They came in a variety of colors from versatile beige to navy pinstripes and peppy pink.

Wide-leg tailored trousers ooze sophistication and polish, giving your outfit an expensive-looking touch. And there are plenty of chic options for all budgets on the market right now guaranteed to elevate even the most casual sneakers and white tee. Style them with a matching or contrasting blazer and wide-collar shirt for one seriously luxe-looking desk-to-drinks look.
