Balloon Pants: Rounded Trouser Volume and How to Style It

Balloon pants aka rounded trouser volume

The short version

Balloon pants are the trouser I am most curious about this season. The shape is full through the leg and gathered at the hem, so the volume is rounded instead of boxy. This edit has pairs from Reformation, Madewell, Mango and COS, including corduroy, wool and pinstripe versions. I would keep the top half fitted and let the pants be the whole story.

 

For another roomy trouser, see Taffeta Trousers and Pants, which includes balloon hems.
