The rise of barrel jeans has proven that exaggerated shapes are in, and they're paving the way for fashion's latest arrival: balloon pants.
This daring style is going to replace your go-to wide-leg pants this spring, and we found the hottest pairs from Free People, Zara, Madewell, and more.
Similar to barrel jeans, balloon pants are defined by a billowy or even baggy silhouette that tapers in towards the ankle. They often have an effortless, bohemian flair that offers peak comfort and versatility. But you'll also see more tailored, elevated styles, too.
In short, they're incredibly stylish, totally on trend, and much cooler than basic wide-leg pants.
You'll find balloon pants in airy fabrics, classic cotton or poplin, and even denim. Pair them with ballerina sneakers in the spring if you're into trend-maxing and chic flip flops when summer comes around.
Whether or not you're a fashion risk-taker, you'll be choosing balloon pants over wide-leg pants every day this spring (and beyond).
