Although the trends point to a low waist, waist-high pants will always be a safe value for a simple reason, they are very flattering and are much more elegant. Therefore, it is not surprising that each season they proliferate in the catalog of our favorite stores, although adapting, of course, to the trends of the moment.
This season the silhouettes are in style barrel, flare and we will even experience a small resurgence of the flattering paper bag. Very different styles from each other that, however, fit perfectly with the high waist and with a particular shoe that returns this fall 2026 with as much force as a decade ago. We are talking about ankle boots with thin heels and pronounced toes, great allies for adding centimeters and lengthening the figure.
