It Girls Concur: This Is the Trendy 2026 Alternative to Last Summer's Classic Silk Pants.
There's no doubt that silk and satin pants, particularly those with drawstrings, continue to be a strong trend among fashion enthusiasts following last summer's surge. Recently, my colleagues at Who What Wear and I observed a fresh alternative emerging for summer 2026, showcased by It girls worldwide. From New York City to London, a more adventurous, textured style made of silk taffeta is now capturing attention. While neutral shades remain popular, the taffeta options are available in vibrant pinks, blues, greens, and even yellows. The secret to successfully styling these trendy pants is to combine them with basic pieces like white T-shirts, tank tops, and simple sweaters. For footwear, consider flats, flip-flops, or a type of strappy kitten heel. The aim is to ensure the pants take center stage in your outfit. Below, I've compiled an assortment of the trendiest silk taffeta pants currently available from beloved brands such as Chan Luu and Donni. I've also included similar styles from Zara, Reformation, and others.
