You’ve probably had enough already barrel leg trousers. This trousers with a tapered ankle has been a staple of the fashion world for over a year, but the sheer amount of options on the market can be overwhelming.
It is therefore only logical to wonder whether these classic trousers with curved legs still feel fresh after so many variations. COS However, has introduced a version that breathes new life into this, in my opinion, somewhat oversaturated style.
These barrel-leg pants from COS really go with everything in your wardrobe
Instead of opting for striking colors or designs, COS has opted for a more subtle innovation with this one cropped cotton barrel-leg pants. The Swedish brand, known for its refined interpretation of minimalist basics, knows exactly how to renew an important piece of clothing without straying too far from the understated basics.
The innovation lies in the silhouette: one wider, fitted leg in combination with a cropped modelwhich both chic and wonderfully comfortable. Although the trousers have the refined details typical of suits – think back pockets, a hook closure and a zipper – you would expect them to feel tight and restrictive. But in reality, the cotton fabric and looser fit offer just the opposite.
For spring the light beige shade an excellent choice, which combines perfectly with the pastel colors that predominate in the light knitted sweaters this season. Pair it with a pair of classic ballet flats and throw on an oversized leather bomber jacket for an easy, everyday look.
The white version would be just as striking in the summer months – although at the time of writing it has already sold out in all sizes.
The brown and navy blue variants, on the other hand, are better suited for more formal occasions. Pair them with a white blouse with ruffles and a bow detail – a style loved by Kate Middleton – and complete the look with classic pointed boots that are as comfortable as they are stylish.
