Rochelle Humes Just Wore the Zara Trousers I Know Fashion Editors Are Buying Too
When it comes to unearthing the high-street's best buys, Rochelle Humes is practically an expert. Between her on-air presenting gigs and her Instagram feed (which is essentially a rolling archive of excellent outfit inspiration), she's constantly showcasing her latest affordable purchases which, more often than not, look way more expensive than they actually are. Case in point: Her new Zara trousers.
It shouldn't come as a surprise if you happen to recognise these Zara trousers, as they've been popping up on social media, specifically TikTok, non-stop over the past few weeks. An update on classic black trousers, Zara's wide-leg pair feature a contrast, fold-over waistband, which gives them a high-end feel. I first saw them on my US colleague, Eliza Huber, who styled them with some black square-toe boots and a cropped black jacket for an easy look that nods to spring.
Now Humes, who uploaded a snap of herself wearing these Zara trousers over the weekend, presents us with a new way to wear them. With a low waistline, Humes counteracts this by styling them with thick-banded underwear, a crop top, relaxed-fit blazer, and chunky trainers.
However you choose to style black wide-leg trousers, there's no denying their versatility. So, if you are looking to add another item into your spring wardrobe, these might just be the piece that will give you the most outfit milage for the season ahead.
Miraculously Humes and Huber's Zara trousers, which I've listed below, are still in stock in all sizes. Scroll on to see them, then carry on to shop more impressive wide-leg trousers that are currently on the market.
