When you think of Reformation, chances are you're thinking of a swishy summer dress; and while the celeb-loved brand does indeed make an excellent frock, it's also been refining its timeless basics offering lately. Case in point, the Cynthia straight-leg jeans that were pretty much inescapable on and off social media earlier this year. Now, as we're facing the UK's predictably unreliable summer, the LA-based brand has delivered a pair of trousers so superlative, it's convinced us to abandon our sundresses early.
The trousers in question are the Vida Pants, a pair you might have already spotted on your evening Instagram scroll or perhaps on an impossibly well-dressed woman in one of London's trendier neighbourhoods. Designed to sit snugly on the hips, the trousers are cut for a relaxed fit that lightly flares out at the ankles. It's simple enough, really, they're classic, timeless and versatile.

You really can't go wrong with a pair of classic black trousers, especially this low-rise pair that'll elevate every single outfit.
So what exactly makes them feel so current? Well, to start with, they're crafted from a heavyweight crepe fabric that fluidly drapes across the body and is largely wrinkle-resistant for a polished fit. It's also warmer than cotton to keep you cosy through winter. Then there's the low-rise waist that sits just below the belly button for a relaxed yet elegant fit. Of course, if you're still swearing off low-waisted bottoms, Reformation also offers the sleek trousers with a high waist.
Reformation sells the Vida trousers in a crayon box's worth of shades, from muted neutrals and pastels to striped and animal print variations. Naturally, the black trousers have proven most popular with the fashion set this season, who've already styled theirs with everything from satin tops to vests and jackets.
Incredibly versatile and evidently seasonless, the trousers are available in sizes ranging from 4 to 16, with special petite and plus-sized iterations also on offer. Meaning no matter your body type, there's a pair to fit you well. Whether you wear yours with a tank top and a silk scarf tied around your waist, as we enjoy the last few weeks of summer, style it with a smart striped shirt and loafers to the office or offset the sleek silhouette with chunky knitwear come autumn, trust me when I say, the Vida trousers will be the hardest working piece in your wardrobe. Unfortunately, its popularity also means it's selling fast, so we suggest shopping for a pair (or two) now.
