If you're sporting trousers in any of these stylish colors, you belong to the top 1% of dressers.

      For about 80% of the year, if you see me out, I'm likely to be in jeans. This reliable choice only changes during the hottest parts of summer when denim can feel too warm. As someone who's never felt entirely comfortable in dresses or skirts, I naturally switch to lightweight, breathable trousers to keep me comfortable during the warm season. While my winter trouser selection usually consists of navy, black, and grey, my summer choices are quite different. The arrival of brighter days calls for a lighter, more fun color palette—mirroring the optimism of the season. Inspired by the new colors for the upcoming season, I've decided to highlight the trouser color trends expected to dominate summer 2025. Below, you can find the notable summer trouser color trends I'm already saving for the upcoming months.

      5 Summer Trouser Color Trends to Try in 2025:

      1. Butter Yellow Trousers

      Style Notes: It’s no surprise that butter yellow is trending. This soft shade is appearing everywhere, including on trousers, and provides a gentle way to add color without overwhelming an outfit. Positioned between cream and sunshine yellow, it feels instantly uplifting and is surprisingly easy to style. I particularly enjoy pairing it with soft greys, crisp whites, rich browns, or even blush pink.

      Shop Butter Yellow Trousers:

      - Reformation: Gale Satin Mid Rise Bias Pant - The satin trouser trend continues to thrive.

      - ASOS: Linen Blend Barrel Leg Trouser - Its linen fabric ensures a lightweight and breathable feel.

      - H&M: Wide Tailored Trousers - Style these with leather mules for a quintessential summer 2025 look.

      2. Red Trousers

      Style Notes: The red trend is still going strong, and I particularly love it in the form of leg-grazing trousers. I prefer to keep the top simple with a white tee or black layer—styling choices that let the color shine without being too much.

      Shop Red Trousers:

      - Mango: Drawstring Straight Trousers - Introduce a splash of color to your summer wardrobe.

      - Nobodys Child: Red Linen-Blend Shona Trousers - I love these in red, but they’re available in eight other colors too.

      - & Other Stories: Relaxed Drawstring Trousers - The drawstring feature adds a relaxed vibe, perfect for casual summer looks.

      3. Cobalt Blue Trousers

      Style Notes: Cobalt blue is already being anticipated as one of next year’s standout colors, and it’s making an early appearance this summer. While it may seem bold initially, I’ve found that cobalt pairs well with other bright shades—think lemon yellow or candy pink—for a vibrant look. If you're not feeling bold, white or navy can tone it down without losing its impact.

      Shop Cobalt Blue Trousers:

      - COS: Deconstructed Cotton Barrel-Leg Trousers - The sculptural design offers a dramatic silhouette.

      - Topshop: Linen Balloon Trouser - Pair these with Mary Janes or dress them down with casual sneakers.

      4. Chocolate Brown Trousers

      Style Notes: I consider chocolate brown an underrated neutral—rich and elegant, just as wearable in summer as in winter. This season, I'm thinking of replacing my black trousers with deep, cocoa-toned options from brands like COS, With Nothing Underneath, and Massimo Dutti. In the summer months, they add a softer touch to outfits while still exuding the sophistication of a darker tone.

      Shop Chocolate Brown Trousers:

      - COS: Wide-Leg Linen Drawstring Trousers - These come in a lovely chocolate brown, as well as a pale pink.

      - With Nothing Underneath: The Palazzo Trousers - I’ve loved their shirts, and their new trousers deserve attention too.

      - Massimo Dutti: Textured Trousers - I rely on Massimo Dutti for their stylish and simple tailoring.

      5. White Trousers

      Style Notes: For me, nothing signifies summer like a pair of white trousers. Clean, crisp, and versatile, they elevate any outfit without needing additional color. Whether styled with a matching top for a minimalist look or contrasted with bold hues, white trousers are a summer staple I turn to every year.

      Shop White Trousers:

      - Toteme: Organic Cotton-Poplin Pants - These elegant white trousers fit perfectly into a capsule wardrobe.

      - Zara: Linen Blend Wide-Leg Trousers With Belt - They’re also available in cream, khaki, and indigo; I plan to wear these with flip-flops all summer long.
