Instead of wearing jeans all the time why not swap and wear trousers, or wear trousers as alternatives to other bottoms. Different trousers create different shapes and silhouettes which is very interesting. They can make a statement by wearing it with a plain top. Sometimes jeans can get a bit boring so why not try some of these trousers.

1.       Cigarette trousers

I like how cigarette trousers can be styled as both casual and formal depending on the fabric it is. It’s almost tight fitting but not quite. So if you want something close to skinny jeans these are the perfect alternatives.

Palazzo trousers are similar to wide leg trousers. The only difference is the Palazzo trousers have extreme wide leg flares. This is also good for spring/ summer but mainly for summer as this is usually made of lightweight and breathable fabrics.
