No Skinny Jeans in Sight—European It Girls Are Aware That These 4 Trouser Trends Are Essential for Chic Looks

      Like many others, my fashion sense is greatly influenced by the stylish Europeans I admire, from Paris to Stockholm. Their trendy outfits (like those shown above) exude an effortless and modern vibe, often consisting of refined basics. When it comes to pants, I'm noticing less of the skinny jeans trend currently (though I acknowledge they are making a comeback, and if you like them, wear them), and instead, I'm seeing four other trouser styles gaining traction. These looks are stylish and crucial for achieving some of the most chic European outfits I've saved on Instagram. Below, you will find visual inspiration highlighting the featured pants (great for styling ideas) along with shopping suggestions in case you wish to add one or more of these styles to your wardrobe for spring and summer.

      **The Trouser Trends Chic Europeans Wear**

      1. **Drawstring Pants**

      **Style Notes:** Lately, I feel like I can't scroll through Instagram without coming across stylish ensembles that showcase relaxed, drawstring pants. They have a casual vibe that pairs well with everything from a simple tee to a blouse, and European women are wearing them frequently both at home and when traveling this summer.

      **Shop Drawstring Trousers:**

      - **J.Crew**

      *Cosmo Trousers in Striped Gramercy Linen Blend*

      A surprisingly stylish shade of peachy orange.

      - **CITIZENS OF HUMANITY**

      *Aurora Cotton and Linen-Blend Wide-Leg Pants*

      These are the type of trousers you'll consistently wear every summer.

      They feel dressy enough for evening outings as well.

      - **Reformation**

      *Olina Linen Pant*

      A simple outfit worth recreating.

      2. **Satin Pants**

      **Style Notes:** Silk pants are undeniably chic. There’s no other way to say it. They also serve as a wonderful alternative to skirts or typical tailored wool trousers. If you want a look that conveys 'I put in some effort, but not too much', satin pants can elevate your outfit while still keeping it comfortable.

      **Shop Silk Trousers:**

      - **Almada Label**

      *Bias Satin Pants*

      Don't overlook this luxury staples brand.

      - **Reformation**

      *Gale Satin Mid Rise Bias Pant*

      Available in at least eight different colors.

      - **ZARA**

      *Satin Effect Balloon Pants*

      These have a designer aesthetic but without the high price tag.

      They're likely to sell out quickly.

      3. **Capri Pants or Pedal Pushers**

      **Style Notes:** It's definitely the season for capri pants or pedal pushers—especially paired with flip-flops! I adore this outfit featuring a trench coat, which manages to transform what used to be a '90s throwback into something much more sophisticated. This is how to style cropped trousers…

      - **JACQUEMUS**

      *Le Pantalon Arlesien Crepe Skinny Capri Pants*

      - **Nobodys Child**

      *Black Jersey Ponte Capris Trousers*

      You won't find a better deal at this price.

      - **Faithfull**

      *Gingham Cotton Poplin Capri Pants in Black - Faithfull*

      These would look adorable for a sunny summer day with flats and a cardigan.

      - **Reformation**

      *Jill Cropped Knit Pant*

      These are already in low stock.

      4. **Relaxed White Jeans**

      **Style Notes:** There are plenty of stylish denim trends popular among Europeans, but I'm particularly drawn to relaxed fits in white or cream for a fresh look. Blue jeans are timeless, and while color trends may fluctuate, cream denim is hard to beat for its elegance and versatility.

      **Shop Cream/White Jeans:**

      If you weren't sold on cream denim before, you likely are now.

      - **Agolde**

      *Luna Barrel-Leg Jeans in White - Agolde*

      White barrel-leg jeans feel refreshingly chic.

      - **Citizens of Humanity**

      *Annina Straight Jeans in White*

      I’ll always advocate for Citizens of Humanity denim.

      - **H&M**

      *Wide High Waist Jeans*

      The attached belt is a lovely detail.
