As a fashion editor, I’m always looking at looks and keeping up with the trends of each season. This gives me an advantage in knowing which investments are key. And I have no doubt that these will be the pants of the fall: flattering, elegant and versatile.
Sophisticated and easy to match, these pants have become an essential piece in my capsule wardrobe. They have the most flattering cut. They go with any type of shoe, from ankle boots to sneakers. And, last advantage: being beige (a neutral tone) they go well with any other color , which means I can create many looks with them.
WHERE TO FIND THE MOST FLATTERING WIDE LEG PANTS
After trying on more than ten pairs of trousers (I’m not exaggerating), this Mango model was the one I chose. I liked it because of its fluid and light fabric, perfect for the transitional season. It also has an elastic waist, which makes it very comfortable. And it’s wide leg, but not too baggy.
What color dress pants are in fashion?
Neutral colours are the winners this year, with quiet luxury still the big bet among fashion experts.
The other favorite shade of street style is navy blue, as elegant as black but much brighter.
Let’s start with our choice: beige dress pants. You can choose the shade that best suits you, leaning towards off-white or camel.
Every capsule wardrobe also needs a pair of black suit trousers, to be worn as a total look or with garments in opposite tones, playing with contrast.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE WIDE-LEGGED DRESS PANTS THAT ARE IN TREND THIS AUTUMN?
- Choose a high design with the leg just at ankle level, two tricks that stylize the leg.
- Tweezers help to enhance verticality and therefore also help.
- Avoid overly large pockets. Instead, opt for a simple design with clean lines.
- Always mark your waist and leave it visible. Otherwise, the silhouette may look disproportionate.
HOW TO COMBINE WIDE DRESS PANTS IN THE OFFICE
For going to the office. This look by Anouk Yve is my reference for wearing wide-leg trousers to work. It’s about letting them be the centre of the outfit and combining them with extremely simple items that we all have in our wardrobe: a black blazer, a cotton shirt and a shopper bag.
Style tip: Choose low-cut ballet flats in a similar shade to your trousers, ideal for stylising your legs without the need to wear heels. You’ll find shoes very similar to Anouk’s at the Spanish brand Quiero unas Bobo’s.
HOW TO WEAR WIDE-LEG PANTS IN A DINNER-OUT LOOK
We love the total look version, with a matching waistcoat. This type of waistcoat is a hit this year, and is already a best-seller at Zara: fitted, with a closed collar and rather long.
The key accessory: A handbag in a colour that creates a powerful contrast. A resounding yes to the combination of beige and emerald green.
How to wear OVERSIZED SUIT pants at a family meal
The great thing about beige suit trousers is that they can easily go from a “demure” look to a preppy style. Just pair them with a bow blouse and a logo belt. Animal print ballet flats add a touch of risk.
A surefire combination: Beige and baby blue create a beautiful contrast. The perfect harmony between a warm and a cool tone.
HOW TO WEAR PLEATED PANTS FOR A BRUNCH
Wear it with loafers and a printed shirt (checkered is back this fall, not in a lumberjack version but in a 60s version). Round off the outfit with a classic bag. Here we make a list of the favorites among those who work in fashion.
The key detail: Mark the waist, essential for wide-leg pants to fit well. A thin belt will be your best ally.
How to wear wide-leg dress pants for a Saturday night out
We took inspiration from this style by Darja Barannik, an expert in wearing wide-leg trousers. The secret is to play with the range of earthy colours and to counteract the formality of the suit trousers with more urban garments, such as a white cotton T-shirt and a leather jacket.
The finishing touch: As is almost always the case, it comes via an accessory. The satin high heels in chocolate brown elevate the final result.
