Whether you’re curating a capsule collection or simply searching for a reliable go-to, a well-chosen pair of trousers are practically guaranteed to offer timeless appeal and make getting dressed easy.

While brands such as COS, Arket, and Zara offer an impressive selection, high street favourite M&S stands out for its stylish, versatile, and well-fitted selection. My favourite pair of all? The Crepe Elasticated Waist Wide Leg Trousers, which have become especially popular amongst the style set, courtesy of their blend of comfort and sophistication.

Designed with practicality in mind, these trousers feature a high-rise, elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring, ensuring a flattering yet relaxed fit. Their wide-leg silhouette drapes effortlessly, making them an easy choice for both casual and elevated looks, but their appeal, however, lies in their versatility.

Available in navy, black, ivory, and a striking cornflower blue, these trousers transition seamlessly from work to weekend. For an effortless office-ready look, pair them with a crisp, oversized white shirt and structured blazer, and for more relaxed days, style them with a cosy knit or a boxy tee. Footwear choices can further transform the vibe — suede loafers (a major trend this season) lend a polished touch, while retro trainers bring a cool, vintage-esque edge.
