I’m really glad that trousers are having a moment and especially a really relaxed one! I did not get rid of my wonderful suits from before I retired. I figured they would still be useful if I just used each piece separately with other tops and bottoms. But they just didn’t seem comfortable for working from home. I’m looking forward to learning how to wear trousers in a relaxed way. I never thought of wearing them around the house before. I love the fact that there are endless possibilities when we explore new things.
Also included in this post is how to break up a suit by taking the trousers and pairing them with other things rather than just with a matching blazer. That way, they are wearable in so many more ways from casual days in to evenings out! Age doesn’t matter.
