Most social media trends aren't made for real life. Case in point, those absolutely ginormous red boots. But occasionally, something that looks great on the 'gram can also become a wardrobe cornerstone that's low-effort but high-impact. And on that point, I give you: silver trousers.
Sweetie wrapper-shiny, and usually made of faux or real leather, these are often spotted on the fashion month circuit. At Copenhagen Fashion Week, Amelie Stanescu wore her mock-croc pair of silver trousers with another street style-staple, an oversized biker jacket that looked like it had done several thousands miles, and a sleek black polo neck. Swap the biker jacket for a blazer, BTW, and you could easily head into the office if you work somewhere with a smart-casual dress code.
They've also found a fan club on Instagram. Stylist Bronagh Meere posted a picture of herself wearing a pair of sought-after silver trousers from Warehouse. Not only did it get 11,000 likes, but it generated a lot of chat. 'Those trousers. I want!!!!' said one user. 'I dream of those silver trousers,' commented another. Clearly, silver trousers are quite the conversation-starter.
The best thing about a bottom half that has such main character energy is that the top half can sit back and relax. A denim jacket, a white tree or a grey cashmere sweater will dial down the mood so that you're left with an outfit that's punchy but polished. Sound good?
