Everybody’s Wearing Tailored Pants
When it comes to sound sartorial investments, they don’t get much better than a pair of tailored pants. Be inspired by the latest street-style looks and discover the cuts being championed by designers for the season ahead
Fashion is cyclical in nature, so, while trends do fade in and out, a few select pieces can last forever. Case in point: a beautifully cut pair of tailored pants. Timeless, chic and totally understated, the perfect pair is guaranteed to have a hallowed place in your closet for years to come.
Take The Row’s sumptuous wide-leg pants, for example: this elegant yet effortless style is ideal for cool-weather office days that call for an elevated outfit. Pair with a beige sweater, brown ankle boots and a khaki coat to create a polished aesthetic. Then, when the temperature rises, finish with a fine-knit tank top and retro sneakers for an off-duty outfit that is undeniably cool.
Another style that has grown in popularity this season is the tapered pant, championed by the likes of Loewe. The brand’s pleated wool-gabardine pants, cut in classic black, work with everything from oversized knits to crisp shirts. For a night out, dress them up with a sequined top, black blazer and pointed pumps.
Alternatively, to put a contemporary spin on classic suiting, pair your tailored pants with a graphic bodysuit, or style with a matching vest, jacket and chunky loafers to make a sophisticated statement. These elevated outfits work day or night, too – toughen up the look with lace-up combat boots and a utilitarian tote bag, or elevate pants with diamond jewels and barely-there sandals, depending on your agenda.
