Truthfully, there are few items in my wardrobe as effortlessly elegant as my black satin trousers. With a featherlight finish and a sumptuous sheen, these trousers have an elegant essence that makes any outfit they pair with feel immediately chic.
Created from a fluid fabric, black satin trousers move beautifully when you walk—quietly contributing to their overall sophistication. So similar to luxe silk trousers—that come in at a much higher price point than satin pairs—these surprisingly affordable trousers feel expensive by association.
Lightweight and breezy, the shiny fabrication makes them look smart, but the supple composition leaves you with a finish akin to your favourite silky pyjamas.
A little less formal than wool trousers or velvet pairs, but also an elevated alternative to jeans, satin trousers can loan themselves both to casual and evening styling, available to be pulled in either direction via your styling, which makes them all the more a worthwhile investment.
While I'm struck by the light cream styles and warm brown shades that are slowly seeping onto the scene, for practicality points, I can't look past pairs in a timeless black shade. Pairing well with white tees for a simple take on daily styling, this trend looks all the more elegant with a fitted knit or fluid blouse.
A timeless buy you'll come back to season after season, read on to discover our edit of the best black satin trousers below.
