From trendy barrel-leg styles to casual cargos, these are the trousers every woman should have in her wardrobe.
Let’s face it, getting ready each morning can feel like an impossible mission, so when you simply cannot bear to think twice about what to wear but need to get out the door and look put-together, a khaki trouser is the perfect item to reach for.
“A great green trouser is so transformative for your wardrobe,” says Lucy Reber, Stylist’s fashion director. “I don’t have a favourite pair of jeans at the moment, so my khaki trousers are a real go-to.”
Lucy’s not the only one jumping on this style. Celebrities including Katie Holmes, Gigi Hadid and Zoë Kravitz have ditched their jeans recently in favour of khaki trousers, each opting for different style variations – including laid-back cargos, tailored flares and of-the-moment barrel-leg styles. It’s clear that khakis are returning to fashion’s radar.
When it comes to looking sharper than you feel, invest in a style that fits you just right, focusing on cut and hemlines. A good starting point is going back to basics, so pair your trousers with a white ribbed T-shirt, an oversized shirt and chunky leather sandals.
Whether you’re looking for a new pair of trousers for work or the weekend, there’s a khaki combo for every style and preference. Keep scrolling to see nine of our favourite finds from the high street to the high end.
