Hold the jeans. If you want to breathe some life into your summer rotation, this is the simple swap I recommend. Subbing out her usual denim for a voluminous pair of balloon trousers, Iris Law crafted an effortless but totally chic ensemble that’s inspired my approach to late-summer styling.
With their soft, sculptural shape that tapers out towards the knees before securing tightly around the ankle, balloon trousers bring dimension and movement to an outfit. Styled with ballet flats, the pairing creates a relaxed but elevated outfit that’s perfect for day-to-day styling.
Keeping the rest of her look understated, Iris paired her trousers with a short-sleeved button-down blouse finished with the prettiest ruffled collar.
If you’re looking for an easy alternative to jeans that feels just as versatile, balloon trousers are one of the smartest investments you can make this season. Read on to shop my edit of the best pairs available now.
