In the peak of summer, instead of an elegant and pretty dress, a pair of lightweight, breathable long pants that also offer sun protection and shield against air – conditioned chill will make you feel more comfortable and free – spirited!These soft and fluffy white long pants have unsurprisingly become everyone’s top pick. Especially with that cloud – like pure white color, it seems to make any outfit look super stylish. No wonder people out there are calling it the “Summer Miracle Pants” and “the Pinnacle of Relaxed Vibe”.
However, compared to the regular styles that were the mainstay in previous years, there have been some new changes this year. Fashion – forward folks are all wearing this upgraded style —— balloon pants/lantern pants/fairy pants.It’s hard to settle on a single universal name for this style right now, and that’s because similar designs have been popular in various countries and regions over time. For instance, in East Asia, we can trace its earliest roots back a thousand years to China’s Tang Dynasty. It also made appearances in Central Asia’s Persian and Ottoman Empires, as well as during Britain’s Victorian era.
They’re typically loose-fitting overall with a tapered ankle—no extra bulk or hassle of getting easily dirty, unlike those baggy wide-leg pants that can feel overly cumbersome.And when you walk, they create this cute, puffy effect—like someone pumped a little air into the legs! They not only look super unique but also work wonders for hiding any unwanted bulges.
On this season’s runways, brands like ALAÏA and Chloé have rolled out plenty of designs in this style. Paired with lace inlays and sheer prints, these pieces carry a subtle touch of the mysterious, exotic bohemian vibe.
When it comes to how to pick the right one and style it, fashion models and influencers have shared their own outfit examples.
Elsa Hosk, the supermodel who’s always at the forefront of trends, is wearing a piece from HELSA—her very own fashion line. The delicate stitched ruffle details add a touch of elegance, while also creating a visual effect that cinches the waist and slims the figure.
Fashion influencer Angela Fink showed off two versions of these pants with totally different fabrics and designs. One is so thin you can even make out the outline of the pockets—giving off a soft, hazy, see-through charm.This also leads us to a natural conclusion: since the lower half is already light and voluminous, it’s best to pair it with a form-fitting, skin-baring cropped top for the upper half. This perfectly follows the “fitted top, loose bottom” styling rule.
When it comes to styling, influencers like Germany’s Beatrice Gutu and Norway’s Darja Barannik have nailed it: pairing these pants with a blazer/jacket and ballet flats. It’s sleek yet sharp—polished enough to wear straight to the office.
Take a cue from Swedish influencer Emma Fridsell: pair these pants with a soft yellow knit cardigan, and you can wear this look all the way into early fall.
But at the end of the day, when it comes to looking your best, an all-white outfit still takes the top spot—it brings an even more laid-back, cozy vibe.
So, what do you think? By now, have you fallen in love with these adorable yet stylish “Princess Jasmine Pants”?
