I Just Tried Reformation’s Elegant Satin Trousers

As someone who rarely reaches for a skirt or a throw-on dress, I find myself turning to trousers or jeans most days. Naturally, I’ve tried almost every cut of jeans, rated the very best tailored trousers, and now I want something different to mix up my looks. My demands are pretty high, wanting ease and comfort with a serious dose of sophistication, and the answer can be found in satin trousers. Now, as picky as I am with my jeans and tailoring, I spent hours searching for the right cut, silhouette and composition to instantly elevate my looks. Finally, I settled on Reformation’s Gale Satin Mid Rise Bias Pants.

The outfit inspiration for satin trousers is truly endless. Elegant evenings out can be bolstered with a nice top and a pair of mules, whilst relaxed days call simply for a chunky knit and flats. Even through the warmer months, satin trousers are rarely far from stylish people’s outfit rotations. A simple tank top suddenly looks considered when styled with these slinky trousers and sandals. As for an oversized T-shirt, just layer on jewellery and you’re ready to go.

As I found myself in the Reformation changing rooms the other day, trying on a host of jeans, I decided to test out the Gale pants. One of my colleagues had recently worn a sophisticated look composed of the navy pair, a matching navy knit and trainers. The entire outfit oozed elegance, whilst being decidedly comfortable and relaxed. It’s a hard balance to find, but one that the Gale pants are ready for.

Crafted from 88% Naia Renew, a silk alternative that is more sustainable and less impactful than silk, but with all the shine and slinky feel. The pull-on design of the trousers adds to the comfortable composition and keeps a streamlined look, which works well with longer and shorter tops alike. The Gale pants come in both standard length and cropped. Above, I tried on the standard length, but at 5’2″, added the shorter version to my wardrobe. In terms of colourway, Reformation’s staple shades are cream, black, navy and brown, all endlessly elevated and easy to blend into any wardrobe.
