The Pants To Wear This Autumn

If pants have always been your thing, you’re in luck this autumn/winter. Trousers in quite literally every iteration — wide, slim, barrel, jersey, cotton, silky — are having a moment.

These are the styles worth investing in now and wearing on repeat all season.

Elastic-Waist

Comfy, casual, yet undeniably sleek and cool. Elastic-waist pants are as much about the vibe as they are about comfort — and they deliver generously on both.

Barrel-Leg

Undoubtedly the shape of the moment, choose your type depending on what you need — elastic waist pull-ons for weekend casual wear, button-up styles for work…

If you’re scared of the exaggerated shape, don’t be, they’re more flattering on the body than they seem.

Silky

An excellent alternative to a skirt for evenings, silky pants are everything that you want in a dressy outfit but with the added bonus of unrestricted movement.

Balloon

These sculptural pants have either a cuff, elastic, tie or button at the hem, which means they give a voluminous silhouette similar to a skirt. These could be a fun new addition to your rotation, particularly for event-dressing with a heel.

Slim-Fit

These guys are the classics for a reason. No frills, no fuss, just a really great shape which lend themselves to endless styling opportunities (shirts, knits, tanks…).

Casual

Otherwise known as the “all-rounders” in your wardrobe — a casual pair of pants replaces denim as your wear-with-anything staples. Add a belt and a great flat shoe to step things up a notch.
