The Best Womens Trousers Carrying Us Through The Cold

We’ve officially reached the part of the year where shorts no longer cut it. The chill is creeping in, and as we dig out our coats and contemplate layering again, there’s one piece doing the most work with the least effort: a great pair of trousers. Whether you’re heading into the office, throwing something over your tights post-hot Pilates, or just need to feel a little more put together than sweats will allow, the right pant does all the heavy lifting.

This season, tailoring is getting playful. Wide legs are going nowhere (thankfully), while pinstripes, pleats, and elevated fabrics are making the everyday pant feel anything but ordinary. Brands like COS and Max Mara are offering up polished options for work and weekend wear, while labels like Aje, Camilla & Marc and SIR. are proving that Aussie designers still do structured femininity best. For the luxury inclined, Bottega Veneta’s suede trousers or Loewe’s fluid silk pair are statement-makers built for winter rotation. And if you’re the kind of dresser who needs a little texture or colour to get through grey mornings, GANNI and Damson Madder have you covered.
