If you're struggling to get out of bed on these very frosty January mornings, then you're not alone. The temperatures have well and truly dropped and the last thing we want to do is stand in front of our wardrobe, freezing in our undies and stressing over what to wear to the office. Luckily, Next has just dropped a pair of wide-leg trousers that look smart and stylish, but are as comfy as joggers. Oh, and that's before we mention they come in this season's trendiest colour: burgundy.

As well as coming in the rich, red-brown hue that's truly taken over our fashion lives of late, these wide-leg pants are also available in sage green – an equally trendy shade. To contrast those colours, the trousers feature white striping down the sides – a detail that's not only super flattering but gives them a stylish, sportswear look.

The trousers are made with a soft, smart fabric (which sounds so cosy for these cold winter months!), and are super comfortable thanks to the pull-on styling and drawstring waist.

"Achieve comfortable sophistication with these wide-leg trousers," Next's description of the pants says, echoing our thoughts exactly. "Perfect for elevated casual wear."

Speaking of casual, these pants can easily be paired with a plain white tee and white sneakers, then dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For the office, we'd finish the look with an oversized blazer – which you could wear layered over a structured, white shirt with the buttons undone.

For running errands or meeting your mates for matcha, throw a cardigan on and add warmth with a matching coat, like this burgundy jacket, which is also from Next. No look is complete without accessories, so finish things off with a burgundy bag, too.
