@wearetwinsetStyle Notes: If you're in need of an expensive-looking outfit that takes no longer than five minutes to assemble, you just found it. A neutral knit goes with just about anything in your wardrobe, but sized up and baggy, it looks unbeatably chic with cropped trousers and flats. For extra style points, there's something decidedly Parisian about ballet pumps in particular.

@louisahattStyle Notes: If I'm grateful for any trend that has taken off over the last few years, it would undoubtedly be the waistcoat. Whether you wear it with jeans, skirts or shorts, it always looks polished, but matching wide-leg trousers are the key to tailored perfection.
You can rewear this waistcoat again with midi and maxi skirts, or even over dresses.
Black wide-leg trousers should be considered a wardrobe staple.

@sarahlouiseblytheStyle Notes: Sarah Louise Blythe's look manages to tick off three trends at once—cardigan, slouchy trousers and mesh pumps—and it's the perfect outfit for work, play and everything in between.
These great trousers come in no less than 14 different colours.

@kristincabatStyle Notes: Dare I say it? Winter is coming, and you're going to want to invest in cosy shearling before the temperatures drop. Zara's take on the aviator jacket sells out every year, and it could be because of just how well it dresses both up and down. A case in point: the sleek ankle-boot-and-trouser pairing above.
Wearable leather boots like this never go out of style, so consider these a wise investment.

@emswellsStyle Notes: Conclusive proof that wide-leg trousers look good in every colour, we're taking notes on Emily Wells' combination of cream trousers and a black shirt [pictured above]; an inverted take on the classic black-trousers-and-white-shirt outfit that we've been relying on for years.
If you need a shirt of premium quality, With Nothing Underneath is where to go.
They might be on the pricier side, but you can guarantee that these won't go sheer.
I can't think of a single bag from The Row that I don't have on my wish list.

@monamali_Style Notes: It just wouldn't be autumn without cosy fabrics like corduroy, and I have a feeling that you're going to be seeing much more of it for the remainder of 2023. Layer up tactile textures like wool, leather and a pair of cords for a toasty outfit that's as functional as it is fashionable.
Citizens of Humanity doesn't just make outstanding jeans—there's cords too.

@daniellejinaduStyle Notes: The colour trend of 2023? Sorry Barbie, it's Oppenheimer grey, and it's most notably worn head to toe. There's no arguing just how put-together this outfit looks, and the grey wide-leg trousers are making us wonder whether there's a new style in town about to knock black trousers off the top spot.
You'll be grateful for a versatile roll neck come winter.

@styleidealistStyle Notes: If you've been wanting to dip a toe into the Y2K comeback but didn't know how to make it feel "grown up", Karina [pictured above] has the answer. Cargo trousers are the one trend we didn't predict would take over in such a big way, but when worn with a bomber and all-white trainers, I'm convinced that this is a cool-girl's weekend outfit well worth replicating.
Hands down, the coolest cargo pants I've seen in months.

Style Notes: And… relax. You've made it through another week and you're ready to chill out on the weekend, but stiff jeans are the furthest thing from your mind. They may look like pyjamas, but pinstriped cotton trousers are having a moment this year, and they're just as comfortable as any loungewear option. Finally, an alternative to casual jogging bottoms.
Trust The Frankie Shop to give us PJ pants with It-girl charm.
