Goodbye, Jeans—I Just Tried On the High Street's Comfiest, Chicest Pull-On Summer Trousers
Denim drawstring trousers are the elegant jeans alternative that will be taking over this summer, and I've just found my perfect pair.


For most of the year, my jeans are working overtime, guiding my looks from day to night, with fresh cuts like barrel-leg and low-rise jeans bringing a contemporary feel to my nice-top-and-jeans pairings. This summer, I've been on the hunt for a comfortable yet put-together denim that will see me through the warmer months. Now, I've found them. With a bold, wide-leg silhouette, lightweight denim and a seriously chic deep indigo shade, you can expect to spot me wearing the COS Denim Wide-Leg Drawstring Trousers (£75) on repeat this summer and all the way through autumn.
There are plenty of reasons why weBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK editors frequently turn to COS. The quality is always just right, the fit is more often than not spot on, and the brand makes every single piece look like a designer purchase. Here, it's the dark blue shade and almost barrel-leg silhouette that makes these trousers look and feel so high-end, whilst the drawstring waistband brings the comfortable edge that summer dressing demands. Plus, there's also a matching denim shirt for those who love the ease and convenience of a ready-made co-ord.
Naturally, I had to try on both. The trousers fit true to size with a seriously lightweight fabric that is primed for the warmest days. As a fan of double-denim moments, I appreciate the matching denim overshirt, which has the same light feel with sweet tie sides for added design detail. The shirt is oversized, and I can picture using this as a light outer layer on the warmest days.
If you're an avid COS shopper like I am, you may have noticed that this pair has been flying in and out of stock over the past few weeks. But don't fret—I've spotted frequent stock updates, and was just alerted to yet another restock.
