With just a month until spring, it feels like the weather is finally starting to warm up here in the UK. But before I pull my linen out for those really hot summer days to come, I’ll be turning to satin trousers as an elegant alternative to the tailored wool pairs I stay loyal to throughout autumn and winter. Bringing an undeniably sophisticated edge to a look, all whilst retaining a silhouette that can work for both casual and formal occasions, my black satin trousers have become one of my most reliable wardrobe staples. And although I’ll still be reaching for these to dress up my boxy tee and ballet flats for the office, for spring 2026, I’m also on the hunt for some fresher colours to add to my wardrobe.
Now, as a minimalist, adding colour to my wardrobe always feels like a daunting task, but the good news is that 2026 is filled with plenty of elevated hues that still feel wearable, versatile and within my comfort zone. Think expensive-looking burgundy shades that add an instant sense of warmth to an outfit, to elegant butter yellow hues perfect for the upcoming spring season. And to help you decide, below I’ve rounded up the seven chic satin colour trouser trends that I’ll personally be investing in for 2026 (and beyond).
Keep scrolling to discover the seven elevated but elegant satin trouser colour trends to try out in 2026.
7 Elevated But Elegant Satin Trouser Colour Trends to Try in 2026
1. Butter Yellow
Style Notes: Butter yellow has been trending for a few years now, but it feels no less fresh for 2026, especially in sleek satin fabrications. A warmer alternative to white, this shade will pair just as well with neutrals such as black and chocolate brown, whilst providing a subtle touch of colour to an otherwise basic outfit. I’ll personally be pairing it with my black fitted tee and leather flip-flops for casual spring days out.
Shop the Colour Trend:
An investment pair that you'll keep forever.
I'd style mine exactly like this.
If in doubt, go paler.
2. Midnight Blue
Style Notes: Arguably the closest shade to black, navy is the satin trouser colour to try if you want stray away from your neutrals without feeling too out there. It’s elegant, easy to wear, and not to mention, it will pair well with minimalist and bold colours alike.
Shop the Colour Trend:
I'm very into this super wide=leg.
How gorgeous is this chocolate brown and midnight blue colour combo?
This slightly cropped pair is perfect for showing off sandals in spring.
3. Toffee
Style Notes: I love a deep brown hue as much as the next person (more on that later), but I’m also looking for a shade that will stand out as opposed to blend into the background of an outfit. Toffee brown acts as the perfect alt on those days when I want something slightly brighter than black or espresso, but still want to remain true to my neutral colour palette.
Shop the Colour Trend:
Just so chic.
The comfy drawstring waist makes these perfect for casual days.
Wear with a white tee and loafers now, then a tank top and strappy sandals come summer.
4. Cream
Style Notes: I’m well aware that cream is not technically a colour trend, but as someone who practically lives in black, charcoal grey and brown, it’s still a fresh hue that will brighten up my 2026 wardrobe. Timeless and effortlessly sophisticated, cream satin trousers are an elegant alternative to linen trousers that KI’ll be pulling out for those dressier occasions.
Shop the Colour Trend:
I'll never say no to a barrel-leg silhouette.
These will go with everything.
The flared leg makes these look way more expensive than their price tag.
5. Espresso Brown
Style Notes: I couldn’t do a colour trend round-up and not include espresso brown. This classy hue is one that we typically see in autumn and winter, so it will look especially refined throughout the warmer months. Not to mention, it will pair well with lighter hues such as cream and butter yellow without feeling quite as stark as black.
Shop the Colour Trend:
I want the matching top as well.
I'll be trying out this head-to-toe espresso look as soon as the weather improves.
Balloon pants are a big trend this season.
6. Burgundy
Style Notes: Somewhere between chocolate brown and bold red, burgundy is an expensive-looking hue that will add a touch of elegance to every outfit. Of course, it will pair well with a white tee and sandals in the day, but I personally plan on wearing it with a cream satin blouse and kitten heels for spring evenings out.
Shop the Colour Trend:
Just the right amount of slouch.
The logo pattern is instantly recognisable.
These look way more expensive than their £30 price tag.
7. Cherry Red
Style Notes: Cherry red might initially feel quite daunting, but it's actually a suprisingly easily colour to incorporate into a minimalist wardrobe. It pairs just as well with black, white and cream as it does with bolder colours and patterns, and is sure to earn you loads of compliments. A satin trouser co-ord in this eye-catching hue is the easiest way to wear it; however, if that feels too out there, try styling it with a black tank and sandals.
Shop the Colour Trend:
Liberowe never disappoints me.
Such an easy way to inject colour into your outfit.
No notes.
