Yes, the Spring 2027 shows are still underway in Paris, and showgoers are continuing to turn out ‘fits in the French fashion capital. While Milan street style was full of sexy workwear and London was punctuated with back-to-school vibes, the defining trend of PFW street style has been more specific and voluminous: balloon pants.
Also seen on several recent runways, this roomy, tapered-at-the-bottom silhouette has quickly become the fashion crowd’s trouser of choice across a wide variety of aesthetics. Take, for example, Tracee Ellis Ross and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson’s understated monochrome styling choices: Each style star put her own twist on a sporty version of the garment, with the former pairing the pants with a cozy knit and the latter adding a vintage Britney Spears tee for good measure.

When it comes to styling, the right footwear is key to balance out the balloon pants’ bottom-heavy appearance: The Paris street-style crowd wore them with heeled thong sandals, Tabi flats, pointed-toe boots, soccer shoes and slim brogues.
