Every Stylish Person I Know Owns These Trousers

Whilst there are those who slip into a silky satin skirt on any given day or rely on a throw-on dress for instant polish, I’ve always been drawn to trousers. Seven days a week, I find myself switching between fluid satin trousers, floor-skimming denim and of course, perfectly tailored trousers. As soon as tailored trousers expanded their reach beyond the workwear uniform and into our everyday attire, stylish people took note. And ever since, this particular style has been a staple in every great capsule wardrobe around. Now, I’ve set myself the challenge of hunting down the best tailored trousers around.

Personally, I don’t think that tailored trousers get enough praise. Moving seamlessly through various occasions, this wardrobe foundation is a failsafe every time. Heading out for coffee? Pull on a smart wide-leg pair with an easy T-shirt and bomber jacket. Getting ready for a sophisticated night out? Layer in a satin top and a pair of elegant heels. From work to play, this piece seamlessly moves from relaxed to formal in an instant. As a shopping editor with almost a decade of experience, I figured I should put my expertise to use and bring together the very best styles in one concise edit.
