Fashion People Know This Shoe Trend Makes Black Trousers Look So Chic

Published 2 months ago3 minute read

While black trousers are a wardrobe pillar akin to a great pair of jeans or a fresh white T-shirt, making them look and feel exciting isn't always easy. So simple and sleek, the qualities that make them so appealing can occasionally backfire, holding your look back with a boring quality that, without the right styling, can be hard to shake. In my experience, the difference between a black trouser outfit that feels dynamic versus one that falls flat lies in the shoe trends you choose to wear with them.

Trainers can sometimes veer too casual, while tall heels feel impractical for daily styling. In Daisy Edgar-Jones's latest outfit, I've found the styling middle ground that makes these ordinary trousers feel chic every time.

Stepping out for a walk in New York, the actor wore her black trousers with a preppy pair of leather Mary Jane flats, elevating her look while retaining the effortless energy her style has become synonymous with.

Choosing a low-slung pair that hugged her at the hips before skimming the legs, Edgar-Jones's trousers fell past her ankle, blending into the rich leather Mary Janes that cushioned her step. Completing her outfit with a beige sleeveless top, she then reached for Mango's contrasting knit top (£50), to keep her colour palette pared-back and elegant and easy to emulate.

The flat shoes ensure a comfortable stride while the black trousers—already a mainstay in so many capsule wardrobes—add a soft structure to the ensemble that works so well with the smart flats. A styling failsafe that fashion people reach for across the year, this in-between period when the spring blends into summer is the perfect time of year to step into the not-too-hot, not-too-cold combination.
