As we move between the seasons I've been on the hunt for some winter wardrobe staples that can help me achieve a refined and elegant look, whilst providing coverage and comfort at the same time. Having settled on some winter-ready knits and coats, I'm now turning my attention towards the trouser department. Still too warm for a wool pair, instead, I'm calling on the silk trouser trend to see me through the season.
Composed of a supple, luxurious fabric, silk trousers will naturally impart a sophisticated edge to a look, whilst retaining a relaxed and casual silhouette. Innately more elegant than its wool or cotton counter parts, silk trousers have become a go to way for me to add some dimension to my transeasonal wardrobe.
Balancing out the weight of a jumper or cardigan, and matching the lightness of a silky blouse or light shirt, the silk trouser trend is more versatile than you might have imagined. For an evening event, there's no combination more luxurious than a cardigan-and-silk-trouser pairing, but as we move towards winter, style with boots and chunkier knitwear for a comfortable outfit you'll feel good in all night long.
With a silk composition these trousers come with a steeper price tag than a cotton or linen pair, however, we've done the research and found some chic high-street pairs that match up on quality without the designer-adjacent cost. I've also thrown in several elegant satin pairs that will help you achieve the elevated look and a more agreeable price.
