Uniqlo has an entire laundry list of items that have a devoted following. Whether it's the viral Round Shoulder Bag (which, in case you missed it, now comes in a gloriously spring-ready gingham print), its much-loved AIRism t-shirts, or its PUFFERTECH Relaxed Jacket, the Japanese retailer has mastered the art of everyday essentials - including trousers.

The most popular colour, if you do want a pair of the trending Barrel Leg Trousers in khaki, you're going to have to act fast - they won't be around long. When styling, team the earthy-toned trousers with similar colours, like grey, brown and navy.
Uniqlo's Jersey Barrel Leg Trousers combine a trending silhouette with a pared-back colourway. The barrel leg, characterised by its voluminous shape that curves outwards and tapers back in at the ankle, emerged as a frontrunner towards the end of last year. I, in fact, spent the second half of 2024 writing about how great the style is, a far cry from the skinny jeans with a refreshing play on proportions.

Uniqlo's Barrel Leg Trousers also come in a lighter hue to embrace those winter whites. Style with something more colourful, like a striped polo shirt or chunky turtleneck.
Available in a trio of versatile shades, the Uniqlo Barrel Leg Trousers will easily pair with most things you already own. The off-white colour ensures maximum versatility, whether you're leaning into minimalism with an all-beige outfit or contrasting the crisp white with an injection of colour. The deep navy is perfect for pairing with a Breton stripe and sleek loafers for a Parisian-inspired ensemble. Meanwhile the olive hue would look best styled with a structured blazer and chunky biker boots for a more utilitarian look.

The final colour the Uniqlo trousers come in is this navy blue shade, complete with flap patch pockets at the back and comfortable cotton fabric.
With its on-trend silhouette, versatility and that signature Uniqlo edge, you'll soon find the Barrel Leg Trousers are the only bottoms you'll be reaching for. In fact customers are even saying they love them so much, they bought another colour. Add to that its wearable colour palette and universally flattering fit (the trousers are also available in a longer length) and you've got yourself a no-brainer investment.
