Winter brings trousers in rich textures, deep earthy shades, and silhouettes that offer more volume and comfort. Leather, corduroy, and checks refresh your everyday looks, while chocolate and grey tones elegantly replace classic black. Below, you’ll find six suggestions to elevate your style.

♥︎ Chocolate and caramel shades

Chocolate and caramel shades add warmth and depth, brightening up your winter look.

They work as a modern new neutral, pairing effortlessly with ecru, camel and denim.

From straight-leg styles to wide-leg trousers, you’ll find brown in every silhouette this season.

✔ How to Wear It

To the office: Pair chocolate-brown straight-leg trousers with an ecru knitted turtleneck and tan loafers. A structured shoulder bag completes the outfit with understated elegance.

For a stroll around town: Wear brown wide-leg trousers with an oversized camel sweater and white sneakers. Add a wool cream-colored scarf, as a monochrome palette in earthy tones keeps the look relaxed without sacrificing sophistication.

♥︎ Grey in every shade

Grey is back in a big way, from soft heather grey to deep charcoal.

Stitched lines with pleats and subtle stripes add a tailored feel, even to the most comfortable pieces.

It pairs just as well with white, navy blue or a touch of burgundy.

✔ How to wear it

To the office: Try charcoal pleated trousers with a white shirt and black loafers. A long grey coat draped over your shoulders creates an elegant tonal outfit.

For the weekend: Pair grey melange trousers with a navy knit and white sneakers. A burgundy wool beanie adds the necessary pop of colour and brings the look to life.

♥︎ Leather texture from morning to night

Leather trousers are no longer just for nights out—they’ve become a wardrobe staple for everyday wear.

Beyond classic black, shades of brown, camel and toffee add warmth.

Their glossy texture pairs beautifully with soft knits and lightweight fabrics.

✔ How to style it

For the office: Wear brown leather trousers with a cream knit and pointed-toe pumps. A leather handbag in the same shade ties the look together beautifully.

For an evening out: Pair black leather trousers with a sheer blouse and ankle boots with kitten heels. Add gold earrings to brighten your face and soften the boldness of the leather.

♥︎ Corduroy with a retro feel

Corduroy brings a warm, retro aesthetic inspired by the ’70s.

Find it in shades of caramel, olive and wine, as well as in fresh silhouettes like flared and balloon styles.

Its textured finish makes even the simplest outfit look put-together.

✔ How to wear it

For coffee with friends: Pair caramel-coloured corduroy flared trousers with a white shirt and suede ankle boots. A belt with a metal buckle accentuates the waist and adds to the retro feel.

For the weekend: Wear olive corduroy trousers with an ecru knit and loafers. A brown tote bag keeps the palette earthy and harmonious.

♥︎ Plaid in classic styles

Plaid is refreshed with subtle tonal combinations in brown, gray and beige.

Wide lines, pleats and a belt evoke menswear tailoring with a feminine touch.

It’s the easiest way to add a pattern to your winter looks.

✔ How to Wear It

At the office: Pair brown plaid wide-leg trousers with a beige knit and loafers. A camel shoulder bag completes the outfit for the ultimate quiet luxury look.

For a city stroll: Wear gray plaid trousers with a black turtleneck and chunky loafers. A leather jacket adds a cool, urban touch that breaks up the pattern’s classic feel.

♥︎ Curved barrel fit

The barrel fit widens at the thighs and tapers at the ankle, creating a modern, sculptural silhouette.

It combines the comfort of wide-leg trousers with a cleaner, more polished look.

Available in fabric, corduroy, and even leather.

✔ How to wear it

For the office: Pair grey barrel-leg trousers with a fitted black knit top and pointed-toe ballet flats. The fitted top balances the volume and highlights the silhouette, while a small shoulder bag keeps the outfit understated.

For the weekend: Wear khaki leather barrel-leg trousers with a white T-shirt, a cropped jacket and sneakers. A crossbody bag keeps the look practical and laid-back.
