The drop crotch? Gone the way of acid wash, thankfully. At retailers like Reformation, Aritzia and H&M, we’re seeing more refined takes on the look: roomy, rounded, tapered at the ankle, but with an overall slimmer—and less droopy—silhouette. But maximalists, worry not—there are still plenty of dramatically capacious takes on the market (see: these Princess Jasmine-esque beauties at Revolve) that make a statement.
This year’s version of the voluminous pant is a fun, fresh alternative to the swooshy silk and linen styles that have been dominating the past few summers. The loose design is just as comfortable for hot weather, as it inherently allows for airflow and movement, and prevents the issue of sweaty fabric clinging to your skin. Plus, it’ll pair with everything from relaxed button-downs to boxy tees to slinky camisoles.
So if you’re open to letting this trend take shape in your wardrobe (literally), scroll on. Whether you’re searching for a beachy style with diaphanous draping or a more structured, office-ready take in the form of a balloon trouser, you can shop it below.
