The nights are drawing in, the weather is getting colder, and my wardrobe is starting to take notice. I\u2019ve dug out my warmest winter coats<\/a> in preparation, de-bobbled all of my knitwear ready for daily rotation, and packed away my flip-flops and sandals in favour of more seasonally appropriate boots<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But perhaps the biggest indicator I\u2019m ready for cosy season is the fact I\u2019m shunning my jeans in favour of comfy alternatives. Think trousers<\/a> with a bit of stretch to them, elasticated waistbands, and soft-touch fabrics that have the effect of making me feel like I’m wrapped in a blanket. An ideal scenario when in reality I’m trekking through the wind and rain in half darkness on my morning commute.<\/p>\n

For the ultimate in luxury legwear, you can’t go wrong with a pair of wide-leg knitted trousers. Ticking all my aforementioned comfort requirements, they also manage to deliver an effortlessly elegant appearance thanks to their streamlined, minimal silhouette and a colour palette that mainly consists of warm neutrals and rich autumnal hues, like chocolate brown and burgundy<\/a>. Whether you dress yours up with a structured jacket and kitten heels for dinners out with friends, or stick to a coordinating cardigan and slippers for weekends spent snuggled up on the sofa, you’re sure to get plenty of wear out of this wardrobe staple during the forthcoming cold-weather months.<\/p>\n

Here are the 9 best wide-leg knitted trousers to shop now, from \u00a316.<\/p>\n

Charcoal is business-coded (we blame nationwide school uniform trousers for the connotation), but that means you can wear these knit trousers to the office and feel like you’re in pyjamas. Pair with a button-down shirt or blouse and black kitten-heel, pointed-toe boots to make the look even smarter.<\/p>\n
