Update your tailored silhouette this season by playing with proportions

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 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 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 The brand’s pleated wool-gabardine pants, cut in classic black, work with everything from oversized 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 and a utilitarian tote bag, or elevate pants with and barely-there sandals, depending on your agenda.
