The Non-Dated Pant Trend To Wear With Classic Pumps in 2026

In parts of the U.S., particularly along the East Coast, where temperatures remain below freezing for weeks, spring might not seem close. However, the spring equinox is almost a month away. That said, smart shoppers should begin preparing their wardrobes for the winter-to-spring transition. While many key pieces are needed to make this shift seamless, one of the most important to own is a pair of elegant pants. To avoid outdated styles this spring, opt for split-hem pants paired with classic pumps rather than wide-leg trousers.

If you’ve been following Who What Wear’s recent trend stories, you know wide-leg styles are being replaced by sleeker, slim-fit designs. Over the weekend, for a birthday party, Selena Gomez highlighted this change by wearing straight-leg, split-hem pants. She donned the trousers with a belted leather jacket and pointed-toe pumps. To complete her all-black outfit, she opted for a crinkled-leather Prada tote and retro-inspired round sunglasses.
