6 Ways We’re Wearing Silk Trousers Right Now

9th December 2024 | By Astrid Carter

Silk trousers are a staple in the summer months but they can work really well at this time of year, too. From pairing with juxtaposing cosy knits or layering under a silk dress for old-school glamour, here are six ways we’re getting the most out of this wardrobe hero.

Look 1 – Classic white tee & blazer combo

Sleeper’s silk pyjama sets have gained a cult following to take you from bed to party but worn separately they are surprisingly versatile and low-key – even with a feather-trimmed hem. Style the pants down with the tried and tested blazer+white tee combo and add luxe accessories for a bit of polish.

Look 2 – Mix with denim

There are so many gorgeous layers of luxury that make up this look, from the silky rust-coloured pants to the polished blazer and gold jewels. But Instagrammer Yuliia’s addition of a denim shirt tied at the waist brings a whole new cool-girl feel to the look. Perfect for when you need to go day-to-night in an instant.

Look 3 – Chocolate brown & leopard print

It’s no secret that chocolate brown and leopard print are everywhere right now, and, rather conveniently, go together perfectly. Play with textures by mixing liquid silk on the bottom half with a chunky cable weave on top. A cocooning burgundy coat (another major trend for AW24) will tie the whole look together.

Look 4 – White silk & metallic finishes

Christmas party looks don’t come much chicer than this, via Zandile Benya Veron. Keep things monochromatic with black and white but opt for high-octane fabrics like jacquard and silk. Liquid-like gold accessories will add a bit of festive sparkle.

Look 5 – Layers of silk

A party look that feels as comfortable as a silky set of pyjamas? Yes, please. Take Sleeper’s Old Hollywood glamour-esque feather-trimmed dress and layer it over a pair of silk wide-leg trousers. Finish off with Zara x Kate Moss’ mini bucket bag in her go-to leopard and a silky corsage hair accessory in the hair.

Look 6 – Off-white & a pop of red

A pop of red tights or socks against this otherwise head-to-toe creamy white tone is both fun and festive. Play with proportions with cosy turtlenecks, vintage-inspired platforms and The Frankie Shop’s excellent oversized trench.
