Everyone knows the appeal of satin pants: The style is elevated and comfortable in equal measure, making the look fitting for a range of occasions. This summer, another luxe yet practical trouser entered the chat — and it shows no signs of slowing down come fall. Enter taffeta pants, the industry’s latest obsession.
Taffeta pants are recognizable by their lustrous finish and crisp, slightly structured silhouette. Typically reserved for eveningwear, the fabric has long been a fixture on gowns and party dresses. Now, designers are making a strong case for bringing taffeta into daytime territory with a fresh crop of trousers. Chan Luu has become a go-to destination for the look, carrying the style in colors ranging from bubblegum pink to sage green. Donni, too, has put a playful spin on the trend, offering taffeta trousers in shades like cloud blue and patterns including polka dots.
When it comes to styling taffeta pants for fall, it’s all about balance. In other words, offset the high-shine fabric with a soft cashmere sweater or denim button-up. Or, for dressier occasions, dial up the drama with a silk top.
