This Autumn Alternative To Blue Jeans Is Already Favoured By The Fashion Crowd
By Sarah Macken
These red trousers from COS, Mango and Le Bon Shoppe are the perfect alternative to blue jeans …
As much as we’re betrothed to classic blue jeans we’re always on the lookout for a good alternative. All summer long we’ve seen stylish dressers sporting lightweight red trousers with statement pockets and distinctive cropped lengths. Surely, it’s a summer fling? Apparently not. The trend is holding strong for autumn. Albeit, the fabrications are more appropriate. Think: cotton-canvas trousers with elasticated waists (ideal for the school run or for a dash to the shop), barrel-leg jeans and even cropped bootcut styles, all in zinging shades of red.
On the high street, they’re being styled with heather grey T-shirts or button down cardigans, but we like the idea of them teamed with a raglan style, long-sleeved T-shirt for a transeasonal look with a difference. As well as being striking, these trousers have a pull-on-and-go quality that appeals. According to New York brand Alex Mill, it’s personified as a “just running errands but if I happen to run into four people I know at the grocery store, I wouldn’t be mad about it” energy. We approve.
Dissh’s barrel-leg cotton pants are a perennial favourite on our feeds.
