that feel both current and make for sensible capsule wardrobe investments. And when it comes to spring 2025, trousers are taking centre stage. This season’s styles offer the perfect balance of statement-making shapes and elevated everyday essentials—proof that the right pair of trousers can completely transform your look and make getting dressed much easier in the process.

What makes spring the perfect time to invest in new trousers? They're the ultimate transpersonal foundation piece and will help you ease yourself into the lighter looks that we'll all end up wearing later into the season. Whether paired with chunky knits in early spring or sheer blouses as the temperatures rise, spring 2025's trouser trends offer endless styling potential. Straight from the runways, these silhouettes and fabrics set the tone for a fresh approach to assembling daily outfits.

For me, analysing trouser trends is a true joy. They’re one of those pieces that ground an outfit while offering so much room for experimentation—whether through colour, shape, or texture. The spring/summer 2025 runway collections delivered on all counts, showcasing trousers that range from bold and playful to sleek and sophisticated.

Style Notes: We can't talk trouser trends without considering jeans! Wide-leg denim gets turned up a notch with the palazzo silhouette, and although they might be statement, they're one of the most wearable trends of the season. Bottega Veneta and Gabriela Hearst showed these dramatic shapes in a variety of washes, all of which created a laid-back yet sophisticated payoff to the runway looks. Try pairing with fitted tops and jackets to balance the volume.
