Satin Trousers Have Made Getting Dressed Easier Than Ever This Spring

If you've been keeping a close eye on Instagram this spring, you've likely spotted a laundry list of incredibly wearable trends spiking in popularity. After a winter of cosy - though the current temperatures make it harder to style now - trends (think fair isle knits), we're rejoicing in the lightweight jackets, lace midi skirts and gingham sightings, both on the grid and IRL. One staple catching my fashion eye, however, are satin trousers.

From Sleeper’s viral feather-trimmed PJs to stylish celebs like Zendaya and Kendall Jenner embracing silky, languid pyjama-esque silhouettes, satin trousers have firmly established themselves as a sophisticated alternative to jeans. Despite their relaxed, nonchalant flair - thanks to their pyjama roots and often wide-leg cuts - satin trousers remain inherently elegant, offering a polished upgrade to your everyday denim.

Where the lightweight fabric offers fluid movement, the lustrous finish allows for a luxe aesthetic. To elevate your nine-to-five look, black or brown satin trousers pair wonderfully with a matching blazer and loafers for the office while also working well with a nice top and heels for evening drinks. Alternatively, switch out your favourite barrel leg jeans for cream or white satin trousers paired with a high neck waistcoat and ballet flats for a sophisticated weekend look. For a more festive vibe, a sheer shirt or matching silk top styled with heels and plenty of jewellery is a great alternative to evenings out for cocktail hours.

As with most trending pieces, you can expect luxury brands to deliver, whether you're most tempted by Loewe or Josephs fine selection. For those of us not keen on splurging, the high street is awash with affordable alternatives. A key influencer-favourite that's been particularly beloved this season? The & Other Stories Satin Trousers in a versatile beige shade.
