“You Look So Classy” Is What People Will Say When You Wear 2024's Newest Trouser Trend
As we move between the seasons I've been on the hunt for some wardrobe staples that can help me achieve a refined and elegant look, whilst providing coverage and comfort at the same time. Having settled on some spring-ready blouses and jackets, I'm now turning my attention towards the trouser department. Still too chilly for a linen pair, instead, I'm calling on the silk trouser trend to see me through the season.
Composed of a supple, luxurious fabric, silk trousers will naturally impart a sophisticated edge to a look, whilst retaining a relaxed and casual silhouette. Innately more elegant than its wool or cotton counter parts, silk trousers have become a go to way for me to add some dimension to my transeasonal wardrobe.
Balancing out the weight of a jumper or cardigan, and matching the lightness of a silky blouse or light shirt, the silk trouser trend is more versatile than you might have imagined. For an evening event, there's no combination more luxurious than a cashmere-knit-and-silk-trouser pairing, but as we move towards summer, style with strappy sandals and bandeau top for a comfortable outfit you'll feel good in all night long.
With a silk composition these trousers come with a steeper price tag than a cotton or linen pair, however, we've done the research and found some chic high-street pairs that match up on quality without the designer-adjacent cost. I've also thrown in several elegant satin pairs that will help you achieve the elevated look and a more agreeable price.
From Arket to Reformation, read on to discover our favourite silk trousers to shop right now.
