People Who Never Follow Trends Are Relying On These 9 Polished Trouser Outfits for Autumn
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
When it comes to trainers, the chunkier the better.
