Sorry, Jeans—Fashion Insiders in London are Switching Stovepipes For This Trending Trouser Style
Jeans are fine, but the coolest dressers will be wearing this trouser trend all summer.
Denim will always have its place in our wardrobes, but as we move towards summer, I’ve started to notice that there's another pair of blue pants vying for the wardrobe's top spot. Striking, but no less easy to style, cobalt blue trousers are completing some of the chicest looks around right now.
While this electric hue has been circling the runways for a few seasons now, its most compelling iteration, to my mind, comes in the form of fluid, draped tailoring.
Where jeans can sometimes read as predictable, when styled with a crisp white T-shirt, this basic two-piece feels immediately elevated, whilst remaining familiar enough to easily slot into your rotation.
Unsurprisingly, some of the season's most in-demand labels are already on board. Just this week, With Nothing Underneath unveiled a capsule collection in collaboration with Lucy Williams, which spotlighted a chic pair of cotton cobalt trousers.
Fabric-wise, there’s plenty of variety to choose from. Think airy poplin cotton styles, breezy linens perfect for the warmer months, and slightly weightier cotton iterations that lend a more structured finish.
The easiest and chicest upgrade you can make for spring, read on to discover and shop the cobalt blue trousers I'm recommending right now below.
