I don’t own a single pair of jeans, which means trousers form a good portion of my wardrobe, especially throughout the autumn and winter. Once, tailoring meant sticking to the classics but those days are long gone. Now, there’s a whole spectrum of styles to explore – from fluid wide-leg silhouettes to sculptural barrel shapes, luxe satin finishes to leather cuts. Having such variety gives me the perfect excuse to experiment and try different styling combinations. I love rotating pieces depending on my mood, the occasion or what look I’m going for. Each style has its own charm but they all have one thing in common: they make getting dressed feel considered, polished and effortlessly stylish. Here are my top five styles…
Barrel Leg
I’ve fallen hard for barrel-leg trousers – they’re hands down my favourite style at the moment. There’s something about the bold, sculptural shape that makes even the simplest outfit feel instantly elevated. The exaggerated silhouette adds polish without trying too hard, and I love how it gives an outfit that extra dimension you just don’t get from a straight or wide leg. They manage to feel both modern and timeless.
Jogger
I love how polished joggers can now be worn anywhere, from the office to a bar. With a tailored cut and luxe fabric, they have all the comfort of a classic jogger but feel completely elevated. I pair them with a blazer and kitten heels for a modern, off-duty look, or with a crisp shirt and 80s style courts for something unexpectedly smart. It’s proof that comfort doesn’t have to mean compromising on style.
Wide Leg
Wide-leg trousers are one of those pieces I always reach for. They effortlessly elongate my silhouette and make every outfit feel that little bit more considered. I love pairing them with a fine knit top or fitted shirt to balance out the proportions. Comfortable, polished and versatile, they’re a staple I know I’ll come back to season after season.
Leather
Leather trousers are the ultimate investment piece – they simply will never go out of style. I veer towards high-waisted or wide-leg styles as they are the most flattering for my figure. They’re the kind of wardrobe staple I know I’ll wear for years to come, and each time I do, they feel just as relevant as the first day I bought them.
Satin
Satin trousers feel like a little luxury in my daily rotation. Their fluid, polished finish elevates any outfit, while still being comfortable enough for everyday. I love them with an oversized jumper and boots in the day or a bralet and heels for the evening. They have that timeless versatility that makes them feel like a smart investment.
