I’m a Fashion Editor—I Can’t Go Without This Trouser Style During The Winter

Like the perfect wool jumper, wool trousers for the winter season are simply non-negotiable. For their supremely smart silhouette—that also masterfully balances a slight slouch, a tailored wool trouser is, in my opinion, the perfect winter pant. 

With the winter months approaching, you can only make it so far in your favourite pair of jeans before the need for something sturdier sets in. Rather than layering on the thermals, wool trousers—and their naturally insulating ways, will get you through the season looking sleek and put-together, rather than bulky and overly-bundled.

Although wool is a premium material, that’s not to say that you have to spend a lot. High street retailers such as Marks & Spencer and H&M have been hard at work constructing their perfect pairs in deep black, grey melange and perfect navy, whilst The Row and Toteme’s sleek iterations are perfectly pleated for a cool, wearable silhouette that will style effortlessly with the rest of your capsule wardrobe. Whilst a wool trousers night not break the bank, they’re often not as cheap as their cotton or synthetic counterparts. For its hardy quality and insulating trait, a wool trouser will likely set you back around £100. Whilst I adore a slightly slouchy silhouette, cigarette cuts and ultra-wide leg styles exist in abundance from both our high street and designer favourites.
