Every fashion lover knows the elegance and functionality of brown trousers. This piece is a style staple for those seeking an autumnal, versatile, and, of course, elegant garment. However, before investing in a baggy design, you’d better set your sights on the skinny silhouettes, because if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the latest street style offerings, it’s that early 2010s fashion has made a comeback without asking for anyone’s permission.

This means that pants with a slim fit will be totally on-trend for autumn/winter 2025. Brands like Coperni, Acne Studios and Hermès have included them in their collections. Leather-effect pants, suede, check-patterned garments… They are presented with high waists that look good on everyone, a puddle hem to add some flair to the legs and different shades of brown to ensure an impactful look.

With the popularity of brown shades this year (see how to style brown jeans here), black trousers will be in the background. The best-dressed among us have paired brown skinny trousers with elegant shoes like pumps, square-toed shoes and even kitten heels. If they’re already part of your closet and have been tucked away for years, it’s time to show them off! Here’s some inspo.

For this season, it’s best to leave aside the classic matte black biker pants and go for brown designs that are more in line with the season’s dress codes. Leather has been present on the catwalks of Hermès, Burberry and Khaite, to name a few. The best way to wear these trousers is with square-toe heels that contrast with the look. Very Bottega Veneta. Add a boho blouse along with a faux fur coat, and you’ll look completely on-trend.
