Over the past week I've been deliberately looking for ways to elevate my summer wardrobe. Because as the weather warms up, I can already feel myself falling into the trap of wearing the jeans, T-shirt and sandals on rotation. But no more!
Instilled with a sudden inclination to level up my daily looks, I took to social media to see what new summer trends and fresh outfits inspired me. After a mammoth scrolling session, I went on to survey my saved folder to see if anything jumped out at me. Lo and behold, between the hundreds (genuinely, hundreds) of street style, influencer and celebrity snaps I hoarded, one very clear common denominator emerged—cream satin trousers.
It would appear fashion people have also been looking for an alternative to their failsafe denim, as so many looks I found centred around silky trousers. While black and brown pairs were also prevalent, cream and white satin trousers are the ones to style this season.
Elegance is still a core trend in fashion right now, with brands continuing to serve up refined pieces such as bouclé jackets, large suede bags, and chic slingbacks. Satin trousers fit seamlessly into these sophisticated ranks—the fluid fabric catches the light in a way that always makes them look expensive (no matter how much you spend on a pair) and gives the trouser itself a graceful silhouette, while the creamy colour way ensures they feel classic. Another key factor that runs through the elegant aesthetic is versatility and, I dare say, I think you'll struggle to find something a cream satin trouser won't go with.
While I probably wouldn't advise wearing a cream satin trouser on a muddy dog walk, that doesn't mean you have to keep your pairs for best. They look just as good with a tank top and trainers for running errands as they do dressed up with a matching silky top and ballet flats.
While I'll never turn my back on my jeans, it feels good to be excited about getting dressed again. If you're anything like me and have a gap in your wardrobe for a piece such as this, scroll on to see and shop the chicest pairs of cream satin trousers on the market (and to keep tabs on how fashion people are wearing theirs right now).
