The Classy Pants Trend I'm Seeing All Over Paris, Lisbon, and Copenhagen
What's more polished than your favorite pair of jeans but just as comfortable? Wool trousers; no joke. Our most stylish muses across the pond are already well aware. Lately, we've spotted folks wearing gray wool trousers throughout Europe, particularly in the fashionable cities of Paris, Lisbon, and Copenhagen.
Whether you plan on wearing them with flats, boots, or pumps, trousers look especially polished when tailored to fit. And, as an added benefit, wool is much warmer than denim, making it a perfect choice for the blustery winter weather right around the corner. But the key to making wool trousers work for your wardrobe is choosing the most versatile color, which, in our opinion, is gray. Smoky charcoal, slate, or stone, several shades can be seamlessly integrated into a weekly rotation.
Keep scrolling to see how to style the classy trouser trend, then shop for the perfect pair of pants or two to try out this winter. Pick a pull-on style, or choose a pair that is part of a suit set. Either way, adding a belt is optional.

Lightweight flannel sounds so cozy and looks impressively stylish.
