After an exhilarating fashion month that concluded with a spectacular finale in Paris, I’ve taken some time to reflect on my own wardrobe. While the glamorous atmosphere of Paris Fashion Week showcased a plethora of bold trends for next summer, my attention has shifted to the street style just outside the shows. There, I noticed a growing obsession with grey trousers this October.
Spotted first on Maude Apatow outside the Miu Miu spring/summer 2027 show, her houndstooth barrel-leg trousers paired with a relaxed blazer and coordinating sweater were particularly eye-catching. This trend has been embraced by others too, with Alexa Chung effortlessly styling fitted pinstripe trousers at the Chloé show.
The trend’s momentum continued with Nara Smith showcasing low-rise bootcut trousers at the Miu Miu afterparty, and Elsa Hosk demonstrating monochromatic dressing with a utilitarian twist back in New York. The grey trouser trend is clearly here to stay, and I’ve curated a selection of the best options currently available for those looking to incorporate this trend into their autumn wardrobes. Keep scrolling to discover the must-have grey trousers for 2026!
