The Low Waisted Trouser Trend Hailey Bieber is Loving in 2026

When it comes to the style icons we regularly look to for inspiration, Hailey Bieber is always on our mood board. From her 2016-coded looks to her recent take on ‘90s polish, we’ve been avid fans of Hailey’s elevated approach to style since she stepped out in that red minidress. So, when she was spotted wearing a pair of low-waisted, straight-leg trousers this week, it became yet another look worth talking about. Especially if you, too, are growing tired of your faithful jeans.

Keeping her base simple, Hailey added interest to a white tee with pops of leopard print (in the form of a Saint Laurent Le 5 À 7 Bea and Manolo Blahnik Carolyne pumps, no less), but it was her low-waisted trousers which really piqued my interest. Over the past few months, we’ve noticed a subtle shift in trouser trends, and whilst straight-leg, bootcut and skinny jeans are still wardrobe staples, low-waisted tailored trousers with ’90s energy have been rising in popularity.

Naturally, when you think of the era’s most sophisticated dressers (Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow, we’re looking at you), a pair of low-slung trousers was usually in the picture. And whilst high-waisted trousers dominated the past few years, as fashion enters a nostalgic mood, we’re going low. From Solange Knowles’ low-rise, baggy jeans to Zoë Kravitz’s hip-grazing midi skirts, the It girls are baring their belly buttons in 2026.
