Finding well-fitting trousers at an affordable price feels like an eternal struggle. Personally, I’ve found that if something fits snug around my waist, more often than not it’ll be too tight on my hips. And sizing up means having an awkward gap around my waist. For a long time, I swore them off and stuck to dresses and skirts.
But with all the tempting trouser trends that have ignited over the past few seasons, I’ve been forced to reconsider. From puddle pants to low-slung cargos, it feels like there are no rules in the trouser department. And according to trend forecasts, this refreshed wardrobe staple is proving just as popular in 2023.
This doesn’t scare me, because luckily, my trouser woes are in the past—all thanks to one high street brand in particular: H&M. While there’s a bit of trial and error involved, I’ve found that it’s easier to find a comfortable, beautifully-cut pair here than at any other high street store. And it caters to a wide spectrum of sizes; the Plus range goes up to a 4XL. It’s easier if I show you—scroll on for the five big trouser trends H&M is backing now.
