These 6 New Summer 2024 Trouser Trends Are Set to Dominate
Whenever a new season rolls around, the first thing on my agenda is predicting the trends that are about to start making their way from the runways to the stores. As a dress devotee, I’ve always got one eye on the new minis, midis and maxis that are coming to the fore, but with summer finally here, I couldn’t help but notice just how many trouser styles were proving popular this season. Of course, there will always be the anti-trend wardrobe staples that you can buy now and wear forever (that’s you, wide-leg trousers, leggings and straight-leg jeans), but what of the buzzier styles being championed for the warmer months? Well, trouser fans, I’m happy to say that from ’90s throwbacks to loose-legged, casual fits, there’s a lot to get excited about in 2024.

Starting with last season’s most-discussed runway moments and then scouring through street style images, I’ve spotted six styles that feel the most compelling for the summer season. Should you be tired of relying on the same pair of blue jeans, there’s plenty in the way of silk, linen, cotton and reworked denim, and a whole host of new silhouettes, and I’m convinced you’ll find at least one that you hadn’t considered before but that will work wonders for your wardrobe.
So, if you’re passionate about pants or are ready to trade in your floaty skirts for something a little more substantial, keep scrolling to see 6 summer trouser trends for 2024 that you’ll be seeing everywhere in the upcoming months. You heard it here first.
Shop the 6 Best Trouser Trends for Summer 2024:
1. CAPRIS
Style Notes: After we welcomed back jelly shoes, bandeau tops, baby tees and chokers, it was only a matter of time until the definitive late ’90s/early ’00s trouser style made its return. Lately, the Who What Wear UK editors’ group chat has been busily discussing the power of the pedal-pusher. Yes, capris are back, and these calf-hugging wonders actually look decidedly chic when paired with a heel (who knew?). Our best styling advice is to play with proportions and balance out the cropped fit with oversized shirts and boxy blazers.
Shop the Trend:
Reformation
Posie Pedal Pusher Pant
This entire look is so elegant.
Anthropologie
Slim Capri Pants
I love this burnt orange shade.
River Island
Blue Bum Sculpt Crop Molly Skinny Jeans
You could also style these with a baby tee and retro trainers.
HIGH SPORT
Nsfw Crop Kick Checked Stretch-Jacquard Knit Flared Pants
This slightly flared pair is a great way to ease into the trend.
H&M
Crease-Front Capri Trousers
H&M is all over the capri trend this season.
2. GREY DENIM
Style Notes: After speaking to the denim experts at Citizens of Humanity and Agolde towards the end of last year, it was immediately clear that 2024 is set to be a game-changer for grey jeans. Popular cuts and shapes may change with the seasons, but we’ve always been faithful to an indigo wash; that is until now, when the recent runways made such a hero out of slate grey that it changed the way we thought about our jeans in the process. It makes sense—grey manages to be versatile, polished and just the right level of distressed to feel “cool”, which is exactly what we want from a pair of jeans we’re likely to wear on rotation with everything from heels to trainers.
Shop the Trend:
Toteme
Twisted Seam Denim Full Length Mid Grey
I’ve heard great things about Toteme jeans.
This lighter grey wash has such a ’90s feel to it.
& Other Stories
Slim Cut Jeans
For those who prefer a skinny fit.
FRAME
Le Jane Ankle Distressed Straight-Leg Jeans
Grey denim is surprisingly easy to take from day to night.
UNIQLO
Wide Straight Jeans
Simply add your favourite tee and loafers for a casual day look.
3. POLISHED CARGOS
Style Notes: And we’re back to the noughties for another unexpectedly dressy trend—the cargo trouser. When they first returned last year, the sight (and sound) of this voluminous trouser style caught us off guard and had us wondering just how to make baggy trousers look chic. As it turns out, the answer comes in the form of a “grown-up” cargo; cut from weightier, luxe fabrics and with only the minimum number of pockets required. Simply throw on a pair of low heels and this loose-leg trouser is elevated to evening-ready heights in an instant.
Shop the Trend:
H&M
Canvas Cargo Trousers
These look way more expensive than they are .
Reformation
Ethan Twill Pant
These definitely have a Nineties feel.
THE FRANKIE SHOP
Maesa Pleated Woven Wide-Leg Cargo Pants

Mint Velvet
White Cotton Cargo Trousers
This style looks like it should come with a designer price tag.
4. CUFFED JEANS
Style Notes: Whilst Instagram is busily distracted by the barrel-leg jeans movement that has been happening over the past few months, there’s an equally chic alternative for those less taken by the balloon-leg crave – cuffed jeans. Searches are up for “cuffed jeans”, and “turn-up jeans”, so it’s no wonder that a newfound love for this ‘French-girl’-approved style has taken over my Instagram feed.
Shop the Trend:
No one can beat H&M’s denim for value.
Reformation
Cary Cuffed High Rise Slouchy Wide Leg Jeans
These have a such a Seventies vibe.

We The Free

MANGO

5. STRIPE LINEN TROUSERS
Style Notes: When the temperature rises we immediately seek out the best linen pieces, and where better to turn than to a summer staple, the stripe trouser. Over the past few years we’ve noticed more and more tastemakers making the once “dated” style look impossibly chic, and as it turns out, stripe linen trousers can become one of the most hard-working styles in your wardrobe. They’re cosy and lightweight and can be styled in a myriad of ways—we’ll be taking cues from Sasha Mei’s chic styling (pictured above) and pairing ours with a waistcoat and sandals.
Shop the Trend:
Reformation
Fernando Wide Leg Linen Pant
When it comes to linen, Reformation does not disappoint.

6. SILK TROUSERS
Style Notes: You don’t need to shelve your slip dresses in favour of trousers this year; you can get two-in-one with silk trousers. Although these stick around year-long, we’ve seen a real increase in fashion people rocking the style for summer 2024. Whether they’re a tailored wide-leg, pull-on jersey or have a cargo finish, this classic style is huge on Instagram right now.
