Five types of pants (beyond jeans) that are trending this 2022

After reading the headline of this article, surely the first thing that crossed your mind was: “do I have to stop wearing jeans?” The answer is a clear “no” because jeans are that essential piece in our wardrobe, that garment we turn to when we don't know what to wear and when we want to look flattering without sacrificing comfort. However, there are other types of pants that are in style and that are worth keeping on our radar.

At this point in 2022 (and we haven't been here for long), it's more than clear that pants are experiencing a new resurgence. That's not to say that they didn't have it before, however, dresses and skirts, especially if you combine them like a fashion expert, have always tried to compete with it.

After carefully analyzing the proposals for the catwalks for spring-summer 2022, we are clear that, although jeans will always reign in our wardrobes, this season new trousers are asking for a step: from the suit, going through those with a sporty style, low shot, 'cut out'…

There are countless trends to discover and many months to experiment with these types of pants. From Vozpópuli we share some brushstrokes of the types of pants that you will want to have this 2022 and that will be the best alternative to your jeans.

Sports pants

One of the legacies of the times in which we were confined is the use of both knitwear and sportswear, which has already established itself as one of the basic trends and, therefore, , one of the most powerful of this 2022.

From Ganni to Blumarine, two of the favorite firms for those who know the most about fashion, have opted for this trend in trousers. However, that does not mean that these sports-style pants are normal sweatpants because this spring they are updated with prints such as vichy checks, or even with a zipper. Precisely on Amazon we have found a pair of trousers from the firm Oodji Ultra (€15.34), which perfectly adapts to this trend.

'Cut out' pants on the hip

Although there are classics that never fail, such as flared pants, it is clear that this 2022 will be when we will risk the most with pants. Among the most daring are those with a 'cut out' design, with slits at the waist and revealing part of the hip. A trend that has already been worn by celebrities like Bella Hadid, or the most famous of Tik Tok like Abril Cols.

Balmain and Chanel are some of the luxury firms that have bet heavily on this trend that has already reached other firms. In stores like Bershka or H&M you can already find versions similar to those on the catwalks, like this one, in black and priced at €9 from Shein.

Wide leg pants

With an apparently classic style (and therefore with an elegant touch), the 'wide leg' pants are the basic we will turn to again and again this year . They are being a success because they are straight in the leg -also slightly flared- and fitted at the waist, just enough to refine the figure and hide hips.

To go to the office, for a dinner with friends or, if you combine them with a jacket, they can even make you the perfect guest at a wedding, especially if you choose them with a stripe, like the ones we have found among the proposals from Pinko (€235).

Suit pants

Pants suits remain a perfect option for any occasion, but that does not mean that we are going to wear them in the same way as in previous seasons. This 2022 is updated with the stripe, that distinguished gesture that makes a difference. Of course, this new way of wearing the suit is not suitable for those who are allergic to ironing, although there will always be the possibility of taking them to the dry cleaner.

In the Mango sales we have found some beige trousers (€19.99), ideal for when the temperatures rise a bit and we begin to dream of spring, and that you can combine with a vest and a matching blazer.

Low-waisted pants

We saw this coming from afar, but deep down, only a few dared to wear low-waisted pants. What began as a suspicion is now a reality and in 2022 there is no excuse: the pants that triumphed in the 2000s in the Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera video clips are back to stay.

In Zara they already have this pants trend and in Vozpópuli we have signed a masculine style model that costs €29.95 and is perfect to wear with sneakers and tops.
