For many, trousers can either feel blah as heck or overly complicated. I find that when you throw on a pair with a simple t-shirt or knit and a great shoe, you look perfectly polished, but with ease. I have two go-to silhouettes: a high-rise trouser — a paperbag waist being my favourite for a superflattering (and slightly dramatic) fit — and a slim black pant that's a more elevated take on black leggings. When you want to switch things up from jeans, both of these pant styles make an impact when you keep the rest of your look simple.
