Is it just me, or do trousers seem to be dominating the trends more than ever before? In 2022, phrases like ‘wide leg’ and ‘puddle pants’ hovered constantly at the tip of our tongues, and this year, our vocabulary has grown to include even more specific trouser styles. Cargos, joggers and low-slung waistlines have all shimmied their way into the spotlight, occupying a record-breaking portion of our SS23 trend guide. While pulling it together, we found out that trouser searches on Lyst leapt up 55% post-Fashion Month, according to Morgane Le Caer, fashion expert and content editor at Lyst. It’s not just me, then; trousers are evidently in their element this year.
