Denim Detox

I love my denim. I wear a lot of denim in the winter months. But now, as the layers peel away, I just feel the urge to wear something else, something more polished. To shake up my style a bit.

A good alternative to denim is a pair of tailored trousers. I have a few of these already hanging in my wardrobe - it’s time to dust them off!

I have them in various colours, but I will start my denim detox with a pair of black ones. The urge to wear colours is coming a bit later in the year :-)

I am going to show you a few different outfit ideas for black trousers. This pair has a relaxed fit, is high waisted and cropped. They are comfortable and so easy to put on. I love that you can show a little bit of leg without baring it all to the elements in this in-between weather.

Tailored trousers are a nice alternative to denim when you want to just spice things up a bit and want to feel more polished.

It is easy to dress up these trousers for events or for work, but it is easy to dress them down and put together a casual but chic look. You can have the level of dressiness you want. I usually like to mix casual with dressy: t-shirt paired with loafers, crispy white shirt paired with trainers. I don’t like to be over-dressed or too casual (boring). Play around with your basics!
