Suddenly, Everyone’s Wearing This New Trouser Trend—Here’s How it Replaced Jeans

There’s a new trouser trend taking over my Instagram feed and for it’s un-done finish and effortlessly cool silhouette, I’m becoming more and more tempted to buy in.

Suddenly, celebrities, influencers and fashion insiders are styling their trousers with an exposed-boxer finish, often pairing the look with a cropped-tee or blazer for a tongue-in-cheek take on corporate dressing.

Having caught on from the runway trend which saw Miu Miu pioneer the layered look, the deconstructed style is now permeating the high street with brands such as ZaraH&M and Reformation offering their take.

Styling her take on the trend, singer Rochelle Humes, wore her trousers low-slung with her Miu Miu boxer shorts peaking out at the waist band. Wearing the trend with a longline blazer and black crop top, she paired the look with chunky black boots and minimal accessories, to let her simple styling trick carry the outfit.

With an un-done look cool enough to rival an Olsen, the beauty of the exposed-boxer trend lies in its casual nonchalance. The simple trick leans into androgynous styling, but can be accessorised to give it any number of finishes. To dip your toe into the trend, simply reach into your wardrobe for a pair of boxers and style underneath straight trousers, allowing the waistband of the boxers to poke out.
