Fashion week is upon us, which means that the Cosmo team is out on the frontline of style, spotting the next big trend just as it hits the catwalk.
However, there are already plenty of trends to pick from this season: knee high boots, chore jackets, cobalt blue...the list goes on.
One trend that we're excited to integrate into our wardrobes is 'power casual' aka the tendency towards smarter, more polished silhouettes and tones but adapted for the everyday.
In case you're wondering what that looks like IRL - and what it means for your day-to-day comfort - look no further than Mango. The chic high street store has just released a pair of wide-legged, tailored trousers in recycled denim that we instantly added to cart.
Made from 100% cotton, this denim-style fabric has all the comfort of jeans but all the polish of a smart trouser. With a wide-leg and mid-rise design, with dart detail and two side pockets, it's brimming with elevated touches.
Also, good news, it's made from recycled cotton and around 20% of the fabric is made from textile waste that's been transformed into a new fabric.
100% cotton denim-style fabric. Long design. Wide-leg design. Rinse wash. Mid-rise. Belt loops. Dart detail. Two side pockets. Concealed hook and zip fastening.
We'd style this one with a slouchy jumper and a blazer for a versatile outfit for everyday, or pair with a shirt and loafers for an office-ready outfit that is sure to be a winner. You can also pair it with a crisp tee and a pair of trainers, if you're looking for a go-to casual outfit.
Comfy office outfits, sorted!
