What Are Cocoon Trousers? Discover the Lisbon Fit

The Lisbon Cocoon Trousers are the kind of wardrobe essential that quietly elevates everything you pair them with. Cut in a flattering high-waist silhouette with a structured cocoon shape, these trousers bring together refined tailoring and relaxed comfort in a way that feels both modern and timeless. Available in two versatile shades — soft Beige and rich Chocolate — they offer effortless sophistication no matter how you style them.

Crafted from a blend of 60% Viscose, 35% Polyester, and 5% Elastico, these womens trousers have a gently structured drape that skims the legs without clinging. The 95cm length and cocoon cut add just the right amount of volume, while the high-rise waistband flatters the waist and balances the shape. Designed to fit UK sizes 10 to 18, they’re roomy through the hips and taper slightly towards the ankle — making them ideal for everything from a tucked-in shirt and boots, to an oversized knit and trainers.

But what exactly are cocoon trousers? This term refers to a style of trousers with a distinctive rounded silhouette — often wide at the hips or thighs and narrowing slightly at the ankle. The name "cocoon" comes from the shape: it envelops the legs in a soft, curved contour that resembles a cocoon or pod. This design detail gives the trousers a more sculptural, fashion-forward edge compared to typical straight or wide-leg pants.

Cocoon pants are especially beloved for their balance between structure and comfort. Unlike rigid tailoring or overly slouchy joggers, cocoon trousers look smart without ever feeling stiff. They’re a favourite among stylists and designers for their ability to flatter multiple body types, particularly pear-shaped and hourglass figures, as the volume in the thigh area draws attention upward and the tapered hem keeps proportions in check.

A common feature of this style is the cocoon hem — a hemline that gently narrows or tapers at the ankle, contributing to the softly rounded silhouette. This shape is often created using subtle seams or darting in the fabric, like in the Lisbon Trousers, which give a tailored effect while maintaining movement.

So why are cocoon trousers trending in 2025? As fashion continues to move toward a more relaxed, versatile aesthetic, these trousers tick every box. They’re comfortable without being casual, flattering without being tight, and they effortlessly bridge the gap between loungewear and elevated daywear. With their artistic shape and classic tones, the Lisbon Cocoon Trousers are a smart investment for your capsule wardrobe.

Pair them with a ruffled blouse like the Coco Shirt, or keep it sleek with a minimalist knit and bold jewellery. Whether you’re dressing for a creative office, a dinner date, or a weekend city stroll, these trousers will become your go-to for everyday chic.
