When you find a pair of trousers that makes your life simpler, you treasure them. For me, this style is a high-waisted, wide-leg from Cos in a deep burgundy. I have had them for seven years, and every time I wear them I thank my lucky stars we found each other. They make me feel like Katherine Hepburn, pulled-together yet comfortable and ready for every eventuality. The right trousers are, quite simply, style game-changers. Here, we celebrate the best wide-leg versions available to buy now.
Although wide-leg trousers have always been a style classic, offering a RELAXED ELEGANCE, they are everywhere this season. They come tailored with a front crease at Ralph Lauren and Brunello Cucinelli, NONCHALANT AND OVERSIZED via Jil Sander and Bottega Veneta, and in a range of winter-weather materials, from wool to leather to evening-appropriate satin and silk. Denim has also moved towards LOOSE-FITTING STYLES, with barrel-leg versions taking pole position. Turn to Cos, Arket and Me & Em for the best high-street styles.
For a relaxed weekend look, style yours with a T-shirt or polo shirt and loafers, or to the office with a fine cashmere knit or a crisp shirt. For the evening, dress them up with a slinky camisole top and an oversized blazer. Consider chocolate tones, which give an outfit an elevated sheen. Make sure you pack a pair for any autumn getaways too; the perfect blend of elegance and comfort, they’ll prove a life-saver that will take you from city strolls to dinner and drinks.
