I want the swishy trousers of the youth but what are they?

I’m usually very unfashionable but enjoying wide leg trousers being back in fashion. There’s a particular style of trousers I’ve seen a few younger women/girls wearing, of what looks sort of like tracksuit type trousers but very silky/flowy/swishy.. I don’t want to panic the local teens by asking where they get their clothes so can anyone here tell me what they might be?

I’ve been wanting to find some soft wide legged trousers too, but as I wear a size Short I assumed they’d all be too long on me. Do these type of trousers ever come in short lengths or am I doomed to have them dragging on the ground?

Forgotten tribes have some nice ones that are on the short side.

Oh god, sorry about the monster link. It’s H&M cuffed parachute pants

I think I know what you mean, my dc call them private school girl trousers (the sort of stylish but casual and comfortable trousers that are between joggers and pyjama trousers but look much nicer than both) which probably doesn't help you much!

Ah yes - these 🤣

Thanks for additional links, I think it is the combination of ankle toggles and flowy drapey material that I’m a fan of, and have found a few possibilities from various recommendations and key words to try off vinted now (while waiting for jamzz to restock black)

@ConstantlyFuriosa those are beautiful, I love the embroidered ones, but definitely out of my price range!

Careful with the wide legged bottoms if they are long - i had a nasty fall as I got my foot stuck up the opposite let (clumsy clot!)

henlake7 · 20/09/2025 14:43

Im currently wearing a pair of the baggy parachute pants (didnt know it was a 'yoof' thing though!).
Mine came from Bershka, they have a ton of them on their site.

I have these in both colours along with the matching top. Soft, slightly silky fabric, but thick like jersey. I love them, and dress them up and down.

Take yourself to Urban Outfitters. That’s where teens go for the bang on trends…

Sorrelbird · 20/09/2025 17:58

These look amazing - I’ve just ordered them!

BestZebbie · 20/09/2025 18:39

'Yoga trousers' are often joggers but shinier, heavy fabric?

Littlemrsconfetti · 20/09/2025 18:40

H&M do them.

Yes since I got some of the keywords right a lot of the promising results on Vinted are from Urban Outfitters. Unfortunately they’re all size 8 and I’m not so might have to visit an actual shop!
