There are certain items of clothing which, thanks to their practicality, comfort and detailing, embody one season better than another. And this is certainly true of long trousers, which this autumn 2026 are set to take centre stage in our outfits.

There are countless styles to choose from; they suit every body shape and allow you to create ever-changing looks and styles. From straight-leg styles – a sure-fire choice – to high-waisted ones, joined this year by lower-waisted styles, right through to tailored cuts and looser fits. The good news? There’s no need to overhaul your wardrobe. Simply choose the styles – two or three will do – that best suit your style and mix them with your other autumn pieces to create ever-changing outfits to show off both day and night. Let’s take a look at them together.

Autumn 2026 trousers: wide-leg

A wide, straight cut that flares out along the leg, creating a ‘voluminous’ effect – or at least in the lower part of the silhouette. These are wide-leg trousers, the star pieces of the season. We’ve always known them as high-waisted, but this year they’ve also made a comeback in a low-waisted version, and they go with everything. Wear them with a shirt tucked in, a loose-fitting jumper for a relaxed look, or a crop top paired with a jacket for an evening out.

Barrel trousers: this season’s new trend

They first made a name for themselves last winter and were particularly popular in their denim version. This autumn, however, barrel trousers are all the rage and can be worn at any time of day or night. Their distinctive shape, which widens at the centre, immediately gives the impression of an effortless piece which, when paired with the right items, creates unexpected and super-glamorous looks suitable for any occasion.

Straight-leg trousers: the great classic takes centre stage once more

Those who don’t feel like taking risks with shapes and volumes can rely on a great classic which, once again this autumn, takes centre stage. We’re talking about straight-leg trousers: easy to wear, versatile and perfect for both day and evening. They can be paired with a shirt for the office, a jumper, a blazer or a simple T-shirt to create an all-day outfit.

Autumn flared trousers

Last but not least are flared trousers. Slightly flared from the knee down, these extremely versatile styles allow you to create a whole host of looks, from the most elegant and romantic to more contemporary and casual outfits. Pair them with a simple jumper or top and finish off the look with a jacket: you won’t need anything else to achieve the perfect autumn look for the office and your free time.
