I Can’t Help Being Bored of My Black Trousers—6 Chic Colours That Feel Much Fresher

My first step in transitioning my summer wardrobe into an autumn one is a the re-evaluation of my trousers collection. Having lived in light cotton dresses and skirts during the warmer months, I often find myself at the start of autumn feeling that my trousers collection could do with a little bit of love and attention.

Hoping to have a stronger start to the season this time, I’m sifting through my rails a little early this year, in the aim of identifying the looks I’ll wear for the rest of the season and where I might need to fill some gaps. What I found was a sea of black trousers and very little else. Yes, they’re chic and timeless but, let’s face it, after wearing them as often as I apparently have, they can become a little boring. So, I took to social media to see which trouser colours fashion people are wearing, not instead of black, but as occasional alternatives.
