The spring season is almost upon us, and although I cannot wait to get my linen trousers back out for the next few months, the truth is that they often feel just a little too dressed down for my liking when it comes to more formal occasions. I’ve therefore decided to look ahead to the trouser trends that will dominate spring 2026 to add to my wardrobe for the new season.

Now, if you’re more of a pared-back dresser like me, adding some of those trendier pieces into your wardrobes can often feel daunting. But fear not, as the spring/summer 2026 runways were packed with trouser styles that remain fresh for the new season but feel wearable and easy to style. And the best part? They’re all trends that will stand the test of time in your wardrobe, meaning you’re sure to get your money’s worth of wear out of them.

From chic capri pant styles that will pair well with a button-down shirt and kitten heels to playful polka-dot iterations that perfectly toe the line between trendiness and classic appeal, below, I’ve rounded up the seven trouser trends that I’ll be adding to my spring 2026 capsule wardrobe.
