A/W14 Trousers

With the seasons changing, it's time to ditch the shorts, and invest in some trousers/leggings. I love wearing trousers, and as I'm in my final year of sixth form, I have noticed I love buying patterned trousers, either with a checked or striped print. I find these types of trousers with the cuffed end so flattering and perfect to wear with a blouse and blazer.

Below are some of my favourite trousers I found when searching the high-street stores, and in fact one pair of trousers I actually own, so I can give you a accurate review of them.

1) Pinstripe Peg Leg Trousers - Topshop - £42

These trousers are so versatile for A/W, especially as the monocrome trend has been so big this year, and it is not going away just yet. Although the price is quite expensive for a pair of trousers, I think that you would get so much wear out of these trousers, especially for work, sixth form, college or uni. These trousers would look perfect paired with a white or black blouse, blazer and some brogues for a smart look or a crop top or plain white or black t-shirt for a more relaxed, casual look. Plus, you can't go wrong with a monocrome look as it will never die out and will always look bang on trend.

2) Khaki Floral Trousers - River Island - £32

A more bold print for the more daring of you. Again, these trousers would be perfect to wear for a smart occasion. As the bottoms are quite colourful and patterned, you need to keep the top half plain and simple as the trousers are the main focus. Pair with a white crop top and brogues for a relaxed daytime look.

3) Purple Check Slim Leg Trousers - New Look - £19.99

New Look recently have been producing some great clothes, especially for A/W. When I was browsing through their website for this blog post, I could not believe the amount of trousers I fell in love with. It was so hard to choose, but I opted for these dark purple and navy checked trousers. These colours scream out A/W and again would be perfect with a blouse and brogues for work or school. Also, they are 'slim leg' which means they are quite clingy, which I love in trousers, and find it hard to discover a pair which fit me perfectly.

4) Purple Zig Zag Print Slim Leg Trousers - New Look - £19.99 

I own these trousers in this print which I purchased quite a while ago now. If you are unsure about this colour they do have them in a Blue Pattern. But, I personally preferred this colour to the blue, I have worn these trousers so much as they are so comfortable. They look just like leggings, but in fact they are trousers! They have the same material and are very clingy and tight, like leggings but have the zipper and button, like trousers. I have paired my trousers with a cream smock dress and denim coat with pumps which makes me look like I have put in a lot of effort into what I am wearing, when in fact it only took me 2 minutes!

5) Scuba Dogtooth Tube Trousers - Miss Selfridge - £25

I have thrown a pair of leggings into the mix as well, which are again in monocrome. These leggings would be perfect for a relaxed day at home, where they are comfortable but still stylish. Plus, you can easily glam these leggings up if your decide to go out. Add some black heels and a peplum top for a night out, or some Converse, baggy top or jumper for a casual look.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post. What pair of trousers are your favourite?
