High rise and dart depth: the main design trend
In 2026, the high waist remains the absolute standard for dress and casual trousers. It elongates the silhouette, emphasizes the waist and forms harmonious proportions with any top.
- Wide belt and corset cut: Belt 4–6 cm wide with double fastening with buttons or hooks.
- Deep pleats from the waistband:Single and double pleats directed towards the side or middle seam, adding volume to the hips.
- Arrows with pressing and stitching:A clear vertical line that fixes the shape and visually lengthens the legs.
Ideal flares 2026: from the knee and from the hip
Bell-bottomed trousers are experiencing a new interpretation. Naive models in the style of the 70s have been replaced by elegant products made from thick suiting wool, crepe and thick knitwear.
The trend is both moderate flare from the knee for a strict office style, and monumental flare from the hip, creating the effect of a flowing trouser skirt when walking.
Palazzo trousers and wide models with pleats at the waist
Loose trousers with a straight or slightly wide cut with pleats at the waist hold the top positions on the list of trends. The main requirement for 2026 is that trousers must be long enough to practically cover the heel or massive sole of the shoe.
- Men's cut (Puddle Pants):Loose-fitting trousers with a soft fit over the shoes at the bottom.
- Banana trousers with a tapered hem:Volumizing models at the hips with arrows, tapering towards the ankle with the help of cuffs or tabs.
