Aside from the humble t-shirt, there’s no item more versatile than the black trouser. It’s an all-seasons piece, plus this year-round workhorse can easily be styled up for work, dinner and play. Basically, I’m yet to find an occasion these don’t seem to be appropriate for (well, except for the gym…). Championing the versatility of my favourite wardrobe staples, I thought it would be fun to share with you not just five, but ten ways to style these wool drawstring waist trousers from Arket.

A week of French girl style outfits

Entering my French girl era. But seriously, nothing I love more than a good stripe, and a lot of those basics I tend to wear on repeat tend to have a slight Parisian influence. Given the time I’ve spent experimenting with my style, the one lesson I always return to? That outfits don’t need to be complicated to look chic. These uncomplicated, fairly simple outfits are a reminder. Some, basic at their core, others with details that feel a bit more modern or “pushed”. Which of these five looks would you wear?
