As a fashion writer with a shopping addiction, there are a few lessons I’ve learned over the years. The first is that a good pair of jeans is the ultimate weapon in your sartorial arsenal no matter the season. Second, investing in a well-made jacket is the answer to any winter dressing woes (we're currently eyeing Zara's viral suede jacket), and finally, when it comes to loungewear, nothing beats the universal appeal of cashmere pieces.
It's pretty easy to see where the charm lies when it comes to cashmere, especially in the winter. Offering both comfort and warmth, the lightweight fabric is also luxuriously soft to the touch. So of course, luxury labels and high street brands have been offering a conveyor belt of cashmere creations that go far beyond the usual crew neck jumper this season. Case in point, these M&S Pure Cashmere Wide Leg Trousers that took over our minds and Instagram feeds last year, and that have just been restocked for 2025.
Much like the British high street stalwart's famed cashmere jumpers, these wide-leg trousers are crafted with soft, pure cashmere and cut for a trendy fit. With a streamlined silhouette and ribbed detailing, this loungewear staple is perfect for getting cosy on the sofa post work, but would also look perfectly at home on your errand runs or Sunday strolls.

Understated yet luxe, the cashmere trousers are available in four versatile neutral shades. Of course, pairing it with a cashmere crew neck jumper makes for an easy combo for Netflix binge watches at home, but you could also pair it with a white T-shirt and wool coat for weekend brunches or perhaps style the navy iteration with a smart button-down and blazer for a smart casual look at the office.
Soft to the touch and roomy enough for comfort, I bought my dark grey pair last winter and have enjoyed lounging in these M&S cashmere trousers on repeat since. In fact, the billowy oversized fit is trendy and polished enough that I can get away with wearing these on errand runs as well. Truly the most glamorous pyjamas I've ever owned. Grazia's fashion team is also sold (and not just for working from home days). 'I would definitely wear these cashmere trousers in the office (ours, to be fair, is the casual side of business-casual). Their gently flaring shape means they look surprisingly good with a heeled ankle boot – and you can easily smarten things up with a fine-gauge cardigan and an oversized blazer,' says Natalie Hammond, Grazia's senior fashion news editor.
The Pure Cashmere Wide Leg Trousers will undoubtedly be the perfect addition to your autumn/winter wardrobe this year. An elevated basic infused with endless warmth and cosiness, we imagine you, like us, will be wearing yours well into spring every year.
