As the days grow shorter and the air turns slightly more crisp, it's time to revamp your wardrobe with the essence of autumn, and at the forefront of this seasonal transformation are trouser outfits. From tailored trousers in rich earthy tones to relaxed, wide-leg strides paired with chunky knits, autumn outfits are all about comfort and sophistication.
While there are endless autumn trouser outfit combinations you can explore, in the interest of giving you a solid starting point, I’ve focused my energy on bringing you some classic pairings that, I’m sure, you’ll largely be able to re-create with pieces already lurking in your wardrobe.
For a timeless look, opt for high-waisted trousers in tones such as camel or grey and combine them with a tucked-in blouse or a lightweight roll neck. When it comes to shoes, anything goes, from heels to boots to trainers to flats. But don’t fret—I’ll talk you through it. Scroll on to see nine chic autumn trouser outfits that will serve you well this season.
9 Chic Autumn Trouser Outfits to Try
1. Blazer + White Shirt + Chinos + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: A black blazer makes for a timeless pairing for a pair of beige trousers or chinos.
Shop the Look:
When it comes to blazers, I think the looser the fit, the better.
A classic piece that will last you for years.
The perfect transitional pair.
If you're looking to invest in a pair of ballet flats this season, these would be so versatile.
2. Leather Jacket + Knitted Vest + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: Instantly pull together your look with a top that matches the colour of your trousers. Then, add a cool finish with a leather bomber.
Shop the Look:
The brown has won me over, but this does come in classic black too.
Other Stories is always my first port of call for knitwear.
Smart casual dress code? Sorted.
3. Trench Coat + Jersey Top + Black Trousers + Boots
Style Notes: A trench coat is synonymous with autumn; I'd argue it looks its chicest worn with tailored trousers and heeled boots.
Shop the Look:
A true autumn wardrobe hero.
I just know I'd reach for this on repeat.
For all of your smart autumn occasions.
Soooo dreamy.
4. Shirt + Jeans + Trainers
Style Notes: Jeans fall under the overarching category of trousers and this look—a shoulder-robed jumper, blue-stripe shirt, jeans and trainers—presents a low-key way to style them.
Shop the Look:
You can always count on H&M for staple pieces at a great price.
Crisp and casual.
The trainers never going out of style.
5. Blazer + Wide-Leg Trousers + Heels
Style Notes: Okay, so I know we've already laid out a blazer-and-trousers look but what this outfit proves is that you should always be open to trying different colour and print combinations. Pink, brown, and snake? Beautiful.
Shop the Look:
The prettiest pop of pink.
Catch me wearing this colour a lot in autumn.
Erm, yes please.
6. Jumper + Wide-Leg Trousers + Mary Janes
Style Notes: For a relaxed trouser look, select your slouchiest pair, a loose knit and your go-to flats. Again, wearing the same colour of top and trouser can't hurt if your objective is looking sleek.
Shop the Look:
I would simply live in this.
Perfect for styling with slouchy jumpers, but you could also dress these up with a cute strappy top.
Wear these right through to winter with tights.
7. Trouser Suit + Shirt + Sandals
Style Notes: Where there are trousers, a matching suit jacket is never far behind. Further elevate a matching set with a silky shirt and minimal sandals.
Shop the Look:
I love the softness of the light beige, but there are four other colours to choose from.
Love the co-ord? There's also a matching waistcoat.
This looks like it would be a dream to wear.
I'm not ready to put the sandals away just yet.
8. Fitted Blazer + T-shirt + Leather Bermuda Shorts
Style Notes: If oversized isn't you thing, you'll be pleased to know fitted iterations are back. Make like Marilyn and wear a heritage style with luxe leather Bermuda shorts because shorts aren't just for summer!
Shop the look:
The thin belt creates a gorgeous silhouette.
A year-round staple.
Mid-rise with a relaxed fit. Stunning.
The teeny heel and pointed toe make for a very classy shoe.
9. Wool Trousers + Coat + Trainers
Style Notes: Casual and chic in equal measure, what's not to love about a wool wide-leg trouser and trainer combo? Copy Liv and opt for different tones of the same colour (in this case, grey) for a polished touch on a simple look.
Shop the look:
A short-sleeved sweater is perfect for those in-between autumn days.
There's five gorgeous colours to choose from.
This will serve you well through the colder months.
Chunky trainers will always make a statement.
