Dressy yet casual trousers

The drawstring trousers are the ultimate choice when you can't decide whether you want to wear a casual or dressy outfit. An elasticated waist may seem a little too comfortable, but it is both practical and the press pleats provide a smarter feel. Beige trousers are a great addition to the spring wardrobe thanks to the light colour, and pairs perfectly with other earthy tones such as brown, beige, white or grey, as above.

The Mateo trousers from Filippa K are created in a triacetate blend with a slightly glossy texture that opposes wrinkles. The trousers offer a perfect balance between comfort and style, ideal for both formal and casual occasions. Belt loops, press pleats and welted rear pockets give these trousers a dressed-up feel. Combine the trousers with a pair of sneakers for everyday use or a pair of black loafers for a function or gathering.
