Trust Me – You’re About To See Uniqlo’s Knitted Trousers On Every Stylish Woman This Autumn

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of linen. Sacrilegious, I know, but with that Greek Island holiday now a distant memory and summer firmly behind us, it's officially time to stow away your linen trousers for good. However, this doesn't quite mark the end of comfort, for you see, reader, it's time to invest in some cosy knitted trousers instead. We're talking ribbed, slouchy, and warm designs, often with a drawstring waist.

Last winter, it was the M&S cashmere trousers that took over our feeds and wardrobes, but given it's just a bit too warm for those just yet, we've been on the hunt for a lightweight alternative that's just as cosy and perfect for autumn. So when Uniqlo launched its Washable Knit Ribbed Trousers, we were understandably hyped.

Much like the high street retailer's viral zip-up jacket and easy barrel-leg jeans, these knitted trousers are crafted with an understated yet considered design. With ribbed detailing and a slouchy but streamlined silhouette that lengthens the legs, the trousers are perfect for getting cosy for an evening of Netflix, but just as comfy for a weekend walk.

Lightweight and fashion-forward, the rib knit trousers are the kind of loungewear staple that's so simple to pair with just about any outfit. They're also available in five versatile neutral shades that'll slot seamlessly into any wardrobe. Little surprise then, that they've started gaining popularity on the internet lately, with many of our favourite influencers providing style inspiration.

The easiest way to style the knit trousers is, of course, with the matching knitted ribbed polo jumper, but pairing it with a white-T-shirt and cardigan is another excellent combo that'll work for errand runs, coffee catch-ups, and airport looks alike. In fact, if your office, like ours, errs on the casual side of smart-casual, you could style the knit trousers with a crisp button-down and a blazer. If you're after a more polished pair to add to your workwear rotation, the Washable Milano Ribbed Trousers make for a sleeker alternative that's just as cosy. Alternatively, you could lean into the warmth with the cable knit iterationinstead.

Indulgently soft and fluid enough for comfort, this is one elevated basic you'll find yourself returning to time and again. A glamorous take on your comfiest pyjamas, trust me when I say, Uniqlo's knit trousers will be flying off the shelves soon.
