Trousers may have once been simple staple to be dressed up with some statement shoes or a flamboyant top – but now, our trusty slacks are here to make some noise of their own.
The high-waisted trend is still going strong into autumn, alongside a wide leg – tuck in a light jumper or polo neck and opt for leather boot to give an autumnal upgrade.
Depending on your workplace, the major proportion of these top picks can be worn to the office. Of course, there’s no point working hard, unless you play hard too, which is why we’ve included flares, bold colours and fun materials such as satin and corduroy.
