The Anti-Jeans Trouser Trend Classy Dressers Across Europe Are Suddenly Wearing

Whilst I really do love the idea of wearing pretty, flowing dresses, truthfully, I’m much more of a trousers person. Finding trousers infinitely more comfortable, easy to style and wearable for day-to-day, they’re easily one of the most important pillars of my wardrobe rotation.

Having come to own enough black styles to see me through the next few years—and sick of reaching for the same pair of jeans over and over—this month I’m shopping the new-season trousers trend that’s suddenly everywhere. Inspired by all the elegant olive green trousers I’ve spotted on all of the classiest dressers on my FYP, I’m now on a quest to track down the perfect pair for myself.

A lighter and fresher alternative to black, grey or navy for the winter months, the fresh, natural shade has ballooned in popularity this season. An earthy motif that was spattered across the runways during Fashion Month earlier this year, the dark green hue appeared within a number of autumn/winter 2024 collections, cementing the shade as the new neutral to know.

Moddy and rich, this elegant shade styles well with other wintery tones including chocolate brown and black, but also wears well with some of the brighter shades seen throughout nature such as sky blue and amber.

Not entirely new to the scene, this emerging colour trend isn’t a far cry from the rich khaki shades we all styled on repeat only a few years ago. Unlike khaki, this olive green colour trend is a little lighter brighter, and feels fresh for winter 2024.

One of the most important trouser trends of the season, high street and designer brands are experimenting with the trend across the board right now. From Me+Em’s perfectly pleated pair to H&M’s relaxed wide-leg style, there are a myriad of excellent options on offer this season.
