Forget everything you thought you knew about summer trousers. Balloon pants have arrived and Hey Savi’s search data confirms they are one of the biggest fashion stories of the season.
Comfortable, voluminous and surprisingly versatile, balloon pants are the antidote to the skinny jean and British shoppers are embracing them in a big way. After turning heads on high-end fashion show runways earlier this year they have firmly hit the mainstream and the timing couldn’t be better given the warm weather sweeping the UK right now.
Hey Savi users are searching for styles in lightweight cotton, linen blends, satin and sporty nylon fabrics. Whether you’re heading to a festival, dressing for the office, packing for a holiday or just navigating a warm city day, there’s a balloon pant that works for the occasion.
The Styles Our Users Are Loving
Top of the Hey Savi search list right now are the M&S Balloon Trousers at £30. In a rich dark olive shade, they taper neatly at the ankle for a silhouette that feels modern and flattering without being fussy. Lightweight enough for warm weather and polished enough for an evening out, they work with everything from a fitted top to an oversized shirt to simple white trainers. At £30 they are one of the smarter buys of the summer.
For those watching the budget, New Look has an impressive option at just £17. The green cuffed balloon trousers are some of the best value on the market right now and make for a great low-risk way to try the trend before investing in more pieces.
Worth Knowing: Barrel Pants
If you love the look but prefer a leg that doesn’t taper at the ankle, barrel pants are the style for you. They share the same relaxed voluminous shape through the thigh and hip but keep a wider leg all the way down. River Island has one of the strongest ranges on the high street right now including a £39 brown cotton poplin option that is selling fast.
