Today, designer Simon Porte Jacquemus took over the Chateau de Versailles to stage his newest runway show, Le Chouchou. While compiling a list of the show's top trends, I spotted a pair of orange bloomers I knew I had to include. Upon further research, I discovered a delightful phrase for the shorts that I hadn't heard before: pumpkin pants. 

Pumpkin pants, a form of trunk hose, were a popular menswear style in Europe in the 1500s and 1600s. The Shakespearean garment features a puffy bubble hemline resembling a pumpkin (hence the name). Jacquemus updated the old-fashioned look by designing them with an extra-short hemline, but he stayed true to the tradition of styling them over tights. Keep scrolling to see and shop the top four trends from the latest Jacquemus show.
