This winter fashion season, it's all about the colour burgundy. The warm shade is chic and flattering, while its deep, wine-red tones add warmth and sophistication to any outfit.
Case in point: Whether it's a £24 Zara midi dress or Next's £36 co-ord set, you really can't go wrong. And now, adding to our ever-growing crimson list is a stunning offering from Mango: 2-in-1 pleated trousers with the trending waistband detail that perfectly combines comfort and elegance. Coming in at just £59.99, they're a steal, if you ask us.
Let's unpack: With a suit-style design, straight leg, plus a high and double waist construction, they're giving 1980s office in the best way. The trousers also feature slim belt hooks and front pleat detailing, while the satin ribbon positioned on the second waistband adds a delicate touch.
Size-wise, the pants are available in sizes four through 14, and can be dressed up or dressed down to suit any occasion.
If you are wondering how to style the trousers — be it for your work Christmas party or evening cocktails in the city — we have a few fave options. The first appears on the model: paired with a pastel pink oversized shirt, some leather flat shoes, statement round gold earrings, and the matching straight suit jacket. (FYI, it comes at a steeper price of £89.99.)
For those wanting to lean into the burgundy trend even further, we are loving these trousers with a wine oversized knitted sweater. Don a similar footwear choice for a classic look, or switch out for some platform Dr Martens if you're feeling more '90s grunge.
