I'm Relying On This Ageless Trouser Trend to Make Me Look Classy and Elegant This Spring

When it comes to day-to-day dressing, I'm pretty much a jeans devotee. A high-waisted, straight leg pair just always proves to be incredibly versatile. But there are days where I'm after something a little more polished, and that's where a tailored trouser comes in.

These days, a tailored trouser isn't just for the office—our favourite influencers and editors have long proved that these subtly pleated pants can be dressed up or down for almost any occasion. And while a black trouser is undoubtedly useful, there's another colour that feels especially seasonless—beige.

Refined and oh-so classic, a beige trouser is a true wardrobe workhorse. This neutral tone can pair with so many different colours—while you can keep things light and polished by styling them with whites and creams, they can be matched with bolder tones, too. The lightness of the beige makes them perfect for wearing on warmer days, which is a real fashion blessing for someone like me who normally struggles to find a dress or skirt I love.

Thankfully, because the fashion world understands just how essential the beige trouser is, there are plenty of options to choose from, no matter how much you're willing to spend. As such a timeless style, I'd say that this is a piece you can feel confident investing in—you're sure to turn to time and time again— but there are plenty of beautifully made high-street options, too. Here, I've pulled together the very best for every budget. Happy scrolling.
