Chloë Sevigny Wore the Pant Trend Everyone's Swapping Skinnies For
Chloë Sevigny has been our style queen since pretty much forever. So when she makes an appearance, we tend to take notes. Recently, Sevigny braved the crazy-cold temperatures last week in New York City, wearing a lush winter look comprised of navy tuxedo-striped trousers, a fluffy black coat, and a playful bag. And while mixing black and blue is not breaking any fashion rules, it can be challenging to pull off.
But then again, if anyone can make a fashion statement in mismatched trousers and a topcoat, it's Sevigny. So this is your sign to give your blue jeans a break and try out this wide-leg style that is trending this season. It looks much more elevated, and if it's super cold, you can always wear long underwear underneath. (Trust me on this.)
Keep scrolling to check out wide-leg pants that we think would be Sevigny approved. Stick with basic black, mix it up with navy blue, or have fun with pinstripes and pretty fabrics. Bonus points if you get 'em tailored to fit perfectly with your favorite stacked-heel boots.
