Dress pants that flatter your silhouette and are incredibly comfortable for everyday wear

Suit trousers have become my favorite piece for everyday looks. They are very versatile, fit fantastically, and depending on how you pair them you can achieve an elegant look or a more casual one. I always look for comfortable and stylish garments for my office outfits, and this type of trousers fulfills both requirements.

This year, moreover, the balloon silhouette has also arrived on suit pants, a silhouette that widens at the hip and thigh, drawing a curved leg, and narrows progressively toward the ankle. This type of fit, besides being incredibly comfortable, is very flattering, enhances the figure and adds a trendy touch to any look.

With a curved silhouette, the key is to pair them with fitted tops on top, such as a turtleneck sweater or a basic shirt. Balloon-silhouette suit pants have become my favorites for everyday wear, and the model I like the most is at Zara.

It is a high-rise design crafted in viscose yarn, featuring hidden side pockets in the seam and a front closure with a zipper, inner button and metal hooks. The best part is the deep darts detail at the front, which start at the waist and run along the leg, generating the volume characteristic at the hip and thigh.

The pinstripe pattern and the color, in chocolate brown, are also a plus. They are very versatile and pair with everything, and with such a distinctive silhouette they always become the protagonist piece of the look, looking great with more basic garments.

How to style the balloon-silhouette suit trousers for everyday wear


White basic T-shirt from Zara

To pair this type of trousers and achieve a perfect everyday look, the first thing we need is a white basic T-shirt like this, knitted in a cotton-blend yarn, with a round neck and short sleeves and a straight hem (17.95 €).

On top, and playing with layering, we can add this V-neck sweater in the same color of the V-neck and long sleeves. That said, it looks much better if we tuck the front inside the trousers, so the silhouette is clearly visible (29.95 €).


Moccasins in suede from Zara

As for footwear, I would add these suede loafers, with side ruching and a bow detail on the front and a rounded toe. They are on trend and go fantastically with the tone of the look (25.99 €).


Leather belt from Zara

Finally, a styling trick to elongate the silhouette and elevate the look: add a belt. At Zara we have this 3 cm wide belt with the main material made of 100% leather, and with a square metal buckle (25.95 €).
